Other Venues in Centro Historico
Alquímico
Three-story cocktail bar consistently ranked among Latin America's best. Ground floor speakeasy, mid-level bar, and open-air rooftop terrace. Cocktails run 35,000 to 55,000 COP.
Café del Mar
Iconic sunset spot perched on the old city walls near Baluarte de Santo Domingo. DJ sets start at dusk. Drinks are overpriced, but you're paying for the Caribbean panorama.
Tu Candela
Main dance club in the walled city playing reggaeton, salsa, and champeta. Packs out after 1 AM on weekends with a mostly local and Latin tourist crowd.
Bazurto Social Club
Live champeta, salsa, and Afro-Caribbean music most nights. Small, sweaty dance floor with authentic local energy. One of the best spots to hear real Cartagena street music.
El Barón
Refined cocktail bar on Plaza de San Pedro Claver. Colombian-inspired craft cocktails, knowledgeable bartenders, and a polished atmosphere that stands apart from most walled city bars.
Donde Fidel
Legendary salsa bar near the Clock Tower playing classic vinyl records since the 1990s. No cover most nights, cheap drinks, and a packed dance floor on weekends.
