On the 16th floor of Binn Hotel, at Carrera 25 #10-51 on Transversal Superior in El Poblado, Etro Rooftop brings together signature cocktails, wine, and a premium spirits list with one of the most complete views of the Aburrá Valley. It is not just a place to grab a drink: it is a space designed so that every cocktail, every table, and every sunset become part of the same experience.
If you are looking for a rooftop in Medellín where the cocktail program has its own identity and the service matches a luxury hotel standard, this guide walks you through exactly what you will find at Etro’s bar: what to order, how much it costs, and what sets this space apart within the city’s rooftop scene.
Signature Cocktails
The house signature sits on five cocktails, each built on a different spirit base:
- Esfumado ($38,000 COP): aged rum, Frangelico, tamarind syrup and orange peel, lemon juice, and clarified. A sweet, citrus profile with the silky texture that comes from the clarification process.
- Silencio ($38,000 COP): Absolut Vodka infused with coconut oil, thyme syrup, mandarin lemon juice, topped with soda. Fresh, herbal, and light, designed for early evening hours.
- Sabroso ($45,000 COP): red wine reduction with berries, mandarin lemon juice, mint syrup, Absolut Vodka, and tonic. It combines the structure of red wine with the effervescence of tonic water.
- Niebla ($60,000 COP): high-quality Ojo de Tigre mezcal made from 8-year-old Espadín agave, pennyroyal syrup, and mandarin lemon. The most full-bodied drink on the list, with the smoky notes typical of high-quality mezcal.
- Revelación Rubí ($45,000 COP): bourbon with rye notes, corozo syrup, pineapple extract, and lemon juice. It brings together the spiced character of bourbon with the tropical fruit of corozo.
Each of these cocktails is designed to complement the rooftop’s food menu, which is also built around the idea of sharing at the table, with dishes served family-style so the conversation and the menu flow together.
Classic Cocktails for Those Who Prefer the Familiar
Etro Rooftop also keeps an extensive classic cocktail list, with fourteen references ranging from $40,000 to $61,000 COP:
- Aperol Spritz
- Boulevardier
- Daiquiri
- Dry Martini
- Jungle Bird
- Margarita
- Mojito
- Moscow Mule
- Negroni
- Negroni Sbagliato
- Old Fashioned
- Paloma
- Penicilin
- Mezcalita
This variety means that even guests not looking for an experimental drink can still find their usual order, made with certified quality base spirits.
Creative Mixology
What sets Etro’s bar apart is not just the cocktail list, but the approach behind each drink. The menu combines techniques such as clarification (used in Esfumado), direct infusions into the base spirit (like the coconut oil in Silencio), and red wine reductions with berries (in Sabroso), giving each drink its own texture and flavor profile beyond the classic recipe.
This creative mixology is backed by a spirits and wine list that supports each preparation:
- Gin: from Beefeater and Tanqueray to Hendrick’s and Monkey 47
- Whisky: from Jack Daniels and Chivas to more aged labels such as Macallan 18 Years or The Glenlivet 18 Years
- Mezcal: including the Ojo de Tigre Espadín 8-year agave used in Niebla, plus references like 400 Conejos and Amores
- Red, white, and rosé wines from Spain, Chile, Italy, France, and Argentina, with labels such as Beronia Reserva, Marques de Riscal, Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon, and Doña Dominga
- Champagne and sparkling wines for special occasions: Moët Chandon Brut Imperial, Veuve Cliquot, and Dom Pérignon
This breadth of options reflects a concept the hotel itself describes as quiet luxury: an exclusive, minimalist, and sophisticated experience where quality takes priority over ostentation, and where every drink is designed to carry a full evening without needing to change venues.
The space itself reinforces this concept: floor-to-ceiling windows framing the mountains of the Aburrá Valley and Medellín’s skyline, in a venue accommodating 80 seated guests or 150 in a cocktail-style format, spread across a general area of 120 sqm with a 3.20-meter ceiling height, plus an upper space of 7 sqm with a 2.20-meter ceiling.
If your plan is to enjoy the sunset experience at Etro Rooftop, the light during the final hours of the afternoon over the valley is one of the moments where this creative mixology and the rooftop views come together best, especially with drinks like Silencio or Esfumado, designed for that time of day.
Non-Alcoholic Cocktails
For guests who prefer not to drink alcohol during their visit, Etro Rooftop also offers a beverage selection designed to complement the experience without missing out on the space or the view:
- Premium waters: Agua Hatsu sparkling and still (300ml), Agua Panna (500ml), and San Pellegrino (250ml and 750ml)
- Sodas: Coca Cola Original and Coca Cola Zero (10oz), plus Bretaña soda
- Energy drinks: Red Bull and Red Bull sugar-free (250ml)
- Tonics: Ginger Beer and Indian Tonic, both from Mil 976
- Gatorade (500ml), for a hydrating option
This non-alcoholic beverage list makes Etro Rooftop a viable option for guests accompanying others or simply preferring to enjoy the views and food without alcoholic cocktails.
Book Your Table
Before your visit, it is worth keeping a few service conditions in mind:
- All menu prices include taxes.
- Gratuity, suggested at 10% of the total bill, is voluntary and not included in the price of the products.
- Service is bilingual, fitting for a hotel that caters to both international guests and local visitors.
- The sale of alcoholic beverages to minors is prohibited.
- Excessive alcohol consumption is harmful to your health, as noted in the hotel’s policy.
Since this is a hotel space with a defined design concept, it is worth checking the recommended dress code for Medellín rooftops at this level before your visit, especially if your plans include dinner or a special evening celebration.
