Statua Rota
Statua Rota is a craft beer bar in Quinta Camacho with one of Bogotá's deepest tap lists, a casual neighborhood vibe, and a focus on Colombian craft beer. The original outlet on Carrera 10A #69-38 is the smaller of two locations, with around 18 taps across the bar and a short food menu of pub snacks. The space is intimate, with about 50 across the bar, a few high-tops, and a small sidewalk extension. The crowd is mostly local craft beer enthusiasts, expats from the surrounding Chapinero and Quinta Camacho residential blocks, and the kind of Bogotá customer who comes back weekly. The format runs as a pub rather than a destination cocktail bar; conversation dominates, music sits low, and the focus is consistently on the beer. A second location operates further north for expansion overflow.

Insider Tip
The Colombian craft selection is the actual draw; ask the bartender for what's on rare release. The four-pour flight is the smart entry. The Quinta Camacho location is quieter than central Chapinero; the sidewalk seats are the move on warm evenings.
Full Review
Statua Rota occupies a corner townhouse on Carrera 10A in Quinta Camacho, with the entrance opening directly into the bar. The interior is small and casual: bare brick walls, a long wooden bar, a few high-tops scattered across the floor, and a chalkboard listing the day's taps. The sidewalk extends the seating by another 15-20 people in dry weather.
The craft beer selection runs deeper than most Bogotá outlets. Around 18 taps rotate Colombian craft (Statua Rota's house brews from a small in-house brewery, plus guest taps from BBC, 3 Cordilleras, Apostol, and smaller regional breweries) with imports filling the gaps. The house brews are the differentiator; the Statua Rota lineup includes a flagship IPA, a session lager, a dark ale, and seasonal one-offs.
The food menu is short and casual: empanadas, patacones with hogao, cheese plates, and a few hot sandwiches. Nothing matches restaurant quality but the food works as pub accompaniment.
Compared with BBC Pub at Parque 93 (larger, more polished) and Beer Station Zona T (newer, more central), Statua Rota is the most committed of Bogotá's craft beer destinations to small Colombian breweries and unusual selection. The Quinta Camacho location keeps the crowd local and the volume low.
The venue runs as a neighborhood spot rather than a destination. Repeat visitors come back regularly; first-time visitors who try it usually become repeat visitors. The Quinta Camacho location means most arrivals come by Uber or walk in from the surrounding residential blocks.
The Neighborhood
Statua Rota sits in Quinta Camacho, the residential block south of Parque 93 and north of central Chapinero. Huerta is a five-minute walk; the main Chapinero strip is 10 minutes south by Uber.
Getting There
Uber to Carrera 10A #69-38. From Centro the ride costs 15,000-22,000 COP; from Zona Rosa 8,000-14,000 COP.
