Buenos Aires, Argentina
Victor Audio Bar is Buenos Aires’s first dedicated listening bar, a collaboration between the award-winning Tres Monos bar team and the Niño Gordo culinary group. Located in Palermo Soho, the bar is a love letter to the ‘golden age’ of analog sound, specifically the legacy of the Victor Talking Machine Company and RCA Victor. The interior is a beautifully realized mid-century space, complete with warm wood and low lighting that invites guests to linger over their drinks and the music.
The cocktail program is built around the Martini, with various historical and modern iterations that complement the sophisticated audio environment. A unique feature is the jukebox equipped with high-end headphones, allowing guests to have a private listening experience within the social setting. Victor is a bridge between the classic Japanese kissa and the vibrant cocktail culture of Argentina, offering a refined and deeply nostalgic sonic escape.
