The Baar Fun Fun, named a Cultural Heritage of the city, has been declared
of Tourist Interest by the Municipality of Montevideo and of Cultural Interest by the Ministry of Education and Culture, in recognition of its historical and cultural value,
and its living contribution to Montevideo's identity.
Key figures of the Buenos Aires tango scene have passed through its tables and historic counter.
of the tango of the Río de la Plata. Among them, Carlos Gardel, who visited the bar
during his stay in Montevideo, tried the traditional Uvita and, according to
the story goes, even sang informally for those present. That anecdote is now a living part of the identity
and the mystique of Fun Fun.
The experience begins with a tango class, led by professional dancers, who will clearly and enjoyably teach you the basic steps and essential movements of this traditional dance. No prior experience is needed, as the class is designed for beginners and curious folks who want to learn and have fun.
At the end of the class, you'll enjoy a glass of Uvita, the traditional drink
of the house (or soft drink), accompanied by a typical snack. Then, you can
stay at the bar to experience its unique atmosphere and watch the live
without paying for the show.
An authentic, cultural, and close-up experience to live tango from
the inside, in a place where history, music, and tradition still
beat every night.
