El Barón

Why we recommend El Barón

The classic cocktail bar of Cartagena, and one that has set the benchmark since opening in 2013. El Barón sits right on Plaza San Pedro Claver with outdoor seating facing one of the most beautiful churches in the Walled City. The cocktails are among the best in the city, built around classic techniques with local Colombian ingredients and a rotating seasonal menu. Come in the evening, not the day — it's an outdoor bar and the daytime heat makes it a very different experience. On most weekend nights, a Michael Jackson impersonator will show up with a full posse of backup dancers and commit completely to the performance. It's as good as it sounds.

What We Love

  • One of the best cocktail bars in Cartagena, a benchmark since 2013
  • Unbeatable setting right on Plaza San Pedro Claver facing the church
  • Creative, award-winning cocktails with local Colombian ingredients
  • Herbs grown in the bar's own rooftop garden
  • Proceeds from select cocktails go to environmental charities
  • The Michael Jackson entertainer is genuinely spectacular
  • Great for kids in the evening

What to know

  • All outdoor seating with no A/C, avoid during the day
  • Gets busy on weekends, can have a wait for a table
