El Independencia de Colombia was July 20. Today is the Batalla de Boyaca -- when Santander won the Super Bowl against Spain in two hours. It only seems like everything is closed because everybody is shopping in Unicentro.

If you're female and don't want hassled by sleazy old gringos. Then I would miss out the Irish Pub!

If student bars are your thing, 1500 peso beers, basic etc. Take a walk around Universidad Javeriana area in Chapinero. A few bars around there that you might like. A couple of discotecas around that area that were jammed at like 3 in the afternoon. Good fun to be had up there, especially now the universities are back.

Yeah, San Roque is my personal favourite out of all those bars. Went there on a Sunday night puente once, and it was off the hook. Live dancehall MC as well as the usual crossover music.

There is a reggae bar a couple of blocks away, forget the name that I am told is good on a Friday night.

I also like La Trampa (percussion driven vallenato live music on Friday nights), on la 7 somewhere (cll 48?).

que nota!
