On a Wednesday in Bogotá there’s little doubt about where to go. Although the bars and pubs in Zona Rosa are invariably busy, most of those looking for something a little wilder will head into the city’s centre to Quiebracanto for a night of drinking, dancing and a palpable potential for romance.
The popularity of the club means that even those only living here in Bogotá for a month or so will undoubtedly have been more than once having being told almost immediately that Wednesdays in Bogotá are all about Quiebracanto. As such, it’s the kind of place you go and bump into people you know as well as getting talking to strangers. Clearly, the atmosphere is a relaxed one, perhaps assisted by the COL$5,000 half-pint drinks that are pre-prepared for you, or the incredibly reasonable pricing of a pint of strong Cuba Libre (COL$10,000).
It could, of course, just be that infamous warmth of Colombians that permeates throughout the old walls of the club, making foreigners feel not just welcome, but encouraged to try to avoid embarrassing themselves by joining in dancing with the skillful locals.
The music is a consistent mix of latin-infused vibes with a strong influence from the States, known here largely as cross-over. This means you’ll get a dose of reggaeton, hip-hop, modern salsa and plenty of R&B to shake your booty to. So if you’re looking for what’s on in Bogotá on Wednesday night but haven’t asked any locals yet (undoubtedly they’d tell you) then take our word for it and head to. Maybe just practice a little dancing in front of the mirror beforehand…
Entry to Quiebracanto costs $10,000 (with a drink) and the club is found at. Click here for more information.
