Floreria Atlántico

Argentina’s Famed, Open-Flame Hit Makes Dramatic D.C. Entrance | Eater DC

"Born in Buenos Aires in 2013, this famed basement bar ranks among the World’s 50 Best and carries a humble origin story: after a decade‑long search for the right space, it opened what its founder says was Argentina’s first basement bar on a $60,000 budget. A records‑only tradition took root here and continues to define the brand’s intimate, culture‑driven vibe." - Tierney Plumb

"Florería Atlántico An observer from the sidewalk might puzzle as groups of people march into this pretty flower store—and don’t emerge shortly with bouquets. The customers are not here for the blossoms but for what lies below. A door at the rear of the shop leads downstairs to a long speakeasy bar and an adjacent line of hard-to-snag tables. Sea monsters and fish scales emerge from the walls, and as the name Atlántico suggests, the seafood and old-school-aperitif recipes that European immigrants brought to Argentina when they crossed the eponymous pond are the inspiration behind cuisine and cocktails alike. The Spanish-style pulpo (octopus) or the jumbo prawns draw raves; reserve for dinner to avoid a likely wait. Or wedge into the bar to enjoy the innovative, much-ballyhooed mixology. By Travesías"
