Abaco

Perhaps the world’s most romantic setting for drinks: an ancient courtyard and lush garden, with hundreds of fresh fruits, huge bouquets of fresh flowers, exotic birds twittering, soft candlelight and perfumed air (see also Abaco, Palma).
Abaco, Palma

Many can hardly believe their eyes when they first find this gorgeous place, set in the courtyard of a period townhouse. Candlelit, full of fresh flowers and fruit, and with the delightful touch of tropical birds in the magical garden, it is surely the best place in the world to have a drink. Outside of town, the same people run Abacanto, where they’ve done the same thing to an entire mansion.
Bar Albatross, Port de Sóller

Full of fishermen exchanging tales in animated Mallorquin. Ask for una cana (a beer on tap).
Bar Bosch

Perpetually busy and the most central bar of all, it’s great for tapas and a drink any time of day.
Bar Central

Tapas, bocadillos (sandwiches) and pastries in a classic, slightly fly-blown place.
Bar Claridge, Port de Sóller

A little bit of Britain. You’ll find a friendly atmosphere, the usual beers, pub grub, ploughman’s lunch and full English breakfasts.
Bar Deportivo, Fornalutx

The main square in town is full of seating for several bars. This one is on the corner; others include Café Sa Plaça and Café Ca’n Benets. Locals and foreign visitors mingle till the early hours.
Bar Els Tamarells, Portocolom

Look for the drunk-looking seahorse sign. Inside, it’s loud and packed with young Spaniards and Mallorcans. The main room has a big TV, bar and tables, while the terrace has views of the entire port. There is also a quieter room with table football.
Barracuda, Port d’Andratx

Keep an eye out for this club’s posters all around the port – they’re particularly original and collectible, the work of Jorge Bascones. The vivacious young woman who runs the spacious place is very talented at dreaming up new theme nights that manage to appeal to just about everyone in town – at least to all those who enjoy bop-ping the night away.
Barracuda, Port d’Andratx

Revellers of different ages come for the mix of soul, house, hiphop and Spanish music. Wednesday night is Club 21, mostly for German 20-somethings; Thursday is House Party, with guest DJs from Ibiza; Friday is Gay Night; Sunday is Flower Power, with music from the 1960s and 1970s.
