Estepona Nightlife

There are numerous bars with music in the town centre. However late at night most of the activity is in the port area which gets very crowded, particularly at weekends. The majority of bars do not charge any entrance fee, however drinks can be priced up to 4 EUR.

Located on Calle Real but also accessible from the sea front side. This is a very English small sports bar which also does very good, very English bar food. Reasonable pricing and good for sports but can close early. Not really a nightlife bar, more day time.

Located in the port of Estepona in the front lower part on the west half (go down into the lower part of the port and turn right under the bridge, halfway down the front there). New sports bar, very comfortable, nice sofas, friendly English staff. Pricing is reasonable with good food and good selection on the menu including roasys on Sundays. They have karaoke on Saturday and Sunday nights meaning later on the crowds are families. This bar is better in the day or evening. They also do English breakfasts, open most of the day, every day.

The bars in the town are generally cheaper due to less tourists using them, this is more where the locals choose to go out. This is a great area to visit to see some original and different bars.

I love this place, it’s less of a bar more of a cocktail lounge located at the very end of Calle Real away from the port. This bar specialises in speciality cocktails, milkshakes, coffee, and teas. This is for all ages and the atmosphere allows the them to mix quite easily. The bar itself is really small so most of the tables are outside, great in the summer with heaters for the winter. This place is very popular so you can often find that you can’t get in, but it’s well worth the try for the cheap, fancy drinks. We recommend the alcoholic coffees and milkshakes not readily available elsewhere. They also do snacks such as nachos and cheese and hot sandwiches, even these are really fancy and nice.

I really can¡t get enough of this place and definitely visit before a night out if in the area. Spanish but speak English.

Another bar located in town (Calle Real), this bar is right next to Tolone and is split into two buildings. One is a lounge cocktail place, slightly sophisticated whereas the other is an American/irish (I think they got mixed up when styling the place) themed bar, cramp but different. They have somehow managed to make 3 floors of this place, which makes it intriguing. This is very much an early bar for some drinks in an environment where you can talk. It’s really cheap, Spanish music, English/Spanish bar staff.

Also located on Calle Real, this place is more what I will start to refer as an “early night club”. It’s the kind of place you go to when you have had some drinks and a chat and want to start getting in the mood. The place is quite loud but with good music. Prices are rising to equal port prices (more expensive but not overly). This venue is more popular with the Spanish, not many English in here.

The port is a good 10/15mins walk away from the centre of town but once you get there you will find everything you need for a good night. The port is literally a big cluster of bars, lounges, coffee shops, ice cream parlours, restaurants, early and late nightclubs. You can literally enter the port at 8pm and be entertained until 7am (tried and tested!)

Located next to the supermarket “OpenCor”, this is a bar where you will start your night, but you can happily stay all night (closes around 5am). This is one of the bigger bars which serves a wide variety of drinks, the bar staff are very friendly and the atmosphere to match. The only downside is the smoke, because of the wood mixed with the poor A/C you will find this place really smoky, which causes smelly hair and clothes the next day but don’t let this stop you. They have quiz night every Wednesday in English and Spanish, sometimes a band on a Thursday and will always dress up if there is a cause. Spanish and English speaking.

This is a very Spanish often flamenco, trendy bar with mostly Spanish music, reasonably priced, lots of space on 2 floors and patio. The only fault I find in this place is that on a Saturday night they charge men 10€ to enter whereas ladies enter for free. You can class this place as a bar or an early night club.

This bar is located on the higher part of the port near the Irish pub. This bar has a very South American feel to it with music to match. There is quite often live music here which involves some exotic singers and dancers. Prices are ok here, lots of seating including sofas but never really gets that busy. La bomba is more for mature clientelle.

In the port, the following bars/clubs count as what I call the “early nightclub”. These are the sorts of places that are more for music and dancing but for when you fancy a mix between a dance and relaxing on the terrace. You will not find these bars busy until 2am and most close at 5am.

This has a nice big terrace with plants and spaces to sit, although not many. Indoors plays current Spanish music which can include English but is always packed so I usually find it better to stay outside! Unfortunately it does get busy and it is quite expensive especially as they do not have draught beer. On the plus side, this is a nice place to be in the summer (or winter with heaters) when you want something in between dancing, music and talking.

Directly opposite Atico, this is much the same as Atico (only personally, I’d say slightly better). You tend to find that it’s never as busy as Atico but at the same time has the right amount of people. There is a lot more seating here in the terrace but a smaller inside dance floor. The music is pretty much identical to that of Atico meaning that these two bars really are alternatives to each other. Like Atico, they do not have draught beer but if you ask for it, they do have a very nice Estrella bottled beer.

The port sister of the Palm Beach chiringuito, you will find this more popular with the expats and open minded Spaniards. This is the type of place you want to go to if you want to hear some more international dance music, pretty much what you would hear in the UK night clubs. There is a great atmosphere in this bar and the staff is really friendly. Due to a lot of foreigners in the bar, they do speak English. This bar also has a patio but it is not as well used as the other three. The music definitely makes up for this though.
Wills arrive time: 2am

This is the newest of the four and seems to (after a slow start) have become very popular. This has by far the biggest space inside and the same sized terrace meaning that it will most likely become the more popular choice. At 3 am you will find the dance floor absolutely packed and for one very good reason - the music is fantastic! You will find current world famous dance music in here which surprisingly is loved by a lot Spanish. The pricing here is reasonable for the port and a good patio.

There are really only two places in Estepona that I would class as more of a nightclub. In these clubs you are looking to enter at around 4 to 5am after having been to the early nightclubs. Here you can finish the night (morning) off until 7am. The challenge always is to leave here when they close and make your way to a cafe which opens up early for breakfast. If you can manage this then it is quite impressive!

This nightclub is the smaller of the two but is in a perfect location alongside all of the above bars in the port. If you have started your night in the port then there is no better place to go. The entry fee is 10€ and they play good music in here, understandably it can get busy, especially in the summer but is never too bad. The drinks are reasonably priced for a nightclub and they do offer a stamp service if you want to leave and come back. Out of the two I would always pick this nightclub.
