As Palma’s a fairly big city, to make it easier for you we have broken down our recommendations into locations.

Old Town Palma

Interior of El Neo Bar & Tapas in Palma

El Neo Gastro Bar
El Neo Gastro Bar, one of the trendiest bars in Palma, remains unrivalled when it comes to making the best espresso martini in town. You can expect modern contemporary décor, good quality cocktails and a lively atmosphere at this stylish bar. There are two El Neo's now due to its popularity, but the original and our favourite is situated in the heart of the old town, a must for those seeking an after-dinner cocktail or two. It gets busy so make sure you arrive early to grab a table to enjoy a selection of fabulous cocktails and tapas. Alternatively, you can perch at the very impressive looking bar and watch the bartenders create their masterpieces whilst sipping on your favourite cocktail.

In the evenings, Bar Nicolas has become a hotspot for locals and tourists, so be sure to arrive early to grab a table outside if you can.

LAB Cocktail Bar
With a fun atmosphere, LAB Cocktail Bar has a good reputation amongst locals and expats alike due to its good value for money cocktails and lively people. The bartenders are extremely talented and prepare consistently good cocktails, regardless of how busy the bar gets. They serve traditional concoctions and anything you might like to try on request. We definitely recommend the traditional Caipiroska (8€) here. The Dark & Stormy and Moscow Mules are also popular and served in some quirky glassware. Situated in the heart of Santa Catalina, this place is great for late night cocktails.

Ventuno Bar
Ventuno Bar is one of the coolest cocktail joints in town, evident from the number of people overflowing onto the street. Being in Palma’s illustrious gastronomic district, it’s the perfect place to stop by for a pre or post-dinner cocktail. It’s come from the creators of widely popular restaurant A Casa Mia which can be found directly opposite. In fact, if you arrive early enough you might get a free little taster of the delicious Italian snacks this place also has to offer... the mini pizzas are to die for!

49 Steps
Overlooking the magnificent super yachts in Marina Moll Vell, almost opposite to the cathedral, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that 49 Steps is one of the swankiest places to indulge in cocktails in Palma. It’s the kind of place you can kick back in the sunshine and people watch whilst sipping on your favourite concoction. The price tag on each cocktail is a little steeper here, but we think it’s well worth it for the location.
