The rum tasting proved to be a captivating and enlightening adventure, etching an indelible memory in our minds.

Our encounter with Adrian didn’t end with the rum tasting; in fact, it marked the beginning of a memorable evening. As we proceeded to our dinner reservations, serendipity smiled upon us, and Adrian assumed the role of our server. His exceptional service mirrored the caliber of the rum tasting experience. The food that followed was nothing short of phenomenal, bursting with flavor and culinary finesse.

The recent expansion only adds to the allure, cementing its status as a premiere Cartagena nightlife destination. It is an establishment that effortlessly marries the artistry of mixology, culinary excellence, and warm hospitality, leaving indelible memories for all who have the privilege of experiencing its charms.

We chose this restaurant due to the good reviews and we were not disappointed. Delicious food, very good cocktails and great service. A very nice idea to start and end with good rum and chocolates. Thank you very much Cami G!

As all the reviews say, do not miss the rum tasting. We followed suit. And they were right. Do not miss the rum tasting. Koko our bartender, was knowledgeable on her rums, generous with her pours, and striving to give the best experience possible. The staff is truly friendly. They do make you try about 9-11 different types of rum. An truly enjoyable experience. The food: completely in sync with the rum tasting experience. Catch of the day filet would just melt in your mouth. Vegetarian options available as well. Great flavors, great rum. Time and moneys worth. Will come back.

Had an absolutely incredible tasting with Jesus last night! We were only expecting rum and chocolates, but the tasting also included amazing tapas. The tapas came from their own restaurant and we will definitely go there as well. It was some of the best seasoned food we had ever tasted. Jesus was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and made the experience one we will never forget. Yes the tasting was pricey, but worth every penny! Definitely a MUST DO activity while in Cartagena ❤️

Dropped in for drinks after doing the Rum Box rum and chocolate tasting across the road, which I highly recommend! The Rum Rouge cocktail is a must try. It wasn’t that busy when I went but the atmosphere was laid back and quite nice for a lazy evening! The rum and chocolate tasting was so much fun and we learned some interesting facts, our host was absolutely amazing, shout out to KoKo!! Boozy afternoon with lots of laughs and delicious chocolate! Highly recommend!

5 stars all the way. Best dinner of our trip, and the rum and chocolate tastes before and after the meal were a really nice touch. The cocktails weren’t as balanced as we’d have liked, but we forgot all about that when the fish and Creole sauce and fish in mushroom-prawn sauce hit the table. Yum!
