The inviting, rustic, wooden interior of Portezuelo reminds me of bars I've been to in Northern…read moreCalifornia. I particularly like how the two-tiered interior gives the appearance of a four level venue, with its open atrium view between the upper and lower sections. There's a full bar with a great selection of beers on tap, bottled beer, and all kinds of distilled spirits. There's also a wine cellar with a quite a large selection of wines in the back corner. The patrons and staff I encountered here were friendly and beautiful, while remaining unpretentious. A lovely bartender promptly took my drink order as I walked in and quickly placed a delicious libation in front of me :-)

This place really doesn't stand out from the outside. But, when you walk in to the bar I'm amazed…read moreat the numerous shelves of high end spirits. The menu has many shareable items from starters to entrees. The spirit and wine list is extensive including a draft and battle beer selection I had a house red wine with the Lomo Argentino. The Lomo Argentino was a filet of beef that was cooked perfectly and paired well with the wine. I'll be back again.

I got a burger and an order of empanadas from this place via Uber Eats…read more The deliver was spot-on. FAST! Food arrived quite hot, and early. However the food also left much to be desired. The fries were soggy. The meat had a weird off flavor. I was ok in the morning but it left me wondering what the heck was up with that. And the pattie was like leather with gristle in it. Not pleasant. Same meat was in the empanadas but at least they were still juicy. Not about to try again!

This place has an amazing vibe that reminds me of some of my favorites in Seattle. That being said…read moreit was a bit hard to rate this place as the experience is a bit off the times I went. -The first time I went here it was packed (It tends to be most of the time) but we were seated quickly and helped with the menu fast as well. I noticed that they really do not have many of the beers they have on their menu and they are quick to point out the cheaper standard ones they always have available. This means if you have trouble speaking Spanish you won't really get shown the other beers they have behind the bar, you merely get a "no". But overall I loved the vibe this place gave off and it definitely draws a certain crowd. -The second time I went was to get some reading in on a slow day. It was not crowded and I was shown the menu and once again told "no" to many of the beers I pointed at until they decided to save me time and indicate the cheaper standard ones yet again. I enjoyed what I had and decided to pay the bill. When I paid in cash for my beer the server wandered about for about 10-15 minutes while I waited for my change. I am not sure if he just had better things to do (like sit, talk to other staff, look at his phone, etc) or he figured I had no clue how to count money and was hoping I would just leave and assume that was the cost. I kind of just sat there staring at him during the last 5 minutes to see what he would do until he finally came over and gave me my change. -This last experience put a sour taste in my mouth when combined with the fact they don't really take the time to suggest anything else when their menu is depleted. My best guess is going up to the bar would yield a better result as they seem to have a lot of beer in the case. Even with the language barrier, it would help if they practiced UpSelling to some extent as a foreigner will be more prone to spring at an alternative if the one on the menu is tapped out. - The 2 stars come from the fact that the food is actually good and comes out at a solid pace and based on the vibe I get from this place with the surroundings and the music choice.

The beer is good, but normal and instead of doing a 2 for 1 they give you a "discount" on the beers during happy hour. Its a great space if you have a big group, tons of room inside and outside on the patio out front or all the way in the back. Just not feeling the vibe of Temple, but if you have to go you won't have such a terrible time.

Holy crap! You are…read morenot going to believe this place! Cool, always packed, great beers. What's left? IMHO the best corner in Palermo SOHO. Beer was server impeccably in cool classes, wait staff is great and bar tenders are very nice. One thing: you go inside to pay and pick up your brew....ok, I'm solo. Guess what? Yes, every trip for a beer necessitates a search for a new seat! Only complaint, you won't be disappointed. Come enjoy a temple.
