Why Q'Paso Ayer
Q'Paso Ayer isn't just another bar — it's a meeting point right on Calle Uruguay. Casual shareable food (wings, burgers, nachos), games like beer pong and darts, well-poured drinks and a different lineup every night, Wednesday to Saturday. Every night has a reason, so there's always a vibe.
Cocktails, beer and happy hour
House cocktails — mojito, margarita, whisky sour and the signature Q'Paso Ayer — plus cold beers and shots for the table. Come early for the relaxed happy-hour vibe before the music turns up.
