Fernet con Coca in Buenos Aires costs ARS 2500–5000 where residents buy it, and ARS 4500–9000 in the parts of the city built around visitors.

Food and drink pricing in Buenos Aires tracks rent more than ingredients. A venue with a terrace on a named square is paying several times the rent of a place one street back, and that difference lands on the menu rather than on the plate.
If you want one number to carry around Buenos Aires, use ARS 3750. Paying up to ARS 5000 is unremarkable. Once a quote crosses ARS 4500, you are inside visitor pricing and it is worth walking on.
For context inside Buenos Aires itself: of the 27 things we price here, tango show carries the widest visitor markup (ARS 5000–15000 locally against ARS 25000–80000), while recoleta cemetery is priced most consistently across the city. Fernet con Coca sits closer to the problem end of that scale, so it is worth checking before you buy.
The practical takeaway for Buenos Aires is small and repeatable. Know that ARS 2500–5000 is normal, recognise ARS 4500–9000 as the visitor rate, and decide deliberately rather than by default.
