Any bars or clubs have an 80s night in bogota?

Anyone know any bars or clubs that play The Cure, Depeche Mode, New Order, Culture Club etc....

Also any indie bars in town that play stuff like Postal Service, Broken Social Scene, Hot Chip, Jose Gonzalez etc...

Also after a short term rental one bedroom apartment around parque 93(this area only) budget $1k-1.5k usd per month.

There is an 80's bar called full 80's around calle 116. Its a good bar. There is also a bar called crabs that plays 80s rock live. it is on about 15 with 73 or 74. Its good Wed.

For that price you could probably get the vaggio aparthotels which are right next to zona rosa. google them here. There is also another aparthhotel which i like, which has two bedrooms, nice funiture, wifi, kitchen, maid and breakfast but cant remember the name. If you google ''aparthotels bogota'' here you will find it. It is also right next to zona rosa on calle 15, walking towards p 93 after the carulla supermarket.

There is one, small but is all 80's, you will see the videos too, here they play 80's merengue, salsa rock in spanish, the decoration is all 80's. i went there and i like it it brought me so much memories, it's in Techo, Kennedy but where the bar is situated it's not dangerous at all, it's close toPlaza de las Americas occidental.. there are lots of other bars around

What about that one Goth bar located near downtown? Wanted to wear my knee high goth boots down but knew it was going to be a pain with TSA taking them on and off and didn't want to lug them around in my bags. Life can be so cruel (jajajajaja)

1. Emo

Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.

I'm thinkin like Suzanne Vega, Jewel, Natalie Merchant, Edie Brickell, Lisa Loeb (Stay)??

There is also a bar down from coconuts on 82 (i think) that plays 80's. I have not been in but some friends go. Its upstairs on the right on the street before the Gotica turn off.

The rock garden on the way to atlantis also has a live band thursday and London calling in Usequen has live bands sometimes with rock and rool (maybe the new one in P 93 has them as well?

bit to vague for google purposes, thanks for trying to help though, im not to worried about laundry, i will just buy all new clothes out there if it becomes to expensive, seeing as im only there for one month it doesnt matter to much, suites real and viaggio both have breakfast.

i got offered aprivate apartment next to parque 93(might washing machine not sure) for half the price but think will take apart hotel option.

thanks and see you in full80s.

plus anyone know a reliable escorts site where pics match the people and price is reasonable, my chica wants to expirment :-)
