For conversations and drinking, Parque Poblado is way better than Parque Lleras.

Parque Periodista is good place to relax and smoke a dube too.

Periodista can indeed be good if you´re down with the grimy Centro style. Enjoy the doobie (which ain´t THAT good) with care for the occasional policía standing guard - ¡Chimbezaje! Weekends are often good at the places on the southern border of the U of Antioquia campus, lotsa youngsters and such.

Around the main square in Sabaneta can be fun, and the people are very friendly. Same same for p Envigado. If you go two streets over from p Lleres there is a disco called Santos (and a good one next door) which is a uni down to earth type crowd; best on Saturdays.

Up in Las Palmas; Circus, Palmitas and Babylon are good clubs, although, Palmitas did remind me a bit, on Friday, of a troqueto (sp) hang out!!

There is also a place out of the way called Vischure or something - I have not been but have heard its def an experience (sort of an art house disco theme) - someone here will have info on it.

Kukamakara is a ''chain'' disco that has great live music - its located sort of between p LLeres and San Deigo.

Medellin is a big city....walk any direction AWAY from Parque Lleras and you are bound to meet real interesting people! Go around any of the parks of Envigado, Sabaneta, Belen, Centro and you'll find good times. Stretch it out and head to Copacabana or La Estrella and you'll be overwhelmed with nice people and pretty girls. Medellin has a lot more to offer than Poblado...

Yeah but people come from all over Medellin to Poblado. No need to go other places in Medellin.

Not everyone comes from all over Medellin to Poblado. We never go there and I'd rather hang out at Parque Belen than Parque Lleras any day.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

The best most laid-back nightlife are the parties in the homes of people, from what I found. Barbeques and the like. Despite finding it a generally obnoxious place, Poblado has a couple of good spots, but Las Palmas is better. There are lots of places hidden away, you just have to find them.

But that being said, Medellin isn't exactly reknowned for its nightlife.

going back to the eighties, the private clubs in homes in las palmas were some of the best around. people installed bars and kitchens to accomodate their trade. no advertisement, just personal referrals.

once known, they became better 'hangs' than the clubs, as they were private and the clientele were quieter and more personable.

Thanks everyone. I'd imagine it would be pretty difficult to locate private parties and get invited. I guess I will just have to comb the streets to find a place I like.

If you spend enough time in Medellin you might get invited to some private parties by strangers. Just beware at you're own risk. I've been invited to lots of parties. A lot of rich Colombianos wanted to show off their wealth to me and invited me back to mansions where I would receive free food, booze and was introduced to classy Colombian women. I've also been invited to those private parties in Las Palmas where the music was blasting and everybody was falling down drunk...a lot of fun.

I personally have never been to MDE, but from my experience, private clubs where someones home has been remodel are nothing similar to a "lounge" enviroment which the OP is referring to. I met a cachaco last time in CTG through my cousins, cool guy. We were all at a bar by el Exito and invited him over to the pueblo. The following day he showed up, and we went to one of those "private parties" needless to say he had the time of his life. The costeñas girls would not let this guy sit down. He kept asking us "when is the next party" all night. jeje...cachaco rumbero.
