2 Best Nightlife in The Caribbean Coast, Colombia

Demente

Fodor's choice

At night, all roads in Getsemaní seem to lead to Demente. Helped, in part by its perfect location on the Plaza de la Trinidad at the heart of the neighborhood, but the trendy interior, particularly the open-air garden courtyard, makes for a handsome locale to spend the evening. Great tapas, local craft beers, and a smart cocktail menu draw a reliably good crowd, and the low-key, funky soundtrack makes Demente the best spot in Getsemaní to start off a night out. Thin-crust pizzas, fresh from the oven out back, are among the city's best.

El Baron

Centro Fodor's choice
A great location on Plaza San Pedro Claver will draw many in, but it is the serious, top-quality cocktail menu that will keep visitors drinking far later into the night than intended. Cartagena-style speakeasy decor, with exposed stone walls and heavy wooden beams as well as a laid-back soundtrack provide a cozy respite, but El Baron is really all about the bar at the far end. Talented mixologists will mix a drink to your taste, and here, finally, you might actually get the best mojito in town. No need to leave for dinner as the food menu is no slouch either, with a simple, modern menu that includes some great gourmet sandwiches. Reservations, through the website, are advisable. There's no lunch on Sunday and Monday.
