ASUNCIÓN, Paraguay – Bar Nacional has reopened its doors in the heart of Asunción's historic district. This new restaurant is expected to revitalize one of the capital's most iconic corners and enhance the social and cultural scene.
Located in the heart of Asunción, between Palma and Chile streets, and opposite the National Pantheon of Heroes, Bar Nacional has been reborn thanks to "Grupo Cinco." This space aims to establish itself as a new hub for gastronomy and gatherings.
The space harmoniously blends tradition and modernity. It has been designed with an ambiance reminiscent of the bar's founding era, complemented by modern details and a collection of artwork by renowned Paraguayan artists.
Visitors can admire works by prominent artists such as Hugo Cataldo Barudi, Regina Rivas Bigordá, Carolina Vinader, Laura Mandelik, and Jorge Saenz. Through photographs depicting Asunción in the past, they can also experience Paraguayan popular culture and the vibrant spirit of its citizens.
This historic building, which holds historical value and has played a significant role in monumental celebrations for the Paraguayan people, has been renovated respecting its original architectural style while incorporating structural improvements to ensure its preservation and functionality for the future.
With a total capacity of 200 people, the space is divided into several zones to suit different times of the day. The ground floor and veranda are designed for those who wish to enjoy outdoor activities and the city's vibrancy, while the two halls on the second floor offer a more intimate and warm atmosphere for special meetings or gatherings.
Operating hours are from 7:00 AM to 1:00 AM from Monday to Thursday, 7:00 AM to 2:00 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, and 8:00 AM to 1:00 AM on Sundays.
Notably, special discounts will be offered to customers of Ueno Bank, the official sponsor of the bar, promising an even more attractive experience.
