Yuppii Club
Another regular on the Palma gay circuit, Yuppii Club is a drinking bar with a good mix of music and plenty of dark corners.

Quina Creu
A newcomer riding the wave of popularity in this new night-time hub, Quina Creu has more sophistication than most. The bar has a designer feel, as do the tapas lined up along the bar and chalked up on the blackboard. But above all, it's a funky place to nurse a drink or two and watch the crowds streaming past outside.

L'Ambigú
Tucked in behind the Església de Santa Eulalia, this irresistible little bar rocks on Tuesday and Wednesday nights when you can scarcely see the tapas perched atop the bar, but we like it any night for its sense of a tiny hub of modern, casual sophistication beneath the high stone walls of medieval Palma.

Jamón Jamón
It may lack the obvious personality of some of the other bars in the area, but this place packs them in most nights, not least because the €2 offer from La Ruta Martiana for a drink and a tapa is not restricted here to Tuesday and Wednesday.

Es Jaç
This designer cocktail bar is slick in all the right places, with stunning decor and bar staff who know their cocktails and are adept at helping those who aren't really sure what they want.

Ca La Seu
Set in an artfully converted 500-year-old barn of a place, this is one of our favourite bars in Palma with marble-top tables, creative tapas to accompany your drinks and an agreeable buzz most nights. If other places come and go in the neighbourhood, we reckon this place is destined to last the distance.

Blue Jazz Club
Located on the 7th floor of the Hotel Saratoga, this sophisticated club with high-altitude views over Palma offers after-dinner jazz and blues concerts from Thursday to Saturday, and a Monday evening jam session. Admission may be free but you're expected to buy a drink.

Teatre Principal
Built in 1854 and restored in 2007, this is the city's prestige theatre for drama, opera and big-name concerts. The renovation works re-created the theatre's heyday majesty of 1860 and combined it with the latest technolog, resulting in great acoustics.

Soho
This self-proclaimed 'urban vintage bar' has a green-lit beer fridge, red walls (with some 1960s decor), low white ceilings, fabulous velour sofas and an otherwise wonderfully retro look. The music's mostly indie and the laid-back crowd mostly seems oblivious to the traffic pounding past the footpath tables.

Mar Salada
Famed as the favourite club of Spain's Prince Felipe – at least before he became a father of two – this laid-back venue in the Club de Mar draws a sophisticated crowd. The standard entry is around €15 but, to keep the pedigree, erm, royal, some punters might be charged more.

Hostal Cuba Colonial
Inhabiting an early-20th-century Santa Catalina landmark for sailors passing through Palma, this place has been reborn as a watering hole of a more sophisticated kind. You'll find everything from coffee to full meals, and a chill-out zone on the 1st floor.

Guiness House
It's all about location here between the Catedral and the sea. The views of the former are unrivalled, especially whe floodlit at night. It's at its best for an early-morning coffee before the crowds arrive, or after dark.

Cappuccino
You’ll pay more for your coffee fix here, but the coffee's good, the atmosphere sophisticated and the setting the perfect place to pause on your exploration of downtown. This is one of nearly a dozen hyperhip coffee houses belonging to Cappuccino, a Mallorcan chain, which also produces its own lounge-music CDs.

Café Lisboa
The curved timber bar gives this place a homey appeal. When some Latin and bossa-nova sounds get thrown on, it gets even better; check out Brazil night on Wednesdays from midnight. It fills up quickly on evenings that live music is staged.

Café L'Antiquari
This old antique shop has been transformed into one of the most original places in Palma to nurse a drink or two. Antiques adorn every corner and inch of wall space, and even the tables and chairs belong to another age. It also has occasional live music and the coffee is unbeatable.

Atlantico Café
This is one of the most enticing bars in town. Think cocktails (€7), 'Hotel California' for the music and US car number plates on the walls (along with generous and ever-expanding swaths of graffiti).

Q
Abaco
Behind a set of ancient timber doors is this extraordinary bar. Inhabiting the restored patio of an old Mallorcan house, Abaco is filled with ornate candelabra, elaborate floral arrangements, cascading towers of fresh fruit, and bizarre artworks. It hovers between extravagant and kitsch, but the effect is overwhelming whatever your opinion. Paying this much for a cocktail is an outrage, but one might just be worth it here.

Puro Beach
This laid-back, sunset chill lounge carries more than a hint of Ibiza with a tapering outdoor promontory over the water and an all-white bar that’s perfect for sunset cocktails, DJ sessions and fusion-food escapes. Blend in with the monochrome decor and wear white, emphasising your designer tan. It is just a two-minute walk east of Cala Estancia (itself just east of Ca’n Pastilla).
