Desarmadero Bar/SessionB-Worth Trying
Gorriti 4295, C1414 Cdad. Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina
· Brewpub
· 4.6/5 Google (19609 reviews)
Reservations · Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating
A lively Palermo brewpub with lots of taps, standout empanadas and burgers, energetic rock vibes, but inconsistent service and serious gluten-handling complaints to consider.
Why it gets a B- for overall quality
Desarmadero Bar/Session delivers solid casual dining with strong food quality anchored by standout ossobuco empanadas and reliable burgers, plus an impressive craft beer program that draws the Palermo crowd. However, documented food safety concerns including multiple gluten cross-contamination reports and inconsistent service execution during peak hours prevent a higher grade. The appealing corner terrace and neighborhood ambiance make it a worthwhile stop for beer lovers, but celiac diners and those seeking reliability should approach cautiously.
Restaurant Summary
Palermo nights meet craft taps here, with a playlist that keeps things lively and fun. Reviewers praise friendly servers who can make you feel like a regular in minutes, though some visits report host stand hiccups and slow attention when the terrace is slammed. "Perfect spot to catch your breath over an IPA" sums up the laid-back mood. In the kitchen, it is comfort-first bar food done well: ossobuco empanadas are the crowd favorite, burgers deliver for the price, and sides keep the table snacking. The approach is classic brewpub with a few Argentine twists rather than edgy fusion, so it suits beer lovers and groups who want hearty plates without pretense. For families, the menu has kid-friendly anchors like nuggets and fries, simple burgers, and chipacitos. The room can be loud and the terrace cramped at peak times, so earlier visits work better with little ones. Celiac diners should proceed cautiously: despite gluten-free labels, several reviews report cross-contact issues.
