Vico Wine Bar Villa Crespo

"Vico Wine Bar is great for a fun date night, since it turns wine tasting into a choose-your-own-adventure type of experience. When you arrive, you’ll get a special card that you can use to serve yourself from 100+ bottles in by-the-glass dispensers—it’s like having an unlimited pass at the wine amusement park. Friendly, knowledgeable sommeliers are always close by and ready to advise if you need a hand, and once you’ve made your choice, you can add some small plates or a cheese board to round out the night." - annie bacher

"On any given night in Buenos Aires, expect Vico Wine Bar to be packed with chic Portenos huddled over glasses of wine and charcuterie boards. Plump emerald couches fill the room, and though everything from the music to the rustic beams overhead screams “cozy wine bar,"

"First impression? For a country that produces so much wine, it's surprisingly hard to find a good wine bar. And this one is unique in that it's a self-service kind of place. Instead of reading the menu, you walk it, literally. Lining the brick walls of the space are Wineemotion dispensers. You check out the label, maybe ask a few questions of the sommelier, then insert a little card in the machine and pour yourself a degustación (35ml), media copa (75 ml) or copa (150 ml). You can grab a seat at one of the high-top tables or lounge on a plush emerald green sofa. Cool. So who’s there? With 140 wine labels on offer, this is a place for serious oenophiles—or at least, those who want to look like they know what they're talking about and drinking. Worth ordering something to eat, too? There's no bad choice on this menu—from its cheese plates to a delish grilled octopus and potato dish, and wagyu beef with salsa criolla. Go hungry and thirsty! Did the staff do you right? Everyone who works here seems incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. They want you to have a good time and it shows. Wrap it up: what are we coming here for? Great place if you want to impress someone, whether a date or business colleague." - Celeste Moure
