The Friday Night Bar Crawl in Santa Marta is a weekly guided tour that explores the vibrant nightlife of Magdalena's capital. This event typically takes place in the Centro Histórico, starting at 8:30 PM and visiting three local bars and one rooftop club.
If you prefer to explore on your own, these areas in Magdalena offer the best Friday night atmosphere:
The heart of Santa Marta's nightlife, surrounded by restaurants and bars like Oh la la La Puerta and La Azotea Disco Bar.
Offers open-air bars and a more relaxed breeze while still being central.
Known for its lively beach-side "rumba" and tours like the Night Rumba in Chiva, which is a mobile nightclub bus.
Would you like to book tickets for a specific Friday in March, or do you need recommendations for bars with specific music like Salsa or Rock?
