Bogota Beer Company: Cool area

  • Nightlife Spot: Bogota Beer Company

    This was one of our first nightlife stops in Bogota and, of course, when I saw the name, I just had to try some local beers. The place is in one of the corners of the park itself (the grassy spot known as Parque 93) and has a cool atmosphere. They had American football on TV and the prices were high for Bogota, but the potential for good beer made it all worthwhile. Unfortunately, I can't say that the beers were anything to brag about, but the fact that they have micro brews here was just kinda cool. Of the few that I tried, I'd have to say that the Montserrate Roja was the best.

    Teatro Colon: Opera, Theater

  • Nightlife Spot: Teatro Colon

    The Teatro Colon is located next door to the Hotel de la Opera in La Candelaria and has performances of opera, theater and symphony year-round. Most Fridays you can hear the local symphony orchestra (Orquesta Sinfónica de Colombia) play here. I've only seen the interior in pictures on the web, but it looks exquisite. The building was designed by an Italian architect and the theater opened in 1892. Guided tours are offered a few times per day for around $1.50. Students will show you the inside of the theater and give you some historical information in Spanish.

    Rock n Jazz Casino: Feeling lucky?

  • Nightlife Spot: Rock n Jazz Casino

    I'm not into gambling, but my buddy Jonathan was feeling lucky one night and he enjoys playing Blackjack so we stopped here for a very brief and unsuccessful try at the tables. It's amazing how quickly a person can lose $200 (like, in about 3 minutes!), but later in the trip, Jonathan avenged himself and won his money back. Security is tight here and there's not much of a scene inside. Just some slots, games and table to play the usual . . . craps, blackjack, poker, etc.

     Continental Airlines sometimes offers a weekend special to Bogota. Your page has helped me better understand what it's like -- I like the fact that people are natural and friendly.

     Very cool, a brewpub and like the tip about making calls from other's cell phones too. Look forward to checking this all out next winter. Hmm, I just might have to stay in La Candelaria. ;)
