Palermo Gets a New Rooftop with Sweeping Views, Signature Cocktails and Serious Food

Trade Sky Club has opened at the highest point of Palermo, offering views across Buenos Aires from the 28th floor of the Qiub tower at Avenida Juan B. Justo and Honduras. The new rooftop is the second from MAD Group, whose other venues include Trade Sky Bar in the Comega building, Nicky Harrison and Uptown.

Visitors enter through Qiub's main lobby and take an elevator to the top floor. There, huge windows open onto an aerial view stretching from Puerto Madero to the coast of Olivos. The venue covers 600 square meters and can accommodate 180 people, with a main salon, a large indoor bar, an outdoor bar and a terrace designed for use throughout the year.

The food offering comes from chef Dante Liporace. It includes cured white-fish tiraditos, cheese boards, sushi and confit octopus, as well as meat, pasta, risotto, salads and hamburgers. The design retains the rationalist and art deco touches associated with the Trade brand, but replaces the Comega venue's blues, grays and golds with orange, terracotta and aqua-green tones.

The rooftop is intended to work as more than a lookout. Music, cocktails, food and the city's lights shape an experience that begins at sunset and can continue into the early morning. “Palermo allowed us to imagine a more versatile and more nocturnal space, ideal for different moments: from after-work drinks to dinner, a night out or a celebration with an open view of Buenos Aires,” said MAD Group founding partner Andrés Rolando.
