Hit this place up one of our nights . The atmosphere was good but soon became very very packed they have two different rooms with different music . Much younger crowd and a lot of foreigners . Went on a weds night . Rave music if you like that .

Usually they send foreigners there as they think this place is more updated... well they surely succeeded to bring the western cold atmosphere... together with too much boring electro music and an apparently cold welcome of the selection in the entrance...
If you want to experience colombia don’t go there... if you know Colombia for many years your heart will hurt to see this unwelcome western influence...
Only if you are a big fan of this stuff in your home country and you want to see how they do it in Colombia you may try - under these serious cold looks and in between the Electro there are (Still) beautiful Colombian soles...

They took my cell phone and my wallet (which I had on) inside the bar.
Mysteriously one of the bar workers appears with my wallet, obviously without money.
When asking to speak with the administrator, he did not care about the subject, he did not mind continuing with a thief inside the bar, he did not care about the security of the bar he manages. This leaves a lot to think about

I can't express my deep indignation as human being and Colombian. First of all, I contacted them 10 days ago to make a reservation for 10 people, when we got there they had a table with 3 chairs saying that if we wanted a bigger place we needed to move away. Secondly the waiter that was around said he had other tables to attend so he was not able to take care for you us, to sum up we had to wait ages to get the menu, ages to add things to our order, etc… Then, one of our friends (counted in the list of people within the reservation) couldn't get into as she didn't "pass the parameters established by management" however I have to say people that you can find many kinds of styles, including gross and vulgar ones. And to give a lovely ending to my birthday night, when I was queuing to the toilet a foreign guy approached to me offering 100000 pesos if I sleep with him as the girl in front of me was charging him that amount!!!!! And they didn't let in my friends, but certainly prepagos!! Outrageous!! Bad service, overpriced and this, I can't believe it!! Please if you are coming to Bogota visit places like Andres DC, Gaira, Centrico etc instead, You´ll really get a great experience of a Colombian rumba, but don't go to Armando, worst experience ever, a pity it was in my own country!

Wow. So overpriced. Like $9USD for a small bottle of imported American beer. Usually a 25000COP cover also. Worth a look on a non-cover night to goggle at Bogota's "beautiful people"

It’s a simple place, just a nice rooftop with lounge/electronic music and an exterior patio with crossover music(salsa, merengue, bachata, pop, hip hop, reggaeton, etc.), it’s a nice place so the people that go here it’s kind of laid back with a no problems-vibe. Cover was $10 USD and drinks were reasonable. I loved the music and the vibe, everyone was in there to dance and have a great night!

This place is great for anyone from out of town wanting to go right to the center of Bogota nightlife...which is definitely something to experience!
Lots of different spaces within building that seem to go on in a kind of maze. Multiple bands. The rooftop bar is the best part, I do believe, with its retro tilework, loungy feel, and the cool Bogota evening air.
Unlike a lot of clubs in the US, you have tons of super beautiful women and yet everyone is really friendly, non-pretentious, and the guys are not aggressive at all. As someone from the US, a lot of people were interested just getting to know me as someone from another country. The only big downside is that, if you don't speak spanish, about 50-75% of the people aren't going to be able to converse. In those cases you just have to dance. ;)

we loved how each of the stages had different music, and the crowd was young and attractive... this gringo had a great time, and we danced until 4am....

Been a few times.
It is ok or a little below average.
One time I watched the bouncers turn away a black guy in front of me.
I have no idea why. He was dressed the same as everyone else.
Not drunk, not high. Maybe he had been banned before but it didnt seem like the bouncer recognised him.
Not really anything special about this place.

Somos un grupo de visitantes de entre 40 y 50 años ??? Nos han recomendado Armando Récords, quiero preguntar si el ambiente es de jóvenes de 20-30 ??? O estaríamos cómodos con la música del sitio ?
Written February 22, 2015
Es demasiada música electrónica y las edades de los visitantes en su mayoría son hasta los 35 años; les recomiendo más un lugar como Galería Café Libro.
