Best-of list
The 10 best after work bars in Bogota, from Usaquen institutions to Chapinero spots. Aguardiente, spritz and where the city unwinds. Updated 2026.
The short answer
10 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Bogota knocks off late and drinks aguardiente, the anise spirit that fuels most after work nights across the city. The action splits between the polished blocks of Usaquen, the bars of Chapinero and a few old town institutions. We picked ten rooms for the end of the working day.
Our pick leans on places that pour the local spirit honestly rather than dressing it up, with a couple of cocktail rooms for variety. None of them ask you to dress up. All of them know how to start an evening.
