La sala de los shows es grande y cómoda; las veces que vi bandas ahi sonó siempre bien y siempre estuvimos bien atendidos. La parte que es restaurant está un poco mas abajo del promedio, pero el énfasis de la propuesta esta en los shows y la música. Si te cansaste de ir a bares de Jazz o de que te sorprenda una banda de salsa en el lugar más inesperado, Vinilo es el hogar de la música popular porteña.

Very decent jazz club. Cozy setting but the acoustics are just ok (more echo than I'm used to)…read more Prices were affordable as the cover was 450 pesos (parking costs more in LA or NY) and a whiskey and club soda was another 450. The trio playing this night was doing a "big band" theme so basically playing covers of other past greats. Wish there was more originality. Again, each individual was skilled but Jazz is more than putting together 3 or 4 skilled instrumentalists. So for BA this may be a 5 star venue but perhaps my experience was disappointing given I expected more on a Saturday night.

Love this venue. Great acoustics and comfortable all around. The area of San Telmo is super…read moreaccessible and the place is clean, first rate. It's the perfect size for an intimate concert, I saw the National here and it was amazing! Upstairs you can sit and still see the stage and usually everyone ends up downstairs at some point anyways. Downstairs is great for dancing and being up close to the stage. You can eat and drink beforehand during and after. Great!

Full disclosure: I went here to see my bandoneon teacher play for a tango show. So I got in as his…read moreguest, and didn't get any dinner. I can only speak to the quality of the show... And now I'll Further admit, I've never been to another tango show! I've danced socially for eight years, so I see plenty of tango already. And there's something overly touristy about shows, for me. But that's because I dance tango almost every friggin' day when I'm down here, and play in a tango orchestra back home. I am not the target customer. But! I totally enjoyed it. It turns out this particular show is not as 'slick' as what I expected, because they hire capable pros, and let them do their thing. So there's a good amount of improvisation (aka: realness) that I believe these shows often lack. The people next to me asked if I thought it was choreography, and I honestly can't say, for 80% of it. He was obviously actually leading her, so it had none of that "dancing with the stars" fakeness. They were watching actual tango dancing, at a high level. And as tricky as their moves were, I think it was mostly improvised... And of course the music was great, but who knows if non- tango people can tell the difference? Martin (bando player) told me that they get to choose different songs for much of the show, so they're wingin' it. Tango is like jazz: you *want* them to be wingin' it. But they rarely are, because it's so hard. So in conclusion: I have no idea if the food is good (looked good!) or if it's a good value, etc. But I can say you'll see real tango dancing and music from artists who are obviously respected by their employer... and that is not as common as you'd think down here. ;-)
