Fresco Bar - El Chaltén

The place was consistently packed so we had to check it. When we went to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, we played and then Audioslave... expect this music. It reminded me of bars back in the Portland/Seattle region. Amazing burgers and decent beer. Happy Hour (before 8) is 600 pesos! The beer reminded me of drinking Budweiser or Miller Lite. The Burgers and Fritten (3,000 Pesos) were amazing. The fries lubricated as if they were freshly cut! You have to order at the counter and the food is delivered to your table.

Such a great, happy, lively place! Happy hour is particularly flowering and what amazing value craft beers for 600 pesos! Burger was deliciously perfect with frits for 2500 cooked! Blackboard menu many choice for Veggies also. Very recommended.

Low rating pure up to the rude bar staff we met. I'm not sure it was a free day, but still... don't take it to your customers. We asked for beer during the happy hour to just say that they were sold out and we had to get something else. When we found a beer in stock, they didn't say that happy hour only for the same 2 beers and not different...que plenty of huffing and anger from the apathetic man who serves us. When I asked about a white wine, I was very sarcastically said that we do not serve vino blanco because nobody in Argentina knows wine. Okay, buddy... why not specify on your menu that you only serve red wine. Also funny as I managed to get a white wine in another El Chalten bar only 2 nights before, but there we go. The barman has put me away from a left side without drinking; I will not pay to be somewhere where the contempt for tourists (which basically finance bars in El Chalten) is so obvious. Take another place.

I went here on Tuesday night at 6:00 and it was closed. I believe it is closed for the season and opening hours must be updated

Stopped her for a nightcap and was impressed. Good selection of craft beers on tap and a friendly, English speaking bartender. Prices were reasonable. Most of the customers were locals who were very friendly.
