Resulta que en una planta baja de Barrio Amón hay una cantina donde el vigorón se sirve con pulpo y la sangría, según nos dicen es la mejor del barrio. Se entra por la avenida, hacemos bocas ticas (nuestras tapas)y se toman cócteles de la casa con guaro nacional y muchas cosas más, nos encantan los grupos y las ocaciones especiales, citas románticas recomendadas. Reservá, y viví una cantina distinta.
