The dinner and show were absolutely fantastic! The food was incredible — full of flavor, beautifully presented, and paired with excellent wine. The service felt very personalized from beginning to end, and the restaurant itself is stunning and elegant. After dinner, the show was an unforgettable experience and truly a must while visiting Buenos Aires. The dancers and musicians were amazing, performing to some of the most famous tango songs with so much passion and talent. The entire staff provided outstanding service throughout the evening and made us feel very welcomed. This was easily one of the highlights of my trip and an experience I will always remember. Every part of the evening was worth it, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Buenos Aires!

The quality of the live band and the dancers exceeded my expectations. I felt like I was in a 1970s bar listening to the artists of the time. I was transported to another era. The show’s lineup, featuring group and partner dances, along with the inclusion of malambo, was truly thrilling. Hugo Marcel’s performance was the icing on the cake.

We really enjoyed the show. In addition to the tango dancers, there was also a malambo dancer, a female singer, a male singer, and some great musicians. The ticket included water and a glass of wine. (Because of the long wait, they brought us a second glass of wine). We booked the show without a meal. The ticket said 9:00 PM and that we absolutely had to be there 15 minutes early. When we arrived on time, it was still closed, and we were ushered out rather gruffly. The show was supposed to start at 9:45 PM, but it actually didn’t start until around 10:15 PM.

Enjoy a sultry cabaret-style tango show with seasoned dancers and a live orchestral quintet at El Viejo Almacén, Buenos Aires’ oldest and stylish tango club with 50+ years of history!

Expect vintage staging, ornate costumes, folk-tango fusions, and some on-stage rope-twirling that adds a playful twist to this intimate performance.

Indulge in Buenos Aires’ most traditional tango show at El Viejo Almacén in San Telmo—a 1900s-style tango club and dinner venue (it even made it onto a stamp!).

Make your evening extra special as you upgrade to a gourmet 3-course Argentine dinner with the best Malbec in the region.

Fun Fact: El Viejo Almacén was almost demolished in 1977, saved thanks in part to Ernesto Sabato’s advocacy.

What to expect

El Viejo Almacén offers one of Buenos Aires' most traditional tango experiences, celebrating the music and dance in the neighborhood where much of tango's history unfolded. The performance combines the elegance of classic salon tango with the energy of stage tango, accompanied by a live quintet orchestra, acclaimed vocalists, and accomplished dancers. Every act showcases the emotion, precision, and storytelling that define Argentine tango, while the intimate theater brings you remarkably close to the performers. Depending on your ticket, you can complement the evening with a gourmet three-course Argentine dinner and beverages before the show, round-trip hotel transfers from downtown Buenos Aires, or preferential VIP seating.
