You'll be mixing with an eclectic clientele of bohemians, artists, gays and lesbians, students and tourists in this atmospheric old cafe-bar with its beautiful carved wooden ceiling. During the week you can relax and chat with only ambient backround music as a distraction. At weekends the selection turns to the chart hits of the moment. Find a space on either of the two floors or head for the lovely outdoor terrace in summer. You're surrounded by other good bars and clubs as well as historical sights in the heart of El Carmen district.

Touted to be one of the best cocktail bars in Valencia, Barcode lives up to its reputation. A warm and friendly place to enjoy a drink late in the evening with friends, this place is popular with locals as well as tourists. The bartenders are quite friendly, and will engage you in conversation while they mix you a mean drink. The prices are moderate, surprisingly so for such a trendy place.

Transport yourself to the tropics of Hawaii at Hawaika, a themed bar complete with bamboo furniture, vegetation, as well as aquariums and fountains, along with ancient Polynesian symbols. The place serves some mean and exotic cocktails, along with mocktails or ice cream sundaes for those not too keen on drinking. This place provides one with an experience quite different from that of the rest of Valencia.
