Hip Getsemani centers on Holy Trinity Square, where laid-back groups gather to drink beer, listen to street musicians and snack on grilled arepas from nearby stalls. Lively pizzerias and casual bistros serving Colombian staples line the surrounding streets, which are also known for their vivid murals. Brewpubs, cocktail bars and the amed salsa bar Cafe Havana, keep the party vibe going till the early hours.
With a wraparound balcony overlooking the crowds in Plaza de la Trinidad, Restaurante Palenqueras is the best place to take in Getsemani’s most action-packed public space from a high vantage point. Colorful murals adorn the Afro-Colombian-themed bar and lounge, giving it a hip bohemian vibe. Drink specials focus on local fruit-based cocktails, and it also serves fresh fish specials and small plates meant for sharing.
