El Cairo Bar

Most traditional bar in Rosario, where the stories of Fontanarrosa and his friends live.

This was the place where the legendary "Gallants' Table", the place where Fontanarrosa and his friends met, source of inspiration for many of the most famous stories by Negro, was born. Just as Rosario, the table doesn’t have a foundation date, though the first meetings go back to 1980. Anyone who visits “El Cairo” today, in the evenings, will probably find some of the members of that social circle, deep in their recurrent conversations on soccer, politics, and women. They meet at a distinctive table, with historical pictures of the group and the colours of Newell's and Central. Close to it, stands the sculpture dedicated to Fontanarrosa, a must for every visitor’s pictures.
