    I will rate this place the worst because they decided to try to take me out of the club because "me being a men danced with another men". Then when I started to record because of it the security guy left me stay in. Just not in the VIP zone (which I paid for) because apparently "I was too drunk" and that was the reason. I'm sure I was not drunk enough when I started to record. It is so sad to experience this kind of racism in 2022 in a place with young generations.

    DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE FULL OF THIEFS! I went there with a group of friends on October 13, 2023. My girlfriend got two gold bracelets stolen and at least three other friends felt hands in their pockets casually reaching out towards their wallets. It is supposed to be a "fancy" place in Cartagena, but if you come from a place where this is not normal, you will not have a good time having to check out your belongings the whole night.

    Completely Insane Vibe. Highly recommend reservation /VIP. Hosted by owner made the whole experience that much better....

    Unless you like getting charged extra, don’t go here. Staff were slow and rude. I wish I’d just lit my money on fire instead of wasting it at this establishment. Decorations are nice.

    The is very nice but the area with air conditioning is super crowded, service is quite subpar as mentioned in other reviews. They def don't like let certain people. Security both times I've been have went have been rude. And literally will ignore you. Definitely overpriced y bit overrated. Need to improve service and possibly upgrade the music a bit. It's very crowded. And it's obviously a target audience they want in the club they don't make you very welcomed. Also 100mil to éter a club bar in ctg is quite ridiculous. Hard pass

    Complete tourist trap. They claim to offer deals for large groups but they flipped on their offer. We had a party scheduled here and it was a complete disaster. Forced to pay without any service or drinks. We paid well above the entry price per person only because they would not allow us to leave and were served nothing but trouble. Our group was 4 people short of the 15 promised to attend. There are many many better places to enjoy yourself in cartagena. Cartagena is a beautiful place to be except at this nightclub. Visit Epoca coffee which has great service and simple but delicious food. Stay well and travel smart!

    You want an overrated, overpriced and elite club? You'll feel right at home in la movida. I dont mind paying more for the according service, but when you buy a whole bottle of alcohol and the employees dont even bring you more ice or the club includs any kind of soft drink i feel ripped off. I will probably never return to this place. Interesting sign outside: no sex workers outside - but i only happen to see tourists at this place with colombian women...

    The vibe was really good (they have two rooms of different DJ/music and many performances. The only thing was the service. Bartenders weren't really nice and took very long.

  • 2/5 Ameet N. 5 years ago on Google
    Where do I begin? Let's see, only tourists were charged a cover, drinks are amazingly over-priced, and drinks are watered down. Now, I expect drinks at clubs to be expensive, but it's criminal to over charge and then water them down. To make matters worse, we were kicked off of our table when the "owner" arrived, which is strange considering it was the worst table in club. 1 bonus 🌟 for the music, which I'm sure was being played from a Spotify playlist.

    We had so much fun. We are all about 45-51 and at first there was going to be an issue because they will try to get you to pay a large amount for a table but if you pay for bottle service you are way better off. The music was very good crossover American and Latin we did have bottle service grey goose. 2 bottles four people 4 hours was more then enough. Definitely a place to consider for sure. It's not NYC but still fun

    The facilities are ok, but honestly the place is too crowded and doesnt have anything special. You can go to any other less crowded nightclub and enjoy as much. The bouncers are extremely rude, and the staff and bartenders are the worst (you have to beg to get a drink). To wrap it up, the place is outrageously overpriced. Not going there again.

    Although they charge to get in, and the drinks are somewhat expensive, it keeps the crowds down so that you have room to dance, and the vibe is energetic and friendly. Not your typical crowded tourist bar. For a more high-end, classy experience, visit La Jugada, managed by the same group.

    They didn’t let us in because we weren’t wearing long pants but shorts, although nobody wears them in Cartagena’s weather 🥵

    Bouncer was extremely rude and charged $15 American dollars per person for cover simply for entrance into the club... we declined and will not be returning.

    This bar has a very good atmosphere but between the cover and charging $20 for a tequila soda, in addition to the lack of customer service when further information was requested, I would not recommend this place.

  • 1/5 travis P. 1 year ago on Google
    terrible experience. paid 1200 usd for vip. didn’t even put our name on the list. took 45min to find the reservation. after they acknowledge, we had a reservation they told us to stay to 1/3 of the side of our table. Allowed 10 people to occupy the rest of side. They allowed the other group to invite 30 random people who couldn’t afford it and pushed us to the other side. Their friends pushed Three of my girlfriends hard made them fall over. And after we told security, they told us to leave. we explain the situation, and they soded with the paisanons. after speaking with management again they still said, you are welcome to leave.

    Nice dance club, very popular for a more mature crowd. Seems to be frequented by locals who know each other and the staff. There were at least two different DJs with different music, mix and club music. Drinks were double the typical prices -- same straight liquor, out of the same bottle, no frills, no thrills. 🤔

  • 5/5 Andrés V. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best nightclubs I’ve been to. A massive colonial mansion houses 3 nightclubs: an outdoor electrofunk lounge, a small hardcore electro room, and a huge Reggaeton nave with great mixing. A must go if you’re in Cartagena and enjoy partying.

  • 1/5 Razi M. 4 years ago on Google
    Packed with people, overpriced and they try to squeeze your pockets especially if you are a visitor. Avoid, many other good places

  • 1/5 steve b. 11 months ago on Google
    Worst Bar in Cartagena!!! Rip off Beter go to Alquimico wich is the 50 best bar in South America For the 1st visit we needed a reservation and couldn't come in. A few days later my gf called for a reservation and they said it was not needed but she gave my name to Luis. When we arrived our name was not on the list but he (Luis) said if we gave him 150000 pesos we could get in No words needed..

    So much fun! We went on a Wednesday and it's reggeton night. We had a blast and from 9-10 they had open bar for women. Food was also really good. And if you get tired and want to break for a bit the rooftop has amazing views

  • 5/5 Adam S. 10 months ago on Google
    Went here for the night club. 3 different DJs, and all were great. Went Friday night, was more empty and got crowded late. Saturday was much more crowded.

  • 5/5 Alvaro G. 10 months ago on Google
    Best VIP Club Section ! Recommended. Great value for money, pretty people, very diverse music styles, very safe.

  • 1/5 Iván P. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst place in Cartagena; liquor prices are extremely high and the staff make you feel like they are doing you a favor for letting you in, very rude people. DO NOT GO!

  • 4/5 Stephane L. 6 years ago on Google
    Great place to go dancing. On high season it gets a bit crowded. It has a deep house area and a crossover area. It has dress code, try to use closed shoes and no shorts

  • 1/5 Brian B. 7 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Cool vibe. Nice location with a rooftop view. However, the staff that works there is incredibly rude. Will not return to this bar simply due to the staff treating their customers so terribly. They were anything but friendly. I would give the service a negative star if I could.

😠 I’m disappointed in the service we have been having at crepes and waffles. Extremely slow, rude waitresses, they do not give you attention- plus there was a green worm in our food. Did not take it off our bill

👍 If the servers were only helpful and friendly I would give this restaurant five stars. The servers seem to have an attitude and an air of snootiness. Not acceptable. The food is well presented but it does take a while to get it. My Poblano crepe was quite acceptable. The mushroom crepe was super yum...
