In the hotel in Punta Arenas there is the Shackleton Bar, obviously named after Ernest Shackleton, an Antarctic explorer. Although he was not the first explorer to reach the South Pole (that honor goes to Roald Amundsen), he set out to cross the entire continent through the South Pole. His ship the Endurance became trapped in pack ice and eventually sunk, so he did not complete he goal, but the story of he and men surviving and being rescued is an amazing story. Anyway, this bar in Hotel Jose Nogueira is a nice place to relax. There's intricate woodwork and paintings that depict Shackleton's expedition, and here we enjoyed pisco sours. The image below does not do the bar justice.
