The best plans to celebrate Pride in Buenos Aires

Pride was Argentina’s first daytime gay bar, and since 2004 it has blended coffee, culture, and community with a unique vibe. A meeting point for artists, friends, exes, and future loves, it has always been a refuge for those looking for more than just a night out: an open home scented with espresso and windows to the world.

Good news: in August 2025, it will reopen its doors on the historic Av. de Mayo, with the same vibe and a new view. You’ll recognize it instantly—the sign’s letters stand out and there are tables outside.

Fun fact: they say poet Naty Menstrual is often spotted at its tables.

Where: Balcarce 869.

House music, history, and diversity: since 2005, Namunkurá is more than a party—it’s a ritual for those who find expression and freedom on the dance floor. Every month, in the heart of downtown Buenos Aires, Requiem Club becomes a meeting point where generations, styles, and bodies come together, dancing to the most queer house beats in the city. Go enjoy this club that beats strong.

Fun fact: this year it celebrated two decades and paid tribute to the icons who passed through, with a dress full of their faces.

Where: Av. de Mayo 948.

A gay bar with attitude and a name that speaks for itself. Right in the city center, Puticlú is a delicious den for those wanting to break the mold without asking for permission. With irreverent nights, unpredictable events, and potent drinks, it has become a refuge for night creatures who shine with authenticity. Not for everyone—and that’s its charm. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 9 p.m.

Fun fact: you’ll find the perfect mix of pop, techno, reggaeton, and parties depending on the current astrological month.

Where: Marcelo T. de Alvear 980.

A cultural space and refuge for LGBTIQ+ diversity. La Greco offers breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinners with affordable deals to keep your energy up. At night, the place lights up with live shows, magic, performances, karaoke, and DJs who keep the rhythm going all day long.

Here you’ll find everything from a "putiperreo" if you’re feeling nostalgic, to a mimosa party if you’re heartbroken, or a flirty techno-pop night if you want to let yourself go.

Fun fact: entry is free—no excuses not to go.

Where: Perú 269.

A community and intercultural bar in San Telmo, created by queer political migrants. An artivist and transfeminist space for co-creation, dialogue, education, and nonviolent resistance, always respecting diversity and dignity.

A perfect representation of our times—you can enjoy a Coffee Rave while reading YÖBLA’s manifesto, which in Russian means “the people your mom doesn’t want you hanging out with.” Like many of us at some point, unable to find a place to be, they made one, and so was born Yöbla Bar.

Fun fact: enjoy a carefully curated vinyl music selection at every gathering.

Where: Bolívar 986.

LGBTIQ+ Cultural Center in Villa Crespo, home to Brandon for Equality. Since 2005, it has been an activist meeting point with shows, films, poetry, books, cycles, and community. They also support projects like Editorial Brandon, Brandon Records, and their queer library. Some of South America’s most beloved singers, like Susy Shock, are a stable part of the lineup. Even John Waters shined here, visiting after a BAFICI screening at the “pink little house.”

Casa Brandon is well known to foreigners visiting Buenos Aires who seek that beautiful vibe we have here: good energy, good company, and a feeling of home. Founded by Lisa Kerner, it is an indispensable space for Buenos Aires’ queer culture.

Fun fact: it’s an unclassifiable, affectionate space where there’s always something happening.

Where: Luis María Drago 236.

Yes, you read that right. If you spell it out, it sounds exactly as you say it. A classic queer spot in Buenos Aires, Peuteo is much more than a bar: it’s community, emotion, and queer art. It’s a gay bar but also heterofriendly—no one is left out.

Signature cocktails, finger-food cuisine, and an inclusive atmosphere where pride is celebrated all year long. Open Wednesday to Sunday and pre-holidays from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m.

Fun fact: don’t get confused if you see “Gayrruchaga” on the sign—that’s the place.

Where: Gurruchaga 1867.

A laboratory of ideas, art, and activism. Maquinal is much more than a space—it’s a collective heartbeat where art meets technology, critical thinking, and dissidence.

Located in Abasto, its program combines exhibitions, parties, theater, and talks, activating a vibrant community that never stops creating. Maquinal invites you to a revolutionary act: turning free time into a work of art. You’ll also find plenty of solidarity and support in this lively scene.

Fun fact: you might find an unstoppable staff in a kiki ball competition (the dance of queer resistance), or the most vibrant singer for the girls.

Where: Anchorena 364, Abasto.

Thursdays have their own name in Buenos Aires: Club 69. Based at Niceto Club, this iconic party mixes DJ sets of house, nu disco, and tech house with themed shows full of humor, erotism, and loads of creativity.

Their troupe, La Compañía Inestable, takes performance to another level: each night is a different scene, a provocative game where body and desire are celebrated without shame. Over three hours of queer hedonism in a pop, glamour, and performative delirium key. The number of the party is no coincidence: giving and receiving pleasure is the law.

Fun fact: tickets sell out fast, so get them in advance here.

Where: Niceto Vega 5510, Palermo.

In the heart of Almagro, La Tribu Mostra is the cultural bar of FM La Tribu, a queer, self-managed, community space.

Much more than a sports group, Dogos is a space for gathering, support, and pride. They have been swimming for ten years, and today more than a hundred people are united by the desire to practice sports from a place of diversity.

They bring together members and allies of the LGBTIQ+ community who find in swimming a way of wellbeing, activism, and freedom. Last year they hosted IGLA 2024, the LGBTIQ+ Aquatic Sports World Championship—a historic edition as it was the first time held outside the United States.

Additionally, they run workshops and training for club and sports center staff to ensure respectful and inclusive locker room spaces. Dogos continues to show that sports is also a territory to be yourself.

In the Abasto neighborhood, four blocks from the Pueyrredón subway station (Line B), lies the transfeminist neighborhood space JJ Cultural Circuit.
