Nightlife:

There are a large number of night spots in Alicante offering all sorts of entertainment. El Barrio Antiguo (the Old District) is undoubtedly one of the liveliest places, with a multitude of bars and clubs where you can drink and listen to live music. Also in the area are restaurants, taverns and two cinemas. In the surrounding streets there are trendy cafes, luxury restaurants, pubs and clubs. An area that has recently been attracting tourists and locals alike is the port of Alicante, which provides a unique backdrop for pubs, open-air bars, clubs, cafes and restaurants. In summer, nightlife shifts to the chiringuitos (kiosks) on the San Juan and Postiguet beaches.

Bars: Pubs and bars line the narrow streets of El Barrio Antiguo. La Misión, Virgen de Belén 9, is a popular bar/club with several floors. The cosy bar Coscorrón, Calle Tarifa 3, serves the best mint-infused mojitos in town, while La Havana, Rambla de Méndez Núñez 26, is one of the most popular bars. The Little Duke, Calle Doctor Gadea 9, is a typical Irish pub.

Clubs: Down in the port area, relaxing cafes double up as crowded clubs every night: Ay Carmela, Muelle de Levante, 6 bloque 1 local 3, plays popular Spanish music, while a few doors down, el Puerto di Roma is the biggest bar in this area. All the clubs in the port are open until the sun comes up.

Live Music:
The trendy art gallery Café Loft, Calle Barcelona 15 (website: www.cafeloft.com), in Muchavista beach, hosts live music every night in its lounge bar. Jamboree, Calle San José 10, an established live music venue, with an eclectic bill of performances, has one of the best terraces in the historic center.
