    Great show but very pricey drinks plus cover. Expect to spend 35,000 cop per drink. Food is tasty and the live show is spectacular. Check out my videos.

    The admission price for two of ~$12 was not bad, esp since it included a free drink. They said the ladies would get 2for1, but did not do a good job (language barrier?) explaining that was only good for a few options. My date did not order the right option and asked for a whisky and water. We wanted basic whiskey but I later learned that they gave her a $15 shot. Since we were there for a few hours she had two, so the bill I was presented at the end was $30 for two shots. Then, when I went to pay, I was told the credit card machine did not work so I had to pay in dollars (since I did not have Columbian pesos). They gave me a really low exchange rate of 2500 to the $1, which is far below the 3000-3100 you get everywhere else. Finally, the “show” is about 10 minutes long. Then the next few hours consisted of the 5-6 dancers dancing with the audience. It is also very loud. I am not that old and this place is loud. Maybe you will like all this, but I thought I paid for a show?! After a few hours we left and never saw any “show” beyond the opening 10 minute performance. Maybe you will like all this, and can plan better (eg bring pesos, order more carefully, bring earplugs, etc) but we were disappointed. VictorB

    We had a wonderful time at 1968. Two of our party danced with the professional dancers when invited. The shows were an unexpected surprise. We would return and recommend. A con: the drinks. Unless we want a whole bottle of scotch, vodka or wine we couldn’t have a drink. Two of us had water for 3 hours. Not a great loss as it turned out. A drunk next to us attacked an older man in our party for an imagined appreciation of a married woman. We were so surprised that we failed to react at all. It was good that 2 of us were completely sober when the altercation occurred.

    It is a good place just to enjoy the dancing show. Not recommended to eat( food had Zero quality and plate was served cold). Drinks OK not to die for it. and service cold as the food . The dancing crew very friendly and willing to teach you how to dance.

    Spacious venue with ample dance floor. An important element of any late night spot is the sound system, and they have a great sound system. Slasa of all types and eras. If you want to get a sweat in or if you're learning to dance this is a great place in Cartagena. We did not pay cover and drink prices were comparable.

    Do the show only, not dinner and show. It's cheaper and you won't feel like you wasted too much money. Service sucks. Friday show. Waited to get my drink for an hour. Ordered 3 times and still took that long, while all the other tables were being serviced just fine. The show itself - is ok. I wouldn't go again but not bad to kill sometime.

    NOT recommended for meals and/or big groups We had a reservation for ~85 people. It was a train wreck. When we arrived, we requested water for everyone. It took over an hour to get water to everyone, and when they did deliver water, they put a few bottles on the table for everyone to split, but never brought glasses with ice. Our team ended up helping the wait staff deliver the water, glasses of ice, and the drinks. Our contract included an app, an entree and a dessert. Water, drinks and appetizers took almost 2 hours to be totally delivered, and it was mediocre at best. Some of the food was still frozen in the middle, and most of it was room temperature. At the 2.5 hour mark we had to start prepping to leave with the buses, and we requested that they cancel dessert and take it off our bill. They refused saying that we booked a package and they couldn't discount any of the food, but would remove the service charge. For an hour we spoke to Marcela, who brought in Rafael, and then another woman came over and also started arguing with us. After an hour of them changing what they were going to do for us, it was no longer worth the effort so we paid for all of the food, including food that was never delivered, and 50% of the service charge. Ultimately, when we called to book a big group for dinner and a show they should have told us they are not set up to handle it. I hate that they took the incompetency of management out of the server's tips. This was a truly terrible experience.

đź‘Ťđź‘Ť Great place for dinner and drinks with a view. The food and drinks were delicious, and very reasonably priced. It was nice to sit on the roof top, chill, listen to live music and have a few drinks. One of the best views around.

🫤 Nice place with good (very loud) music but I wouldn't reccomend going here if you are a foreigner. First off you need to pay 10k while local people don't pay anything. Then at the bar you get ripped of if you pay by card and then get asked for a tip afterwards. They don't let you see the amount they...
