"You might think you're in the wrong place when you arrive at the door of La Catedral in Almagro, but look for the sign that says tango and head up the stairs. From there, you'll enter the high-ceilinged warehouse, which used to be a dairy factory and now functions as an alternative tango dancehall. Bohemian tapestries, old guitars, vintage posters, Argentine flags, and tea lights cover the walls, making it look more like an antique shop than a milonga."
"This historic cafe and haunt of legendary tango singer Carlos Gardel opens its secret backroom drapes every night and transforms into a grand ballroom tangueria. "Of the many tango shows in Buenos Aires, Cafe de los Angelitos rises above the rest, TangoNightsBA, a travel agency that specializes in tango shows, explains. The refurbished cafe and theater managed to preserve the traditional feel of the tango golden age and their show reflects the same."
La Catedral sits behind an unassuming door in Almagro; a sign marked tango leads up to a high-ceilinged warehouse that once housed a dairy factory. The venue operates as an alternative tango dancehall decorated with tapestries, guitars, vintage posters, Argentine flags, and tea lights. Two nightly tango classes (8:00 and 10:30 p.m.), a milonga, live-band events, and a kitchen and bar are available. The menu includes vegetarian pizzas and empanadas, drawing a relaxed bohemian crowd of twenty- and thirty-somethings, tourists, and locals. Cafe de los Angelitos is a historic cafe tied to Carlos Gardel that opens a secret backroom into a grand ballroom. A high-production, traditional tango show features twenty-one dancers, runs about 1.5 hours, and can be attended without dinner.
