A lively jaunt through Bogotá’s best nightlife spots, this Saturday Night Bar Crawl in Bogotá offers a fantastic way to experience the city’s vibrant scene for just $25.

Starting in the trendy Chapinero neighborhood, known for its energetic bars and youthful crowd, this 4-hour tour takes you through a mix of historic and modern venues, including a converted house bar, an iconic disco, a secret local club, and Latin America’s biggest nightclub. Led by friendly guides, you’ll enjoy free covers, two-for-one cocktails, and the chance to connect with both locals and fellow travelers.

What really makes this experience stand out are two things: the opportunity to visit some of Bogotá’s most iconic nightlife venues and the chance to practice Spanish with locals in an informal setting. The tour’s structure allows you to sample different atmospheres—ranging from a cozy house bar to a pulsating mega-club—without rushing.

On the flip side, a consideration for some might be the late-night schedule—it ends around 12:30 am, which might be late if you’re looking for an early night. Also, the price at the final club (Theatron) isn’t included, so budget accordingly for drinks or cover charges there.

This tour is best suited for young adults and travelers eager to socialize, explore Bogotá’s nightlife authentically, and meet new people. If you enjoy a mix of history, music, and lively atmospheres, this experience delivers on all counts.

An In-Depth Look at Bogotá’s Saturday Night Bar Crawl

For more beverage-focused experiences, here's what we've covered in Bogota

Start in Style at 58 by House: A Trendy Converted Home

The night begins at 58 by House, a new and stylish bar housed in what used to be a private residence in Chapinero. This setting adds an intimate vibe that contrasts nicely with the larger clubs to come. Here, you’re greeted with 2×1 cocktails, making it easy to kick off the night with a drink in hand without breaking the bank. The relaxed one-hour initial meet-up is perfect for chatting with fellow travelers and your guide, who in this case is often Liz, according to reviews.

This venue sets a friendly, laid-back tone for the evening. It’s one of the things we love—the way it balances a modern, fresh environment with the historic charm of its original house structure. Plus, the free drinks are a bonus, helping you ease into the social scene.

Disco Jaguar: Bogotá’s Historic Nightlife Landmark

Next, the tour transitions into Bogota’s nightlife history with Disco Jaguar, an institution that’s been around for decades. Recognized as one of the city’s first clubs, it exudes nostalgia while still being lively. You get free entry, which is a significant value, considering the typical cover is about 25,000 COP.

Expect a lively crowd and a classic disco atmosphere—think dance floors, neon lights, and a DJ spinning tunes that keep everyone moving. The hour here allows you to soak in the history while getting a taste of Bogotá’s enduring nightlife culture.

A quote from a recent guest sums it up: “Garbriel F called the hosts really friendly and hospitable, making it a fun way to meet new friends and learn about Colombia’s night life.” It’s these authentic interactions that make the experience memorable.

Tejo Turmequé: Hidden, Authentic, and Fun

The tour then takes you to Tejo Turmequé, a favorite among locals but not so easy for travelers to find. This secret spot is packed on Saturday nights, offering a lively, energetic vibe. Entering for free, you’re immersed in a truly local experience—an excellent chance to see how Colombians really enjoy their weekends.

You might find yourself trying the traditional game of tejo (though not necessarily on this tour), but even just soaking up the atmosphere is worth it. Guests have shared that “this club is absolutely packed and so much fun,” and that “you will have a chance to connect with locals,” making it a highlight for those wanting an authentic taste of Bogotá nightlife.

Theatron: Latin America’s Largest Nightclub

The grand finale is Theatron, reputed to be the biggest club in Latin America. With about 15 different environments and a capacity for over 1,000 people, it’s quite the spectacle. The cover here is roughly 55,000 COP on Saturday, which isn’t included, so budget for drinks and entry.

You’ll be dropped off here for about an hour, to dance, chat, or just soak in the vibrant, chaotic energy. Many reviews praise Theatron for being “extremely fun” and a “unique experience,” though it’s more about the lively environment rather than a refined night out.

It’s worth noting that this late-night destination offers a stark contrast to the earlier, more intimate venues. If you’re looking for a high-energy, social experience with a broad spectrum of music and atmospheres, Theatron delivers.
