Best Party Hostels
in Buenos Aires

Milhouse Hostel Avenue

Definitely a social hostel with a crazy party vibe most nights and a superb and friendly staff that makes sure everyone has a good time. With many tours and activities organised every day. By day you can go discover the city, check on-site Spanish classes, Argentinean cooking lessons or tango class. At night you'll find in their bar live music, themed parties, open-mic nights or quiz and game nights.

ilVero Hostel Recoleta

Bars don't fill up until midnight, clubs run until 7am, and the city has a nightlife culture that takes itself seriously in the best possible way. ilVero Hostel Recoleta is in Palermo, which puts it at the start of that circuit. Crobar on Avenida Infanta Isabel 3901, Palermo. One of Buenos Aires' most established clubs, Crobar consistently pulls top international and local DJs for electronic and house nights. Niceto Club on Niceto Vega 5510, Palermo is the fallback option if the first place is packed. At €10 a night and rated 9.2. At 9.2, it's near the top of Buenos Aires's hostel field without being the standout leader.

Milhouse Hostel Hipo

With a less crazy vibe than it's sister hostel, but still social and only 5 minutes away from the other. The activities are organised together with guests from both hostels. Their rooftop terrace is famous for hosting legendary parties and barbecues. Some people say that Hipo, which is the original hostel, has a bit more charm than the other one. You can't go wrong with either of them though. You'll have a good time.

Viajero Buenos Aires Hostel

Guests voted America del Sur Hostel Buenos Aires as the best in Argentina and Latin America at the 2011 Hoscars. Travellers review this place as a friendly, enthusiastic and competent space where you can chill but also you can party a lot!

Viajero Buenos Aires Hostel

Viajero Buenos Aires Hostel pulses with the vibrant nightlife of San Telmo, Buenos Aires. Dive into the city's festive spirit with pool parties on the terrace, tango nights, and live music, all steps away from bustling bars and techno clubs.

Palermo

Palermo is the largest neighbourhood in Buenos Aires and its undisputed nightlife centre. The streets around Plaza Serrano, officially called Plaza Cortázar, are packed with bars, restaurants, and clubs, with Avenida Santa Fe and Honduras running through the action. It splits into Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood, both worth exploring on foot.

San Telmo

San Telmo is Buenos Aires' oldest neighbourhood and sits just south of the microcentro along Defensa street, which runs down to the famous Sunday market. At night it fills with tango bars, live music venues, and independent hostels including the well-known Art Factory. The cobbled streets and colonial architecture make it one of the most atmospheric places in the city.

Recoleta

Recoleta sits north of the city centre and borders Palermo, known for the Recoleta Cemetery and some of the city's most elegant architecture along Avenida Alvear. The nightlife here skews slightly older and more upmarket than Palermo, with wine bars and cocktail lounges rather than high-volume clubs. It's a good base if you want quieter streets but still easy access to Palermo by taxi.

One of Buenos Aires' most established clubs, Crobar consistently pulls top international and local DJs for electronic and house nights. The sound system is serious, the crowd is mixed between locals and tourists, and things don't peak until around 3am. Cover charges vary but typically run between 1,500 and 3,000 ARS depending on the night.

Niceto is a Palermo institution known for its Thursday night Club 69 party, a wildly popular event mixing live performances, drag, and electronic music that's been running for years. The venue itself is mid-sized with a good dance floor and decent bar prices by Buenos Aires standards. Get there after 1:30am on a Thursday if you want to see it properly.

Not a club, but worth every bit of your attention. La Peña del Colorado is a traditional folk music bar in Palermo where local musicians play live folklore, tango, and chacarera most nights of the week. It's loud, communal, and genuinely Argentine in a way that few tourist-facing venues are. Arrive before 10pm if you want a table.

A San Telmo classic that's been open since 1864 and somehow manages not to feel like a museum. Bar El Federal is a proper old-school bodegón with marble tables, local regulars, and cold Quilmes beer. It's a pre-drinks spot rather than a late-night destination, but the atmosphere at 10pm before you head out elsewhere is hard to beat.

A laid-back bar in Palermo with an outdoor terrace that fills up on warm evenings with a mix of locals and travellers. Hierba does solid cocktails and the kind of ambient music that keeps conversation easy without drowning it out. It's good for the early part of the night before moving on to the clubs.

A tango bar and theatre space in Almagro, the neighbourhood that locals consider the true home of tango. Shows happen most nights and the milonga sessions after the performance are the real deal, attended by serious dancers rather than tourist crowds. A genuinely different night out from the standard club circuit.
