The 10 Best Bars In Bogotá, Colombia

While you probably didn’t head to Bogotá in search of British food or drink, El Inglésis a great place to go to for a taste of Blighty. Just walking through the door and seeing all the posters of the Beatles, British beer and UK football teams is enough to transport anyone back to Britain, and that’s before you’ve even had a pint. Serving up an array of great British beers on draft, you should swing by on a weekend and enjoy a knees up, English roast, complete with Yorkshire puddings.

If you’re bored with swigging back aguardiente, Colombia’s own version of Sambucca and very much a nationwide loved drink, head over to El Monje for some quality beers from all around the world. With such a vast list to choose from you may be overwhelmed, but fret not, the expert owner and staff will be more than happy to advise you, and will guarantee you drink your beer in the correct type of glass. Just as well, because they’ve got nearly 100 different types of glasses.

The one hour journey to reach this restaurant and bar, located in Chía, deters nobody from entering the strange and wonderful world that is Andrés Carne de Res. An odd combo of the ultimate party place and fine dining, this place has an incredible atmosphere with great music from live bands throughout the night. The drinks here are as quirky as the place itself, and although they are not cheap, they will certainly make your travel worth it. Why not get the party started on the way over and come in a chiva (party bus) with friends?

Club Colombia’s specialty are their incredible cocktails using local fruits, such as the corozo martini or lulada envenenada. Corozo is a tart berry which makes for a killer martini, and the lulada envenenada is a play on a much loved slushie popular in Cali, made with lulo, a fruit very similar to kiwi. Envenenada translates as poison, but don’t worry, that just refers to the rum.
