1 Blest Microcervecería Av Bustillo Km11.6 
02944/461026 This microbrewery has an excellent selection of very good home-made brews – their potent strawberry beer is especially worth sampling. It also serves meals. Opening time: Open noon–1am daily
2 
Che Papa's John O'Connor 33 A relaxed, bohemian hangout, this is a cosy and friendly little bar that will be a hit with Che Guevara-philes.
3 Map Room Urquiza 248 www.themaproom.com.ar Run by a US and Argentine couple of ex-backpacker origin, this restaurant/bar is packed with memorabilia from their extensive travels. The food is good too, and very reasonably priced. Opening time: Closed Sun
4 Pilgrim Palacios 167 02944/421686 www.pilgrim.com.ar Owned by the same folk as Blest, the Pilgrim has an equally fine selection of beer, serves burgers and more and boasts a good atmosphere to boot.
5 Trapalanda España 322 One of the few bars in Bariloche with a terrace and beer garden, this bar is rapidly turning into a traveller's hangout. Fresh fruit cocktails are delicious.
6 Wilkenny Irish Pub San Martín 435 02944/424444 Standard wannabe Irish bar with happy hour on selected drinks each night 7–9pm. This is the most famous party pub in Patagonia – drinks are not cheap.
