Best places to get your party pants on in Valencia, Spain


Nightlife in VLC is absolutely Phe-nom-en-al! There is something for everyone, whether you prefer hipster Indie bars, Internationally renowned DJ's, chill out bars, or dance till the AM.

By the Beach
By the beach (Malvarrosa) along Eugenia Vines, the prices can be a little steep, but these bars have a ton of glitz and are much more affordable than these types of bars in other major cities.
My pick: Ghanahara: prices are around 7 Euros a cocktail, 5 Euros for beer, but this Indian-themed "Elegant" lounge has a great atmosphere and chic decor. Be wary that the clubs around here don't open till midnight or later.

By Torres de Quart
This has to be hands down my favorite place to get my party pants on. Along Calle de Quart, there are numerous dance clubs that stay open till the sun comes up.
My picks:
blau Calle Alta 11, Barrio El Carmen. This chill out lounge has great music and a hip vibe. During the night, Mauro and his crew dish out the best Mojitos this side of Cuba.
Music Box: Calle Pintor Zarinena between Guillem de Castro and Calle Maria Cristinal. Open from Midnight to 7AM, the Music Box dishes up everything from House to Beastie Boys to Janet. Come by early for cheaper drinks and a discounted entrance.
Cafe Lisboa, Directly behind La Lonja. Cafe Lisboa (3PM to 2AM) serves up 3.50 pints, 1.50 glasses of wine, and 7 Euro pitches of Aigua de Valencia, the region's famed concoction of OJ, champagne, vodka, and other liquors.

Elegant
L'Umbracle, in the City of Arts and Sciences has a 15 Euro admission (which includes one drink) but the surrounding architecture, beats, and go-go dancers are worth every penny. When else are you going to be in a club surrounded by some of the best modern architecture in the world?

Now where are my chupitos?
