Alquímico

Cartagena, Colombia

No. 3 on The 50 Best Bars 2026, No. 11 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2025, and winner of Best International Cocktail Bar at the 2024 Spirited Awards.

Alquimico opened in 2016 inside a colonial mansion in Cartagena's historic center, designed by the French architect Gaston Lelarge and spread across three floors: the Mansion bar, the Balcony for classics and the farm-inspired Terrace. The bar calls itself an ecosystem rather than simply a cocktail bar, and its From the Bar to the Farm project links it directly to producers and to its own farm in Filandia, Quindio. An in-house lab turns Colombian fruit and spices into wines and meads.
