History
editThe establishment was founded in 1905 by the Italians Vigilio Botano and brothers Luis and Antonio Cordano, on the first floor of the Hotel Comercio, known for a murder that took place on June 24, 1930.[2] It belonged to its original owners for 73 years, being ceded to its workers in 1978.[1] The Cordano family lived in front of the bar, in what today is the Bodega y Quadra Museum.[3]
It was declared part of the Cultural heritage of Peru on April 26, 1989.[1]
