The promotional poster for Gringo Tuesdays<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When you\u2019re traveling, time doesn\u2019t always do you favors and can often leave you in a quiet beach resort like Tayrona<\/a> at the weekend just before taking you to a party city at the start of the week, just when everyone seems to be recovering from their hangovers. Fortunately for us, in Bogot\u00e1 there are a group of entrepreneurs with a penchant for partying that are making every effort to see that travelers can party every night of the week.<\/p>\n

Their first bid to ensure your\u00a0Bogot\u00e1\u00a0vacation<\/a> is as much about culture as it is about having a good takes place on that (formerly) most boring of days, Tuesday. Gringo Tuesdays, as you might guess from the name, is designed to give travelers a place to party should they arrive mid-week, but it\u2019s also much more than that. For the opening few hours of a night at Gringo Tuesdays, locals and foreigners come together in a language exchange, aided by the 2×1 Happy Hour that lasts until 10pm. There are a number of languages you can practice, including French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, English and much more.<\/p>\n

Of course, once the language exchange section finishes, many people are on the verge of being tipsy and, when the music starts blasting, a party ensues. With a DJ playing everything from 80s classics (Starship, anyone?) to cutting-edge remixes of artists as diverse as Le Roux, Animal Collective and Madonna, you\u2019re bound to hear something you like and can shake your money-maker to.<\/p>\n

Drinks start at $6.000 COL, and for just $10.000 COL you can try Sierra del Tigre, easily the best beer I\u2019ve sampled here in Colombia<\/a>. It\u2019s brewed locally by friends of the organizers who, I\u2019ve been assured, would only settle for the very best beer available to them.<\/p>\n

Gringo Tuesdays takes place every Tuesday at La Villa, situated in Zona Rosa, Cra 14a No. 83 \u2013 56. You can check out their Facebook page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
