It has a terrace on a lively street and a roof terrace, and opens every day from 12:00 to midnight. It has almost 1,300 Google reviews with a 4 rating (3.9 on Tripadvisor).

Good to know. Opinions are very mixed: some love the atmosphere, the waiters and the prices, while others complain of cold or bland food and expensive drinks. The roof terrace has a different menu from the street terrace, and the free tapa isn't always included, so ask when you order.

Who it suits. A lively drink in the Torrecilla area without spending much. More bars in our guide to tapas in Nerja.
