Introduction
The Mallorca Cocktail Bars List We Send to Friends
Palma's cocktail scene splits into a few distinct personalities, and the good news is you don't have to choose just one for a night out. There's the speakeasy strand: Quentin's Saloon and Quentin's American Bar, run by the same ownership group but staged as two entirely different worlds, one a western saloon with an extensive whiskey list, the other a tropical, New Orleans-inflected room on the waterfront. A few streets over, Door 13 keeps a genuine coded-door entrance from its clandestine origins, with live music running most nights.

A Guide to Cocktail Bars in Mallorca
What to know
A few of Palma's best-known cocktail bars are built around a speakeasy conceit, whether that's a literal password (Quentin's Saloon, Quentin's American Bar) or a coded door with a history of genuine word-of-mouth entry (Door 13). That's a real strand of the city's drinking culture, not just a gimmick borrowed from elsewhere, and it tends to come with extensive spirit lists (whiskey especially) rather than just a short cocktail menu. Outside the capital, cocktail bars tend to lean on setting: rooftop or harbourfront views are as much the point as the drink itself.
How We Built This List
Years of Eating, Asking, and Going Back
This list is built from Guidavera's own venue records for Mallorca: each bar's own website, menu and about pages where available, cross-checked against aggregated review signal from platforms like TripAdvisor, RestaurantGuru and Wanderlog. Venues are ranked by Guidavera's internal category scoring, which weighs verified detail, consistency of review sentiment and how distinct each bar's identity is within the category. Where sourced details conflicted (opening hours in particular, for a couple of the speakeasies), we've flagged that in the entry rather than guessing.

The ranking
12 Best Cocktail Bars in Mallorca
After Landing Cocktail Art1. After Landing Cocktail Art — Three Argentine owners built a bar around theatrical, colourful cocktails and named it for landing jobs the moment they arrived in Palma.
After Landing Cocktail Art sits just off Plaça Major in Palma's Old Town, opened by three Argentine friends who named the place after landing work as soon as they arrived from Argentina. The draw is presentation: the Watermelon Sugar arrives in a ceramic watermelon cup, and the Patroncita is a spiced mango margarita, both built for the kind of drink you photograph before you sip. The room leans cosy, with red decor and brass details, and every round comes with complimentary filtered water and snacks (crisps, olives, nuts). Reviewers keep naming bartenders Tomás and Blas specifically, which says something about how the staff treats you. Good for a relaxed night that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Quentin's Saloon


2. Quentin's Saloon — A password gets you into this western-themed sister bar to Quentin's American Bar, built around whiskey and custom cocktails.
Quentin's Saloon is the Santa Catalina half of the Quentin's Group's two speakeasies, run alongside Quentin's American Bar across town in El Terreno. Where that sister venue plays a tropical, New Orleans-inflected mood, the Saloon commits fully to a western-saloon theme: total immersion, an extensive whiskey list, and cocktails like the Saloon, the Duchess Santa Catalina and Quentin's Sidecar. You need a password to get in, which reviewers seem to enjoy rather than resent, and the write-ups consistently praise fast, professional bartenders in a relaxed, late-night setting built for whiskey drinkers. Opening-hours listings conflict across sources, so it's worth confirming via Instagram or phone before you go.
Nº11 Gastrobar


3. Nº11 Gastrobar — Chef Bonnie Han's Asian-European small plates meet a cocktail programme on what the team calls the only rooftop terrace in Port d'Andratx.
Nº11 Gastrobar opened in 2021 in Port d'Andratx, in the space that used to be Romeo's, from owner Daniel Verrier, a former TV commercial producer turned hospitality owner. The Asian-European fusion menu comes from chef Bonnie Han of Nama in Deià, and the cocktail list gets equal billing with the small plates across three distinct spaces: a front terrace, a first-floor lounge and a rooftop terrace with bay and hillside views. It's a sister concept to the team's restaurant Verico. Reviewers highlight the harbour views from the rooftop specifically, alongside creative, shareable dishes and attentive service. Kitchen hours run shorter than the bar (13:00 to 18:00), open Wednesday to Sunday.
Door 134. Door 13 — What started as a genuine word-of-mouth speakeasy is now a candlelit, theatrical cocktail room with live music several nights a week.
Door 13 began as an actual clandestine speakeasy, the kind you only found out about because someone passed you the entry code. It's opened up to the public since, but kept the coded door and the 1920s decor: vintage sofas, armchairs, mirrored dressing tables and a room that mixes furniture from different eras into something cosy and candlelit. Live music runs Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, swing to flamenco, and reviewers describe attentive staff who'll walk you through the cocktail list. Cocktails start from 12 euros, mocktails from 10. It's closed Monday and Tuesday, and you can message ahead or ring the bell if you don't have the code.
Arlequin Restaurant & Cocktail Bar


5. Arlequin Restaurant & Cocktail Bar — Cocktails arrive in porcelain Mad Hatter pots inside a circus-themed manor house near Plaça Santa Eulàlia.
Arlequin Restaurant & Cocktail Bar leans hard into a circus and mad-hatter theme, set in a 19th-century Majorcan manor house on Carrer de Santa Eulàlia. The cocktails are the headline act, served in distinctive porcelain vessels, and the kitchen backs them up with small plates like crispy prawns, pulled pork nachos and a smash burger duo with bourbon sauce, truffle mayo and raclette. Board games sit on the tables and there's a vintage Pac-Man machine in the corner, which tells you the mood: playful rather than serious. It's closed Wednesdays, open other days from midday to around 2am, and there are vegetarian options on the food menu if cocktails alone aren't the plan.
Quentin's American Bar


