Rank 3. Bar Carmen
Cocktail Bar
The illustrated cocktail menu alone earns its place on the table, each drink built around Colombian regional ingredients the way the kitchen next door builds its plates. This is the bar inside Carmen, and the bar director treats it as seriously as anyone treats the food, leaning on native fruits, panela, and plantain vinegar to make cocktails that feel specific to one country and nowhere else.
