Bada Boom
Where the Locals Actually Go
Here's the thing about La 33: it's a buffet of bad decisions. You've got your Luna Luneras, your Fase Dos, your places where gringos go to feel like they discovered something. And then you've got Bada Boom, which is where Colombians go when they don't feel like being surrounded by guys named Chad who just discovered reggaeton.
The crowd here runs about 70% paisa, 30% budget traveler who did their homework. That ratio matters. It means the prices stay reasonable, the hustle stays minimal, and nobody's trying to sell you a $500 bottle of champagne that tastes like fizzy regret.
Shows run every 15 minutes. Fifteen. Minutes. This isn't a place where you wait around wondering when something's going to happen. Something is always happening. It's like a conveyor belt of entertainment. You finish your beer, there's a show. You order another beer, there's another show. The efficiency is almost German.
The sweet spot here is the vibe. Bada Boom isn't trying to be upscale—no velvet ropes, no dress codes, no bouncers deciding if your sneakers are acceptable. But it's also not a dive. The chairs don't stick to you. The bathroom has soap. The drinks are actually what you ordered. It's the Goldilocks zone of strip clubs.
Prices won't destroy your wallet. Beers are cheap, lady drinks are reasonable, and nobody's running complicated scams involving "special VIP rooms" that cost more than your Airbnb. You know what you're getting, you know what you're paying, and everyone leaves feeling like they got a fair deal.
Is it the most beautiful club on La 33? No. Is it the most famous? Also no. But it might be the most honest. Bada Boom exists in that rare space where locals and tourists coexist peacefully, both getting what they came for without either group feeling ripped off.
The secret ingredient is frequency. When there's a show every 15 minutes, nobody feels like they're waiting for something. The energy stays up, the crowd stays engaged, and the night keeps moving. It's strip club cardio.
If you want to feel like a VIP, go somewhere else. If you want to feel like you found a good deal in a city full of tourist traps, grab a seat at Bada Boom. The locals already know.
