The best bars and cafés Asunción & Area

First, one might think that this establishment bears the name of a famous European beer mark, but it is simply called The Bar. Its large terrace is its main attraction and fills in early this week. A card is original in the form of a newspaper with small articles about the origin of cocktails, for example, and a mini-portrait of Hemigway Great amateur of Daiquirí.

One of the few Internet cafes open on Sunday. The hotel is very close to the hotel.

The term Manzana is used in the colonial urban planning model, so common in Latin America, to refer to a block of houses. Manzana T is a group of popular bars, ice-cream parlours, restaurants, shops, gyms, etc., in the heart of Villa Mora, a stone's throw from the Villa Mora and Mariscal shopping centres. Fashion shows and concerts are organised from time to time. La Manzana T also has a casino, banks and even its own ice cube factory, to supply consumers quickly!

A fairly trendy bar-club in the historic centre, with a decor inspired by the 1920s and above all a terrace that offers a beautiful view of the Palacio de los López (Presidential Palace). A pleasant place to start the evening, with fresh beers and sophisticated cocktails, which can be accompanied by picadas, plates of cold meats, or burgers. Reasonable prices for the setting. The music is good and not too loud, and the atmosphere is either quiet or con más onda, depending on the evening and the band or DJ invited.

A pleasant little café-restaurant in the center of town. In a simple, warm setting, decorated with regularly changing works of art, you can come and drink a quality coffee in a variety of forms (espresso, long, cappuccino, etc.), or tea, accompanied by a pastry. Sandwiches, craft beer and cocktails are also available. All homemade, with fresh produce. Portions not huge, but good value for money. Quiet, young and international atmosphere, with friendly service.

In the heart of the picturesque Loma San Jerónimo district, at the highest point of the hill, the Ko'ape is a colourful bar and restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Its terrace offers a nice view of the bay. A treat at sunset, when the breeze blows in summer, with a cold beer or a cocktail. A menu with simple dishes (burgers, pizzas, picadas, mbejú, etc.) well prepared, but one goes up here especially for a drink or to attend concerts or other cultural events that take place in the evening.

Already present in Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Miami, and soon in Tulum and Barcelona, Negroni, a bar-bistro chain with an Italian-New York style, has arrived in Asunción in force, taking over two rooftops. One is on the top floor of the Hotel Dazzler, in the modern center. The other is in the historic center, above Unicentro. Here, the panoramic view from the ^15th (restaurant) and, above all, the ^16th floor (bar-terrace) is pretty cool, especially at sunset, the ideal moment to try the famous Negroni cocktail!

This rooftop is located on top of Tower 2 of the World Trade Center. It offers one of the best views in Asunción. An exclusive and sophisticated place, with prices to match. Three atmospheres: the Afro-Paraguayan fusion restaurant, the lounge and the terrace, where you can eat or have a drink. Shows and DJ evenings attract the capital's celebrities and golden youth. Try to get there at sunset, to enjoy the exceptional view, with a tasty cocktail.

This semi-open space is home to some great bars and restaurants, attracting a rather young and affluent clientele. Among the best-known establishments: Bellini (Italian restaurant), Capitão (churrasquería and sports bar), Sushi Club (Japanese), Yaya Gourmet (tapas bar), Kilkenny (Irish pub), Cover Singing Bar (karaoke bar), or Kamastro (artistic bar-resto). In the adjacent streets, you'll also find a host of chic cafés, restaurants and boutiques. The area is often congested, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings.
