Fonda La Floresta

Top choice in Armenia


Set up like a traditional Antioquian village and with antiques hanging from the ceiling and party lights everywhere, this popular bar draws a mixed crowd of people, who come to sit around small tables and drink. Once suitably hammered, they then turn the entire place into one big dance floor. It's a 10-minute taxi ride from the center.
