5 Best Nightlife in Castile–Leon and Castile–La Mancha, Spain

This petite, unpretentious coctelería off the Plaza Mayor serves an enormous breadth of drinks, from colorful tiki numbers (some with pyrotechnics) to Prohibition-era classics, until 1:30 am daily.

This intimate bar stays open until 4:30 am on the weekends, inviting you to stay awhile—and you just might, thanks to its strong and affordable drinks and catchy throwback jams.

Also known by its translated name, Mist Cocktail Bar, this award-winning mixology lab slings truly inventive cocktails with a big focus on local spirits and sherry wines. One of their most unconventional sips is laced with truffle bitters and is presented with a miniature staircase leading to the glass, and a tiny mouse figurine holding a slice of aged cheese. They also host lively jazz nights on Thursdays that start around 10 pm. 

With 12 beers on tap that run the gamut from Belgian ales to rare Castilian microbrews, this Burgos stalwart attracts a diverse crowd of students, travelers, and beer geeks. Just don't expect any fancy food here—potato chips, nachos, and other sundry snacks are the only grub available.

Sip fabulously gaudy cocktails both classic and experimental at this bar that also pulls excellent single-origin espressos. Weather permitting, try to snag a spot on the large outdoor patio.
