Medellín Sports Bar — Restaurant in Medellín

My buddies and I were going to Colombia for a boys vacation that was paid for by my company as one of the prize destinations. The only downfall was being 1000 thousand miles plus away from everything related to NFL time in Dallas. Growing up it was a religion and this post may be dramatic but thats how Texas football is. I searched long and hard for a place to watch the game in our ten day boys adventure, went to Poblado at first then realized we had to probably give up hope of being in a spot similar to around Arlington were we watched the games since 2008 together. Right when i was about to lose hope I found Medellin Sports Bar and it was a game changer it was day 3 of the trip and a Thursday. We all went to check it out to see how it was going to be good come Sunday for the Cowboys game. It was a good environment, super chill owner and actually raised in Texas plus an American so the boys hit it off quick. Needless to say we are now on our 3rd trip to Colombia and this is the go to spot for anyone wanting a true American Sports bar feel and great food. Anyone that is in Medellin for a short or long stay come in and see for yourself its a good friendly environment and the bar tenders are easy on the eyes as...

Medellin Sports Bar is hands-down the best spot in town! The owner, Joe, is there most of the time, ensuring everything runs smoothly. He’s incredibly attentive, personable, and truly cares about his customers.

A special shoutout to Ana, one of the bartenders—she’s the sweetest and absolutely the best bartender in Medellin. On top of that, she’s also the DJ once in a while, and she knows how to keep the vibe fun and lively. Her friendly demeanor and excellent service make every visit even better.

The food? Simply delicious! The burgers are absolutely mouthwatering, and the wings are the best in Medellin—crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Whether you’re grabbing a bite while watching a game or just hanging out, you won’t be disappointed.

Speaking of games, they televise all the sports on big screens, making it the perfect place for fans. They even have a Texas Hold’em poker game you can join—it’s so much fun!

Did I mention how good the food is? This place has it all: great vibes, amazing staff, and top-notch food. My highest recommendation. Love this place!

Thank you, Joe!...

I came here since I heard they would show sporting events from the U.S. I thought I was lucky when the staff found the game I wanted to see and put it on the TV by where I was seated. As I am watching the game the owner, an American, walks in and demands his staff to change the channel on the TV I was watching. He said I could watch my game on another TV. Apparently it was the only TV where he could access a game he preferred to watch.

Not too big a deal except he was curt an unapologetic about asking me to move elsewhere. I asked him what was the difference between the different TV's and he said "you don't have to stay." It was clear that my patronizing his business was not high on his list of priorities. I decided to leave and as I was paying my bill he said sarcastically "adios amigo" to further make the point he was prioritizing his own needs over a customer.

Based on how the owner treated me, I wouldn't recommend coming here. Besides, it's best to support local businesses rather than line the pockets of someone like him. He is proof that money does not...
