Barranquilla in Oct.

Hi, this is my second post, as usual need some advice, I'll be going to Barranquilla in Oct. and decided on the American Golf Hotel, Per your responses to my first post. My new question is, what are their chica policies like, and what are some good clubs to frequent , that are relatively close to the American Golf........any advice on this is greatly appreciated.....Thx Tom

well i live in barranquilla so i can help you out a bit, seven is the best club at the moment its relatively close to your hotel, barullo, froggleggs and canta gallo are also good,clubs are relatively cheap comparing to US standards go sure to have a good time man.

Do a search on PBH and you will get several reviews about Hotel American Golf. I will never stay there again when I am in Barranquilla.

"The best hotel is Hotel Del Prado.....by far"

It is the most elegant but hardly the "best"

Okay, so you won't stay ever again at the American Gold, and the Del Prado is not the best; why don't you give the guy your recommendation, then?

Ciao! Gustav.

I guess there are lots of clubs like the one you just posted but to be honest with you I did not know much about Barranquilla except about the stuff you've been posting in the past years.
Thanks for sharing the other face of Barranquilla.

Mompi you're right, maybe i should explain.
My barranquilla, the one i grew up in and the one where i now spend my vacations is in the south, which is very very third world but LOTS of fokin fun, for me!!
Then you have north barranquilla, where you have your upper middle class and wealthy barranquilleros. That's the other half of curramba.
When you step outta the airport the first thing you see is the south. most people wanna get on that plane and return to their homes, not me.
Once you make it to the northern half of curramba is a different world.

Well, viejo Elmo, you certainly did help promote south Barranquilla, the lovely burras and Mexico in your posts.

Oh yeah, Chris. To enter Barullo on a wkd nite, 20 mil barras. Ridiculous for Colombia, esp.in BAQ. Too many other bars in the area to support such fuckery. Not even gonna comment on Seven again.

We chose to head down the street to Cantaleta for the 5 mil barra entrada. Had a great time. Heard very little of that electronica crap that the north is becoming known for. LOL!!! We had to tap out at both Bebos and Cantaleta on consecutive nites after a couple of bottles of whiskey and all nite dancing. Ended up at Javier's around the corner, after for cheap eats.

yeah, well. finally,... I might be going to the coroncho headquarters: BQ.
talked to my gf tonight, and she wants to meet up in Santa Marta. In the next few months, before the (hopeful) interview sometime in Dec or Jan.

I just hope I don't get stuck listening to that Head MF, diomedes diass. Man, that would ruin my trip for sure. Now, if I happen to see Shak (cause the UCLA FOOTBALL COACH IS probably gonna send her LYING ASS back to Colombia!)... maybe it will ease the pain ;)

Ciao! Gustav.

I´m not really a big fan of the "up-scale" clubs that appear on lacheca.com. They are very similar in price and style of music played, they are not bad but I find them very repetitive. Just depends what you enjoy I suppose.
I usually find the price of the place is inversely related to the enjoyment I have. I never tire of filling the crate under the table at the troja or "el triangulo".......

A nice place with no cover is the club on top of Hotel Barranquilla Plaza I think the name is Piso 24. Can see the whole city at night and it serves great food plus has live music at times, DJ at others. Worth a try no doubt.
