In business since:

Spelled by many as Buenavista because the business publishes itself as Buenavista in text and its logo as Buena Vista, this Salsa bar is located just one block from Parque Lleras, El Poblado, in the heart of the Zona Rosa area of the city of Medellín. It has a somewhat underground feel, where you can informally hear and dance to the rhythm of Classical Salsa and Son Cubano. If you are in El Poblado, it's easy to walk to, and if you are arriving from other parts of the city, public transport will get you within walking distance with little effort. You enter the bar through a small door that leads to the second floor, and it's a pleasant place to have a few drinks and enjoy the night with friends to the rhythm of Salsa. Dancing is between tables (there is no formal dance floor), and there's a balcony area for those who want some fresh air or watch others walking by. Visited by locals and foreigners, this venue opens from Wednesday to Saturday and closes at 2AM.
