  1. A

    Monkey Bar

    With a sign touting ‘live sports and sexy bar staff’, this is one very cheeky monkey. Slightly grungy, very cool, this party hot spot has live gigs and DJs several times a week. There’s a mad rush to the bar at 4.45pm when pints are €1.50 for 15 minutes – get ’em in quick!

    Chez Tao

    Within the citadel, Chez Tao is an institution. This super-smooth piano bar occupying a lavishly decorated vaulted room was founded in 1935 by Tao Kanbey de Kerekoff, a White Russian émigré, and it still attracts hedonistic hipsters seven decades later.

    Bar Latino

    This party-lovin' Latin bar swings with svelte bodies gyrating to salsa and jiving to rock 'n' roll. Zingy cocktails and Mexican food fuel the dancing.
