Palma bars: frequently asked questions

What is the best bar in Palma?

Bar Abaco in La Lonja tops the 2026 ranking, a baroque cocktail room in a former merchant's house that the Financial Times once called surely the most remarkable bar in the world. For a rooftop, the Hostal Cuba Sky Bar frames the cathedral and marina.

Which neighbourhood in Palma is best for bars?

Santa Catalina is the leading drinks district, an old fishermen's quarter packed with cocktail and vermouth bars. La Lonja, the medieval old town by the harbour, holds the historic cocktail rooms and tapas terraces. Both are walkable from the cathedral.

How much do cocktails cost in Palma?

Expect 9 to 14 euros for a cocktail at most Palma bars, rising to 17 euros and up at premium rooms such as Bar Abaco. Vermouth and a tapa run far cheaper, around 3 to 5 euros a glass.

When is the best time to go bar-hopping in Palma?

Locals start late. Vermouth hour runs from about 1pm on weekends, terraces fill from 8pm, and cocktail bars stay busy until 1am. For sunset over the cathedral, reach the Hostal Cuba Sky Bar by 8pm in summer.
