A meat restaurant very traditional in Colombia that comes from Bogota so even better if you can go there or outside Bogota where it started. The restaurant turns at some point into a party, when people start to get up and dance. It‘s a Colombian experience.

For a traditional party, you can go to a Fonda: La Chismosa is one in El Poblado. Most of them are a bit outside the center like La Chismosa in Las Palmas or La Tienda de Sabaneta (you need to go by taxi and it’s more fun if you go in a group). Definitely go on the weekend.