6. Quentin's American Bar — The El Terreno counterpart to Quentin's Saloon swaps the western theme for tropical-elegance, New Orleans-inflected cocktails on the waterfront.
Quentin's American Bar is the El Terreno half of the same Quentin's Group that runs Quentin's Saloon in Santa Catalina, positioned on the Palma waterfront near the harbour on Avinguda de Gabriel Roca. Where the Saloon goes western, this one is built around a tropical-elegance, New Orleans-inflected speakeasy mood, and coverage consistently frames it as an upscale night out rather than a casual bar. Reviewers describe it as chic, with innovative cocktails matching the waterfront setting. As with its sister venue, opening-hours listings conflict between sources (some show a daily schedule, others Friday and Saturday only), so confirm current hours via Instagram or phone before making a trip out.
7. George's — Cocktails and harbour views on Port de Sóller's seafront promenade, with food that ranges from fresh seafood to poke bowls.
George's sits right on Port de Sóller's Paseo de la Playa, pairing quality-spirit cocktails and signature drinks with a food menu that spans fresh seafood, poke bowls and avocado toast. The outdoor seating looks straight over the harbour, and reviewers consistently call out that marina view as the standout of an evening here, alongside attentive, friendly service. It works equally well as a sit-down evening cocktail spot or a relaxed daytime stop if you're in Sóller for the day. There's no independently confirmed hours listing beyond the venue's own address and phone, so it's worth calling ahead if you're planning around specific timing.
Brassclub


8. Brassclub — Bartender Rafa Martín runs a New York-club-inspired cocktail bar with its own branded gin, beer and vermouth.
Brassclub takes its cues from New York-style cocktail clubs, led by bartender Rafa Martín in central Palma. Alongside signature cocktails (cocteles de autor) and classic options, the bar produces its own branded drinks: a gin called Sa Roqueta, a craft beer called aBrass, and a red vermouth. The room is stylish and intimate, with notable architecture and a moderate energy that reviewers say suits a real conversation over drinks, soft background music included. It's on the pricier side for Palma. Hours run Monday to Thursday 18:00 to 1:30, Friday and Saturday 17:00 to 2:30, and Sunday 18:00 to 1:30.
Mango Lounge


9. Mango Lounge — An Asian-influenced cocktail bar in Port d'Alcúdia that's picked up recognition at the LIV Hospitality Design Awards.
Mango Lounge blends Asian-influenced interior design with Mediterranean energy in Port d'Alcúdia, pouring signature cocktails with Asian touches alongside international drinks. The venue has been recognised at the LIV Hospitality Design Awards for its design, and the space reads as cosy and stylish rather than loud. It's open evenings only, Monday to Saturday from 7pm to 2am, closed Sundays, which makes it a solid option for a night out on the north side of the island rather than a daytime stop. Good if you're staying in Alcúdia and want a cocktail bar that isn't trying to be a beach bar.
Mirall Bar (Nobis Hotel)


10. Mirall Bar (Nobis Hotel) — The Nobis Hotel's bar has been called the largest lounge in Palma, with an Afro house DJ on Saturdays.
Mirall Bar occupies a historic building at the Nobis Hotel in Palma's Old Town, and reviewers describe it as feeling more like a luxurious living room than a typical hotel bar, thanks to high ceilings and a terrace. Signature cocktails, the Paloma, the Oh Honey and the Baddu, are all priced at 16 euros. Hotel guests get priority access to a first-floor room until 7pm, but the bar and terrace welcome outside visitors too, and a DJ plays Afro house on Saturday evenings. Service gets consistent praise for being attentive, though a few reviewers note some inconsistency in the drinks themselves. Cigar smoking isn't permitted on the terrace.
Ventuno Bar Italiano


11. Ventuno Bar Italiano — A family-run Italian bar in Santa Catalina where cocktails share the menu with pizza, tapas and real espresso.
Ventuno Bar Italiano is a family-run spot in Santa Catalina that makes cocktails one part of a bigger Italian food-and-drink offer: pizza, tapas, tiramisu and proper espresso alongside wine and cocktails. Reviewers describe attentive, knowledgeable staff and a lively room popular with both locals and tourists, and they single out the pizza and tiramisu as often as the drinks themselves. It's closed on Sundays. If you want a cocktail bar that doubles as a full dinner rather than a pre-dinner stop, this is the one on this list built for that.
Bar LAB (LAB Cocktail Bar)12. Bar LAB (LAB Cocktail Bar) — Also a working bartending academy, with more than 250 spirits behind the counter and classes for people who want to learn the craft.
LAB, full name Cocktail Bar, Food & Bartending Solutions, pairs a Santa Catalina cocktail bar with an actual bartending academy: cocktail-making classes, workshops and themed party nights run alongside the regular service. The room has a vintage, London-inspired character, and the counter stocks over 45 gins and 50-plus whiskies, plus rums, vodkas, tequilas and mezcals, backing classic cocktails with a twist. Food runs aperitivo-style: cheese and meat platters, tapas, salads, nachos with guacamole. Reviewers regularly call it one of the best cocktail bars in Santa Catalina, citing good value and a lively crowd of locals and expats mixed together.
The bigger picture
The Cocktail Bars Scene in Mallorca
This list exists because 'cocktail bar' in Mallorca can mean a password speakeasy, a hotel lounge, a harbourfront terrace or a family-run Italian spot that happens to shake a good drink, and those are genuinely different nights out. We built it around Palma's Santa Catalina and Old Town clusters, where most of the island's dedicated cocktail bars sit within a short walk of each other, plus a handful of standouts worth the drive to Port d'Andratx, Port de Sóller and Port d'Alcúdia.
