Bar 55

Isla Teja finally gets a proper bar
Skip the student pubs. Bar 55 sits on Los Robles directly opposite the obelisk, giving the university side of the river the kind of bar it never had.
Isla Teja is a bridge away from downtown Valdivia and used to go quiet after dark. Now there's a reason to stay on this side of the river.

Every time I go I have a fantastic time! The service is top-notch, especially from David. The food is exquisite, the drinks are great too, and many are signature creations from the bar. Plus, everything is of very high quality. The atmosphere is also very nice, relaxed, and makes you feel safe.

I love signature cocktails; their bar is beautiful, and I really enjoy the atmosphere and friendly service. Plus, they have special events on the first Saturday of every month and happy hour from Tuesday to Thursday! It's ideal for socializing, chatting, and enjoying signature drinks made with local ingredients.

Excellent place to hang out with friends. The waiters are very attentive, friendly, and helpful. The food is delicious, and the beer is great too. If you're a tourist like us, come here, because the service in many restaurants and bars in Valdivia is terrible. Here, the service is excellent, 10/10.

There was a DJ mixing live, the atmosphere was great. At first they put us at a table far away and the waiters couldn't see us because it was so crowded, but we asked to change tables and it was much better. We ordered skirt steak, but I thought it was a little overcooked. It came with a chimichurri sauce that was excellent. The bathrooms were very clean and smelled wonderful.

Delighted! Every flavor has a taste of Valdivia. Dishes and cocktails with local ingredients make them unique; without a doubt, some of the best I've tasted in Valdivia. The menu has a distinct identity and is very creative in its combinations. Everyone was very kind and attentive; thank you for such excellent service! 💕
