Location: Cra. 13 #83-47, Bogotá, Colombia

Every city needs that one place where nightlife meets culture — where a night out feels like more than drinking and dancing. In Bogotá, Revellion Cultu-Bar fills that role perfectly. It’s not just a restaurant or a bar; it’s a curated space where live music, Latin flavors, and colorful energy mix into something that feels alive.

Here, you don’t just order — you participate. Between the art on the walls, the performance-style service, and the constant buzz from the crowd, you get the sense that Revellion isn’t trying to imitate anything. It’s a celebration of Latin identity in all its messy, flavorful, musical glory.

Whether you come for cocktails, small plates, or late-night dancing, Revellion invites you to dive in — to laugh, eat, sip, and move until you forget what time it is.

Getting There – What to Expect

Revellion sits on Carrera 13 #83-47, right in the heart of Bogotá’s Zona Rosa — the same vibrant strip known for nightlife and weekend crowds. From the outside, you’ll notice its colorful lights and street art vibe, but it’s once you step in that the experience really begins.

The venue stretches across two levels, with the main floor hosting tables, the bar, and live acts, and the upper level offering a mix of lounge seating and semi-private areas. Getting there is simple by taxi, Uber, or even on foot if you’re hopping between nearby bars.

It’s a central, social location — ideal for nights that start with dinner and end long after the music turns up.

Fun Place, Fun Food & Drink

Revellion’s kitchen brings together Colombian ingredients, international techniques, and a clear goal: to feed you while keeping the energy alive. You’ll find plenty of dishes designed to share — empanadas, tacos, small plates — alongside heavier mains for when you want to sit and enjoy a real meal before dancing.

The flavors lean Latin with global touches: grilled meats, bright sauces, fried bites, and cocktails that taste like tropical travel in a glass. Prices are reasonable for the area — cocktails around COP 35,000–50,000, main dishes averaging COP 45,000–70,000, and bottles or combos for larger groups.

The menu is organized like a night’s rhythm: small bites to start, flavorful mains, and desserts you’ll remember the next day.

Appetizers — Satisfying Bar Snacks

You’ll probably begin with something fried, crunchy, or saucy — perfect for sharing around the table as the first drinks arrive. The empanadas (meat turnovers) are a must. They’re golden and crisp, filled with seasoned beef or cheese, and come with a small dish of ají (a spicy Colombian sauce).

Next, try the tequeños, Venezuelan-style cheese sticks that come hot and gooey. They’re simple, yes, but dangerously addictive with a cold cocktail.

The chicharrón bites — fried pork belly with lime and guacamole — are rich and perfect if you’re hungry. Pair them with a rum-based drink, and you’re in perfect rhythm.

For something lighter, go for the shrimp ceviche served in citrus and red onion — refreshing, tangy, and a good contrast to the heavier fried starters.

Everything here is built for sharing, so order a mix. Revellion’s early hours are about socializing, tasting, and easing into the night.

Main Dishes — Latin Comfort with a Modern Twist

Once you’ve warmed up, it’s time to dig in. Revellion’s mains balance Latin heartiness with modern presentation. You can choose between grilled meats, pastas, and creative seafood dishes — all plated beautifully, without pretension.

One standout is the lomo al trapo, a traditional Colombian-style beef tenderloin cooked inside a salt-coated cloth. It’s smoky, juicy, and sliced at your table with flair.

Another guest favorite is the shrimp rice, rich and creamy with coconut milk and cilantro — a tropical take on paella that feels right at home with a mojito.

The crispy chicken sandwich is also popular, layered with lettuce, pickles, and house aioli on a toasted bun. It’s messy in the best way.

If you’re vegetarian, you’ll find dishes like grilled vegetables with yuca purée and mushroom risotto, proving that Revellion isn’t only about meat and seafood.

What’s consistent across the board is balance — the food is flavorful without being heavy. You can eat well and still feel ready to dance afterward.

Desserts — A Little Sugar High

Revellion may be a party bar, but it doesn’t skip dessert. You’ll find a few indulgent options that fit the mood:

  • Volcán de chocolate (chocolate lava cake) — warm, rich, and made better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Maracuyá cheesecake — tart, creamy, and perfectly tropical.
  • Coconut flan — smooth, caramel-topped, and served in a petite portion that hits just right after a heavy meal.

If you prefer to “drink” your dessert, try one of the sweet cocktails or digestifs — the bartenders are happy to recommend something with Baileys, rum cream, or coffee liqueur.

