Places to Eat in Palma?

Eating out in Majorca is a huge deal and as your wondering around any city in Spain you will 100% see families eating their meals at 9pm, sometimes even 11pm. Palma has a never ending choice of restaurants and cafes depending on your taste’s, mostly very reasonably priced so you don’t break the bank! For local dishes, a favourite for locals and travellers alike is Bar España. Classic by name and nature, this teeny tapas bar on Carrer de Can Escursac will blow your mind with both traditional and unique tapas dishes that are cheap as chips. For a more expensive occasion, try the upscale tapas that’s offered in Ombu tapas restaurant. This eatery is situated central to Palma, and you can sit outside to watch the world go by while you dine.

You might be surprised to find a whole manner of cuisine’s reside in the capital of Mallorca. All kinds of food have found their way to this little Spanish island and become favourites for anyone looking for good, hearty good. Indian cuisine is just as popular here as in places like Manchester and Birmingham, and Basmati Indian restaurant is a shining example of this as it’s always busy (make sure to book!) Likewise, you can find juicy burgers and crispy fries American-style at La Nueva Burgesa. The burger combos here are perfect to line your stomachs before the night out, too.

Whilst in the wonderful city of Palma you’ll want to really experience what the city has to offer, including its specialities when it comes to food. When you’re out there be sure to look out for coca de patata which is a sweet bread-like bun made from potato flour and dusted with icing sugar. It’s a great option if your wanting something sweet. If your fancying a savoury item then the pa amboli will be perfect, it’s a snack of bread and olive oil which is often served with cheese, cured ham or chorizo!

La Lonja

La Lonja is also known as the Old Town which is the heart of the city’s nightlife. It’s probably one of the best places to go for a late-night bite to eat or heading out into some of the pubs, cocktail bars and sky bars. First up on our list is probably the most popular bar in La Lonja and the surrounding nightlife districts of Palma, Bar Abaco. This longstanding favourite is all about the Spanish culture, with ancient interior that focuses on art and local produce. The prices increase inside, but a slightly more expensive pint is so worth it for the memories this place will give you!

For something way more laid-back, try some bar nibbles and a local brew at Café la Lonja. This small bar is a great place to start your night, collect your bearings and line your stomachs with a bit of grub before you go full throttle! For a lick of the British charm in a Spanish setting, get yourselves over to The Tavern for a few drinks. This lively little pub will make you feel at home in no time, and is always busy on the weekends all the way up to closing at 3am.

Santa Catalina

Santa Catalina is an area that is bustling with people in the evening due to the vast amount of watering holes including late night bars. This region is made up of cocktail bars that focus on great drinks and a sense of style, while still being just as welcoming as La Lonja. If you’re on the hunt for super quirky décor and even crazier drinks, LAB Cocktail Bar is the ultimate watering hole in Palma. The cocktails here have a kick, and the bar is weird and wonderful inside. For something a bit more on the subdued side, Santa Catalina has you covered with Coupe cocktail bar. Slightly more expensive, you’re guaranteed to leave with a wobble in your step as these drinks are strong and very drinkable!

Is your groom to be a massive movie buff? He’s blend in like a charm at Atomic Garden, a blockbuster themed bar that’s full of hilarious references and unique IPA’s. You could spend hours reminiscing over your favourite films in this unique bar - pair that with a few drinks and you’ve got a winner. Last but not least, we’ve got to mention Cerveceria Tramuntana. One of Palma’s most well-known microbreweries, definitely pay this pub a visit if you’re a beer lover.

Paseo Marítimo

Paseo Marítimo is the area that has a buzz all night, full of restaurants and bars to start your night off in.  This district of the city starts off with a low hum of hustle and bustle during the early evening and turns into a busy nightlife haven after the dark! A lot of people in Spain leave their last meal of the day until close to 9pm, so why not fill your bellies and then head off to the nearest bar in Paseo Marítimo! The perfect venue pull off this combo is the classic Hard Rock Café! You can’t go wrong with traditional American dishes and massive pints of beer, right lads?

For something a little more traditional to Spain, might we suggest you enjoy Mojito bar for a few? This spacious venue has ample seating, good quality service and even a pool table if you want to get a rally going through the evening! Speaking of rallies, it wouldn’t be a last night of freedom without a dip into a sports bar, and Hogan’s sports bar is the place to be in Palma. For all your footy catch up and electrifying atmosphere make sure Hogan’s in on your list to visit.

Nightclubs in Palma

You might be surprised by the amount of nightclubs that are hidden away around Palma, because there’s loads! Overall, the capital of Mallorca is definitely underestimated when it comes to late night venues that will make you dance. However, one infamous nightclub that’s a must is Tito’s nightclub. Named as an ‘International Club’, Tito’s is more on the pricey side but you definitely get what you pay for. Bright lights, big performers and unmatched events are all reasons why Tito’s is ever-popular with groups.

If a big night out at Tito’s doesn’t appeal to you, not to worry! Try Social Club Mallorca, a boutique club with a pretty impressive appearance. Once you’re drawn in, you’ll find multiple rooms to party in, plus an outdoor terrace when the evenings are warm, performers and events all year round. For a more intimate night out in a smaller venue, there’s always Kaelum club that will welcome you with open arms.

What Are the Reasons to Visit Palma?

Reasonably Priced

Palma is, for the most part, underrated. This means the prices are really great for eating, drinking and nightlife but still hold the same quality as party places like Ibiza and Marbella.

Cracking Culture

Palma has done an awesome job of mixing culture with the modern day, and you can learn a little about the island by visiting places like the Cathedral de la Palma or Miró Foundation.

Sand & Sea

The beaches in Palma are second to none and so close to all the shops and city dwelling. There’s a mighty 200 beaches around Mallorca, but Palma beach is definitely the most popular.

The Cuisine

Spanish tapas is well-loved all around the world, but no one does it quite like the Balearic Islands!

Stag Do Activities

Although the island is small and the capital little, the volume of activities on offer is astounding. Make sure you pack your weekend with fun while you’re here!

The Weather

Nothing will rain on your parade while celebrating a last night of freedom in Palma. The weather is nice all year round, but especially between May and September.

How to Get Around Palma?

When you’re sipping beers all day and taking shots at night, the last thing you want to worry about is transport around the city and island of Mallorca. Make sure you’ve got a basic grasp on the best transportation on the island before you jet off so you can focus all your attention on the celebrations. If your accommodation is close to the city, you can forget having to hire a car. Buses run in and out of the city all the way up to 11pm, and once you’re in the city you can explore mostly everything by foot. This way you can see all the juicy gems in between!

Any later than 11pm, and we suggest you take the easy route and grab a taxi. There’s tons of taxis that are parked and waiting outside the bars and nightclubs around Palma. The fares are very reasonable and split between a group of guys you won’t notice a couple of euros here and there.
