Bogotá

Bogotá Beer Company, also known as the BBC, is a major producer of artisanal beer in the country. Its numerous pubs have a laid back, chill vibe and, of course, great beer. All venues have screens that are tuned to sports channels, so it's a great option to watch a game. BBC pubs stay open till very late and serve hearty pub grub. Try their dark beer with the coffee flavour to keep you tipsy yet awake.

Presea is a loud and obnoxious rooftop bar in Zona Rosa known for its wild reggaeton nights. Great views of the city, youthful atmosphere and fun, outgoing crowd. It might be a good idea to bring earplugs for this one.

Andrés Carne De Res has been described as a "Cheesecake Factory crossed with a nightclub on steroids". It is an iconic restaurant, bar and club that is an absolute must for any self-respecting nightlife aficionado. You can start the night with an early dinner. The party gets going early, around 9pm, and soon takes over the several floors of this eclectic venue. The original venue is located in the suburb called Chia about 45 km from the centre of Bogotá. Totally worth the drive! If you are short on time, you can try the other venue near Zona Rosa.

Video Club is located in a renovated warehouse, which gives it that industrial vibe popular with the hipsters of Chapinero. Dance to electronic music (techno, tech-house, deep house, acid jazz, etc) in the main room or get sensual to some Latin beats on the smaller dance floor. There is an outdoor terrace for you to cool down and chat people up.

Kaputt Club is not for everyone, but that's its strength. Arcade games, fire pit, great lighting, rooftop terrace and five different rooms with distinct music styles. There is a clear extravagant atmosphere: best to sport an eccentric look — think mild Burning Man meets Blade Runner.
