Medellin questions

They got mad casinos in Medellin.

Restaurants? Try Las Palmas has nice outdoor restaurants with a nice view of Medellin.

Bars? Sounds like Mango's is the place for you.

Agree with Morphus on Las Palmas. Not going to see a lot happening that time of the week but Las Palmas seems to be a good mid-week hang. Try Palmitas as it has a nice little bar that is usually fun. Also for someone with limited Spanish you probably want to hang in Parque Lleras as well. Once again pretty boring that time of week. I am there as well then and don't even expect to go out for more than a little dinner with my wife until Thursday night.

Strip clubs are another option if you just want to see a few faces and have a drink. Try Show San Diego and faces Dos for some high class adult entertainment.

The asaderos on la 80 are not close to where you'll be but they have very good food.

Asada Ochenta. Intersection of calle 30 and Kr 80 (la Ochenta). Meats. Try the Gato Negro wine. Cheap and pretty good.

If you like meat, try Asada la Ochenta. calle 30 con la 80. Try the gato negro wine. Cheap but good. All prices are resonable.

You`ll be staying next to Oviedo, one of the largest Malls in Medellin, there´s a Hato Viejo restaurant on the top floor (same floor as the cinemas) where you can find authentic colombian food. There´s also a food court where you can find all sorts of fast food restaurants but also a couple of ¨meat on the grill¨ restaurants with good food.

Walk to Avenida El Poblado, on the other side of Oviedo and go all the way to La Strada (about two blocks north), there´s a good casino there, but also some good restaurants upstairs, I recommend two restaurants there : Cazuelitas and Fuzion.

For bar and music definitely go to Parque Lleras, you can find there several good restaurants and bars around the park.

True! The best bars in Medellin are around Parque Lleras.

Habana Casino is right on Av. Poblado. If you walk out back from the Sheraton into the mall, up the first set of escalators, then up the next set of escalators, head right all the way till you get to the food court (you will actually be one floor above the food court), then head left till you end up outside with a bunch of shops. Walk to the main avenue by where Dominos Pizza is and you will see the Habana Casino. It's not especially large, but the atmosphere is friendly and they have poker tournies in the evenings.

Also mentioned above is the Casino that opened up at La Strada. I walked in there while they were still training the dealers, but the slots were open. This is the ground floor of a new office plaza and the Holiday Inn Express. La Strada has (from what I hear) some very fine, if high-end, dining options. Give it a try and let us know how you make out.

They said I couldn't play football I was too small / They say I couldn't play basketball I wasn't tall / They say I couldn't play baseball at all / And now everyday of my life I ball.
