- STORY BY TERRY ZARIKIAN

A CELEBRATED ARGENTINE lounge founded in 2017 in a restored mansion in Buenos Aires' Recoleta neighborhood has made its way to Miami's Wynwood, marking the first North American location of Presidente Bar. "It's an honor to open Presidente in Miami," says Sebastian García, cofounder and creative director of Presidente Bar. "The city's energy reminds me of Buenos Aires—bold, inventive and full of soul."
