Unique concept: live mixing of vocals and instrumentation from two separate sound booths. The new location (previously in Usaquen) is much bigger and better located. Above the already famous club Bardot, it's becoming a must in this well known neighborhood.

Making your way up to Andres is a must if you are in Bogota for more than a day. The good-looking young waiters, delicious food, dancing, and theatre (there are live dance, music, and mime routines) pretty much cover all ground. Although there is now another location in Bogota proper, it is definitely still worth the trip to Chia. The best times to go are Friday and Saturday night or Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Order the mojitos for drinks, arepas de choclo and chicharrones for an appetizer, and lomo al trapo for a main course. Don't be worried if you are vegetarian, since there are many options.
Useful Information: Chia is about 45 minutes from Bogota. To get there, it is advisable to rent a van if you are more than four people (there is information about vans in our transportation section). The van will wait for you. Otherwise, just take a taxi from Bogota, and you will have no problem finding one after your meal to take you back to Bogota., Credit Cards, Reservations (recommended if you are arriving past 4:00 p.m.), Parking, and WiFi.

Only open on certain nights, In Vitro hosts special events and hip dance parties. Check out "In Vitro Virtual" on the website as they often show some movies before the party starts.

Party to your favorite hits from the 80s and 90s. And don't worry, there are plasma TVs that also show the music videos. Full 80s is FUN. It's not 80s chic or trendy or exclusive, and it's not trying to be better than it is. Great place for a group.

New indie bar in a kitsch deco, El Coq is a great place for people watching and dancing. You probably won't notice all the young popular Colombian jet-set, but seems like they made this bar their new hang out. There's a 20.000 peso cover on weekends, and the party starts around midnight.
Address: Calle 84 # 14-02
Great trendy bar in Bogota's downtown. Nights vary in terms of music genre, so be prepared for anything.

Appreciate local art while enjoying a potent cocktail. They don't have a kitchen, but you can order off the surrounding restaurants' menus. In the heart of the very popular "Zona T" (think: people watching), it's still a very affordable place to go, and most of the time has a table available for you.

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).
