Ok, so to go out in Bs As, you need to know the right people.
There are a few popular clubs: Crobar, Rosebar, Museum, Asia de Cuba, Terrazas, Kika… And if you want to get in for less than $100, you need to get there before 2.30 AM and have the name of a list.
I’m not sure how they figured it out business-wise, because in the end, you enter for free, the name of the guy on the list gets a commission, and well, of course they make money off the drinks later, but the club doesn’t really get much in that transaction. Although, later, if you want to get in, no matter who you know, in general, it does not work out. They will make you pay, and you may be a group of very hot girls, they are not going to let you in for free !
In France (Europe in general I assume), it’s more simple: they want hot girls in their clubs. So you usually don’t have to pay the entrance, depends on the club, but also, if you’re a group of 5 chicks, they will let you in with great pleasure. If you’re a group of 5 guys, it can be tough. They actually refuse the entrance sometimes. They just size you up at the door, and depending on the club’s policy, they let you in or turn you down.
Which actually hasn’t happened to me here either. Either you have a list, no problem, or you don’t, and if you pay, you’ll enter as well. It doesn’t seem that they have some kind of policy as for who gets in, or a priority for girls.
Well, back to my story, I’ve met so many people here that in the end every night I have one to five guest lists available, and I just feel so VIP to go to pretty much any club, say a name and just being let in with all my friends for free, with VIP access…
To party right in Buenos Aires, you just need to know the magic words :)
