Saturday Night Bar Crawl in Santa Marta, Colombia
Description
IMPORTANT- There is a dress code for this tour! Swimwear, sandals, hats, sportswear, and sunglasses are NOT allowed! Furthermore, we do not allow any aspects of sex tourism either. We are a group of local friends that host bar crawls in Colombia. We wanted to give foreigners and tourists a unique "locals' experience", so we started these bar crawls. This bar crawl consists of 3 local bars and 1 disco bar/club, all located in the historic center of Santa Marta. Centro Histórico is one of the most popular nightlife areas among locals and tourists in Santa Marta. We will meet at the first bar at 8:30 pm to congregate and converse. We will then proceed to the next bars every hour, finally finishing off at the rooftop disco bar/club by 12:15 am. Sometimes locals also come on our crawls, so you may have the opportunity to connect with some Colombians and practice your Spanish!

Itinerary
We will begin our tour in the center of the historic center of Santa Marta. Envenenadas is a great local bar with nice cocktails! Here you will receive 15% off the night menu!
Our second bar will be a local's favorite. El Mono Rojo, now called Blanco y Negro, always has a good party. The bar is one of the oldest in Santa Marta. On most weekend nights, there is also a live DJ. Here you will receive 2x1 cocktails and discounted beer if you choose to purchase a bucket.
Our third location will be possibly the most famous bar in Santa Marta. La Puerta is always packed by locals on the weekend. Here you will enter for free without a cover charge. The drink prices are also the best in the city!
Our final destination will be the rooftop disco bar of La Brisa Loca. Every weekend, tourists and locals flood to this rooftop to have a great nightlife experience. The environment is very social as most of the clients of La Brisa are tourists or expats. Here you will receive a discount cover!

It was a great way to meet people for solo traveler like me . Thanks to Natalia who was the most beautiful energetic and knowledgeable guide we’ve got taste of the night life in Colombia . Drinks dance talk laughter all night long . Thanks again Natalia .
Thank you for everything Natalia! It was impressive to see such a delirious crowd. The police presence also reassured us. A must to really know Colombian culture and local musical rhythms. Everything for everyone and of all ages. A nice lively brothel and good-natured. We have never encountered individuals who are ill-intentioned or intoxicated. Colombians seemed to us to be a proud and respectful people who know how to have fun without exceeding acceptable limits.
This isn’t the tour you want if you’re interested in partying. I’ve only given it 2 stars, and that’s being considerate as left after 2 stops. We met at a very loud small bar where we were really the only people and then walked past all the other bars to go to a rooftop that had no one on the roof. The tour asks that you meet at 8:30 but we didn’t leave the first stop till 9:15 as they kept waiting for 1 more person. You have to really connect with the bar crawl patrons as, from the two stops we did, that’s all you have to do e to talk with. I booked a Saturday night thinking it would be big but there were only 6 of us plus the organizer. While there may be some deals on drinks or other at these places, it seems like you could save your money and just walk the street. You did get some shots and apparently deals on any door covers but I didn’t stick around. It was painful. Service was very bad at ‘The Crab’ - Isn’t Red Bull the same in Spanish?
Hi Chris! We are so sorry you didn't like the music at Envenenadas. Unfortunately you are in Latin America, so latin music does get played at bars. We are also sorry that maybe some of the staff didn't understand you as most people speak only Spanish in Colombia!
It’s really Fun and we don’t care Security and our guide just wow!!! I highly recommend it a must do in Colombia the bars were great
A very good experience if you want to experience the party night of Santa Marta accompanied by locals and people from around the world.
Kevin was the man he was the best tour guide we could have had, not every bar was busy but everywhere he made sure we had the best time possible and was the best way to end our trip!
Amazing tour, very attentive guide and diverse bars. Great way to see the center of Santa Marta and the people. Brisa loca was good party
I really had no idea where to go out in Santa Marta. The center can be a little confusing so I am so glad I booked this tour. It was extremely fun and I really enjoyed the tour guide.
Nicolas our guide was very kind. I met people from other countries which is always nice! The bars we visited were a lot of fun with local people. Thanks guys!!
This was an awesome time out in Santa Marta. Paula was my guide. She was very friendly and even brought some of her friends out as well. The task of bringing strangers together and making them all have fun is so tough but Paula managed it very well! She did so well that we stayed out until 4am!
