PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Taylor WallaceMy goto co-working spot in Medellin; sometimes a little crowded as a LOT of folks seem to have permanent work stations BUT their relationship with groups like Wi-Fi Tribe the Remote Year (RIP) mean there’s almost always free empty space they leave to account for those groups who aren’t always in town.
The downstairs bar has a banging happy hour and there are a lot of sweet amenities in the building itself (like a tattoo parlor & a teeth cleaning office!)
2. Carmen
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceWorth the wait, cost, hype, you name it. Super tasty, recommend going during lunch if it’s feasible to beat the crowd & to get to enjoy the beauty of the venue.
3. Café Cliché
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceGood Coffee, stable Wi-Fi, and kind owners open to meet up, groups Pomodoro work sprints, etc
4. Fuerza y Figura
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceMedellin Pole Studio! This studio is no joke! Very kind & skilled instructors. If you’re on the fence about your skill level, err on the conservative side and take the lower level class.
Spanish isn’t a MUST but it will definitely add to your ability to maximize the wisdom of the teachers.
5. The Click Clack Hotel Medellin
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceLove to work from here and people watch; both a covered work space by the cafe and tables in the courtyard type area, both great for working!
*Also*
AMAZING rooftop bar with a super chic clientele and decent drinks, though they are quite expensive for Colombia…And don’t fall in the pool. The walkway can be a little tight in places 😛
6. Bao Bei Cocina Asiática Contemporánea
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceHands down the best Bao I’ve ever had in my life. Including all of asia.
Small place & they don’t take reservations so come early and hungry or bring a few roadie drinks to keep you company while waiting for a table to open up.
Everything they make is good. But my favorite: Korean Fried Chicken Bao 😍
7. Betty's Bowls
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceFavorite Post-Work Out Spot for aggressive Açaí Bowls, shakes or salads.
Incredibly kind owners and their dogs are so freaking cute
8. Black Dog Club
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceDecent drinks, fun place to start a night out. Can get really crowded and is often included in Pub Crawls so plan accordingly
9. 37 Park Medellín | Restaurante Bar
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceGreat place to drink (or eat) with huge groups of friends. Offering both indoor & outdoor seating, this is definitely the kind of place you go to planning to pre-game and can easily spend a whole night. They also sell drinks in buckets so…there’s that…
10. Envy Roof Top
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceMixed Feelings adding this one to the list…it’s definitely a popular destination as far as roof bars go and I’ve heard great things. That being said, they (the security) can kind of be dicks about it. They have an ‘list’ that may or may not actually exist, always seem to be at capacity, no matter the time, and never have clear instructions on how to get in “following the rules”
*The Pool*
The roof top pool is insta gold and, if you go to the bar during the day, you cans sneak over pretty easily to snap some awesome pics
11. Chupitos Medellin | Bar Parque Lleras
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceGreat shots and awesome music 😂 What more could you want
12. El Agite
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceProper Night Club, open on weekends and playing Reggaeton, dancehall, & hip hop
Cover (should be) about 20,000 COP
13. Vintrash
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor Wallace3 story venture with Ruin Bar vibes… a fun range of musical offerings, a pool table somewhere… fun place to come out to dance or to meet new people.
14. AMIgo, compinchería
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceNo frills place in Laureles for coffee and full day post up. The internet can have the slightest hiccups but, if not on calls or doing hi touch, work, great spot and kind staff.
15. Rituales café | Tienda de café especial, Tostadores de café, café de calidad, café en Medellín, "Somos el café del barrio La Sierra", Café y brunch
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceAwesome cafe/work place. Plenty of tables, outlets, and a ton of greenery 😍
16. WeWork Espacios de Oficinas Amobladas & Coworking
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Taylor WallaceClassic WeWork; multi-leveled, affordable hot desks, ample space and zones to work in with a sweet rooftop space!
