If you prefer contemporary and experimental jazz tunes, head for Thelonious, a popular spot that's hidden from public view. After going through its black iron door and climbing the dark stairs, you'll enter a brick warehouse filled with low tables and leather sofas. The funky wire chandelier hanging over the stage has hundreds of light bulbs. Mixed drinks, wine, pizzas and cheese plates are offered, as well as jazz nightly.
Thelonious is a proper dark jazz club, with a shot of understated elegance and plenty of vibes. Makeno mistake: this place is cool. Like a sax-playing wolf in sheep’s clothing it lurks on the second floor of an inconspicuous building in PalermoViejo. Once inside there’s no doubting the hip-cat credentials, though. The long black bar that lines half the rectangular space is punctuatedwith illuminated glass tiles. All the walls are matt black and decorated only with huge arty light installations; all in black, of course. The chill outarea’s so dark you just know it’s got to be good, and the stage is lit by a fancy and faint chandelier that looks like a cluster of melted, half-spentbulbs. High windows open up to a narrow balcony and admit the faint glow of the street lamps outside. As if all that wasn’t cool enough, youeven have to ring a door bell to get in. It’s just got that jazz, man!
And not just in mood and style. The music’s pretty hot too. Thelonious hosts gigs severaldays a week, featuring an eclectic mix of jazz, funk, and Afro-Latin rhythms. Tickets vary between $8AR and $15AR. It usually gets prettycrowded and as the night gets busy and the band hots up there are few better places in Buenos Aires to pass the night. The sleek bar isstocked with an abundance of booze, and the bar tenders stand by to mix up a very extensive choice of drinks.
