Practical information : Take a break Uruguay

Timetable

Cafés play an important role in Uruguayan culture and Uruguayans usually gather in these establishments to chat, socialize, read or just have a coffee alone. Cafés are generally open every day, especially in the city, from 8am until early evening. Bars, on the other hand, open in the late afternoon and can stay open until 1 or 2 am.

Budget & Tips

Drinks in Uruguay are generally affordable, although prices may increase slightly in tourist areas. However, do not expect prices to be as low as in Argentina. For a beer, expect to pay around $150 (local and craft beers are more expensive). For a bottle of water, the rate is around $60, while a black coffee is $50 and a cappuccino is $150. Cocktails are close to $200, while a glass of wine costs about $150.

Age restrictions

The minimum legal drinking age is 18. Controls are strict and young people are often required to show identification to prove their age before they can buy alcohol.

What's very local

Although mate is the most popular drink in the country, it is unfortunate that bars and cafes do not offer it in their drink selection. To try a real mate, you will have to go to a local grocery store and buy yerba (the herbs), as well as the accessories needed to make it, such as the cup (the mate), the thermos and the straw(the bombilla). An alternative would be to ask for a cup of mate cocido (infused mate) prepared with bags of yerba and infused in boiling water. In addition, the aperitif is a well-established custom in the country and Uruguayans are used to having a drink before dinner. Most often they opt for beer or wine, but some prefer cocktails made with local spirits such as caña or grappa. The "medio y medio", a mixture of sparkling wine and white wine, is also a very popular aperitif drink.
