Beer Station Zona T
Beer Station Zona T is a craft and imported beer pub at Calle 83 #12A-63 with sidewalk seating, a long tap list, and a pub-grub food menu. The venue serves as the reliable starting point for Zona Rosa nights, with the after-office crowd filling tables from 6 PM and the bar staying steady until late. Around 25 taps rotate Colombian craft (BBC, Bogotá Beer Company specialties, Statua Rota guest taps) alongside imported European and US craft. Pints sit in the upper teens for local craft and higher for imports. The sidewalk extension is the move on warm evenings; the indoor space is loud but conversation-friendly with a focus on the bar counter. Closing time runs earlier than the clubs: most of the action winds down by 1 AM. A second outlet operates inside the El Retiro mall.

Insider Tip
Order the tap-of-the-day flight (four 4-oz pours) to sample local craft without committing to full pints. The chicharrón plate is the best food pairing; the burgers are decent but generic. Grab a sidewalk table on warm evenings.
Full Review
Beer Station occupies a narrow corner space with the bar running along one wall, high-tops scattered across the floor, and a sidewalk extension that doubles capacity when the weather allows. The interior is well-lit by Zona Rosa standards; the music sits at conversation volume rather than club level. The tap list runs around 25 lines with regular rotation; chalkboards behind the bar list the day's options.
The craft beer selection focuses on Colombian breweries with imports filling the gaps. BBC is the local heavyweight and gets multiple lines; Statua Rota from nearby Quinta Camacho usually has one or two taps; smaller breweries from Medellín and the Eje Cafetero rotate. Imports lean toward US craft (Sierra Nevada, Stone, Lagunitas) and German wheat beers. The flight format is the smart play for first-time visitors.
The food menu is short and competent. Chicharrón plates, burgers, hot wings, and a few Colombian snacks (patacones, arepas) round out the offering. Prices sit above street-food level but below restaurant pricing.
Beer Station serves as the warm-up for most Zona Rosa nights. After-office crowds fill the place from 6 to 9 PM; from there, drinkers either stick around for another round or move to the clubs nearby. The venue doesn't try to compete with the rooftops or the dance clubs; it runs its lane competently.
Compared with BBC Pub at Parque 93 or the Statua Rota outlets in Quinta Camacho, Beer Station Zona T sits in the middle on price and selection. The location is the main advantage: walking distance to everything else in the strip.
