Best nightclubs Colombia

After moving from the rooftop of an old decadent hotel in the center, where Pergola Clandestina was one of the first dance bars to return to the historic center, the club moved not far away, right in front of La Ermita church, and still under the stars. Its rooftops offer three different visual and musical experiences: crossover music (reggaeton, tropical), alternative lounge, and electro. On weekends, don't arrive too late or you'll have a long line to get into this mecca of Caleña nightlife.

Theatron opened its doors in May 2002, after the complete restoration of what previously operated as the Metro Riviera Theater and Cinema. Twenty years later, Theatron has become an icon of the gay party. It is the largest LGBTI nightclub in Latin America! A must for partygoers, straight people welcome. 13 rooms that can accommodate no less than 7,000 people, and it's often full! Different musical atmospheres: rock, cross-over, reggaetón, Colombian popular music, merengue, 80s and especially electro.

No cover at the entrance. Many people on weekends. ., salsa, vallenato and reggaetón listen. They drink force rum and aguardiente.

The partygoers will not fail to make the trip from Bogotá to know this mythical nightclub! Opened in 1994, it became one of the biggest clubs of the country, of the continent say some! Five atmospheres: La Cantina (popular music, llanera, classical vallenato...), La Discoteca (crossover), El Bar (reggaetón and modern vallenato), El Jardín (ranchera), El Patio (urban and electro). Last advice, as everywhere in Colombia, even where it's very hot, proper dress is required, avoid Bermuda shorts, you'll be turned away!

At the corner of Carrera 44 and Calle 74, you can find the most emblematic place in the city to go salsa dancing! A completely informal open-air bar that has been declared a cultural and musical heritage of Barranquilla. Delicious salsa vieja, for lovers of authentic salsa. But be careful, once you come here, you always come back, that's what they say here... Since 1966, the concerts inflame the dancers who crowd there all generations and social classes confused. Unavoidable to feel the spirit of Quilla!

Carlos Vives, the Colombian star from Santa Marta, opened with his brother Guillermo the restaurant Guaira Café, which quickly became a cult place for Caribbean music. The pandemic and family differences led to a new concept and Carlos remains alone at the helm of Cumbia House. The concerts, the dancing, and every space in this large house are reminiscent of Colombian cheerfulness. The cuisine from different regions is average, one comes here especially for the festive atmosphere. Reservations are required from Wednesday to Saturday.

In Chapinero, in the Carrera Séptima, in front of the Parque de los Hippies, a very nice and not stuffy club, appreciated by 25 years old and more, with an open and alternative spirit. Two rooms, two atmospheres. Sala Jaguar plays salsa, merengue, champeta, boogaloo, or even chucu chucu! Sala Disco broadcasts rock as well as dancehall, through funk, hip hop and reggaetón. Buena rumba in general, and good child atmosphere which becomes animated towards midnight. Drinks not too expensive, and half of the cover is for a drink.

A temple of the salsa of Bogotá! For 40 years, we sway to the best Caribbean rhythms: salsa, son, bolero, Latin jazz... The collection of vinyls at the disposal of the DJ's is enormous! A space of artistic freedom which awaits you! Very good concerts at the end of the week. The bar is located in a small street 2 minutes walk from Parque de la 93. Another Galería Café Libro has recently opened in the Palermo neighborhood. Besides dancing, you can eat Colombian specialties, but also burgers and vegetarian dishes.

The temple of the salsa brava! Like at Casa Quiebra Canto in the center of Bogotá, a warm bar where people dance until the end of the night, and that for about 40 years! Warm colors and beautiful posters of salsa legends. The place is located at the entrance of Getsemaní, and enjoys a clear view of the old city from the small balcony. On the first floor, La Caponera is a more informal, no-fee bar, with cheap beers and good salsa as well. Excellent atmosphere in general between locals and tourists.
