Lagares Hostel Mendoza

Well-located social hostel, walking distance from the main avenue San Martin and most famous local bars and restaurants. The hostel has a great indoor common room and a beautiful terrace where guests like to chill with a glass of wine. Free homemade buffet breakfast served every morning.

Campo Base Hostel

Campo Base runs wine tastings, BBQ dinners, and pizza nights from its on-site bar. Mendoza is the right city for that, surrounded by Malbec-producing bodegas. Rated 8.8. The common room is large and social, and the bar programme includes regular parties and happy hours. Aristides Villanueva, the main street for backpackers, is a 10-minute walk: La Reserva beer garden and Sektor Disco both sit on it, pints of Quilmes from ARS 700. Plaza Independencia is the other reference point, with street performers and pop-up wine stalls in the evenings.

Hostel International Mendoza

Mendoza isn’t just about Malbec and mountains: it’s where backpackers gather for cheap wine, late-night asados, and hostels that turn strangers into mates by midnight. Hostel International Mendoza is in Aristides Villanueva, which puts it at the start of that circuit. Hostel Dale Bar on Calle Necochea 740. The in-house bar at Hostel Dale is where the crawl starts. La Reserva on Aristides Villanueva 217 is the fallback option if the first place is packed. At €5 a night and rated 8.1. Rated 8.1, which is adequate. Not the city's best, but not the worst either.

Aristides Villanueva

A straight kilometre of bars, clubs, and late-night parrillas. The street is pedestrianised after 20:00, so you can wander between venues without dodging traffic. Most hostels run crawls here, and it’s where you’ll end up after midnight.

Plaza Independencia

The city’s main square, surrounded by colonial buildings and fountains. During the day, it’s a meeting point for tours. At night, the surrounding streets fill with street performers and pop-up wine stalls. The action is low-key but good for early drinks.

Godoy Cruz

A residential area 15 minutes west of the centre, known for its peñas and local dive bars. Fewer tourists, cheaper drinks. Calle San Martín is the main strip: expect ARS 500 beers and live music most nights.

The in-house bar at Hostel Dale is where the crawl starts. Happy hour runs 20:00–22:00 with ARS 400 beers and ARS 600 cocktails. The crowd is mostly backpackers, so it’s easy to make friends before heading out. Music leans toward reggaeton and rock.

A two-storey beer garden on Aristides Villanueva. Long wooden tables and strings of fairy lights give it a festival feel. Pint of Quilmes costs ARS 700, and the kitchen does decent burgers until 02:00. Gets packed after midnight with a mix of locals and travellers.

Mendoza’s biggest club, spread over three floors. Electronic on the ground, reggaeton upstairs, and a rooftop terrace for cooling off. Entry is ARS 1,500 and includes one drink. Dress sharp: bouncers turn away flip-flops and vests.

A peña folk club where live bands play chacarera and zamba. Cover charge is ARS 1,200, which includes a glass of wine. The crowd is older, but backpackers come for the authentic vibe. Shows start at 23:30 and finish around 03:00.

A tiny bar with 20 taps of Argentine craft beer. Try the IPA from Patagonia or the stout from Mendoza. Pints cost ARS 800–1,100. It’s standing-room only after 22:00, so arrive early for a stool.

A cocktail bar with a speakeasy feel. The menu is inventive: think Malbec-infused gin and tonic or Fernet sours. Cocktails run ARS 1,200–1,500. Open until 04:00 on weekends, but it’s quiet before midnight.
