Best Cocktail Bars in Palma

Brassclub takes its cues from New York-style cocktail clubs, led by bartender Rafa Martín on Passeig de Mallorca in central Palma. Alongside signature cocktails (cócteles 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 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.

Ginbo sits on Passeig de Mallorca, the boulevard that splits central Palma from Santa Catalina, built around a gin collection of more than a hundred labels from around the world and over 350 spirits total. The bartenders guide guests through the list rather than leaving you to pick blind, and reviewers consistently call out that knowledge alongside a fun, funky interior and a cozy terrace out front. It runs toward the pricier end for cocktails in Palma, and TripAdvisor reviewers back that up at 4.3/5 across 231 reviews.

Bar Nicolás sits on Plaça del Mercat in central Palma, operated by Grupo Amida, a hospitality group that also runs several Michelin-recognised Mallorca restaurants. The bar describes itself as 'versatile, cosmopolitan and with a bistro touch,' pairing classic cocktails and gin tonics from around 80 different gins with a bistro food menu that includes an iberico board with aged cheeses. It's open daily, closing at 1am Sunday through Wednesday and 2am Thursday through Saturday. Reviewers praise the bartenders and gin selection, though the terrace tables sit close enough together that it's not the spot for a quiet, private conversation.

Agabar leans fully into its Mexican-fiesta concept on Carrer de la Fàbrica in Santa Catalina, pouring one of Palma's broadest agave-spirit selections alongside creative cocktails and Mexican snacks like homemade guacamole. The recently renovated interior runs moody and plush, with a curated soul, funk and electronic playlist and an outdoor terrace on a lively Santa Catalina street. It doesn't take reservations, so it's first-come, first-served, and being walk-in only, it tends to fill up in the evenings.

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.

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.

Chapeau 1987 sits on Passeig de Mallorca, built around a whisky collection of more than 200 references served alongside a curated, author-driven cocktail menu. The room leans old-school, wood panelling, marble and velvet under cosy lighting, with reviewers describing a relaxed, elegant mix of locals and tourists and attentive bartenders. There's both indoor seating and a terrace, and a third-party listing puts the average cocktail price around 12 euros. Sources give conflicting relaunch years for the space, so no specific founding date is claimed here beyond the '1987' in its name.

Bar Abaco occupies a restored building in Palma's La Lonja/Born old-town area, styled with elaborate Baroque decor: fresh flowers, antiques and candles, and reviewers regularly call the entrance and interior a highlight in themselves. The drinks list runs through classic cocktails (Manhattan, Negroni, Daiquiri and Dry Martini among them), cava and champagne, and desserts and coffee, but the venue's own site is explicit that it doesn't take table reservations: it's walk-ins only. The mood runs loud, better suited to groups and celebrations than a quiet catch-up, and it opens nightly from 20:00.

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.

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.

Sky Bar sits atop the four-star Hotel Hostal Cuba in Santa Catalina, serving cocktails nightly from 18:00 to 1:30 alongside panoramic views over the Bay of Palma and the city's cathedral, per the hotel's own site. The rooftop also programmes DJ sets and live music from local artists, and runs a public breakfast buffet each morning (8:00 to 11:30, 26 euros for non-guests) if you want the same view in daylight. Reviews here run more mixed than most of this list, Google sits at 3.5/5 from 175 reviews, with some reviewers noting crowding and long waits on busy nights, so it's worth treating as a view-first stop rather than a quiet cocktail spot.

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.

Gibson Bar has stood on Plaça del Mercat, right next to Passeig del Born, since 2005, run by Punxuat Grup, a family restaurant group with more than three decades in Palma that also runs Mojito Arenal and Bar Mónaco. It earned a Repsol Solete in the guide's spring 2026 update. The list is built on classics: a Dry Martini, a house Gibson variation made with onion instead of olive, Negroni, Manhattan, Daiquiri and Margarita, alongside a short vermouth and aperitif selection that includes La Gaviota, a local vermouth on tap. A Toulouse-Lautrec-style mural by local artist Biel Bover covers one wall, and the day runs long: coffee and llonguets (Mallorcan bread rolls filled with Serrano ham, tuna, sobrassada or botifarron) from the morning through to cocktails in the small hours, seven days a week, all year. It's a walk-in bar with outdoor terrace seating on the square, and it's dog-friendly.

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.

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.

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.
