Sometimes people have big parties. As for restaurants outside wineries, we often had very little to eat in the evening after the large lunch degustation menus at the wineries. The small family run Italian restaurants in town are the best bet for evening. You should ask the hotel for the best ones.

It is only about five minutes’ walk from the center which means you can walk to town easily to eat out or go bar hopping, but you won’t suffer from the noise of partygoers leaving bars and restaurants. It is a luxury boutique hotel with only 19 suites so it feels intimate, and the staff are able to provide excellent, personal service. I stayed at this hotel in early December. Read my detailed review of the Queenstown Park Hotel. [...] [...] In my opinion, the Queenstown Park Hotel is the best place to stay in town.

I have no idea. The Puyehue volcano has a mind of its own. However, Bariloche is not as badly affected as Villa La Angostura and life goes on in Bariloche. People don't have to wear face masks in Bariloche. Bear in mind that there is ash on the streets so when the cars and buses drive by, they stir up a lot of ash and if you are walking along the road, you will have a thin coating of ash on you everyday.
