Buller Brewing Company
Buller was one of the first craft breweries in Buenos Aires and still holds its own. The brewpub sits on Recoleta's main drag with a long bar, copper brewing tanks visible behind glass, and a rotating selection of house-made beers. They typically have 8-10 taps running, from a crisp Honey Ale to heavier stouts and seasonal IPAs. The kitchen backs it up with pub food that pairs well with the beers. After 10 PM, the place fills with a local after-work crowd and groups that treat it as a starting point for the night. It's not a nightlife destination, but it's a reliably good place to drink well-made beer.
What to Expect
A proper brewpub with a social atmosphere. You can sit at the bar and watch the brewing operation while working through their tap list. Groups tend to cluster around high tables. It gets loud but never clubby. A solid option for beer lovers who want something better than the standard Argentine lager.
Buzzy and social. Half brewpub, half neighborhood bar.
Background rock and indie. Not a music venue.
Casual to smart casual. Recoleta's after-work crowd keeps it neat.
Craft beer enthusiasts and groups looking for a social drinking spot with good food.

Insider Tip
Try the beer flight if you can't decide. The seasonal brews are worth asking about. The bar gets packed on Friday evenings, so arrive before 9 PM for a seat.
Full Review
Buller operates from a spacious brewpub on Presidente Roberto M. Ortiz, with an outdoor terrace facing a quiet Recoleta street and an interior that seats several dozen across a dining area and bar section. The brewing equipment is visible through glass panels, and the beer menu features around a dozen house-brewed options ranging from lagers to stouts.
The beer quality is solid across the board. The IPA and honey beer are the most popular choices, and seasonal offerings rotate throughout the year. Food follows the standard brewpub formula of burgers, ribs, and shareable platters, executed well enough to complement the drinks. Service is friendly and knowledgeable about the beer selection.
Buller fills the craft beer niche in a neighborhood that leans toward wine bars and cocktail lounges. It's not trying to compete with Palermo's trendier craft beer spots but offers a comfortable, reliable option for beer lovers in Recoleta. The terrace is the highlight on pleasant evenings, providing a relaxed setting that most indoor-only bars can't match.
The terrace fills quickly after 7 PM on warm evenings, so arrive early or plan to sit inside. The beer flight sampler is the best way to try the range if you're visiting for the first time. Weekend afternoons are quieter than evenings and good for a casual lunch.
The Neighborhood
Buller sits near the Recoleta cultural hub, close to the cemetery, the Centro Cultural Recoleta, and several art galleries. The surrounding streets are some of the most walkable in Buenos Aires, with cafes and restaurants lining every block.
Getting There
Walk from the H line metro at Las Heras, about 8 minutes. Bus routes along Avenida Del Libertador pass close by. Taxis from Palermo take about 10 minutes.
