La Tarzana: Electronic and Salsa
  • Tip Rating:
  • Its located at the Portal de los Dulces ( Candy Market ) which closes at night.
    A 2 story building.
    First floor is fo salsa and latin music lovers, has its own bar and 3 small baconies.
    You choose to sit at the tables, the bar or small sofa beds.

    The second floor palys electronic music all night long.
    Its filled with beds has no ceiling, a perfect with of the stars and the old city.

    The dress code is pretty flexible as long as you wear shoes its all ok.

    A nice pair of jeans and a pretty shirt with sandals will do perfectly.

    Babar: Crossover
  • Tip Rating:
  • A perfect place to go if you long to dance all kinds of music all night long.

    I recommend going with locals if you get the chance.

    Dressy but not too dressy.
    For having cocktails.

    La Carbonera: If theres not enough crossover
  • Tip Rating:
  • La Carbonera is the typical bar were all the "local college kids" dance from Thursday to Sunday. Well at least the ones who like salsa, reggaeton and an imitations of dance music.
    The place is always packed, but everyone goes anyway. Mostly because the go to see who else goes, what they wear, if they bump into the boyfriends ...etc...

    Dress code for guys is pretty simple like any other clubs.
    Girls are required to go as hot as possible.

    Dancing ,People Watching, Romantic Run
  • Tip Rating:
  • To pass an unforgettable time at night in Cartagena there are bars, cafes, casinos and discos. The best places for “rumbear” are Corralito de Piedra, Arsenal Street, and Bocagrande, since romantic and pleasant atmospheres for happy “rumbeaderos”, places where you will have the opportunity to see artists and fun loving people that visit Cartagena de Indies.
    You can also enjoy a ride in a horse drawn coach or a walk for the Old City and admire its splendid view by the romantic colonial streetlights.

    Going by “chiva” is an interesting way to travel in the night around Cartagena. Colorful and picturesque busses where it serves rum, accompanied for the rhythm of Caribbean airs.
    A three hour great tour that starts in Cartagena Bay, where you can appreciate in the distance The Poop, the insignia ship Gloria with its illuminated mast and The Illustrious Guest House nailed in the Manzanillo Island, on one side of the port.

    When leaving Bocagrande you can glimpse the Jetty of the Pegasos, the Tower of the Clock and the Center of Conventions, hall of the Arsenal, the street of the rumba. In the crossing of the Bridge Roman toward the Island of Manga is appreciated in all its dimension the magnificence of San Felipe's Castle.

    For taste the typical fried food as the traditional empanada with egg, the chiva stops at the wall from where one can admire the architecture of the Santa Clara Hotel, then continue toward the Escollera de Bocagrande where the walk concludes, with an invitation to follow the “rumba” there.

    The value of the rumba in chiva, includes liquor and fried food from Cartagena and you can reserve tickets at travel agencies that operate in the hotels.

    Cafe del Mar: Cartagena's most suggestive location
  • Tip Rating:
  • Cafe del Mar ended up being my favourite pre and post dinner hangout in Cartagena... an open-air cocktail bar located on Baluarte Santo Domingo, one of the towns bastions overlooking the sea. It is open every day from 4 PM to 2 AM and it's very scenic. At sunset, it's magical.

    There are plenty of tables and comfy chairs, and some soft sofas, too - and a light breeze coming in tfrom the sea. Cocktails are excellent, in particular their mojito con ron negro. Best tasted with some olives, but you should reember to ask for them... theny don't normally come with your cocktail.

    There's no dress code.

    various tips: Discoteques
  • Tip Rating:
  • Tourists should be carefl where they go out by night ! Some places are packed only with locals and some people won´t feel comfortable with that ! I will just recomend some clubs which are very mixed and safe to go !

    Cafe Del Mar - Baluarte Santo Domingo (on top of the historic city wall close to place santo domingo) - best sunset .. ambient music from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. then house music. Very mixed crowd - for everyone. It is also one of the most expensive places - european or US prices but here in Colombia !

    Babar - just on the corner of Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa - cross over music latin and electronic. Very nice ambient. From 10 p.m.

    Tu Candela - most popular disco - 365 days/year open (cross-over music) Very mixed crowd. From 10 p.m. On the "plaza de los coches" the place where the clocktower is.

    Mr babilla - very popular and comercial discoteque (cross-over music) where all the chivas (coloured city tour buses) stops by. From 10 p.m. Calle Arsenal - close to the convention center !

    Quiebra Canto - most popular salsa disco - very nice ambient. crossing in direction to the convention center in front of the clock tower !

    No flip-flops ! Better seen with long trousers for men !

    LA ESCOLLERA: nighttime party on the beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you decide to have a party near to the beach with your friends, you can go to "LA ESCOLLERA", where you can find a lot of bars and pubs. while you are drinking you can enjoy the best typical music of the country and even international music. This place is very atractive because people go to the pubs from 8Pm to 3Am, then they go to the beach to end the party hearing vallenato playing by local artists.

    You can use any kind of clothes
