EL BALUARTE SAN FRANCISCO JAVIER

Unless it's super high season, I don't think you need to pre book this place. Service is slow because they have lots of tables, and then compounded with it being Colombia.

But the staff is very friendly and the sunset views are worth getting even a single drink

Beautiful place to sit and have a drink and listen to live music. They have a full kitchen as well. Nice ambiance, view and a cool wind off the ocean. Small tables and lounge chairs as well.

One of the iconic places in Cartagena. In the entrence, there are many sellers for traditonal shopping. Especially in sunset times, incredible. You can take many photos, drink something or just sit. There are two good cafes in two sides of historical wall. You can enjoy with some drinks or snacks.

Perfect place to see sunset with a drink of your choice. Good atmosphere. Haven't tried the food there but would definitely go back there.

Very good meal. Had about 40 people in are party. We had either salmon or beef. The salmon had a passion fruit sauce fantastic. The smashed potatoes, that came with it were great. Price for either was 62000 pesos. Beer was about 4 times the price on the street. But for where they are located well worth the price. Mostly Americans by the bar. Me and my Grandkids the only ones born in America in are party. Small band by the watchtower. Very good. Family loved dancing to it. Excellent staff, would go again. Great place to watch the sunset.

Best seafood meal we have ever had, and the passion fruit dessert was awesome. The server was so attentive! The live music, the ambiance, absolutely the place to be in Cartagena.

If you like Salsa music, this place is for you. The prices are the same as any other restaurant in the historic center. There is food and drinks to have a good time.

Excellent food and service. Great tasty drinks. I highly recommend this restaurant, so peaceful.

The bar of el baluarte its amazing. Located above the city wall with incredible views it’s completely stunning. They play really good music, really fun and not club style, with classical simple drinks. Its a great choice to enjoy the old city.

if you are looking for a better option to look at the sunset and have a hand crafted cocktail in Cartageta this is it. This place is 100x better than Cafe del mar, i dont know why cafe del mar is so popular if its always so packed and drinks are not even good.

We really enjoyed this place. We didn't try an entree, only drinks and appetizers, but everything was great. Service was very friendly. It was probably our favorite spot to relax at night. They have very comfortable lounging chairs, an awesome view, live music, ocean breeze....super romantic.

Nice vibe and location - much nicer than cafe del mar

Great place in the city center for a drink after dinner! Life Latin music...good for dancing outside! Good service and nice ambiance! Great views! Requires a 10.000 pesos cover (no drinks included)!

This Ceviche de chicharrón was new on the menu and it was delish. It was perfect as an entrée.

Fantastic setting on the ramparts of old Cartagena. Can't take a bad picture or have a bad time. Reasonably priced.

Great place to finish the Year, right on the malecón, food,service, music, fireworks 🎇 all top quality.

Amazing spot to enjoy sunset! Food, service and views are to die for!!

Great place to eat and have a good time

Really nice service, nice live music. I had the cold brew coffee and my gfs daughter had a juice we both loved our drinks. A great place enjoy the sunset.

Highly recommended!
