Bars in Mendoza

Antares Mendoza is the city's most accessible entry point into Argentina's craft beer scene, located on the bar-dense Arístides Villanueva strip. The kitchen takes bar food seriously enough to justify a full sitting rather than a quick drink. Walk-ins are easy, the spend is lower than nearby wine bars, and arriving before 10 PM keeps the noise at a manageable level.

Azafran sits on Av. Sarmiento in central Mendoza, making it one of the few serious wine-focused options you can reach on foot rather than by organised transport. Worth prioritising on a second visit when the winery circuit is done and you want a relaxed, cross-producer pour in the city. Booking difficulty is low.
