Envy

À propos de ce lieu Envy

Envy is the most prominent gay bar in El Poblado and the first point of reference for most international LGBTQ+ visitors to Medellín. The venue's name and concept align with the aspirational, image-conscious culture of El Poblado's Parque Lleras nightlife zone, and the reality lives up to the branding: the cocktails are well-made, the interior is designed with care, and the crowd that fills it on weekend nights is as cosmopolitan as anything you will find in a South American city outside Buenos Aires or São Paulo. The expat and digital nomad community that has made El Poblado its base is well-represented at Envy — a mixture of North American, European, and South American international residents alongside Colombian LGBTQ+ people from Medellín and visiting from other Colombian cities. The music policy runs Latin pop and reggaeton on most nights, with international electronic music on special events. Envy's position within El Poblado's walkable bar zone makes it a natural hub for an evening that might start with dinner at one of the neighbourhood's restaurants and move through several bars before ending at a club. The bar staff are experienced with international visitors and speak sufficient English to navigate orders and recommendations. For LGBTQ+ visitors to Medellín, Envy is the starting point.
