The Irish Pub in Zona Rosa is the least Colombian thing ever. It's in the form of, you guessed it, an Irish pub, with lots of different kinds of (EXPENSIVE) beer. The signs on the walls and decorations are all in English. All the music is in English and a lot of it is American. When I walked in for the first time, a Steelers game was playing on the TV. Like, really? (Side note: I started watching the game because I, like any good Ravens fan, hate the filthy living crap out of the Steelers, and when the other team scored a touchdown I shouted YES and threw my fist in the air. A group of those super classy Colombian girls I was talking about before all turned their sleek heads and stared me down).
Irish has a really great atmosphere. Inside it's pretty dark and pub-like, but the outside area is fantastic for people-watching. There's an outdoor patio on a main strip in Zona T. There are lots of little tables and chairs everywhere, and lots of Colombians go there to shoot the shit and drink their expensive beer (which is US $5-US $7, by the way. Which is high for beer in the US. In Colombia, that is absurd. It's definitely an upscale place). There are heat lamps everywhere, which is great because they allow you to enjoy the outside atmosphere even at night, when it gets chilly.
It's a really cool place to hang out, whether it's on a night when you just want to chill and have a drink, or on a Friday evening before you go do other stuff.

By the way, Colombian beer sucks.
