THE MATE BAR JOURNEY

What started as a passion to share Argentina's ritual has become a beautiful exploration of culture, community, and connection.

Our history

  • 2020 - ROLLIN' WITH MATE

    E-scooter tours through the city, mate in hand. Authentic. Real. Urban. We discovered people hunger for genuine cultural experiences.

  • 2024 - FINDING OUR HOME

    We rented our first space in Retiro. Months spent caring for every detail—building a place where Argentina's soul could breathe.

  • 2025 - WE BEGIN

    Officially opening our doors. Cristian joins us (Q2). Roberto completes the team (late year). Our first journey to Misiones to meet producers, understand processes,
    and deepen our knowledge

  • 2026 - GROWING TOGETHER

    A second space in Palermo. Bigger experiences. The team travels again—to learn, to improve, to stay authentic.
    Honored to host the World Yerba Mate Championship.

Meet our staff

  • Co-founder

    Mike

    Mate before the gym, mate after the gym. Believes the ritual is about sharing — but also that a mate alone is the best company there is.

  • co-founder

    Rita

    Could talk for six hours straight and considers mate the only beverage built for the job. Fair warning: mate makes her suspiciously more energetic than usual, and nobody has figured out where the ceiling is.

  • co-founder

    bobby

    Psychoanalyst, deep thinker, and a firm believer that the soul needs feeding two to three times daily. Mate handles it.

  • guide leader

    Cris

    Sharp, dry, and funnier than he lets on. Has genuinely missed a train rather than leave the house without his mate. Not a metaphor.
