Cartagena, Colombia

No. 3 on The 50 Best Bars 2026, No. 11 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2025, and No. 9 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2023.

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.
