Bogota Latin Bistro

"A Park Slope staple, and a slice of Columbia right here in Brooklyn. A bohemian spot with gorgeous colorful murals and a huge selection of Central and South American deliciousness. It’s a party spot, and rightfully so - pick your time wisely or wait at the bar with an exotic drink!" - Anna Griniuk

"Arguably the most “fun!“ combination on our list, the Bogota-Royal Palms DB12P is ideal for a group where someone will, at one point during the course of the day, try to stand on a chair. Bogota is colorful, charmingly over-decorated, and serves a Colombian brunch that comes with food you’d actually want to eat even if you weren’t drinking. The boozy option is $20 per person where they have a Bloody Mary made with tequila called Bloody Maria." - hannah albertine

"Bogota is an extremely casual Colombian restaurant where you can go after the game to celebrate a win. It’s colorful, potentially over-decorated, and open until 12am on weeknights and 2am on weekdays. Their menu is pretty affordable—especially considering the portion sizes of their Latin-inspired food like arepas and chicken and rice dishes—so invite some friends from the area who were watching along on TV.

"If restaurants had love languages, you’d have to shower Bogota Latin Bistro with loud music, empanadas, and mojitos to keep it happy. In other words, this is where you should go for a fun meal in Park Slope. If you plan on coming with a few friends and ordering several frozen watermelon margaritas, try to get a spot on their spacious back patio for more privacy." - nikko duren

"It always feels festive at this colorful, lively pan-Latin Park Slope restaurant. There’s a large covered back garden that’s fun for a big group, and the extensive menu has plenty of Colombian-inspired options for all sorts of diners and generous portions suited to sharing. Brunch is also popular; try the traditional Colombian Breakfast spread, with scallion and tomato-studded scrambled eggs, calentado (pork, red beans, and white rice), and a butter- and cheese-topped arepa. At lunch or dinner, opt for the Bandeja Paisa, a platter of basically the same delicious, filling slew of ingredients." - Alexandra Ilyashov, Carla Vianna
