Best Nightlife in Valencia (2026)

Nights out in Valencia start late and have several distinct centres. The Barrio del Carmen, in the old town, is the most atmospheric, with terraces around the Plaza del Tossal and the Plaza del Negrito. Here you will find Radio City, a music bar since 1979 known for its Tuesday flamenco nights, and Jimmy Glass, the city's long-running jazz club, which opens on concert nights and takes bookings by email. Café de las Horas, near the Plaza de la Virgen, is a good place to try Agua de Valencia, the local cocktail of orange juice, cava and spirits.

Café Madrid, a short walk from the Plaza de la Reina, is credited as the birthplace of Agua de Valencia and makes a classic first stop. For a seated flamenco performance, Café del Duende near the Torres de Quart has shows from Thursday to Sunday, and Loco Club in Extramurs hosts more than 200 concerts a year. Ruzafa, south of the Estació del Nord, is the other main area, with independent bars such as Olhöps Craft Beer House. Dinner rarely starts before 21:00, so bars fill late. Agua de Valencia is stronger than it tastes, so pace yourself.
