Right next to Gaston Acurio’s restaurant La Mar, in Palermo Hollywood, a flight of stairs takes you on a journey to the New York metro, heading Uptown. The illusion is perfect: a metro tunnel complete with authentic mosaic tiles, vintage advertising posters, and subway benches. They even imported a repurposed New York metro car straight from the US. Walk through the wagon, snap a few selfies, press the green button, and enter one of Palermo’s most popular bars!
Uptown (now operating as “Uptown & The Bronx”) remains one of Buenos Aires’ most innovative bar concepts, and reservations are highly recommended to avoid lengthy waits. The cocktail program is exceptional, featuring creative drinks that complement the New York theme.
The menu was designed by Dante Liporace, one of Argentina’s most acclaimed chefs who previously led the Presidential kitchen. Following the New York metro theme, the food is unpretentious yet delicious, featuring excellent hamburgers, pork ribs, hot dogs, and other American comfort food classics that perfectly match the subway atmosphere.
This New York subway-themed bar takes concept building to an extraordinary level, creating a complete reconstruction of the NYC subway experience that transports guests from Palermo Hollywood directly to Manhattan.
Distance from Palo Santo Hotel:
Just a 7-minute walk (600 meters) through the vibrant streets of Palermo Hollywood.
