Antares

I found a new bar to park my rear at.  Antares is a bar that shares its name with the brewery it’s associated with.  The place reminds me of an airplane hangar, it’s a really long building with really high ceilings.  The bar’s sparsely lit and has plenty of booths, it’s a good place for a rendezvous with a femalien friend.  The real star here is the beer though, and my friend Alana and I opted for sampler to start.  We both agreed that the Imperial Stout and the Cream Stout were the real stars.  They’re a welcome respite from Quilmes, which is pretty much the equivalent of Busch Light.  It’s nice to try some microbrews after being spoiled back home.

They had a band come a bit later in the night that was cool, heck they even covered Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls.”  A band after my heart.  They also covered Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” and a Radiohead song I’m blanking on right now.  It made for a real fun night, especially with their 2×1 happy hour special they have every day.

Speaking of food, I interviewed for the touring job on Tuesday and I think it went really well.  I should hear back from Kirsty tomorrow, so here’s hoping!  I’d be leading small groups of tourists on dining tours around Recoleta.  It would be my ideal job down here.  Wish me luck!

Oh, and did I mention Antares also serves legit bacon cheese fries!?  And that it’s less than 10 minutes from my apartment?  That could prove dangerous.
