Mandarina
Mandarina fits the Güemes neighborhood perfectly: colorful, artsy, and unpretentious. The cocktail bar occupies a space decorated with bold colors and local art that makes it feel more like a gallery than a drinking spot. The cocktail menu focuses on fruity, fresh combinations using local spirits and seasonal ingredients. They're easy-drinking and well-balanced, aimed at people who want something tastier than a gin and tonic but aren't interested in a mixology lecture. The crowd skews young and creative, reflecting the neighborhood's bohemian reputation. Weekend evenings fill the space with conversation and music from resident DJs.

Insider Tip
The outdoor seating is pleasant on warm evenings. Try their signature fruity cocktails rather than sticking to classics. This is the kind of place where the house specials are actually better than the standards.
