What Tamango Is
Twelve taps, all Tamango, all rotating by season. The Quilicura brewery behind them took Premios Chela's best national brewery award in 2023, and this Bellavista corner took best beer bar in the country the same year (Mango Merken).
The bar opened as the brewery's first taproom at the corner of Mallinkrodt and Dardignac. La Tercera called it the new paradise for craft beer in Bellavista.
There are no reservations and no guest taps. You drink what the brewers shipped that week, which is the point.
Reading the Room
The bar and its 12 taps hold the first floor. A street terrace catches the Bellavista foot traffic.
Upstairs, a second terrace looks toward Cerro San Cristobal. On a clear evening it is the best seat in the building, and it goes first.
The Menu, Edited
Ask the staff to talk you through the board. La Guia de Santiago singled out the service for explaining every pour without being asked.
Who Shows Up, and When
Closed Sunday and Monday.
Weeknights pull a local beer crowd that orders by style, not by name. Saturday opens at 3pm and the upstairs terrace fills before sundown.
What Regulars Say
- La Tercera named it the new paradise of craft beer in Bellavista when it opened.
- Mango Merken reported the 2023 Premios Chela double: best beer bar and best national brewery.
- La Guia de Santiago praised balanced, original, fresh beers and impeccable staff.
- Wanderlog reviewers repeat two notes: the IPAs and the second floor view.
Who It Is For
- Beer drinkers who want one brewery's full range, fresh from the source.
- A first stop on a Bellavista night before the neighborhood gets loud.
- Avoid if you need a table at a set time; no bookings means no guarantees.
Before You Go
Metro Baquedano on Lines 1 and 5 is the closest stop, about ten minutes on foot across the Pio Nono bridge. Arrive before 7pm on Friday for a terrace seat.
Cards accepted. The beer list changes with the season, so the tap board outranks anything printed.
