La Belle Vintage Bar

Manizales


This swanky 2nd-floor bar in the heart of the dining district single-handedly elevated Manizales' status to that of a cosmopolitan metropolis with its globe-spanning selection of gins, tequilas and imported beers. The music volume allows for conversation or seduction, and there's good bar food for when the munchies strike.
