El Patio del Tango
Now the tango's major stage in Medellín, this steak restaurant is decorated like a typical Buenos Aires tango dive. Make reservations in advance for the live shows from Thursday to Saturday. It's located south of the center, a couple of blocks northwest of the zoo.

Casa Gardeliana
Located in Barrio Manrique, the Casa Gardeliana was the main tango venue for years, hosting tango bands and dance shows. It still has them from time to time, though now it's basically a small tango museum and dance academy offering group classes (COP$20,000 per course) and personalized instruction (COP$40,000 per hour).

Juanchito District
When the sun goes down, calenõs (Cali people) have one thing on their minds - salsa. The city's best-known salsa nightlife is in the legendary Juanchito district, way south of the center. Two of the most famous salsa places here are Changó and Agapito. Come on the weekend - preferably after ten - and take a taxi or a chiva(bus)tour.

Agapito
By 02:00 or so, it's time to head to the salsatecas of the Juanchito District, about 12km east of the center. A taxi should get you there from the center for about US$5. Salsatecas generally don't charge admission, and you order drinks by the bottle.
Agapito is next door to Changó, a humbler but no less sexy salsateca, which features a viejoteca on Sunday afternoon, when older folks take over the dance floor.
