Overo, a bar with a private wine club in the heart of Palermo

At a time when the came takes more and more prominence in Argentinabeing National Beveragewith creative people who dream and have committed to their projects and giving work to many people; Overo It is one of the best options that was born in the neighborhood of Palermo Viejo with the intention of being cocktail bar and a private wine club which already has more than 450 members. A meeting place for wine-loving parishionersand also from those who want to approach him for the first time.

“We opened the doors of Overo in November 2020. In white gear, to be honest, almost in silence so that our team and we adapt to a new way of working. Today it is beginning to be named not only for the labels we work with but also for its gastronomic offerwhich accompanies, with our corners on the different floors and with a great capacity to receive those who want to live the experience,” he comments Pol Lykan and adds that “Daniel, my partner, we have known each other for a long time, we are neighbors, he was one of the first customers of Freud & Fahler, when we were on Gurruchaga Street. Furthermore, our families are friends. What’s more, I remember her first child in the baby stroller. It’s been almost three years since our first meeting. We started from an idea that had been swirling in my head for a while, something that I imagined in my transits through the neighborhood when I went to the restaurant after leaving to my daughter at school. It was a fantasy, a dream, something more. And in that meeting where we discussed the concept of a place we felt that it was possible. We liked it. We thought about it, we thought about it again and we still liked it. There we understood that there was the possibility of being able to do it. And we came to the conclusion that there is nothing like it in Argentina and? There is a lack of meeting spaces, friendly, comfortable places, where you feel welcome.that you can have a dialogue without the music interrupting you, be part of spaces where you are free without questioning, that you can move through them and live them.”

Daniel Riguerasanother of the founders, for his part, comments that “I have always been a lover of wine, of good food, and I have never found a place like Overo where you can live them with the people you love. So it was that Pol and I decided to embark on this project with the intention of being able to live it and share it with others. Overo cocktail bar is a wine bar and its difference as a club, compared to many other wine clubs that exist in the country, is that we have spaces designed especially so that members can meet and enjoy wine. Wine invites you to infinite situations, to live, to moments, to memories, to reunion, to union, to family, to meet friends, to be accompanied by good music, or with a view, to a chat, to a friend, to those who listen to us or we listen to, and it is always better to have a drink, a meal, a few portions that end up being part of the magic that is generated. Overo’s purpose is clear, It is a place for the industry, where we respect what is not seen. The purpose is to share a spacethat you make it your own, that you feel that it is your home.”

WE CONTINUE CLIMBING

The meals, the celebration, the talks, the classes and the tastings, both in person and virtual, or the corporate meetings take place in the Overo cellar or “Sala Criolla” on the 2nd floor, which has a large timbó wooden counter. 5 meters and receives 16 people always well surrounded by 1000 bottles of Argentine wine.

AND ARRIVING

The terrace on the top floor. A place treasured by the Overo team and by those who were there at some point; simple and comfortable to enjoy the sunset. Full of chlorophyll, the green of Plaza Armenia. It is characterized by the possibility of contemplating the different nuances and colors that Buenos Aires afternoons offer, and that at the same time help its visitors to escape from everyday life, to stop thinking and enjoy a moment of peace.

The common denominator of Overo is the setting and the art that exists throughout the location, which was entrusted to the artist “Mono” Grinbaum with an almost completely analogue work, including a 5 x 3 M mural collage, xerox, paste -up & stencils in showcase to make your art a real course for craft-lovers.

THINKING MORE

Overo, in addition to being a bar, has a B side; a private wine club, which anyone can access, whether or not they know about wine. The monthly membership has 2 variants through which the member receives 1 box per month with 3 or 6 bottles of different labels professionally and honestly curated by their team of Sommeliers and at no additional delivery cost. “The club was born with a unique concept in the country. Already in the month of opening, more than 50 members joined, the close ones, friends who were looking for what we were looking for. Today there are more of us every day, in 2022 we will reach 450. We have held more than 50 in-person events, so that they can get to know the bar and get to know each other and to which they were invited with a companion. In addition, we have been doing several talks with winemakers, tastings and remote tastings. Membership to be part of the Club is another differential since its cost is the equivalent of the price of wines in any wine store,” says Daniel Rigueras, and adds “we also add as an added value for Club members to have the possibility of reserving any of the 3 rooms once a month for your exclusive use and also the ground floor, the bar and the terrace, with public access, a 10% discount on all your consumption at Overo (wines, portions and on the Overo objects), and in shipping and take-away. Added to the benefits are invitations to wine talks, tastings, tastings and cinema screenings. The idea is to continue adding more value for partners, we have great ideas.”

LABELS WITH LAND GASTRONOMY

The variety of types of wines from the different regions of the country, from Chubut to Salta, make Overo’s menu an endless novel, a journey with a route that can be paired with portions impregnated with our own flavors, both ours and with the tour of what Pol Lykan and his discerning and experienced kitchen team experienced.

Those who visit Overo cocktail bar will be able to choose between portions based on local products, cheeses from small producers and a very careful charcuterie that accompanies the menu. The clay oven, the basis of local flavor, makes a fundamental contribution in the preparation of breads, portions and desserts that are baked using different firewood where each one provides its own perfume.

THINKING MORE

Something to highlight about their service is that ultra-purified water with and without gas is offered to the visitor free of charge and throughout their stay with the intention of keeping them well hydrated. And for those who don’t drink wine, they created non-alcoholic Aguas Overo, made with reductions of red and white wine with fruits, citrus and a few other secrets.

TAKING WITH SCIENCE

With the idea of ​​being a sustainable company from its conception and with the objective of following the steps to be certified as a B company, Overo marks the chosen course by having purified and mineralized water on site, provided in reusable glass bottles. The use of biodegradable tableware and cutlery seeks to minimize plastic consumption and maximize recycling. At Overo we also minimize paper printing; creating a virtual letter and generating electronic billing, in addition to several other actions that will be incorporated over time.

In the cold season, our gallery and outdoor terrace have Brago brand sustainable heating, powered by sawdust pellets, an ecological fuel since trees do not need to be cut down because waste is used in sawmills and carpentry shops. It does not pollute, since it is C02 neutral biomass, which helps avoid the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and since it is 100% natural, it is not dangerous or produces bad odors. For the purpose of being aware; Thinking about the future, about our children and because of the value of the encounter, Overo cocktail bar and private wine club was born.
