Dos Carreras

Bogotá


Run by a Spanish–Colombian couple, this warmly lit bar offers a diverse selection of some of the best locally brewed craft beer, including three by the owners themselves under the name Rustica (pints COP$11,000). The tapas menu won’t disappoint.

Ambience gives the place its edge: heavy wood furniture and walls hung with etched wooden engravings by local artist William Torres. Weekends see poets, musicians and free-styling jammers entertain guests.
