Barra 7 - Cocktail Bar — Restaurant in Cartagena

My fave bar in Cartagena: small, fun, vibes great cocktails, and excellent service.

Highlights: Service: upon arrival, they gave us water immediately and a bowl of fresh popcorn. They even kept them both filled. Carlos: bartender was stellar! So friendly, smiley, and welcoming. Atmosphere; a disco ball on one side of the room, fun sayings behind the bar, and walls full of what many visitors wrote. Few bar seats and few more along the wall and 2 tables upstairs. Music: DJ played a mix of upbeat Latin songs. Drinks: a list of a few specialty cocktails which were pre-mixed and some classic ones on the online menu. They were all great and many used clear large ice cubes. I enjoyed the classic daiquiri the best. Fun vibes: the best, made me so happy! People were grooving to the music and singing along at times. Clientele: seemed like a mix of local who knew the staff and a few visitors--mostly from Latin America.

Lowlights: When we came back on a Saturday, they were out of all specialty cocktails but a few and didn't get water until we asked--they were busier than Friday at the same time.

Highly recommend this bar for a super...

What a hidden gem in Cartagena. The cocktails absolutely slapped - particularly the watermelon margarita. The music in the bar was awesome and added to the atmosphere perfectly. They let you write on the walls which is such a cool touch- we wrote ‘Colombian birds are best #cock-of-the-rock G+C honeymoon 2025. The service was also amazing, they were very attentive and helpful. Leidy in particular welcomed us and was very friendly - she chatted to us about the local area and gave great drink suggestions. Also, banging side of popcorn with your drinks!! Would...

Don’t hesitate. Just go!

We tried to get a cocktail before dinner at Carmen and went to AQUIMICO but didn’t realize they didn’t open until 6pm. I like to drink and eat early. Started walking down and found this gem. Wow. Best cocktails in Cartagena. After a horrible martini at Movich hotel rooftop didn’t think I’d find anything close to a good cocktail.

This place is it! Yummy cocktails and a great atmosphere. Leidy was amazing! She’s so sweet and makes great cocktails....
