What's open late in Benidorm?
Show bars with a pub or karaoke licence, late cabaret bars and the nightclubs keep going after 01:30. Ordinary bars and cafés have to close at 01:30, so the after-midnight crowd moves to Calle Gerona, the Square on Avenida de Mallorca and the clubs. The live list above shows only acts starting between 00:00 and 04:59 tonight.
Late shows are a minority but a large one: 236 shows, or 17% of our listings, started after midnight in the fortnight from 15 October 2026. Some late shows are for adults only; the listing says so where a venue bills it that way. For the full night out, see our Benidorm nightlife guide.

Legal closing times in Benidorm for 2026
Closing time depends on the venue's licence, not on the day of the week. The Valencian regional order for 2026 sets these limits; our bar closing times guide goes into the detail.
- On 31 October, 24 December and 5 January, venues get an extra 60 minutes; on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, 90 minutes.
- There is no general weekend or summer extension for bars.
- Venues must display their hours where they can be seen from outside.
| Venue type | Latest close |
|---|---|
| Bars, cafés and restaurants | 01:30 |
| Pubs and karaoke bars | 03:30, or 04:00 with a council extension |
| Discos, salas de fiesta and dance halls | 07:30 |
| Terraces | No later than the bar they belong to |
Bars with the most after-midnight shows
These venues had the most shows starting after midnight in our listings for the fortnight from 15 October 2026. Published hours come from venue guides and can change.
Morgan Tavern, Western Saloon and The Red Lion
All three are on Calle Gerona. Morgan Tavern led with 20 late shows; guides give its hours as 19:00–03:00. Western Saloon had 18 and is listed as open until 04:00. The Red Lion had 11.
Chaplins and the Square
Chaplins on Avenida de Mallorca 4 had 18 late shows, with published hours of 20:30–05:00. Nearby Sinatras had 12 and Philippines 10 12.
Rockerfellas, Talk of the Coast and Talk of the Town
Rockerfellas had 13, Talk of the Coast 12 and Talk of the Town Cabaret 11. Tropical Bar on Avenida Dr. Severo Ochoa also appeared regularly in our late listings.
Nightclubs after the show bars close
When the pubs close at about 03:30, the clubs take over. The big names, including Penelope, are out on the N-332 road, and a hotel group's guide says they get busy around 04:00. Club entry is usually charged, unlike the show bars; one 2026 ticket listing put Penelope at €15–25.
Our nightclubs in Benidorm page lists the clubs and what's on, and the best night out page suggests a route through the evening.
Getting home after a late night
Most people walk or take a taxi. Benidorm taxis are metered and use a higher night tariff from 22:00 to 06:00 on weekdays, all day on Sundays and holidays and from 15:00 on Saturdays. The TaxiCoin app shows the price and nearest cars before you book, and our Benidorm taxis page has ranks and phone numbers.
City buses charge a night fare of €1.75; check the night timetable before relying on one. If you are walking back to a hotel, keep to busy, lit streets, and if anything goes wrong call 112. The SATE tourist assistance office, run by Spain's national police with interpreters, is on Calle Gerona at the junction with Avenida Derramador; see is Benidorm safe.
Late-night tips
A late night in Benidorm is easier with a plan for the last two hours.
- Check the closing time on the door: it tells you whether a bar has a 01:30 or 03:30 licence.
- Halloween, Saturday 31 October 2026, gets an extra hour; see Halloween in Benidorm.
- Street drinking is banned outside licensed terraces, so finish your drink before you move on.
- For something earlier, try what's on tonight or what's on this afternoon.
