  1. A

    La Rotonda

    Be bright, beautiful and be ready to swerve well into the morning at this ultra-smooth dance venue, right at beach level below the Paseo. Nothing much happens until after midnight when things start strolling with soul followed by Spanish rock. By 04:00 harder techno house takes over.

    Be Bop

    Grind your hips in this sultry bar-club, tricked out in bright red, green and cream and burnished by the evening sun. Cheesy pop anthems kick off the night, salsa turns things sexy later on and regular guest DJs add spice.

    Herria Bar

    Basque Donostia flies the flag with enthusiastic style in many of the bars in Juan de Bilbao. Drinks are fairly cheap here. Herria's name (the Nation) says it all, as do the sloganeering T-shirts for sale behind the bar.

    M.A.D

    Musica, Arte and, well, we’re not sure what the ‘D’ stands for, but otherwise it does what it says on the label. Alternative music blasts day and night, and photos and psychedelic art adorn the blood-red walls.

    Dioni's

    More a spot for a black coffee in the early hours, this relaxed and very gay-friendly place has an '80s cocktail-bar ambience and is the perfect spot in which to watch the Eurovision Song Contest.

    Bar Ondarra

    Head over to Gros for this terrific bar that's just across the road from the beach. There's a great chilled-out mixed crowd and, in the rockin' downstairs bar, every kind of sound gets aired.

    Soma 107

    Amsterdam in Donostia. Very laid-back venue where just hovering round the streetside hatch can get your mind drifting and where the creative interior is in keeping with the vibe.

    Altxerri Jazz Bar

    This jazz and blues temple has regular live gigs by local and international stars. Jamming sessions take over on nights with no gig and there's an in-house art gallery.

    Bar Bergara

    A popular, award-winning bar where things get hectic after midday. The bar groans with splendorous creations and even the barmen orchestrate in style.

    Low, neony lighting and colourful décor suit the very cool sounds for a fairly energetic crowd at this popular bar.

    M.A.D

    Musica, Arte and, well, we're not sure what the 'D' stands for, but otherwise it does what it says on the label. Alternative music blasts day and night, and photos and psychedelic art adorn the blood-red walls. There are a couple of similar places nearby.
