If there was just one bar to recommend in Granada, it would be this one. Come here for the best range of tablas (platters of cold meats, cheeses and pates) and tapas in town. The food and drinks are presented beautifully in an atmosphere where time seems to have stood still. The clay floor, tiled walls, bulls' heads, wine barrels, aged wood bar, and mirrors make this a perfect example of the Andalusian tavern. Unlike the old days, though, the bar staff are agreeably friendly, efficient, and professional. It's always full of animated people enjoying eachother's company as much as the beer and tapas.

Local beer and free tapas. What more could you ask for? So you hop in for a couple of lagers and get to gorge on homemade sandwiches served with fries and mouth-watering dips. Served tapas-style, the food keeps coming as you order more drinks. A local favorite, this shoebox size bar near Plaza Nueva, with its arms and suits of armor is an excellent place for a quick bite and to rub shoulders with locals.
Come to this atmospheric cave-cum-tavern for the live shows they put on three or four times a week. Dine first, then watch a flamenco show or some Middle Eastern belly dancing or listen to a fascinating story told live by a professional storyteller. The menu offers typical local dishes like broad beans with cured ham or baked aubergines. It's worth choosing some meat for the main course as the kitchen has a wood-fired oven that imparts a special flavour to roasts. There is a good selection of wines and beers as well. Shows start after 11p. Don't be fooled by the tiny entrance, it's a spacious cave inside.
