Bar Abaco
This bar's over-the-top baroque exuberance sets it apart from its humble setting. Urns and baskets of fresh flowers and fruit tumble onto the floor; stone pillars and vaulted ceilings, tall candles, and ambient opera music fill the space.
6 Best Bars in Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza and the Balearic Islands
Mallorca's nightlife is never hard to find. Many of the hot spots are concentrated 6 km (4 miles) west of Palma at Punta Portals, in Portals Nous, where the royal yacht is moored when former king Juan Carlos I comes to Mallorca in early August for the Copa del Rey international regatta. Another major area is Avinguda Gabriel Roca. This section of the Passeig Marítim holds many taverns, pubs, and clubs. The network of streets in the old town, around Carrer Apuntadores, is also prime barhopping territory.
Wineing
Tucked down Carrer dels Apuntadors, Wineing is a great place to try wines from across the island and beyond. Its self-service, credit-card-operated system dispenses small tastings (or larger glasses, if you feel inclined), plus a menu of tapas, cheese platters, and grilled meats for sharing.
Carrer dels Apuntadors
On the west side of Passeig des Born in the old town, this street is lined with casual bars and cafés that appeal to night owls in their twenties and thirties. On weekends, you often see impromptu live rock and pop performed on small stages.

Casino de Mallorca
Palma's casino is a short distance from the harbor. Entrance costs €8 and includes a drink; you'll need to show a passport, driver's license, or other official photo ID to enter. Dress is informal, but T-shirts, shorts, and sandals are frowned on. No-limit poker tables and Texas Hold'em tournaments are the big attraction here. It's open daily 10 am–5 am.
Jazz Voyeur Club
Some of Palma's best jazz combos—and the occasional rock group—play this small, smoky club in the old port-side neighborhood. There's music every night, and it keeps going until 3 am on Friday and Saturday.
Plaça de la Llotja
This square and the surrounding streets are the place for copas (drinking, tapas sampling, and general carousing).
