Club de Tejo 76 — Attraction in Bogota, Capital District

I called to book and I recommend people to do it on weekdays and definitely for the weekend that is their most popular time. Paying one hour is US$12 (2023) and then you can choose what to drink and eat as you play. It’s a place where drinking beer is expected so don’t bring kids. We ate a picada (US$6) that is a dish with assorted meat, assorted potatoes, yuca, plantain, chorizo and morcilla. No options for vegetarians or vegans except for the potatoes, baked plantain and yuca, but I believe you can bring food from outside if you’re a vegetarian. Ask in advance. Anyone can play the game and the idea is to score 21 points by throwing the steel disc (puck). Try like in bowling which puck suits you better. The heavy ones are a good idea as you have more chances to hit the center of a board filled with wet clay where someone has placed four triangular paper pouches filled with gunpowder called mechas. The idea is to throw the puck trying to land at the center or in a way that hits the triangular mecha and lands in the center because you get 9 points. Anyway a person will explain the rules of the game. In the end it’s about spending quality time with people and talking and listening to music. Tejo or turmequé was invented more than 500 years ago. It’s like when you play skeeball, or cornhole or horseshoes. At these places they also have other games called RANA (frog) or BOLI RANA. Ask for them and they’ll explain you how to play. They’re quite popular and groups play and bet money so they winner doesn’t have to...

I had a mixed experience here: I read online that you can play as long as you keep ordering drinks so I was surprised when the guy at the front counter said the cost to play was $50k/hour, not including drinks (there were 2 of us and the place was empty). When I asked about the drink-for-play rule he said I would have to buy a minimum of a crate of beers, which costs $39k. So it costs less to play by buying a crate of beers than just pay by the hour with no drinks, which makes no sense. On the positive side, the facilities were good quality and one of the workers kindly explained the rules of...

For context, its the first time I've been to a Tejo club. Loved it. I'm a gringo and inexperienced so they suggested we play upstairs at the smaller court. VERY loud (to be expected at any Tejo place). Offers simple food to snack on and cheap beer. Had a great worker there who explained everything very carefully in English that was pretty good. Tips: the game is free but you have to order a munimum number of drinks (usually acrate of beer). The expectation is that, when your drinks are done, so is your tejo games). Was busy on a weekday night so...
