El Blue, One of Medellin’s oldest and still most popular bars
If you want to hear all the best rock music hits from the 80´s and the 90´s with a mix of electronic music this is the place. Enjoy a drink while you dance to the rhythm of classic hits and meet some of the friendliest locals around.
El Blue is probably one of the most popular bars for foreigners because of the distinct lack of Salsa, Vallenato, Reggaeton or any other form of local Latin music which is all pervasive in other parts of town and can sometimes get a bit too much if you’re not used to it. It’s also a place where you’re likely to meet Colombians with a similar taste in international rock music, and therefore a greater interest in meeting foreigners.
The interior has recently gone through a makeover but it’s still a no-fuss, relaxed and unpretentious crowd which can be a nice change of pace from the glamorous Poblado bars and clubs.
