Vintrash
Vintrash puts a retro spin on the Parque Lleras nightclub formula, running themed nights around vintage music from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. The décor leans into nostalgia: neon signs, vintage posters, and a design language that recalls an era before reggaeton dominated everything. Music-wise, expect DJ sets that cross between pop classics, rock hits, and the occasional Latin throwback. The crowd tends to appreciate the concept: slightly older than the average Parque Lleras clubber, and there specifically for the retro soundtrack. It's a welcome alternative if reggaeton isn't your thing.
What to Expect
A themed nightclub where the music predates the smartphone era. The DJ reads the crowd well, shifting between decades depending on the response. If you grew up on Nirvana, Michael Jackson, or Backstreet Boys, you'll feel nostalgic. Good for groups who prefer songs they know.

Insider Tip
Thursday nights tend to be the best for the retro theme. Bring your 90s knowledge and be ready to sing along. The crowd is more mixed in age than typical Parque Lleras venues.
Full Review
Vintrash wears its concept on its sleeve. Neon signs, vintage posters, and decor that references the 80s, 90s, and 2000s fill a room that feels like a themed party rather than a nightclub. The lighting matches the retro mood: colored spots and mirror balls replace the LED walls and lasers of the neighboring clubs.
The DJ works through decades chronologically on most nights, starting with 80s pop and rock before moving through 90s hits and early 2000s classics. The crowd knows the words and sings along. The demographic skews slightly older than typical Parque Lleras, with people in their late 20s to 40s who came specifically because they don't want reggaeton. The atmosphere is celebratory in a nostalgic way.
In a zone dominated by reggaeton and electronic music, Vintrash fills a specific gap. It's the only venue in Parque Lleras where you'll hear Nirvana followed by Backstreet Boys followed by Shakira's early catalogue. The concept works because it's committed rather than half-hearted. Compared to the retro nights some clubs run occasionally, Vintrash does this every weekend.
Thursday nights tend to have the best balance of crowd size and music curation. Retro outfits are encouraged and earn you social currency. The sing-along factor peaks around midnight when inhibitions drop and the DJ hits the crowd-pleasers.
The Neighborhood
Vintrash offers Parque Lleras' main alternative to the reggaeton-dominated clubs surrounding it. It draws a slightly different crowd to the same zone, proving there's demand for something beyond the Latin urban soundtrack that defines most of El Poblado's nightlife.
Getting There
Same access as all Parque Lleras venues: Metro to Poblado station plus a taxi or uphill walk, or direct taxi/Uber from anywhere in Medellin. Located on the commercial strip adjacent to the park.
