Britannia Pub
A place I definitely love is Britannia Pub in Asuncion (Address: Cerro Corá 851, Asunción, Paraguay), when I’m in Asuncion I use to go there very often.
It is the only place I really like actually, because there you can go dressed like you want, no body cares, it is not a fancy place with hiper fancy people, its my favorite night place in the world as I use to joke, well I guess I mean it.
I was just talking to my friend Javier that now lives in Buenos Aires and he told me how much he misses Brit as we use to call it, and so do I, specially Sunday’s night.
The ambiance is like an Irish pub, it is a big place but not huge, it has an indoor space (which is my favorite) and has 2 outdoor spaces, one on the back and the new space is a terrace which is pretty new, where sometimes they have dance parties, but just for special occasions (like saint Patrick day or similar)
In the indoor part you will find a wood bar with several stools, a great variety of all kind of liquors, nice warm wooden decoration, maps, sayings, and posters on the walls, there is a non smoking are inside, at the bar you can sit and order a beer or whatever you like, and the food is ABSOLUTELY delicious, prices are cheap, very fair, people are respectful. the bar tenders are your friends, so nice, fast, they know you by name after some time, that is hilarious, that just happens in Brit…,
Tons of English speaking people you will find there, expats, foreign people from different countries go there, it is like a community, you find the same people everyday and their faces become so known even if you don’t know them, you will eventually meet again and probably talk at some point.
Teens are not allowed there, the age range is from 25 and up, you will even find 60+ old people but mostly are around their 30’s.
Britannia Pub has a great music selection…but what I most love about that place is that even if you go by yourself you can find known people and join them on their tables, people are friendly and it’s a group reunion kind of place, not much a couples kind of place.
You go there, with friends, by yourself and always have fun, and you always find people you know, it even occurred to me that I had to visit 3 or 4 tables of people that I know and was so fun!
So next time make sure that we meet at Brit!!
