Located at the far end of Palma’s port, hidden within the Club de Mar marina, this is a popular haunt for those working in the yachting industry along with some curious creatures who have heard about it on the grapevine. Its outdoor terraces, modern décor and music bring a good mix of Spanish and internationals of various ages who are looking for some late night party fun.

Tucked away within Can Barbara, a small marina on the other side of the road from the main port along the Paseo Marítimo (closer to the cruise ships than the city centre), you might struggle to find Garito Bar & Club but you’ll always be happy when you do. Off the beaten track, this is your chance to party with the locals. Open since the 1970s, this establishment may be modest in size but it continues to bring the avant-garde youth through its doors thanks to its epic DJ sets and cool party vibe. The outdoor maritime terrace is also the perfect setting to take a break from partying and enjoy a large gin and tonic whilst chatting with friends. Depending on the day of the week, Garito plays a different genre of music so be sure to check out its DJ calendar. If House and Electronic music are your thing, you will find it here. 

Open year-round, from 19:00 until late. Dress code: Casual chic. Entry fee: Free.

The façade of this bar doesn’t give much away. From outside it looks like just another Spanish restaurant & bar with no particular airs and graces to speak of, other than the fact it resides in one of the many beautiful early 20th-century buildings in the area. Upon closer inspection, you can admire the fact it has stayed true to its name, with the essence of the old Cuban colonial style clearly present in its decor. As the nights draw in, no matter the time of the year, Bar Cuba turns into a bustling bar encompassing an inconspicuous basement where people can let loose and throw their best shapes on the dance floor to a wide range of music. This is the place to indulge in guilty pleasures, people can’t help but love the all-time classic hits from across the decades that come blaring out through the speakers.
