La Villa is the latest club to open in Bogotá, and the best if you are looking for somewhere playing western music, with Armandito, famous DJ of Armando Records plays on Friday nights

The décor is vintage, and the fit out Mediterranean with plenty of terrace space, antique furniture, a fountain and other cool features. Clientèle are friendly as are the various owners, some of whom are there most nights and will do their best to make you feel welcome

One of my fave clubs for the following reasons – great music – mostly funky western stuff, a roof terrace with heating where the music is loud enough to dance to yet not too loud to be able to talk, decent dance floor, friendly clientele
