There is a welsh bar opposite the indoor market (on the corner) called the "clansman" it was a scottish bar up until 2 years ago(hence the name) then a fella from pontypridd bought it. There are dozens of entertainment bars with live music, can,t tell you too much about clubs (at 50 been there done it) but one we always go in is "cafe benidorm", it,s free entrance, play all music from 60,s to present and is open till 8.00 am, hope this helps you and enjoy the holiday!!!

There are plenty of euro a pint bars out there which are worth visiting before going to Cafe Benidorm which is expensive. Be careful because there are a lot of North African gypsys (women) out there who come up to you in threes and fours and before you know it they have run off with your wallet. There was about 35 of us out there about 4 weeks ago, one boy got mugged (he was steaming mind) and a couple got pick pocketed so you do need to be a bit careful if walking back to your hotel on your own.

Through the day time draught beer is very cheap 1.5 euros, i was buying strongbow for 2 euros a pint in certain bars. There are plenty of karaoke bars, (ok for a laugh) the "famous black chicken" and the "benidorm palace" are next door to each other and are always packed through the day!!!!

Try the pelicanos hotel(it,s where the they film the benidorm series from) we,ve stayed there before and it,s ok, it,s a 3* but food wise it,s a bit better than 3* also you are right where the action is!!!!

I stayed by the benidorm palace last year the main road goes straight down hill to the beach, halfway down there were a few nice bars (opposite the flamenco cant miss it it big as f**k!) we always had a few in rachaels bar there €1 a bottle local lager not much more for san miguel the chinese there were three courses and a drink for €6 but i was there in october so it may not be as cheap now, if your hotel is up that way its worth having a couple of cheap ones ealry before you hit the main drag

Cheers Premier1, i have just had a quick look on the web sight, it says it has recently had a refurbishment. Looks nice too. :ayatollah:

Have heard the Hotel is quite a walk from the beach, is this true? :ayatollah:

Also is it in the Center of everything? :ayatollah:

You'll have a great time in Benidorm head for the area around Cafe Benidorm and there are plenty of bars most have a happy hour which seemed to last forever however don't do what we did ie order 8 pints and end up with 16 because it was 2 for 1 during 'happy hour' we couldn't get our drunken heads around this concept so everytime someone went up for a round we ended up with 16 pints :D

As someone else said be careful walking around in the early hours and stick together when i was there 2 French guys tried to mug me (Mind you must have been the worlds worst muggers) i was absolutely pissed and smashed one in the nose with my elbow there was claret everywhere the other mugger then claimed i had attacked them despite the fact the little prick had kicked me in the back of the legs to get me down i just chased him across the road then buggered off back to my hotel.

Anyway be careful and have a great time. :ayatollah:

In fact I was possitive I saw bricktop in one sleazy bar. But that could have been the overpriced strongbow I was drinking

na about a 5 mins stroll past pubs and bars down a slight gradient, it is within about a 2 min walk from the big clubs and the paved off area, some good pubs and restraunts in the area all trying to beat each others prices

muggers watch out for them, especialy the girls coming on to you trying to kiss you while their hands are in your back pocket, be careful

1 = rio park
2 = duty free bar
3 = sports bar
4 = red dog
5 = chaplins
6 = jokers
7 = andys bar I
8 = andys bar II (karaoke)
9 = star and garter
10 = rockys
11 = kentucky chicken

the red line is a pedestrian area with loads of night clubs
next to star and garter is a joke shop,

some good pubs over the old town but expect to pay more

distance = heading toward beach each block about 100mtrs
distance = heading left to right each block about 150mtrs
