La Trastienda Club, Concert venue in Montserrat district, Buenos Aires, Argentina
La Trastienda Club is a two-level venue located at Balcarce 460 in the Montserrat district, presenting various music genres. The space accommodates roughly 400 seated guests and around 1000 additional standing visitors, with a main stage for live performances.
La Trastienda first opened in September 1979 at the corner of Thames and Gorriti in Palermo Viejo, during the military dictatorship. It closed in 1984 as the venue had grown too small and artistic activity moved elsewhere after democracy returned. A group of entrepreneurs including Jorge Telerman revived the project, and it reopened on 30 December 1993 at Balcarce 460 in San Telmo, in a space that had long housed a general store.
The venue represents the living music scene of Buenos Aires, hosting performances from jazz to funk, rock, and world music. Artists from Argentina and around the globe perform here, shaping the city's local cultural life.
The venue is at Balcarce 460 in Montserrat, within walking distance of both the downtown core and San Telmo. The hall seats about 400 and admits roughly 1,000 more standing, and the upper floor has livings for groups of eight. Arrive early, since the layout changes with each show.
