I have not done this for a while, but I wanted to write about B&L Piano Bar in Bogotá, Colombia, which appears in Café Chronicles. Sadly, because I took too long to write this, it has since closed. I have no one but myself to blame. 
It was a small jazz blues bar, a very small bar, in the Upper Chapinero area of the city. They had a pretty decent variety of beer and whiskey, and the owner would go off and find some rarities on occasion. He was also talking about brewing his own beer, so maybe he’s gone off to do that.
Speaking of the owner and the staff, they could not have been nicer. I went there when it first opened, and I went at odd times, so often it was the staff and me, so I got to talk to them quite a bit.
The thing is that the neighborhood seems to be changing rapidly, and there may be a sushi or ceviche place where the B&L used to be. In fact, as I google mapped my way around the area, I could see a number of new restaurants, cafes, and bars creeping south from the gourmet zone, which was a little farther to the north.
I still say that Bogotá is the place to be right now though it seems to be in constant flux, a permanent transition. Luckily, from as far back as I can remember, the one constant is the people, who continue to be wonderful, warm, and welcoming.
Remember, you can find Café Chronicles exclusively at Amazon.
