Crítico is a cocktail bar in Bogotá's Zona Rosa built around a spirits programme of unusual depth — the shelves behind the counter are visible from the door and contain the collection logic of a serious importer rather than a commercial spirits menu. The selection emphasises Colombian aguardiente and rum alongside the international categories, and the bartenders make the drinks rather than explain them. The room is dark, the sound level is calibrated for conversation, and the brass wall sconces produce the kind of warm, indirect light appropriate for this kind of operation.
