Jack the Ripper


Motevideo, Recoleta
Hours: Open 6pm till late, Happy Hour from 6-9PM.
Price range: $$$

Named for London's notorious and still unsolved murderer, recently portrayed by Johnney Depp in 'From Hell', this is the closest thing to a straight up traditional London pub, right down to the most fugal of details, including drinks poured straight from imported English jiggers and stiff prices. Stodgy upstairs pub atmosphere, dark, somewhat intimate with space for you or your girl to pass out on buoyant couches once you've had too many drinks. Cool metal staircase leads down into the dungeon like basement with more merriment to be found, including all night long make-out sessions to the Smiths or early Depeche Mode, if you're lucky.

Pretty upscale and English enough to satisfy even an out of town Londoner, even if just for a night, drinks range from $10-$16AR and a beer is $9AR.
