Why we recommend it
Disco Jaguar is a bar and disco on Carrera Séptima in Chapinero, and it is one of the venues highlighted on the city's official Diverse District route through the La Playa area. It has a separate bar area for drinks and conversation and a disco for dancing, so you can shape the night around your mood.
The look is a big part of the appeal. The design mixes 1980s style with urban art and neon, giving the rooms a retro, colourful feel. Musically there are two distinct spaces: one room is tropical and danceable, while the other moves through funk, dancehall, disco and electro-cumbia, the electronic take on Colombia's cumbia tradition. That range makes it a good bar for groups whose tastes differ.
Opening nights and times are not published in an official source, so check the venue's social media before you go. Weekend nights are the obvious time to go. Bring photo ID, keep valuables to a minimum and agree a meeting point with friends if the dance floor gets crowded.
Disco Jaguar suits groups of friends, LGBTQ+ travellers and anyone who wants to dance to something other than salsa. It works well as a first stop before Theatron, which is a few blocks away on Calle 58, or as a smaller alternative if the big club feels like too much.
The bar is on Carrera Séptima at Calle 59, in Chapinero, within the La Playa area covered by the Diverse District route. The route, which takes one to two hours on foot without going inside venues, also includes a countercultural bookshop, a bakery and other bars. After dark, use a registered taxi or ride-hailing app rather than walking long distances, especially when leaving at closing time.
If you want to explore the area by day first, the Diverse District route is usually available from Monday to Saturday. Stops include La Valija de Fuego, a countercultural bookshop on Carrera 7 with a section on Colombia's LGBTI history and culture, and Petunia Repostería, which describes itself as the first bakery in Colombia to formally hire trans people. Together they give useful context to the area's nightlife.
