Gate A-side pints beat the food court crush at EZE
Antares sits airside in Terminal A, a short walk from the main food court, and runs as a casual craft beer bar first, food stop second. Expect several Antares taps pouring IPAs and local Argentine styles, with most pints landing in the mid-$$ range compared with city branches. The space feels calmer than the central seating zone, so it works well if you just want one last local beer before an overnight long-haul.
Menu is straightforward: think fries, burgers, and other basic pub snacks to go with your drink. Reviews consistently call the food “average bar fare,” so treat the burger and fries as something to keep you going, not a destination meal. If you’re hungry and want a proper sit-down dinner at EZE, you’re usually better off eating in the main food court first and then coming here for a final pint before heading to your A-gate.
Beer selection is the real draw. Regulars mention checking the tap list for seasonal brews, alongside core Antares options like IPAs that show up in several Google reviews. Prices run higher than Antares locations in Palermo or Bariloche, and a few reviewers grumble that a single pint here can feel like two neighborhood beers. You’re paying airport markup plus the convenience of drinking inside security in Terminal A.
Watch out for slow service at peak times: multiple reviews mention flagging staff more than once just to get a second round or the check. Build in an extra 15–20 minutes if you plan to sit down, especially in the evening bank of flights after 18:00. Many flyers just order one pint at the bar, skip food, and then walk the 3–5 minutes back to most A-gates.
Tip: if you care about trying something local, ask the bartender which Antares tap is seasonal that week before defaulting to the standard IPA.
