Welcome Drinks
Saturday, December 14, 2024
7:00 PM–9:00 PM
Alquimico
##34-24 Calle del Colegio, Cartagena de Indias, Bolívar, 130001, Colombia
Attire: Dress like you’re going to a nice dinner at a resort
Meet us for drinks and small bites at Alquimico (https://alquimico.com) in the Walled City of Cartagena. This is our favorite cocktail bar, and it was just named the Best Bar in the World for its progressive cocktails, great music, and incredible atmosphere. Alquimico supports over 20 rural communities and 100+ families with a farm-to-cocktail and food menu -- a true gem of Cartagena that attracts people from all over the world. We can't wait to have you join us there. It's an 8-minute walk from the Sofitel Legend (our hotel and wedding venue).
On dinner/food timing: We’ll serve heavy (and delicious) farm-to-table apps during the party. We’d recommend coming somewhat hungry. You could either:
1) Eat a big, late lunch and skip dinner entirely — we’re pretty confident you’d be able to fill up on the apps.
2) Pop into Ana right next door and grab a quick small bite/shared plate at the bar beforehand. No reso needed between 5-7 — just show up.
3) Come to Alquimico when the doors open at 6 and order a few of your own plates on the first or second floor before heading up to the roof for our welcome party! No reso needed — it’ll be dead at the 6pm hour :)
