Vintrash sits on Calle 8 in Provenza, the El Poblado nightlife strip that, over the last fifteen years, has become Medellín's most concentrated drinking district. The bar opened in 2013 with a deliberately rougher aesthetic than the polished cocktail bars further up Carrera 36 — concrete floors, graffiti walls, an alternative-electronic soundtrack, and a crowd that skewed younger and more local than Provenza's typical tourist visitor. The right way to think about Vintrash is to walk Provenza as a single nightlife corridor. Five stops, with Vintrash as the third.
Vintrash is the bar that anchors the transition between dinner-time El Poblado and the late-night Provenza scene. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays; open Wed-Sun. Walk-in only. The room is loud enough that conversation works at the bar; the standing room near the door is busy from 11pm onwards.
