Zarzo · Rooftop Bar · Medellin
A live-music rooftop with a jazz-and-soul heart
Zarzo is the rooftop for people who want the music to mean something. Six floors up on the Michelin-Guide-listed Hotel El Zarzo, it trades the usual DJ-dance formula for a curated live program - son cubano, blues, jazz, soul, R&B and rap moving from old school to new across the week.
The room is intimate and upscale: craft cocktails, generous pours of wine and a short menu of food built to keep you in your seat. It reads as a grown-up night out rather than a party rooftop, which is exactly its appeal in a neighborhood full of the latter.
The Michelin Guide hotel below sets the tone - considered, well-run, a cut above the average rooftop bar - and the live sets give the place a genuine identity rather than a generic playlist.
Reservations are recommended Thursday through Saturday, and the bar runs late into the night on weekends, well past one in the morning.
We feature it in our Medellin rooftop guide as the music-lover's pick; reach the venue through the link below to hold a table.
Address: Cra. 38 #10 A 29, El Poblado, Medellín, Antioquia, Medellin

Frequently asked about Zarzo
How do I book a table at Zarzo in Medellin?
Submit the reservation request on this page and our concierge team confirms your table, quotes any minimum spend in writing, and coordinates arrival before you commit. Your host opens the door on arrival so you walk straight to a ready table.
How much is a table at Zarzo?
A table at Zarzo depends on the night (weekends and event dates price highest), your group size, and where the table sits relative to the DJ booth and dance floor. Rather than a price that changes weekly, MyRSVP quotes your exact minimum spend in writing when confirming, so you know the cost before you arrive.
What is the dress code at Zarzo?
Zarzo keeps an upscale nightlife dress code: stylish, dressed-up attire. Avoid athletic wear, gym shoes, and overly casual looks. Your host manages the door with your table, and we confirm the current policy with your booking.
What time should I arrive at Zarzo?
Table guests generally arrive as the room fills, with the peak on weekends. Your MyRSVP host coordinates a specific arrival window so you are not waiting in line.
