Conejitas Bar Show
Where the Bunnies Don't Speak English
"Conejitas" means "little bunnies" in Spanish. That's the kind of marketing that doesn't need a focus group.
Here's what you won't find about Conejitas Bar Show: TripAdvisor reviews, English-language guides, Instagram influencers doing "nightlife tours." The internet knows this place exists—it has an address, a phone number, a 4.4 star rating on some Colombian directory site—but nobody's written the helpful tourist breakdown. No "what to expect" articles. No "is it safe for gringos" Reddit threads.
That's not a bug. That's a feature.
Conejitas sits on Calle 53 in La Candelaria, right in the thick of Centro's strip club row. You're a few doors down from Playmates Bar Show, around the corner from Barra Ejecutiva, with Plaza Botero's daytime chaos just minutes away. This is the red light district that doesn't need your tourism dollars to survive. It was here before Poblado got gentrified. It'll be here after.
The prices tell the story: beer runs 4,000 pesos. That's roughly a dollar. Lady drinks are similarly priced. The 30-minute experience upstairs costs about 50k—roughly what you'd pay at any Centro spot. There's no "gringo tax" because there aren't enough gringos to tax. You're drinking with locals who've been coming here since before Escobar was a Netflix show.
The name's playful. The vibe's straightforward. Girls rotate through, shows happen on stage, you drink cheap beer in a dim room surrounded by men who don't need the Google Translate app to order. This is nightlife without the presentation layer. No bottle service rituals. No elaborate lighting rigs. Just the thing itself.
Here's the deal with Centro spots: the safety rating takes a hit because La Candelaria after midnight is still La Candelaria after midnight. Uber works. Taxis know the drill. Don't wander the surrounding blocks at 2 AM looking for street food. Handle your business, get your ride, go home. This isn't paranoia—it's just how Centro works.
The metro helps. Parque Berrío station is close. You can explore Centro during the day—museums, Botero sculptures, the actual city—then transition into evening mode without needing elaborate logistics. Conejitas opens around 6 PM and runs until 3 AM. The selection builds as the night goes on.
Value score is high because value is the entire point. You're not paying for atmosphere. You're not paying for English menus or international DJ sets. You're paying for cheap beer and the company of women who didn't learn their sales pitch from a tourism board. It's honest in a way that Poblado clubs can never be.
Come if you want the local experience. Stay if you don't need your hand held. The bunnies are waiting.
