Avenida Arístides Villanueva
Avenida Arístides
Mendoza's liveliest street for bars and dining, where outdoor seating under the plane trees fills from the evening until late at night. It is a place to experience local nightlife.
Avenida Arístides Villanueva (known locally as “Arístides”) runs west of the city centre towards San Martín Park. About ten blocks are lined with bars, craft beer houses, barbecue restaurants, ice cream shops and small taverns, with outdoor seating spilling onto the pavements. Argentines eat dinner late, so the street only really comes alive after 21:00, and on weekends people stay out until dawn. Order a glass of Mendoza Malbec or a local craft beer with Argentine grilled meat. It is busy in the evening, so keep an eye on your belongings, and a taxi back to your hotel is safer.
