This guide covers everything a May visitor needs to know, from first-timers to those who already know Etro and want to find out what is new this season.
May hours at Etro Rooftop
Etro Rooftop’s hours vary according to the day of the week, and it is important to know this when planning the visit.
- Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday: 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Weekdays have a quieter atmosphere and lower occupancy, making them suitable for visits where privacy and conversation are prioritized over group energy.
- Thursday: 12:00 pm to 12:00 midnight. Thursday with extended hours is the first day of the week where Etro has weekend energy, with the start-of-weekend atmosphere that gives Thursday evenings in El Poblado their specific character.
- Friday and Saturday: 12:00 pm to 12:00 midnight. The rooftop’s highest-activity days. Friday and Saturday DJ sessions add the musical dimension that turns the late afternoon into a complete experience.
- Sunday and public holidays: 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm. For Mother’s Day, which typically falls on a Sunday, this schedule allows a complete afternoon experience from midday through the evening.
May’s musical programming
Etro Rooftop’s Friday and Saturday DJ sessions feature lounge and deep house sets designed to create an atmosphere that accompanies conversation without dominating it. The volume is calibrated so the group can talk without effort while the music defines the space’s atmosphere.
In May, with Mother’s Day and the public holiday long weekend, the weekend musical programming includes specific themed events. The team can confirm the programming for a specific date when booking.
For those who want the Etro experience with the most developed musical dimension, Friday and Saturday are the reference days. For those who prefer Etro in its more intimate version without the DJ session energy, weekdays or Sunday public holidays have that profile.
