It’s not even a particularly fun ambiance anymore. And that […]

Patrick, I don’t intend to insult you, your family of employees, or anyone else, I’m simply relating my experience, and there’s no reason to get upset about it – I know you work hard, I respect that, I send people to Casa Bar all the time because it’s a great place. I go myself roughly once every 6-8 weeks, often with friends, for a hit of the wings, and we’ve also tried the burgers, the nachos, and the pizza. And I do know that every time I go in, I ask if you’re around, and more often than not get told “he’s upstairs” and I don’t see you for the time I’m there. We don’t hang out for long periods of time, usually just eat and then head out again, so maybe we’re just catching things at a time when you’re getting some paperwork done or whatever, and if we stayed around watching a game or drinking I’d see you. I do think your wings are great and the best in the city (how many times do you need to hear that to get it – keep in mind that the review above was written three years ago in the middle of trying out all the places that offered up wings all over the city – I’ve since compared other places to yours and you always come out on top) – you’re listed at number one on our ranking page.

But I’ll stand by that with the exception of the times when I’ve actually seen you there and you’ve said hello, before receiving my food, which has been maybe, what, 6 or 7 times over these three years out of the 20+ times I’ve been? – the wing plate comes out looking like the photo above. You even make a point in your first comment in this thread that you were “appalled at the presentation” – your words, not mine – the only times it’s come out the way you describe it in that first comment has been when I’ve seen you. Personally I don’t find it appalling and never did, they’re delicious, my only criticism in that original review, or at any other time, was the upcharge for additional dressing (I’m talking about the blue cheese or ranch, not the hot sauce) when there wasn’t a lot of it to begin with – something you agreed with in that same comment! I’m sure that it’s enough for many people, and sure, maybe you throw a good amount away, but for the few people like me who want a little more ranch or blue, it’s off-putting for a waitress to say “I have to charge you for that” when asked for a little more dressing. That’s all, no other criticism of either service or quality. Be happy, you do a great job and we’ll continue to come and enjoy the best, and I’ll continue to send people to your door!

I have spent every single day and night in this building for five years with the exception of being one night that I went to Uruguay. This bat is open I am here. I am the first person to let people in the building and always I walk all my staff ( They are My only family here in Argentina ) out at the end of the night to insure they return home safely. Where else have you ever seen this? No where!

My girls in the kitchen have been with me since I opened. Where else in Buenos Aires is this so? They are the best period! You are talking out of your ass and insulting my family. I do not give a Hooter about wings and that we do what Hooters and Fridays and all the “expat” start-ups want to do or could not do just makes this entire article more amusing. The CasaBar has the best wings in the city for 5 years running and if that stops manana then we will just have to survive on our unbeatable record. We have many!

Its a bar dude! Try our nachos. They are the bomb!

i AM ALWAYS HERE UNFORTNATELY.

And when you started making your own sauce they just got better. Repeated experience though does suggest that what shows up on the plate when you’re around, in the bar and keeping an eye on things is different from what shows up when you’re not. You’ve seen the photo above, it’s what started this conversation – and when you’re not around, that’s what your kitchen sends out, and the waitresses rarely, if ever, ask about seasonings or the whole ranch/blue question, and requests for anything additional and we get told they’ll be added to the tab as extra charges. Doesn’t make them any less good, but not what you say you want them to be serving/doing.
