Mr. Babilla
Mr. Babilla takes the sports bar concept and gives it a Caribbean Colombian twist. The open-air setup on Bocagrande's main strip catches the ocean breeze while screens show fútbol, baseball, and boxing. The menu is heavy on seafood: ceviche, fried fish, patacones, and cold beer that arrives faster than you can drink it. The after-work crowd evolves into a late-night scene on weekends, when the DJ takes over from the sports commentary. It's casual, unpretentious, and exactly what you want after a day on Bocagrande's beach.

Insider Tip
The ceviche is fresh and worth ordering. Best time is early evening when the beach crowd drifts in and the temperature drops. Sit outside for the breeze.
