Le Medell\u00edn is a club in the style of the late drug smuggler Pablo Escobar.\u00a0Though Escobar died in the 90s, his popularity continues to grow.<\/p>\n<p>You may have heard about Pablo Escobar and his operations in Medell\u00edn, Colombia.\u00a0Recently, Netflix\u2019s original series \u201cNarcos\u201d has revived interest in the iconic mafioso&#8217;s life. There has always been a fascination with his cartel, and a loyal following certainly venerates him for his contributions to Medell\u00edn&#8217;s economic development.<\/p>\n<p>For some, this interest in Escobar\u2019s life now borders on obsession, so much so, that the idolization of one of the most well-known outlaws has seeped into the hospitality and events business. Even the infamous \u201cFyre Festival,\u201d which has been the subject of two recent trending documentaries, at one point, publicized the festival&#8217;s venue as an island formerly owned by Pablo Escobar.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201ccocktail bar\u201d (as described on Google Maps) Le Medell\u00edn, nestled in La Rive Gauche just a few blocks away on the Seine, was an\u00a0overnight success. Replete with fancy schmancy d\u00e9cor and a theme \u00e0 la Pablo Escobar, its triumph was guaranteed.\u00a0Celebrities and local jet-setters flocked to the club, leaving a long line of patient hopefuls behind the velvet rope almost nightly.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10228\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ovationtv.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Le-Medelli\u0301n-nightclub-flyer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10228\" class=\"wp-image-10228 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ovationtv.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Le-Medelli\u0301n-nightclub-flyer-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ovationtv.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Le-Medelli\u0301n-nightclub-flyer-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ovationtv.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Le-Medelli\u0301n-nightclub-flyer-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ovationtv.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Le-Medelli\u0301n-nightclub-flyer-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ovationtv.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Le-Medelli\u0301n-nightclub-flyer.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">a chic flyer for the night club<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many, including local Colombians living in the French capital, have criticized the establishment and its proprietors for celebrating a monstrous crook.
