There\u2019s an eclectic mix of lively bars and nightclubs to be found around Mallorca to accommodate its equally diverse clientele. From young holiday-makers to yachting millionaires and everyone in between, you will find a bar to suit. The capital city Palma is the main hub as it is lively all year round, but the beach resorts provide plenty of bar and club choices when they come alive in the summer months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every village in Mallorca has a place for a drink, either a bar or restaurant usually set around the main square where you can enjoy refreshments with the locals. But if you are looking for something more lively, you’ll need to head to one of the larger towns or resorts. The party can start as early or as late as you like, with beach clubs servicing the early starters and the night clubs keeping the party people happy.<\/p>\n

Palma – Year-Round Partying<\/strong>
\nA city bursting with life 365 days of the year,\u00a0Palma\u00a0offers something for everyone when it comes to nightlife.\u00a0 Take a stroll around the Old Town, La Llonja and Santa Catalina to find the liveliest places, you’ll stumble upon an abundance of local haunts that are open seven days a week. In the summertime, you cannot miss the buzz from the Paseo Mar\u00edtimo down by the marina, with music blaring out from the mile-long stretch of bars and crowds of people overflowing onto the streets. There are also a number of British, Germans and Swedish in the city, so you have plenty of opportunities to rub shoulders with fellow expats if this is what you want. Palma is also home to many yacht crews (or \u2018yachties\u2019) who keep the bars alive throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Palma Old Town is generally considered to be the area around the cathedral, up to Placa d’Espanya. This area consists mainly of shops, but there are some neighbourhoods that you should explore if you are looking for bars that the Spanish frequent. There are some decent\u00a0cocktail bars\u00a0around Placa Mercat, whilst more authentic bars like\u00a0Bar Espana\u00a0and\u00a0Molta Barra\u00a0are up by Placa Major. You’ll get some good tapas in these bars too.<\/p>\n

In La Llonja, across Passeig Borne from the cathedral, there is a wider selection of international style bars. The tiny pedestrianised streets of Carrer de Jaume Ferrer, Sant Joan, La Llotja and Apuntadors are filled with small, independent bars with quirky interiors and friendly bar staff. It’s worth exploring these alleys and seeing what you stumble upon.\u00a0El Neo Gastro Bar\u00a0has some of the best cocktails in the city, whilst\u00a0Opio\u00a0has DJ’s and a party vibe.\u00a0Bar Abaco\u00a0should also be on your bucket list, it’s one of Palma\u2019s most illustrious bars famous for its beautiful courtyard setting.\u00a0Agua\u00a0is a Palma institution and hosts regular live rock music nights. Just up from here is Placa Drassana which is lined with bars and restaurants and is popular with yacht crews. For a quieter more sophisticated experience you will find more than enough classy cocktail lounges and patios within the boutique hotels in the area.\u00a0De Tokio a Lima Restaurant & Bar, located inside\u00a0Can Alomar Boutique Hotel\u00a0on the famous shopping street Passeig des Born, is a great choice, as are\u00a0Sant Francesc Hotel\u00a0and\u00a0Tres Boutique Hotel.<\/p>\n

Another hot spot for nightlife in Palma is Santa Catalina. This district is just across Avinguda Argentina and has a great selection of international bars and restaurants. This is where you will find locals and expats alike overflowing onto the streets outside of\u00a0LAB\u00a0Cocktail Bar,\u00a0La\u00a0Havana\u00a0Club\u00a0and\u00a0Hostal Cuba Bar, all within walking distance of each other. There are many bars in the area that offer quirky d\u00e9cor and innovative drinks menus, try\u00a0Vintage Santa Catalina Cafe & Bar\u00a0or\u00a0Chakra\u00a0Bar. Special mention to\u00a0Ginbo, the original and best Gin Bar in Palma, you’ll find it at the top of Avinguda Jaume III.<\/p>\n

The bars in the old town tend to stay open until 1am or 2am, so if you are looking to extend your night, you’ll have to head down towards the marina.<\/p>\n
