Best Cocktail Bars in Colombia

Colombia's cocktail bars lean on native produce, from Andean fruit to spirits distilled in house. The best cocktail bars in Colombia start in Cartagena with Jean Trinh and Paola Oviedo's Alquímico, The Best Bar in South America 2026 and third on The 50 Best Bars 2026. Medellín adds two more from The 50 Best Bars 2026: Mamba Negra, No. 22, from bartender Juan David Zapata's hospitality group, and Bar Carmen, No. 39, pouring culinary drinks in El Poblado. In Bogotá, La Sala de Laura sits above chef Leonor Espinosa's restaurant Leo and was No. 44 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2024. Alquímico takes no reservations and opens nightly from 7pm. These are the bars we would start with.
