We went to Salon Canning. It was nothing fancy, but the people were extremely nice and friendly. It was cool to see the tango culture from both sides -- theatrical and participation.
Jeez, just thinking about it all makes me want to go back ASAP.
(Bear in mind, Salon Canning is a little hard to find -- it isn't well-marked. That was the only milonga we visited. It doesn't pay to get there much before 11 p.m. or so.)
Milongas While you don't have to dance at a milonga why not try. Get there around 9:30 and take a free lesson. The milongas dont really start until 10:30 or 11 but try the lessons and you might like it
Remember that all locations are really different milongas on different nights as there are different organizers and the entire scene can be different.
Added benefit of going to a milonga is that all usually have a performance around 1-2am
Canning is at 1331 Scalabrini Ortiz,,, (recommend Tue or Fri nights)
not much for food,, Wine and drinks and empenadas
