Nightlife & bars
Marbella nightlife runs from polished cocktail bars in the Old Town to Puerto Banús's late-night superclubs. Most spots open late and stay open later — dress codes apply to the high-end venues, and reservations are almost always a good idea.

El Estrecho
An Old Town institution on the narrow Calle San Lazaro, serving tapas and good vermouth since 1954 from a bar full of character. Homemade croquettes, meatballs, anchovies and Russian salad are the draw, eaten standing or at a handful of tables down the alley. One of Marbella's most cherished tapas bars and a fine, authentic place to begin a night out.

Designed for groups who want eating and partying under one roof.

Doors open late, the dress code is sharp, and the views carry the night.

La Taberna del Pintxo
A Basque-style pintxo bar near the Old Town on Avenida Miguel Cano, with interiors of wood and exposed brick inspired by northern Spanish houses. Cold pintxos are chosen from the bar while waiters circle with hot ones, and the skewers are counted up at the end. A relaxed, sociable place to graze and start the evening before heading out.
