REVIEW · CHIVA PARTY BUS & NIGHT RUMBA
Pub Crawl in Bogotá
Three drinks, one easy night out. This Bogotá pub crawl is built for quick fun in Zona T, with free drinks and cover fees handled for you.
I love how the tour mixes choices for different drink styles, from craft beer to local liquor. I also like the tight group size, because it makes it easier to meet people and keep the night moving without waiting around.
One thing to plan for: the final club has a dress code (no shorts or flip-flops), so pack what you need and make it easy to get inside.

Why this pub crawl works in Bogotá

If you only have a day or two in Bogotá, a pub crawl is one of the simplest ways to understand the city’s nighttime rhythm without guessing where to go. This one is designed around a short route, so you’re not burning the evening in taxis or wandering.
The big value is that the night is structured. You get a guide, set stops, and you know where you’ll be spending the time. That matters when you’re in a new city and your goal is to enjoy yourself, not manage logistics.
Price and what you really get for $49
At $49 per person for about three hours, I look for two things: are the drinks real, and is the entertainment covered? Here, the answer is yes enough to feel like a deal.
You should expect:
- a craft beer tasting plus a full glass (or an alternative shot if you do not want beer) at the first stop
- a cocktail at the second stop
- nightclub entrance at the end
Even if you normally order fewer drinks, these inclusions cut down the most unpredictable part of a night out. Also, the tour price is for a guided experience, not just a list of bars, and that is what keeps things fun and on time.
Stop 1: MICROCERVECERIA BY BRUDER beer tasting and liquor swaps

The night starts at MICROCERVECERIA BY BRUDER, and the focus is craft beer. You get a beer tasting and a full glass of craft beer at the first stop, which sets a good tone early.
If beer is not your thing, you get options. The tour includes a shot of rum or aguardiente, and they also offer non-alcoholic cocktail options. That flexibility is a big plus, especially if you’re traveling with mixed preferences or you just want to pace yourself.
A practical tip: this is a tasting-style start, so take a slow first drink and chat. You’ll get more out of the social part when you are not rushing through the bar.
Stop 2: El Mono Bandido Zona T cocktails, with choice and attitude
Next you head to El Mono Bandido Zona T for a cocktail. This stop is more about variety than beer details, and the guide gives you different cocktail options that are available that night.
Just like the first bar, there are non-alcoholic cocktail options too. I appreciate that because it keeps everyone in the group included, and it prevents the awkward moment where one person is stuck with soda.
A detail I like from past guests: guides often keep the group engaged with games and conversation. That kind of energy can turn a simple bar stop into something memorable, especially if you are solo.
Other rounds worth ordering in Bogota
Stop 3: Federal Rooftop club night with cover included
You end at Federal Rooftop, one of Bogotá’s popular club options among locals. The idea is simple: you’ve had your drinks, you’ve met some people, and now the night continues with a club vibe.
Cover fee is included here, so you are not hit with an extra charge right when the dancing starts. It’s also a smart way to end, because if you want to keep going, you can. If you want to pace yourself, you still get that “I did the club scene” box checked without paying extra entry costs.
Dress code at the club, and why it matters
This tour comes with a real-world constraint: the club has a dress code. Do not wear shorts or flip-flops. Jeans, tennis shoes, and a shirt are the safe choice.
I think this is one of the most important things to know before you go, because it can ruin your night if you show up underdressed. If you are packing light, plan for one outfit you can wear to the club, not just what looks good for dinner.
The guide and the small-group format
This is capped at a maximum of 10 people per booking. That small size changes the whole feel. You are more likely to talk with everyone in the group, and the guide can actually manage the flow between stops.
From guide names I’ve seen in guest feedback, the experience often feels personal. Lina, Stephanie, Jenyfer, Nina, Nick, and Nico have all been mentioned as hosts who keep things upbeat and inclusive. People also call out how guides help solo travelers meet others, not just “move along to the next bar.”
One more reason the small format works: you spend less time waiting. For a three-hour night, that speed is part of the value.
Timing, meeting area, and how to plan transport

The tour starts at 9:00 pm and runs about three hours. That timing is good if you want to eat earlier, then head out when the city’s nightlife is fully turning on.
The tour is listed as near public transportation, which helps if you’d rather not rely only on taxis. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included in the base price, but you can upgrade for it. If you know you want that, it’s worth choosing the upgrade so you avoid the “how do I get home” scramble at the end.
Also, you should be ready for the fact that the last stop is a nightclub. In other words, after 11:00 pm, your best plan is to stay close to where the group ends, not to sprint across town.
Drink options and pacing: beer people, liquor fans, and non-drinkers
This crawl is designed to work across drink preferences. At the first stop, craft beer is central, but you can switch to rum or aguardiente if you prefer. Non-alcoholic cocktail options are available as well.
At the second stop, you get a cocktail, with non-alcoholic options again. That means you can still participate fully even if you choose not to drink alcohol.
The best pacing advice I can give: treat the first stop as the “warm-up” where you sample. If you keep your first drink slower, the rest of the night feels like fun instead of a blur.
Where this pub crawl fits best
I’d book this if you want a low-effort way to see Zona T nightlife in a short window. It is a strong pick for:
- solo travelers who want to meet people without joining a random bar queue
- groups who want guided structure plus free drinks
- visitors who like craft beer, or at least like trying different local options
It’s also a good choice if you do not want to research entrance fees and cocktail menus yourself. The whole point is that the essential costs are bundled.
If you hate late nights, dislike crowds, or know you will struggle with club dress code, you might prefer a smaller, daytime-timed tasting. But if you can handle 9:00 pm start times, this tour is designed for exactly that.
Should you book this Bogotá pub crawl?
If you like guided nights out, this one is an easy yes. The reason is simple: for $49 you get multiple drinks plus nightclub entrance, and the short route reduces the usual friction of nightlife planning. The small-group cap helps solo travelers connect, and the drink options make it flexible for mixed preferences.
Book it if you want a straightforward route to Zona T, starting at 9:00 pm and ending at a club where cover is included. Just come prepared with club-appropriate clothing, and plan how you’ll get back since pickup is optional.
