Entertainment in Santiago De Compostela

  1. A

    Discoteca Liberty

    A lot more late drinking and dancing goes on in the new town. People generally frequent the disco-pubs along Rúa da República Arxentina or rowdy Rúa Nova de Abaixo before hitting one of the evergreen discos like the cavernous Discoteca Liberty , which gets going around 04:00 on weekends.

    A Santiago classic, this atmospheric pub in the stables of an 18th-century mansion attracts all types and hosts occasional DJs, live music and exhibitions. It's reckoned to be Galicia's oldest 'pub' (since 1972).
