Contramano (Closed Permanently)

Hmmm... Okay

Probably would que at the door to get in

The ambiance is hit-and-run

Oldest Gay bar in Buenos Aires is located one level down from the street.The bar is reminiscent of a US leather. Level one has a dance floor, a bar, and porno movies, level 2 another bar, a small conversation area, and more porno, level 3 has a bathroom, a dark room look alike, and more porno. Difficult to discuss Socrates philosophy when being so distracted.The place caters to a mature crowd, based on the times I visited, to boot with a compliment of hustlers inside, and outside the bar. Opens at 1AM Fridays, Saturdays, and Sunday early. The ambiance is hit-and-run, days with an absolutely great crowd, and music, and days you leave within the hour. When you leave and start walking to the main street, Santa Fe, for a taxi you get propositioned by several escorts, and taxi-boys (fast food escorts). Finding mutually sexually attracted people in Buenos Aires is difficult if not impossible. The city does not lend itself to cavorting. Sex is a business, bought and sold at market price. The guy you just met, and in your hotel room could be your personal stalker. Many criminals impersonate themselves as Gay escorts to prey on unsuspecting visitors. It is critical to know if you are being hit on by someone attracted to you, or an escort. Knowing the difference is critical, since escorts are not only looking to get paid for sex, but you can get assaulted and robbed.
