Free covered parking at Etro Rooftop

No one talks about parking when recommending a rooftop. They talk about the view, the cocktails, the music. But anyone who has gone out at night in El Poblado knows the experience begins—or breaks—long before reaching the bar. It starts when you look for where to park. Driving around for twenty minutes searching for a […]
Accessible rooftops in Medellín: how to get to Etro Rooftop

There’s a conversation Medellín’s rooftop industry still doesn’t have often enough: accessibility. Much is said about views, cocktails, and music—but rarely about the basics: how do I get there? Can I access it in a wheelchair? What if I have temporary mobility limitations? What if I simply don’t want to climb multiple flights of narrow […]
Rooftops with fusion cuisine in Medellín

The word “fusion” has been one of the most used—and least understood—in Medellín’s culinary scene. It’s applied to everything: from sushi with guacamole to burgers with hogao. But true fusion—the kind backed by research, that respects the ingredients it blends, that creates something new without betraying its origins—is far more rare. And in the city’s […]

Etro Rooftop: the rooftop for photos in Medellín

Medellín is a city that asks to be photographed from above. Its mountains create a natural amphitheater, its sunsets paint the sky with a palette that needs no filters, and its nighttime lights turn the valley into an electric blanket no street-level shot can capture. Rooftops are the natural setting for those photos — but […]
Professional bartender in Medellín: Etro Rooftop

At most bars, the bartender is the person who makes what you order. At the best ones, they’re the person who helps you discover what you didn’t know you wanted. The distance between a functional bar and a bar that becomes an experience lies in who stands behind it — their training, their curiosity, their […]
Cocktails with local ingredients at Medellín’s rooftops

There’s a moment in Medellín’s cocktail scene that marks a turning point: when bartenders stopped importing identity and started distilling it from the territory itself. The gin and tonic with cucumber and the mojito with mint didn’t disappear — they simply stopped being the only conversation. Today, at the city’s best rooftops, a cocktail can […]
Vegetarian options at Etro Rooftop

Being vegetarian at a Medellín rooftop used to mean settling for the one salad on the menu while the rest of the table enjoyed dishes with identity. That reality is changing. Not because rooftops added a “veggie” section out of obligation, but because the most interesting ones discovered that vegetables, treated with the same seriousness […]
Rooftops with a cultural agenda in Medellín

A rooftop that only offers drinks and views is a viewpoint with a bar. What transforms a space in the heights into a destination people actively seek — and return to — is the ability to deliver something that wasn’t in the plan. A musical moment that surprises. A presentation that shifts the night’s mood. […]
