Casual neighborhood bar on Carrera 70 with cheap aguardiente and beer. A local favorite for pre-gaming before hitting the bigger venues on the strip.
Other Venues in Laureles / La 70

No-frills corner spot that's become a Laureles institution. Cheap drinks, plastic chairs on the sidewalk, and a genuine barrio atmosphere free of tourist markup.
El Social
Craft beer bar and casual hangout on La 70 attracting a younger professional crowd. More curated than the typical corner tienda, with Colombian microbrews on tap.
