Directed firmly towards the Sacred Rock, the beloved Buena Vista Social Bar for every hour of the day is laid-back, exotic and bold, with solid foundations in the bar and kitchen.
As you turn left from Ermou to walk along Agiou Philipppou, you pause for a moment, jaw slightly dropped, at the wow effect of its entrance, as you literally step into another world. A world of staged creativity, technicolor, with a charming semi-light that exudes a mysterious, sensual aura.
At this point, you’ve already realized that we’re talking about something extraordinary. A few steps further up, another universe unfolds before your eyes: Spectacular, iconic, relaxed, with an elevated mood and up-tempo music that entices you to get up from your table and dance, the Buena Vista Social Bar is the epitome of an all-day venue, offering you reasons to explore its vibes, day and night.
Mornings mirror its calm and sweet personality: specialty coffees from selected blends and delicious comfort food and brunch, inspired by Latin America. Its evenings on the other hand, are a matter of signature cocktails, with a list that adores tequila and rum, utilized in various sophisticated combinations, with ideas and colors that awaken the holiday vibes within you.
A very intriguing choice is the ‘Puta Madre,’ featuring super-premium Altos Plata: It combines the bold character of tequila with blue agave, soaring with pineapple puree and forest fruits, with a spicy aftertaste from an exceptional homemade chili syrup. The ‘Buena Siesta’ is another cocktail you must try. It’s a robust and pleasantly sour glass, with Altos Reposado and a nice balance of yuzu and watermelon puree, finished with freshly squeezed lemongrass.
Among the highballs of the food menu, you’ll find delightful tacos, like the ‘Libre’ with slow-cooked beef, crispy onions, and chimichurri or the ‘Fidel’ with grilled prawns infused with a blend of spices, homemade carrot pickle, slices of fresh avocado, and mango mayo sauce. Out-of-the-box proposals that encourage carefree nibbling (and many sighs of pleasure).
Out of the many terraces out there, how many can claim that climbing them will take you on a ‘journey’?
