Our Story
Buenos Aires Has a Dark Side.
We chose the light.
Every great cocktail bar in Buenos Aires tells you to go underground — into the dark, into the vault, into the speakeasy. They wear their shadows like a uniform. We love those bars. But we wanted to build something different.
Raíz was born from a question: what if a cocktail bar in Argentina looked like Argentina? Wheat fields at noon, afternoon light through vineyard leaves in Mendoza, the warm clay of a Salta pottery studio, yerba mate steam curling up from a gourd on a wooden table.
We opened in Chacarita — a neighbourhood finally allowed to become itself — and built a space that breathes. Every drink on our menu traces a direct line back to a place, a producer, an ingredient grown in Argentine soil.
