Nightlife
1 Anden Plaza de Uncibay Disco-bar with a wild crowd. Opening time: Fri & Sat only, until very late
2 Asúcar Junction of c/Juan de Padilla & c/Lazcano west of Plaza de Uncibay The place to come for salsa in Málaga.
3 La Botellita Pasaje Mitjana, slightly west of Plaza Uncibay. Wild place packed to the rafters with young local revellers dancing to the tunes of the Spanish Top 40. Opening time: Daily until late
4 Calle de Bruselas Plaza de la Merced 16 A laid-back, largely gay, Belgian-style bar with lively terrace that stays open into the small hours.
5 Cervecería Brow Beer c/Ángel 3 off c/Granada Bar specializing in a wide variety of world beers. Serious drinkers at midday, youthful revellers at night. Also serves tapas.

7 Luna Rubia Pasaje Mitjana 4, slightly west of Plaza de Uncibay Wide range of international sounds and open till dawn. At the end of this alley, the tiny Plaza Marqués Vado del Maestre is filled with drinking bars and plenty of night-time action.
8 
El Pimpi c/Granada 62 Cavernous and hugely popular bodega- style bar serving up (among other concoctions) tasty vino dulce by the glass or bottle. Do a bit of celebrity-spotting on their wall of photos (including a young Antonio Banderas) and don't miss a superb terrace (with Alcazaba view) out the back. A great place to kick-start the evening.
9 Puerta Oscura c/Molina Lario 5 near the cathedral Slightly incongruous classical-music bar – sometimes with live performers – which also mounts art exhibitions; serves cocktails, ices and baguettes. T-shirts are definitely a no-no here. Opening time: Daily until 3am
10 Siempre Asi c/Convalecientes, north of Plaza Uncibay Another late-opening bar specializing in Spanish rock and techno. Opening time: Thurs– Sat 11pm–3.30am
