Let the altitude do its work, and bring on the alcohol! Bogota's rumba (partying) is pretty serious. Things heat up at around midnight and go until 3:00am. If the spirit moves you, you can generally find after hours places or a house party to carry your shenanigans into the next morning. Of course you can't bring bottles into bars, but you can buy bottles there and then take them with you if there's anything left over. Know that only the finest establishments are able to make a wide range of drinks and cocktails. It's usually better to order something off of the menu, or keep it simple with a rum and coke or a whiskey on the rocks.
A restaurant/lounge where you can step out of the hipster world into the more artsy side of town. Very laid-back atmosphere with some great mix of indie rock and some older classics! Definitely a place to go for a first date or just to be around an older crowed (25 to 40).

Radio Berlin is the new hip bar/club. On the main floor, you can hear a mix of folklor fusion/cumbia/salsa and hip-hop beat and downstair, they have some DJ's invited to spin on special occasion. If you want to see the young Jet Set crowed of the city, that's the perfect place... Although you will probably not know that you are sitting beside a famous Colombian soap opera star. Just take a guess!

Magnolio is a new restaurant/bar in la Zona G. We placed it under drinks as we think the place is more famous for the party. On week-ends, by 11:30 pm, the place is full and really happening. The hart of the party is on the 2nd floor and 3rd floor (guest list only), but you can go on the first floor for a more quiet ambiance. The great thing is that there is no cover and you can come in and out as you wish.
