Valencia’s most active venue for jazz, boogaloo, funk and soul, Black Note has live music around midnight most nights and good canned sounds. It's a well-established, reliable place; admission, including first drink, ranges from free to €15, depending on who’s grooving. Wednesday-night jam sessions are always fun.
