Nestled inside Bogotá’s upscale Zona T at El Retiro Shopping Center, Andrés D.C. brings the legendary Andrés Carne de Res experience into the city with a flamboyant, multi‑layered venue. Spread over four distinct floors—Infierno, Tierra, Purgatorio, and Cielo—the restaurant immerses guests in a theatrical world of flamboyant decor reminiscent of steampunk, antique bazaars, and twisted carnival aesthetics. The menu reads like a full novel—around 66 pages—offering a dizzying array of Colombian classics and creative dishes. Start with empanadas for under US $2, feast on massive plantain‑topped tostón for about US $30, or share a two‑pound sirloin for eight diners for around US $60. Seafood lovers can sample Caribbean‑inspired ceviches and casseroles, with most dishes under US $20. But the real draw isn’t just the food—it’s the spectacle. Expect wandering musicians, spontaneous choreographed performances by staff, parades, clowns, and showstopping surprises as you dine. It's a nonstop show that seamlessly transitions into a nightclub vibe as the night progresses. Open daily—daily hours stretch from noon to midnight or later, with extended hours until 3 AM on weekends. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, heading out after shopping, or just looking for a one‑of‑a‑kind night out, Andrés D.C. delivers on atmosphere, food, and unforgettable entertainment.
La Sala de Laura is not just a bar—it’s a narrative in liquid form. Conceived by sommelier Laura Hernández Espinosa, under the roof of her mother’s restaurant Leo, this space is an ode to Colombia’s ecosystems, translated into distillates, flavors, and stories. Nestled on the second floor above Leo (Calle 65 Bis # 4-23, Chapinero, Bogotá), La Sala de Laura channels a warm, wood-toned, intimate environment. The bar’s heart lies in its Territorio line—seven house-made distillates inspired by Colombia’s biomes (Amazon, Andes, Pacific, Caribbean, etc.). Cocktails here feel deceptively simple but carry deep intention. The menu Avistamiento includes creations like The Toucan, using Territorio Montaña, purple granadilla, macadamia and sesame, crafted to tell ecological stories. A Negroni twist with cocoa husk and Territorio distillate shows their take on classics. Unlike the tightly curated tasting menu below in Leo, La Sala de Laura gives more freedom—à la carte cocktails and small sharing plates, enabling flexible exploration. The food complements the drinks: inventive dishes, tapas or small plates that echo Colombian ingredients. In 2024, La Sala de Laura earned the #44 spot on The World’s 50 Best Bars. That recognition speaks to both its technical strength and its emotional resonance. Colombians and international travelers alike come for more than drinks—they come for stories, aromas, culture, and an immersive connection to place via bar craft. Throughout, service is guiding—a bartender might walk you through the origin of each distillate, explain the ecosystems behind a drink, or pair your cocktail with a bite to deepen the experience. If you want, I can also get the full cocktail menu, best drinks, user reviews, and opening hours by day.
