The area around Allende and Republica de Cuba in the Centro Historico could be called Dive Bar Heaven, if your version of heaven involves lots great places to get cheap beer, meet people, and have fun. Here’s two places I really like when I’m in this neighborhood but not at Rio de la Plata (which has its own review on this site). Both are on Rep. de Cuba between Allende and Callejon 57. Metro Allende is the closest to this general location, Metro Bellas Artes is close too.
La Nueva Excelencia: Maybe it’s the glass brick bar or pastel colored walls, but this place reminds me of bars you see in Pedro Almodovar films. The “New Excellence” has a legit stage where bands perform on weekends and an open bar with a nice balcony. They also have Karaoke some nights, which can be downright hilarious depending on how many 15 peso beers the people there have consumed.
Cube Libre: Cuba Libre is an awesome little place that tends to have rock and/or metal music most weekends. The clientele is of the young/rocker type and the beers are 12 pesos, the lowest I know of in the neighborhood. I’ve ended up here on numerous nights and really enjoyed myself…plus I can usually get in when some of the other bars are full. I don’t think I’d show up at this place in a golf polo and khakis though.
