"Many people say that New York is the city that never sleeps. Believe me, there's another city at the end of the world that never sleeps... and it's Buenos Aires," says the great Robert De Niro in the Argentine series "Nada". And this is something that the locals constantly confirm when they sit down to dinner at a restaurant past 11:30 p.m. or enjoy a cocktail at a bar that just opens after midnight.

And hand in hand with the great nightlife of the city, there's a detail that can't be overlooked: the happy hours. That time when all drinks are discounted or can be enjoyed in a 2x1 offer. So, if you're eager to enjoy the nightlife of Buenos Aires while also wanting to save some money, jot down our selection of the 15 best happy hours in Buenos Aires.
