3 reviewed party hostels · from €14.35/night · Hostelworld rated
Granada’s nightlife runs on two fuels: free tapas and student energy. Order a beer on Calle Navas and you’ll get a plate of croquetas or jamón without asking. By midnight, the streets around Plaza Trinidad are packed with backpackers spilling out of bars like Boogaclub and Camborio, where flamenco basslines shake the pavement. The hostel scene is small but social. Oasis Backpackers Hostel sits in a converted mansion five minutes from the cathedral, its rooftop bar serving sangria until 2 a.m. Most places are within walking distance: you’ll rarely need a taxi after dark.

How Granada's nightlife zones break down
Granada’s former Jewish quarter, now a maze of tapas bars and street art. Calle Navas is the main drag, lined with places serving free tapas with every drink. The area is flat and easy to walk, with hostels like Makuto and Oasis nearby. Less touristy than the centre but just as lively.
A square surrounded by bars that spill onto the pavement. It’s the heart of Granada’s student nightlife, with places like Boogaclub and Granada 10 within a five-minute walk. The square itself is a good spot for pre-drinks: grab a beer from a convenience store and join the crowd.
A hillside neighbourhood known for its cave houses and flamenco bars. The walk up is steep, but the views over the Alhambra are worth it. Bars like Camborio and Cueva de la Rocío host live shows. Best visited in a group: some alleys are poorly lit at night.
