A few other milongas that you could try

Name: LA VIRUTA TANGO CLUB
Comment: People go here after attending other milongas. Good to go if you have a group to go with. You will find really good dancers here. They dance mostly with their own group or if they know you/have danced with you in other milongas. Makes sense to go if you have stayed in BA for a while and know people in the milongas. Also, most of the artists/teachers come here to hangout and dance sometimes.
Place: (I) Asociación Armenia, Armenia 1366, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires
Time: Good to go late. After 2AM at least. Goes till 4AM on Wednesday and till 6AM on Friday and Sunday
Entry: Free if you go late. Free from 12:30 AM on Wednesday and 3 AM on Friday and Sunday.
Day: Best to go on Wednesday and Friday
Reservation not applicable, as you will be going late 🙂

Name: VIVA LA PEPA
Comments: Lot of non-Argentinian crowd. Good to meet fellow travellers. Also good for the classes before the milongas. Not a very traditional milonga. Gets over-crowded sometimes. Thus difficult to Cabeceo. 7pm to 8:30pm Beginner/intermediate level class and then 8:30pm to 10pm advanced level tango class.
Place: (J) Villa Malcolm, Villa Crespo, Av Córdoba 5064, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires
Time: From 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM
Entry: 120 pesos. (Class included)
Day: Sunday
Reservation is advised. 15-6761-1899.

Name: LA BALDOSA
Comments: A family milonga. Families come here to spend time, eat and dance a bit. They mostly dance with their family members or other families they know. Difficult floor to dance on. A bit on the outskirts of the city. Not recommended to come back alone in the night.

Time: From 11:00 PM to 4:00 AM
Entry: 130 pesos

Name: SUEÑO PORTEÑO
Comments: Go here to witness some really cute things they do in-between. Like men giving rose to their favourite dancer and asking her to dance in one of the tanda and the same is done by women in another tanda by giving chocolate. Very friendly host. Mostly elderly people to dance with.

Time: From 8:00 PM to 3:00 AM
Entry: 100 pesos
