Sonido Central – Cali’s Underground Electronic Club

July 15, 2017

For many years, the old hotel Aristi in downtown Cali housed a late-night to early-morning venue with electronic music called La Central. It was famous for being the place that you went once all the other bars else closed. The Aristi hotel was sold and the club closed before I never made it there, but luckily the guys behind La

Microbrewer Bogotá Beer Company makes it to Cali

Colombia has a long history of having a very poor selection of beer. Aguila, Poker, Pilsen and Club Colombia – lagers that all taste more or less the same, dominate 99% of the Colombian beer sales. They also have the same owner, the Bavaria brewery, owned by South African SABMiller

To me, La Colina is one of those places where you have to stop for a beer while in Cali. It’s a local watering hole, that has been in operation since 1942, which I’m pretty sure makes it win the title as oldest bar in the city, that’s still in

If you’re not in Cali looking for a beautiful Caleña it must be because you’re either gay or married. If you’re married, be careful. Temptations are many in this city. If you’re gay, here’s my guide to the gay nightlife in Cali. To be honest, I know nothing about the

As one of the oldest bars in Cali, Zaperoco has become an institution and one of the best places to listen to salsa music and dance in the city. I say dance, because the bar is far from the best place to go if you plan to hang in the

I’m biased. I met my current girlfriend and the mother of my two daughters at Martyn’s Bar in the spring of 2011, so the thought of the bar awakes great memories for me. That be said, from an objective standpoint, I still think that Martyn’s Bar is a great place! Here’s

Mikasa Bar is located in a villa in a residential neighborhood. I must haven driven by at least a dozen times, before one night when passing by with my girlfriend, I was told that there was a bar behind the subtle facade. Don’t be fooled by discrete exteriors. Behind the

This may be one of Cali’s best kept secrets. At least among foreigners. I’ve been 3 times and not once have I seen even the shadow of a gringo. But they are missing out. Delirio is spectacle and a show not to be missed. When I explain the concept of Delirio to
