Los Galgos on Avenida Callao originally opened in 1930 as a general store/almacen. The historic corner was originally the home of the Lezama family and then a Singer sewing location.

Two porcelain greyhound statues give the cafe its name but this elegant bar notable is rich with details – like the bronze taps in the shape of swans.

Like many historic Buenos Aires cafes on this list, it closed its doors and was re-opened with new vigor.

Julian Diaz and Flor Capella, the duo behind successful cocktail bar 878, brought new life into Los Galgos with original materials and passion for its history.

This is a great bar notable to head to for lunch (the traditional menu is excellent thanks to its new owners) or evening drinks.
