Black

Black occupies the late-night club slot in El Poblado's gay scene — the venue that takes over when the bars are closing and the crowd that wants to keep dancing needs somewhere to go. The aesthetic is darker and more club-oriented than the bar venues in the Parque Lleras area: the music runs toward harder electronic and Latin urban rather than the pop-oriented programming of the bars, and the space is designed for dancing rather than conversation. The crowd that gravitates toward Black tends to be younger and more club-oriented — Colombians and international visitors who want a proper club experience rather than a bar atmosphere. The venue occupies El Poblado's established nightclub geography, close enough to the bar strip to receive the later-evening crowd naturally but distinct enough in character to carve out its own identity. For visitors to Medellín who want to dance until 4am or later, Black is the El Poblado answer. The venue is busiest on Friday and Saturday nights after midnight; arriving earlier will find a sparse crowd.
