Port

The other large village/town on the island which has almost managed to avoid major ‘tourist industry’ exploitation so far (in fact for those of us who live here – it remains a well kept secret, which I’ve just blown). However, it doesn’t change dramatically during the year. It’s always hard to park here and it’s quicker to walk the length of the main road than to drive, but very few of the bars or restaurants close for the Winter. It’s just easier to get served here. So this is quite a long listing even in Winter and the most convenient for us to research.

Tall Ships Inn C/. Del Mar 23, Santa Eulalia.

The latest British family run traditional pub to arrive in Santa Eulalia and offering a proper friendly northern welcome - The Tall Ships Inn at C/. del Mar 23. Open all year round, this spacious bar is reminiscent of the old 'Fred's Bar', that used to be on the Restaurant Street , and is largely modeled on that much missed meeting point. Joe himself was a regular patron, as were most of the long-term island British community. Click here for their full web page

Bar Cosmi C/. San Jaime, Santa Eulalia.

Straight across the road from the Royalty, Bar Cosmi is where the younger and less posey set congregate. Inside is more hectic as people rush through, in between or on their way to work. The pavement outside is similar to the Royalty, but cheaper. Apparently in Franco’s days the proletariat used the Cosmi whilst those upon whom Franco smiled frequented the Royalty. Allegedly there are unrepaired bullet holes in the walls to prove this, but we can’t say that we’ve noticed them.

The Queen Vic
C/. San Juan 27 Tel: 971 336 835
A British bar with the emphasis on all parts of the British Isles and most especially the Scottish, Welsh and Irish bits. They're celebrating their 20th year as a British enclave in Santa Eulalia and are also the sports bar of the island with endless TV's showing everything from that old favourite Match of the Day through Grand Prix, horse racing and curling to tossing the caber - or anything else you might fancy, if you happen to know its on and on which channel. Their TV set up is incredible such that ten different people could come in with different requests all at the same time and each be allocated a TV to watch the programme of their choice! A family run bar, they also have internet access, a beer garden(sun trap) with a kitchen and a kiddies corner featuring an aviary. Inside they have a novel 'shorts' corner serving chupitos with some very odd names. There are quizzes most nights, but Saturday is party night when you are encouraged to let your hair down. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is unique - as long as you're up for a good time - and they have an interesting web site of their own.

The Harbour Bar
971330912
Also celebrating their 20 th anniversary this year. A British bar with a family atmosphere offering home cooked food, including a great Sunday roast every week and a full English breakfast as well as toasties, salads and main meals - all at a very reasonable price. They also have Sky & Via Digital for the sports (or news) options. Joe & Di are extremely friendly and accommodating as hosts and Joe is an encyclopaedia when it comes to matters football - this could be extremely useful as Portugal approaches if you fancy a flutter?
On Friday nights they have music quizzes, which just goes to show what a mine of information this little bar really is.
Open Tuesday till Saturday from 10 am till late (food till 5 pm .)
Open Sunday from 11 am till 8 pm (very good food till 6 pm .)

Cafeteria Rocas Blancas
971 33 87 01
A new food & snack bar just off the beach and by the main bus stop. Dead handy when you've spent 1/2 hour on a hot bus from Ibiza town or whether you want a couple of beers while waiting for one. There are tables outside on a terrace under a large covered awning but inside is bright, airy and air condidtioned. They have a large but simple menu - breakfasts, rolls, sandwhiches, burgers etc and lots of tapas. The beer and spirits are very cheap. Its easy to find since the Koala building (its underneath on the left as you get off the bus).

Sa Caleta
C/. San Jaime, Santa Eulalia.
At the other end of the main street (towards Es Canar), this is predominantly a local Spanish workers bar. It is noisy, but friendly and dominated by the TV. There are tables on the pavement outside which usually and effectively block the busy pavement throughout the summer.

Alhambra Cafe
Paseo maritimo (ie the seafront)
Tel: 971 31 3 95
Providers of Libyan influenced Arab food from Falafel, Tajine & kebabs through salads to either prawns or steak 'a la plancha'. At the end of the promenade and away from the beach, this place, on the original site of an ancient mosque aside a similarly old well is, as you can imagine, round & very stylish. Open from midday till 2am, with food being served till midnight even through the winter. Inside is a bar and the open plan kitchen - so you can see exactly what is being prepared. A really good range on the menu and decently priced. The ceiling and inside is worth a trip in itself, a sort of gold & blue star shaped design with the middle cut away to a gallery of hundreds of plants. This is a stylish place and great to sit outside for a meal in summer and watch the world go by, then in the evening a great bar with good music. We like this place.

Bar Parot
C/. San Jaime, Santa Eulalia.
On the corner of the next junction, with the Calle Isidoro Macabich, and on the opposite side of the road, this bar is slightly more laid back – more of a coffee and tapas bar for the family. The tables outside are less of a nuisance too as less people seem to use the pavement on that side of the road.

