A lavishly appointed drinking destination in BA's refined Recoleta barrio, Milión has been catering to the city's style-conscious since 1999. The bar specialises in classic cocktails, and the only one to match the heritage and peculiarly South American grandeur of Milión itself is a 'Pisco Sour'.
Almost certainly the most beautiful, graceful bar in Buenos Aires, Milión is over a decade into its reign and still effortlessly outshining the competition. It's impressive from the outside – an ornate turn-of-the-century art-nouveau townhouse – but inside the building's sumptuous heritage clashes elegantly with inspired design touches, contemporary art and projected visuals.
We recommend proceeding straight through to the garden as you enter, all the better to appreciate the fantastic stone stairway leading up to the bar – the sense of elegance and occasion is dazzling. If you find a seat and manage to attract some service, then the experience is the height of refinement. Order a 'Pisco Sour', made with pisco – a traditional grape brandy originating from Chile and Peru, and drunk everywhere in Buenos Aires – sourmix and an egg-white: a sophisticated South American classic for the purists. It's the cocktails rather than the food that are the stars of the show at Milión, but if you're here to eat, try to bag a table on the stunning terrace under the stars.
