Fodor's Expert Review Alquimico

A beautifully restored colonial home spread over two stories has been transformed into a cocktail bar and hangout for the trendy speakeasy-style crowd and is becoming a firm fixture on the Cartagena nightlife scene. The focus here is on well-crafted, punchy cocktails made from in-house rum infusions and local fruits, served up from an impressive four-poster bar dominating the low-lit first floor. Music tends to funky, international hip-hop and R&B grooves, and on Friday and Saturday the terrace opens up as a dance floor. It's closed on Tuesday.
