Hey....
Wondering if someone can answer this question for me.
There is a Havana Club in Cartagena in Getsemani with a bunch of black and white pics of cuban musicians. Does anyone know the exact address and phone number of this place? Also, there is a bar in a fort going between getsemani and manga over by the convention center. Does anyone know the info and name of this place? Thanks!

There are stairs up into the fort which now serves as a restaurant/bar. The view from the fort is toward Club de Pesca and Boca Grande. They often have music late at night blasting until the early morning hours. I'm told the name of the bar is "Casa de Cervesa". It comes highly recommended.

pedro (☼Travelguide writer) says on Dec 27, 2007, 17:01: You could also try out near La Boquilla beach and the adjacent beach closer to the city. This is a very primitive fishing village type atmosphere (complete with slums) thats rapidly being developed. Try it on a Sunday afternoon (sound system only, no live music unless you get very lucky).

bartolo_colon says on Dec 28, 2007, 03:21: A typical weekend night should go something like this: wake up around 11 PM, go eat fried salchichan and a couple burgers on the street (greasy food will insulate your insides for the night of heavy drinking ahead) head over to Cafe Del Mar for a cocktail, don't eat anything, the food is terrible. Catch a taxi to La Dolce Vida and gamble until you have a couple hundred thousand pesos, to finance the rest of the evening, and get a couple free drinks while your at it. Head next door and have a couple more drinks, chat up a couple of the ridiculously hot woman, but absolutely do not leave with one. Catch a taxi to La Triplatera. buy a little bottle of Ron Medellin, the girls that were just at LDV will soon be showing up, feel free to chat them up and waste there time, but dont settle, just keep getting comfortably intoxicated. By this time, it should be geting late, stroll over to Giomata, you should be quite buzzed by this point and have a couple girls in tow. Lose them once you are inside, and switch to beer. Get annoyed with the techno music, and stumble your way over to the Miami Club, this little gem is like heaven at 5:00 in the morning, the last of the LDV girls are here, all manner of illicit activities are transpiring around you. Spend the last of your gambling winnings on something nice....... Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here! 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Parrothedd says on Dec 28, 2007, 04:25: Casa de Cerveza is only open at night. Not sure about credit cards but I would have a bunch of pesos just in case. "The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer." Jimmy Buffett 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

tompower says on Dec 28, 2007, 06:22: Anyone know if this place is still open? La Carbonera I've been there a few times but they won't let me bring my colombian girl in. Even my wife. Because I think they have a problem with Old gringos with hot local girls. Anyone had the same experience or is it just me?

Chelesupercono says on Dec 28, 2007, 06:27: I find that most of the Bars in the Old City a bit boring and you never see the real beauties that live in the barrios....too bad, the rest are pre-pagos or depending on where you go the rich elite..... never go to bed with someone crazier then you are, you will do it and you will regret it....... 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

bartolo_colon says on Jan 14, 2008, 00:54: Your on it D-man ( except for babillas, cant stand that place, pretencious cunts, no hookers and expensive drinks)....There is also a huge club out at by the mall close to barrio espana that is worth a shot on saturdays only. No prepagos, no gringos, cheap liquor and dancing, and you actually have a chance to chat up non hooker girls. Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here! 0 funny, 0 helpful. |
