Trade Sky Bar

"This is a very stylish rooftop bar. People really dress up here. I tell you this so you don't feel underdressed and underprepared. You won't be let in with activewear. The views are stunning. Especially when the sun sets behind the Obelisco in the distance. But expect to queue to take photos because so many people want to capture that perfect Instagram moment. You absolutely need to have reservations, and don't be late to them! The threshold before they cancel your reservation is 15 minutes. But even if you're a few minutes late, you will may lose your chance at a good table. Therefore, I strongly suggest arriving exactly at your reservation time. There is usually a short line at the entrance to the building where you will get checked in. Making reservations is very easy: https://trade-sky-bar.meitre.com/ You'll see two reservation times: After and Dinner. After means 'after office,' so the hours are from 6-8pm. Dinner reservations begin at 8pm and go later. You need to leave a credit card for the reservation, but they will not charge you unless you do not show up. In the center of the rooftop there is a platform with about 8 small tables for reservations of 2 people. It gets a bit chilly up here once the sun goes down. Around the perimeter of the rooftop are tables for larger groups. Try to make your reservation a few days in advance, more if its a busy tourist season (January/February). When you enter the building, there is a woman who will ask for the name of the reservation. If you're right one time, she will probably be outside as the line forms. She will then lead you to the elevators and send you up to the 19th floor. There you will be greeted by another woman who asks the name for the reservation and sends you up the stairs to the 21st floor. Once you enter the rooftop, the hostess will again ask for the reservation name and lead you to your seat. The restaurant is on the pricier side, as it's a 'cheto' bar with 'cheto' prices. They do charge a 300 peso/person 'cubierto' fee. The food is very delicious though. We made a reservation for a Friday night at 6:30. The sunset was amazing. We ordered: Ceviche aperol spritz x 2 Negroni We paid about 7000 pesos. Another time I went we ordered: Glass of Malbec Orange Juice French Fries with Alioli sauce Stracciatella with tomatoes Thai Mushrooms on a satay stick Vegan Sushi A Pear dessert The total was 17,050 pesos (in October 2022) All the food I've had here is absolutely delicious.

"A more modern approach to a rooftop bar, Trade offers striking vistas of the surrounding neighborhoods and the city skyline. An early evening drink on the terrace is the perfect opportunity to enjoy sunset and mingle with friends. "
