It's in a white house with a blue baseboard in San Antonio, a block from the chapel. Inside there are shelves of bottles, old furniture and low light; outside, tables on the terrace. It's called a tertuliadero because the idea is to sit and talk.
According to reviews, it's one of the cheap spots in the area: beer, cocktails, empanadas and aborrajados. Many people use it to start the night before going dancing, and the crowd is both locals and visitors.
It reopened after the August 10, 2026 earthquake: on August 22 it posted on Instagram about reuniting with its customers.
