  8. Pacha

    In business on the northern side of Ibiza City's port since 1973 (nowadays with branches from New York to Moscow) and containing 15 bars, Pacha, is one of Ibiza's many sybaritic disco palaces.

  11. Teatro Pereira

    Away from the waterfront hubbub, this is a lively bar, packed most nights with a more eclectic crowd than the standard preclubbing bunch. It often has live music sessions. Out back is the much abandoned 1893 theatre. For years there has been talk of restoring it. As island heritage it can't be torn down, but owners and council have yet to find a formula for renovation.

  13. Zoo Ibiza

    Carrer de Barcelona, a pedestrian-only street that runs parallel with the harbour, is lined with high-energy bars. Most have tall tables and stools out on the street, and all pump out loud music. Most places employ slick and persuasive touts to 'invite' passers-by to join them for a drink, sometimes with the lure of discounted passes to the clubs. A popular one is Zoo Ibiza.
