Bodega 87 is the kind of restobar Punta Arenas was missing - craft cocktails that feel intentional, artisanal beers that convert skeptics, and small plates that outdeliver their promise. Shrimp-topped potatoes and seafood pizza are non-negotiable; the bar itself, crackling with energy and invention, is the room's spine. Industrial piping and a second floor with live music make a night feel genuinely different from the usual. Two things matter enough to know: noise can be relentless (the space is compact and fills quickly), so early arrival or off-peak hours suit anyone wanting to hold a conversation. Order-taking misfires happen often enough to be worth confirming with your server that the ticket was actually placed.
The noise gets real when the place fills up, so arrive early if you want to actually talk. That said, the cocktail bar is genuinely creative, the shrimp potatoes are worth ordering, and confirm your order with the server because mistakes happen often enough to matter
What to order

High-energy bar culture with live music upstairs. Loud, crowded, deliberately social - not a quiet dinner spot.
