A craft-beer bar with 20 taps and a fridge full of international bottles. Happy hour runs 5–7 p.m., with €3 pints. The crowd is a mix of locals and travellers, and the staff let you sample before you buy. No cover charge.

A two-floor club with cheesy throwbacks upstairs and reggaeton downstairs. Entry is €5 before midnight, €10 after. The dance floor gets packed by 1 a.m., and the crowd is mostly 20-something Europeans. Free shot with every entry.

A surf-themed bar with live music most nights: acoustic sets until 10 p.m., then DJs until 3 a.m. Entry is free, and beers cost €3–4. The terrace is dog-friendly, so expect a few four-legged regulars.
