Vintrash is Provenza’s time machine: a multi-floor bar and club on Carrera 35 dressed in 1960s Motown style, with vintage vinyl on the walls, a terrace and different music on every level. It is also where one of Medellín’s best-known language-exchange nights turns into a party every Tuesday, a few blocks from Parque Lleras.
Retro decor, three parties, one building
The look is the hook: geometric walls, record sleeves and portraits of old film stars, all in a Motown-era palette. Each floor runs a different sound, so the crowd sorts itself by music — reviewers note a good mix of locals and visitors.
Earlier in the evening it works as a bar with a terrace; later the dance floors take over and it runs into the small hours.
Language exchange, then a party
On Tuesdays Vintrash hosts a language-exchange night where Colombians practising English and visitors practising Spanish pair up at tables. Regulars advise arriving early in the evening if you actually want to talk; after that the music goes up and it becomes one of the busiest weeknight parties in Provenza.
Prices and tips
Beer is priced like the rest of Provenza, and several reviewers mention prices that vary by bartender — check the menu price before you pay. Bring ID; entry is 18+.
