One of the last chances for a Colombian craft draft
Right in El Dorado’s T1, Bogota Beer Company is the airport outpost of the city brewery, so this is where people grab a final local draft before heading to long-haul gates. It sits in Terminal 1 near /MEX/gate/, fully post-security, so you don’t need to budget extra time for another checkpoint.
Tap list leans local: expect BBC’s own Colombian craft beers, usually a golden, a red ale, and something darker, all poured on draft instead of just bottles. Prices sit in the midrange for BOG (call it $$, not a bargain, not gouging), and a pint often lines up with what you’d pay at a mid-tier airport bar in the U.S. or Europe.
Food here plays second fiddle to the beer. You’ll typically see burgers, wings, and bar snacks that match up with T1’s casual sit-down spots both in quality and price. If you’re hungry before an international departure out of Terminal 1, this is more “beer first, food as backup” compared to full-service restaurants closer to some of the long-haul gates.
Rating runs around 2.9 stars, so set expectations for service and speed to be hit-or-miss compared with stronger-reviewed places elsewhere in T1. On tight connections under 45 minutes, you’re safer skipping a full order and sticking to a quick draft or bottled beer, since kitchen tickets can drag when several flights out of /MEX/gate/ banks depart at once.
Hours follow the standard Terminal 1 pattern, usually opening around the first morning departures and staying open into late-evening international banks at /MEX/hours/ rather than shutting down after domestic rushes. Last call tends to land close to the final wave of T1 flights instead of a fixed city bar time.
Practical tip: Grab a bar stool facing the concourse near /MEX/gate/ so you can watch your boarding area while you work through a single local draft; pay when the beer lands, not at the end, in case boarding for your flight out of T1 jumps ahead of schedule.
