From the swarms of beautiful women to the always-booming Parque Lleras nightlife. Medellin always delivers the most interesting nightlife experiences you’ll ever come across.

Here at Medellin VIP, we want to give you a 2016 guide to the best nightclubs and places to hang out when the sun sets.

Medellin Nightlife Disclaimer

Now, before we begin, the nightlife out here is different from what Americans see.

With Miami as the exception, we doubt you’ll find hotter girls anywhere else in America. Even in Miami, women are stuck up and interested more in seeing what rich guy they’ll bag as opposed to having a good time. We bet you’d much rather have a Medellin experience.

Anyway, nightclubs in Medellín are a great way to learn about the culture. So before we begin with our list of best nightclubs in Medellín, we want you to keep in mind the following pointers.

• Women tend to travel in cliques. Groups of both guys and girls make the pick-up game a little more difficult.
• Don’t think because you’re foreign, you’ll be approached by women.
• You’re in Colombia, a Spanish-speaking country which means most of the music played at nightclubs is Latin Music. This is merengue, salsa, bachata and reggaeton, lots and lots of reggaeton.
• A foreigner that dances is worth 10 that doesn’t. So if you can dance that might help ease the whole language barrier problem.

If this is your first time in Medellin and want to venture out and discover on your own. This list will help you as we will only include nightclubs that are in the Poblado sector of town.

That will make the commute not only quicker but only a short walk or cab ride away. So without further ado, here are the best nightclubs in Medellin.

Gusto Nightclub: One of the Best Nightclubs in Medellin Colombia

If you find yourself in the Parque Lleras nightlife area with a group of friends.  If you want a great nightclub with a great mix of music, amazing lighting, and friendly staff. Don’t think twice and head over to Gusto Medellin.

Located right in the middle of Parque Lleras (above the Medellin beer factory). A club that is big, colorful, and different from the tightly crammed nightclubs where all you can hear is the music from adjacent clubs.

There is usually a 30k ($8) cover fee on the weekends. But once you get off the elevator on that second floor and you’re welcomed by one of their friendly staff members. You’ll see this club is similar to the type of club you’re likely to find in New York or Miami.

There is usually a good combination of eligible single girls along with escorts looking for a good time. Be sure to brush up on your Spanish and give Gusto a try.

Location – Calle 9A #38-26 Parque Lleras

Cover charge – Sunday – Wednesday free entrance, Thursday – Saturday $30,000 ($8 USD)

Sixttina Nightclub

In a shopping center called Rio Sur located across the street from Oviedo shopping mall. There is a whole new world to discover. Think Parque Lleras nightlife but crammed into 1 building where the city’s elite come to work out, eat, drink, and party and you’ve got Rio Sur.

The first of Rio Sur’s nightclubs featured on this list is Sixttina and it is one of the city’s most visited clubs among the city’s elite.

Sixttina is on the 7th floor of Rio Sur and hosts some of the best parties with some of the city’s (and region’s) best DJs. While catering to a nice blend of tourists looking to go beyond the noisy Parque Lleras and the city’s upper-middle class.

If you find yourself in Sixttina, expect to see models and all sorts of people from Colombian showbusiness. You’ll also notice that bottle service is a bit more expensive (expect to pay about $130 per bottle). The pick-up game is a bit different as well. Not to say you can’t pick up girls here but you have to remember that you’re now in a club where money is not an issue for the women.

Location – (Rio Sur) L-719, El Poblado #6 Sur-26

Cover charge – $20,000 ($6.50) or $25,000 ($8.00) if you want access to both Sixttina and Kukaramakara.

Kukaramakara

Across the popular Sixttina, we have Kukaramakara. The city’s go-to spot for live music from great bands and a great party-like atmosphere.

Go to Kukara if what you’re looking for is a great place to go with a co-ed group. Or want to listen to great Latin music from a great band singing merengue, salsa, and reggaeton? A great place for drinks that turn into an embarrassing sing-along.

Expect to pay a little more than you would at clubs in Parque Lleras nightlife. But if you want to impress a date and go to one of the city’s top clubs, you can’t go wrong with Kukaramakara.

Location – (Rio Sur) L723, Av. El Poblado #6S – 26

Cover charge – $20,000 ($6.50) or $25,000 ($6.00) if you want access to both Sixttina and Kukaramakara.

Envy Rooftop

If you’re looking for the city’s most talked-about restaurant/bar among travelers. Be sure to hit up Envy Rooftop Bar at the Charlee Hotel in Parque Lleras nightlife. Envy is the perfect lounge bar to have a farewell party with your group of friends and the women that tend to be up there are nothing short of amazing.

The club/bar is on the 17th and 18th floors of the Charlee Hotel since its opening back in 2010. It’s been a hub for one of the best places to hang out, eat some great sushi and have a drink while listening to lounge music.

Many events are hosted here such as fashion shows, and graduation parties. Not to mention, every Wednesday night they have a live salsa band playing until about 1 am. Might not be your ideal party ambiance but if you want a hip, high-end place to bring a date or to hang out, try Envy Rooftop.

Location – The Charlee Hotel, Parque Lleras – Calle 9A #37-16

Cover charge – No cover but minimum 1 bottle per table

Medellin Nightlife with Medellin VIP

Nightlife in Medellín won’t be as crazy as you would expect it to be because remember, this isn’t a party-oriented city like Jaco, Costa Rica, or Las Vegas.

You won’t have a crazy club to go to on the earlier days of the week so don’t be upset if clubs are empty on Mondays or Tuesdays. Thursdays tend to be ladies’ night so be sure to hit up clubs such as Babylon or Bendito Seas in the Parque Lleras nightlife area.

The best days to go out are Fridays and Saturdays and even some Sundays (when the next day is a holiday, there tend to be a lot of those here).