Drinks & Cocktails — Where the Fun Really Starts

Revellion’s bar program is a mix of Latin classics, creative house cocktails, and bottles for groups who want to keep the night flowing.

Signature cocktails like the Revellion Mojito and Gin Tropical capture the house spirit — colorful, refreshing, and easy to sip while the music builds. The Passionfruit Margarita (Margarita de maracuyá) adds a local twist, combining tequila, lime, and passionfruit pulp for a perfect sweet-sour balance.

Other house favorites include:

  • Lulo Collins — gin, lulo fruit, and soda for a bright, tangy drink.
  • Caribbean Mule — rum, ginger beer, lime, and mint.
  • Berry Smash — vodka, red fruits, and a touch of basil.
  • Aguardiente Sour — a local twist on the classic Pisco Sour, using Colombia’s anise-flavored spirit.

If you’re going all in, the bottle service menu includes everything from Aguardiente Antioqueño and Ron Medellín to imported brands like Johnnie Walker Black, Don Julio Blanco, and Grey Goose.

Non-alcoholic options are available too — sodas, fresh juices, and mocktails that match the presentation of the alcoholic ones, so you never feel out of place.

The bartenders here have personality. They’ll chat, suggest pairings, and often put on a little flair show when the crowd is watching. It’s not a pretentious cocktail lab — it’s a fun, approachable bar with a creative edge.

Atmosphere — Steampunk For All

Revellion Cultu-Bar doesn’t look or feel like any ordinary bar. From the moment you walk in, you’re stepping into a full steampunk fantasy — a world built from brass, gears, and imagination. Think industrial Bogotá with a theatrical twist: pipes curling along the walls, hanging Edison bulbs, exposed steel, and intricate gearwork embedded into every surface. The décor walks a fine line between vintage and futuristic — like an engineer’s dream crossed with a time traveler’s den.

The lighting is warm and dramatic, mixing amber glows with soft shadows that make the metallic accents shimmer. Around the room, you’ll spot custom pieces — old clocks, typewriters, gauges, and art installations that hint at stories from another era. Even the furniture leans into the theme: dark wood, leather chairs, and metal-rimmed tables that look built to last.

Music adds another layer to the experience. Early in the evening, you’ll hear mellow lounge tracks and Latin jazz, creating an easy atmosphere for dinner and conversation. Later, the tempo rises. DJs or live acts blend reggaeton, house, and crossover beats, transforming the steampunk haven into a dance floor with attitude. The shift feels seamless — one moment you’re sipping an Old Fashioned, the next you’re moving under spinning lights that reflect off copper pipes.

Revellion’s crowd is a mix of creative locals, travelers, and groups of friends who love places with personality. It’s not pretentious; it’s expressive. You’ll see people taking photos with the wall art or the bar’s mechanical props, but you’ll also find plenty who just want a good meal and a better drink in a memorable setting. The dress code matches the vibe: stylish, smart-casual, and a touch bold — think boots, dark jeans, and statement accessories rather than formal wear.

What stands out most is how the steampunk theme doesn’t feel forced. It’s not decoration for decoration’s sake — it’s part of the story. The lighting, sound, and movement all build on it, creating an environment that feels cohesive and alive. Even the staff lean into the aesthetic, with their outfits and energy reflecting the bar’s theatrical tone.

If you’re looking for a spot in Bogotá that blends nightlife with design — something with edge, imagination, and warmth — Revellion nails it. It’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time, surrounded by gears, laughter, and good music. Whether you’re there for cocktails, dancing, or just to see what the city’s creative side looks like, this steampunk playground delivers a night you won’t forget.

(Almost) Ideal

Revellion nails most of what it sets out to do, but here’s how it could go from great to exceptional:

What works beautifully:

  • Atmosphere: Fun, immersive, and visually striking.
  • Music: Well-mixed, energetic, and true to Bogotá’s nightlife spirit.
  • Food: Flavorful, accessible, and perfect for sharing.
  • Staff: Friendly, fast, and tuned in to the vibe.
  • Balance: It’s lively without feeling overwhelming.

What could improve:

  • Menu clarity: Some dishes’ translations or descriptions could be clearer for international visitors.
  • Noise control: On busy nights, conversation can get tricky; small sound adjustments or acoustic panels could help. 
  • Bar wait times: A second bar or dedicated order zone during peak hours would smooth service.
  • More mocktails: The current selection is basic; a few signature non-alcoholic drinks would make the menu more inclusive.
  • Extended seating options: A small rooftop or outdoor terrace would perfectly complement the club-style interior.

None of these take away from the core experience — they’re just refinements for an already solid concept.
