Bendito Seas
Bendito Seas runs a craft cocktail bar in Laureles that quietly challenges the assumption that all good drinking happens in El Poblado. The space is compact and carefully designed, with a bar that shows off the spirits and a lighting scheme that flatters everyone. The cocktail menu blends local Colombian ingredients (lulo, maracuyá, guanábana) with solid technique. Prices are noticeably lower than the same quality in El Poblado or Parque Lleras. The crowd is mostly local Laureles residents and people from the nearby Estadio metro station neighborhood. On weekdays, it's a conversation bar. Weekends bring more energy.
What to Expect
A polished cocktail bar that feels like a local secret. The quality matches El Poblado's best at Laureles prices. Intimate enough for real conversation, lively enough on weekends to feel festive. Good for an early evening drink that extends into the night.
Intimate, well-crafted, and locally loved. Laureles' best-kept secret.
Background lounge, indie, and electronic. Conversation-friendly.
Smart casual. Laureles keeps it relaxed but put-together.

Insider Tip
The guanábana cocktails are the house specialty and genuinely delicious. Sit at the bar for the most interactive experience. This is Laureles' best cocktail bar and locals know it, so weekend tables fill early.
