A general guide to bars in Murcia. Going out in Muria City takes a bit of getting used to if you're British. Whilst you can still go out the old fashioned English way (Go out at 7.00p.m. and be home in bed at 1.00a.m. the worse for wear) it's more interesting to try to be 'continental' in Murcia. Most places in Murcia don't liven up until around 1.30a.m. so you'll miss a lot of action if you're in bed too early. Here's a useful tip: To do justice to your night out in Murcia change your body clock to a Murcian night out by simply changing your watch by a couple of hours. Don't even think of going to a "proper" Murcia bar before 10.00pm. Earlier on, if you want to be around the place why not have a coffee in Plaza Cardenal Belluga (Cathedral Square) and admire the beautiful Cathedral. from there. You could then stroll to the Hotel Rincon de pepe (Apostoles, 34) for a cocktail in the "La Muralla" cocktail bar, one of the last remaining places in Murcia where the old Arab walls can still be seen. Here's a selection of some of the best bars in Murcia. Zanzibar (3 Calle Andres Baquero.) Here we have a busy small bar that serves just about every kind of drink you could ask for. Inside you'll find people relaxing with anything from a harvey wallbanger to a milkshake. Happy hour is on Wednesdays from 9-11pm where b.o.g.o.f. applies. El Bolo (29 Calle Vara del Rey.) This is a chilled out bar in the Old Town right in the middle of the party zone. There are live gigs on Tuesdays and also cocktail specials on Fridays and Saturdays. A good bar to start the night, then return for a drink later chill out. Itaca (7 Calle Mariano Vergara. Tel. 968 934 922) Again this is near the university. Quite an unusual bar in that it's both bookshop and a bar. Frequented by local students having coffee during the daytime, then in the evening a more mature crowd come in to sample the cocktails. Mojitos is the most requested drink. B12 (17 Calle Trinidade.) A trendy bar but fairly quiet early on in the evening. Nice place to grab an early drink to start the evening. Bar Warhol (25 Calle Victorio.) Heaven for those of you into Pop Art with copies of the Velvet Underground mentor's paintings on the walls. A sophisticated place that's ideal for a quiet chat and drink. One of the cooler bars in Murcia. La Bulla (Calle Montijo.) One of several Cuban style bars in Murcia serving mainly cocktails. Open till 3.30. Hermanos Rubio (3 Plaza Santa Isabel.) A traditional tapas bar not far from the cathedral in the centre of the City. If you order a sherry here they'll think you're a local. Mestizo (14 Doctor Fleming.) Chilled-out café during the day but at night it turns into a lively pub. riotous atmosphere later as opposed to chilled out earlier.. Josepe (9 Arquitecto Emilio Piñero.) This is an excellent tapas bar that stays open all day. There are lots of nostalgic past paintings and photographs of Murcia around the place. Try a pan con tomate and a sherry in the early evening for a change before your meal. The first bar in Murcia I call in.. Drexco (26 Trapería.) Nice place near Murcia's Cathedral serving coffee and non-alcoholic drinks. Probably the biggest choice of coffee in Murcia with beans from all over the world. It's open till 1am, playing relaxed music. Icaro (Plaza Beato A Hibermón.) Handy for Murcia University, in an area which is a lively student scene during term time. Again Icaro is a good place for an early evening drink. El Albergue (19 Calle Vara de Rey.) This place is open until 3, serves cocktails and has real music on Tuesdays. Youngersters love it and it really bounces at weekends. That should be enough for the first article on bars in Murcia City. There's plenty to be going on with anyway.. Should you visit any other Murcia clubs that you think deserve a mention then email me and let me have the lowdown. Cheers!!