Bar Bodegon Toni
C/. San Juan, Santa Eulalia.
On the next road down, parallel to the main street, this is the first bar you encounter. It has the feeling of descending into a small cellar as you step down from street level and most of the Spanish clientele sit outside blocking the pavement. However, this is something you get used to in Ibiza as most cars park on the pavement or so close to each other as to form a blockade anyway. One day somebody will invent a multi-storey carpark and this too will fade into the category of the ‘good old days’.

Charlie's Bar
Tel: 971 319 218
C/. San Juan, Santa Eulalia
Charlie's Bar Next door to Bar Bodegon Toni, but English and therefore completely different, friendly, old worldly bar that specialises in excellent cheap English style food. The venue is a bit narrow like a passage way, but it's only a few strides from the main town square and location is everything?

Magic Sport
C/. San Juan, Santa Eulalia.
A large modern bar attached to a gymnasium and creche equipped with a bouncy castle (we haven’t researched this facility yet – apparently there is a height restriction?). The bar has a civilised, righteous, sporty type of clientele and a huge television, upon which the clientele watch sport..

Bar Estadio
C/. San Juan, Santa Eulalia.
On the next corner is the Estadio which is the local Spanish workers bar for those who prefer to gamble whilst drinkimg. Predominantly strange Spanish card games and domino country, it also gets very busy when Barcelona, or any other Spanish football team, are playing. Usually during big matches, anywhere in town, you will hear fireworks being launched when Barcelona score. This is helpful to supporters in outlying districts in terms of keeping track of the score, but we cannot definitely confirm that the customers of this bar are exclusively responsible for this phenomenon.

Niko’s
C/. San Juan, Santa Eulalia.
Another Spanish bar across the road, but with a slightly less rowdy football appreciation society. Apparently they compensate for this with occasional karaoke nights after which acquaintances have occasionally been found asleep in the gutter outside the following morning.


The Bolthole
C/. San Juan, 29 (next to the Queen Vic) Santa Eulalia.
A quieter version of the Vic (during the winter), but without the tele's - a music only policy except when the landlord pulls out one of his volumes of poems - many of which you can read on this site. Colin and Anu run the pub with a very cheerful smile and a very sympathetic ear – as long as you keep drinking and don’t mind the noisy locals buying rounds for the whole bar during the weekly payday weekends.

Cesars
C/. Rodriguez, Santa Eulalia.
Near to the ‘Paseo’ (town square) on the road running parallel to it, this bar is on the corner with the C/. Del Mar. German run, spacious and serving food, it also has a pool table.

Paul's Bar
C/. Huesca, 6
Tel: 649 87 55 52
This is the oldest established English bar in Santa Eulalia. Good music and atmosphere, comfortable & clean and just round the corner from the Queen Vic pub. Only genuine imported beers & stouts (Stones Bitter, Tennants & Caffreys) served by host Paul.

Tagomago Music Bar
C/. Rodriguez, Santa Eulalia.
A little further down the same road is the Tagomago which as well as Good music provides a good pool table down the stairs and interesting, young late night company in the bar and upstairs. Runs till later than most so if you’re bored at the wrong time of day this may be for you..

Mezcal Taberna
On your left at the beginning of the restaurant street, this innocuous pueblo hiding amongst the restaurants, but with a life size Mexican bandit patrolling the roof, is quite an experience. A nicely decorated and well laid out bar- it can also get a little explosive if you play with the tequila for too long.

Click Music Bar
50 yards further up on the restaurant street this is a cocktail bar with a musical attitude for those who like a cocktail before they read all of the menu options available along this 'hungry people' stretch of road.

Meanwhile down on the seafront amidst the various restaurants there are a few interesting options for a quiet drink.

Kalissel (Bar section)
Is a new kid on the block opposite the fountain that separates the two beaches of Santa Eulalia. Being new it features modern architecture with high ceilings, hanging lights and an almost totally glass exterior, making it light and airy inside. The deceptively small interior is complemented by a large

Mariners
Beachfront - in fact more beach than you could possibly use, by virtue of occupying the river corner at the south end of Santa Eulalia's beach. Previously a bit out of the way, the venue has gone down the KM 5, Bambuddha Grove, Mao Rooms road with posh wooden tables and chairs and cool chill out corners. The ceiling through which the trees miraculously disappear is a mix of Arabian tent and bamboo leaves.

However, be careful not to get trodden on at the bar, the staff are hyperactive and the crowd scene at the bar is caused by the delay between paying for your beer and receiving your change.

On the plus side they're going for it in terms of a new option in Santa Eulalia and they've put some thought into it. There's even a creche, a games room with pool and teenage entertainment in addition to the stage for live entertainment and a DJ box for those old fashioned spinners.
