Crystal Bar, Rooftop bar and terrace on the 32nd floor in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Crystal Bar is a rooftop bar and terrace on the 32nd floor in Puerto Madero with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame views of the Buenos Aires skyline, the Río de la Plata, and the Uruguayan coast on clear days. The space flows across multiple levels with areas for both seated and standing guests.
The venue opened in September 2017 inside the Alvear Icon Hotel and quickly became the highest rooftop bar in the city. Its opening marked a turning point in how the port district developed its nightlife scene.
The bar features creative cocktails made with housemade syrups and local ingredients that reflect modern drink-making trends in Buenos Aires. You can watch bartenders craft both traditional and inventive recipes at the counter.
The bar operates Tuesday through Saturday starting at 6:00 PM and requires advance reservations to visit. There is a minimum consumption requirement on the glazed terrace area, and smart casual dress is expected.
Visitors can see the Uruguayan coastline across the wide river on clear days, a view made possible by the elevation and the clarity of light over the water. This sight reminds you of how vast the estuary truly is.
