Bourbon St. Pub
Bourbon St. Pub anchors the southern end of Avenida 9 Norte at the corner of Calle 15AN with a wraparound terrace, New Orleans-themed interior, and live jazz and blues programming on Friday and Saturday nights. The space splits between the open-fronted ground-floor bar with sidewalk seating, an indoor restaurant with full Cajun-leaning food menu, and a covered second-floor patio for cooler nights. The decor commits to the French Quarter aesthetic: brass-band photographs, Mardi Gras masks on the walls, jazz-musician portraits, and Bourbon Street signage along the bar. The cocktail program runs both classic builds (Old Fashioned, Sazerac, Hurricane, Hand Grenade) and house signatures with Colombian-Cajun fusion. Pricing reflects Granada's upscale positioning: cocktails 28,000-42,000 COP, beer 12,000-18,000 COP, mains 50,000-95,000 COP. The crowd is heavy on Cali expats, foreign visitors, and polished Caleños from the surrounding neighborhood.

Book a corner terrace table for the live music nights through WhatsApp; the sidewalk seating fills first. The Cajun-leaning food menu is reliable; the gumbo and the jambalaya are the kitchen's strongest. Cards process faster than cash here.
Full Review
Bourbon St. Pub occupies a corner space at Avenida 9 Norte #15AN-27 with a wraparound terrace that defines the venue. The ground-floor bar opens onto two sides of the corner with sidewalk tables stretching along both frontages. The interior runs warm: dark wood walls, framed jazz musician portraits, Mardi Gras-themed decor, and a long bar along one wall with the kitchen behind. The second floor adds a covered patio for cooler nights and reserved tables for groups.
The New Orleans theme commits credibly. The Cajun-leaning food menu runs gumbo, jambalaya, blackened fish, po' boys, and Cajun grilled meats at prices appropriate for Granada. The cocktail program runs both classic New Orleans builds (Sazerac, Hurricane, Hand Grenade, Vieux Carré) and Colombian-Cajun fusion signatures with local ingredients (aguardiente, lulo, chontaduro). Execution is consistent across both food and drinks.
The Friday and Saturday live jazz and blues programming is the venue's signature draw. Rotating local musicians cycle through with sets covering jazz, blues, brass-band, and occasional zydeco. Shows typically start around 9:30 PM and run in three rotations until 1 AM. The sound system handles brass and acoustic instruments well in the room.
Compared to other Granada bars (Faró, Blue Monkey, Brutus Bear), Bourbon St. is more themed, more food-and-music-focused, and pulls a notably more expat-heavy crowd. The English-speaking staff and the visible Anglo-cultural references make it accessible for newer foreign visitors. Compared to the El Peñón bars across town, Bourbon St. is more polished and more dinner-friendly. Reservations help on Friday and Saturday for both terrace seating and live music nights.
