Gibraltar offers a number of discotheques, pubs, nightclubs and restaurants offering a lively evening ambience, and quite often live entertainment as well. Most of the nightlife spots British-style, the opening hours are similar to those in nearby Spain, where many establishments begin opening in the evening and remain so until the wee hours of the morning. |
After dark, the nightlife bustle starts at the south of Main Street's western end downtown Gibraltar to a parallel street known formally as Irish Town, and informally as "Back Street." Two of the best bars here are The Clipper, 78B Irish Town (tel. 350-797-91), and The Royal Oak, 59C Irish Town (tel. 350-717-08). Both the bar serve English breakfasts throughout the day and evening and set and moderately priced course.
Other recommended pubs include All's Well, Grand Casemates Square (tel. 350-729-87), known for its Bass beers and steak and ale pie; The Star Bar, Parliament Lane (tel. 350-759-24), said to be the oldest bar in Gib; and Lord Nelson Bar Brasserie, 10 Casemates Sq. (tel. 350-500-09), done out to represent Nelson's ship with a cloud and sky ceiling crossed with beams, containing a spacious terrace.
Gamblers can check out Ladbrokes Casino, 7 Europa Rd. (tel. 350-766-66), which requires smart casual dress.
