Bars and clubs in one evening, drinks included at the first stop

A Thursday night bar crawl in Cartagena's Centro Historico takes you through four local venues in the city's most active nightlife district, led by Colombian hosts who built these crawls to give visitors a locals' experience. You'll spend an hour at the first bar, then move to the next three venues on an hourly schedule, finishing at a club by 12:15 am. The crawl includes drink promos at Barra 7, a discount at XO Rooftop, and free entry to two clubs; a live guide speaks English and Spanish. Minimum age is 18, and a dress code applies—no swimwear, sandals, shorts, hats, sportswear, sunglasses or sleeveless shirts.

The Experience

You meet at Barra 7, a local bar in the historical center, at 8:30 pm. This is where the group congregates for the first hour, and you'll get a promo that covers a beer, shot, and cocktail—the only drinks included in the crawl itself, so budget for the rest of the night. Barra 7 has well-priced drinks and the kind of atmosphere that sets the tone for what's ahead.

From there, the crawl moves to XO Rooftop, a bar-club known for some of Cartagena's best local cocktails, where you'll get 10% off your tab. Next is Casa Palenque, a popular local club that fills up on Thursdays, and your entry is free. The final stop is Seven 7 Times, the most famous club in the city, with seven different rooms inside and free entrance for crawl participants. You'll finish around 12:15 am. Because locals sometimes join these crawls, you may end up talking to Colombians and get a chance to practice Spanish alongside other travelers.

The walk between venues is part of the tour duration, and you'll be moving through Centro Historico, the neighborhood where university students and tourists concentrate their nightlife. A live guide leads the group in English or Spanish, keeping everyone together and handling the logistics of entry and timing. The dress code is strict—pants and closed-toed shoes are required; no swimwear, sandals, shorts, hats, sportswear, sunglasses or sleeveless shirts.
