Taboo Discotek
Taboo Discotek is Bocagrande's main nightclub, pulling a weekend crowd of locals and tourists into a multi-level space with a sound system that handles reggaeton, vallenato, and crossover hits with equal force. The venue is bigger than most Cartagena clubs, with a main dance floor, VIP sections, and a separate bar area for when you need to breathe. DJs play to the crowd, which means heavy reggaeton and Latin pop interrupted by the occasional throwback salsa track that gets the whole room moving. Bottle service is available and popular with groups. The door can be selective on busy nights.
