Estepona Nightlife

Estepona offers numerous bars with music in the town centre. Here is a guide to a wide array of venues, ranging from those open during the day and on into evening to the latest of the late night clubs.

Town Bars (Calle Real)

The bars in the town are a great area to visit to see something different, including more than one positively unique bar.

Tolone
This very nice establishment is less of a bar more of a cocktail lounge. It is located at the very end of Calle Real away from the port. Tolone specialises in speciality cocktails, milkshakes, coffee, and teas. This is for all ages and the atmosphere allows everyone to mix quite easily. The bar itself is really small so most of the tables are outside. This is not only great in the summer, but also in winter, thanks to heaters. This place is very popular so you can often find that you can’t get in, but it’s well worth the try for the very reasonably priced, fancy drinks. We recommend the alcoholic coffees and milkshakes not readily available elsewhere. They also do snacks such as nachos and cheese and hot sandwiches, also excellent.
Arrive time: Day time and before a night out.

Port / Marina Bars with music

The port is a good 10/15 mins walk away from the centre of town but once you get there you will find everything you need for a good night.  Estepona marina is literally a big cluster of bars, lounges, coffee shops, ice cream parlours, restaurants, early and late nightclubs. You can literally enter the port at 20.00 hrs  and be entertained until 07.00 hrs in the summer. (tried and tested!).

Louie Louie
Louis Louis Rock music bar located in the Edificio PuertoSol, in the Marina of Estepona, next to O' Donoghues Irish Pub. Opened in 2013. Regularly hosts Spanish bands, typically from Malaga, Seville and northern Spain, and often big-name bands from the UK, USA and Australia on European tours - quite a feat for a small venue. Usually known for rock or blues bands. Regular Saturday night early shift, 21.00 hrs performers are English session music veterans the KP Band. More>

Reinaldo
Reinaldo's  is a Spanish bar opened in 1989 by a Dutch biker (who sadly died in 2004), serving coffee during the day, cocktails in the evening and drinks until the early hours of the morning. It is a popular meeting place at the entrance to the marina. Reinaldo Bar may not have a dance floor, but its eclectic selection of music gets everyone moving. Free to enter, it is better known for its outdoor terrace and outdoor bar with a more casual atmosphere. It is always busy and has great views of the harbour. They are famous for having three different happy hours throughout the night. Perfect for drinks with friends, a pre-dinner aperitif or to kick off a night on the town.
Arrival time 8pm

El Duende
El Duende is a trendy, very Spanish flamenco bar with mostly Spanish music. It is reasonably priced and has plenty of space, including two floors and a patio. Located opposite Reinaldo's. Saturday night is Ladies' Night at El Duende, where women are free and men pay €10 to get in. This is both a bar and an early night club. Under the arch, La Esquina de Duende serves drinks on the terrace.

Mykonos Music Club
This stylish bar doubles as a disco. Inside there is a dance floor with plenty of banquette seating around it, and outside there is a chich and modern terrace with sofa seating, ambient lighting and farolas (lanterns). The venue opened in 2012 as La Pepa and was an early favourite on social media. It closed in 2017 and reopened in 2018 as Mykonos Music Club.Summer only.

Jazz Pub
Located under the blue and white 'Torre de Control' (Marina office). Large terrace and popular in summer when there is likely to be singers and keyboards. Sit down atmosphere suites slightly older tourists.

Nightclubs

In the marina, there are music bars that act as the aforementioned "early nightclubs", such as Louis Louis, Mykonos Music Club. Duende. These places offer music and dancing and may have visiting bands on Saturday or Thursday nights. You will not find these bars busy until after midnight. Some stay open until 5am in the summer.

In the Feria Ground, away from residential areas several nightclubs were inaugurated in 2023. They are generally open every night in the summer and weekends only other times.      Location of Estepona Feria Ground. We understand it is the town hall policy to encourage the relocation of dance venues from the marina to the feria ground.       

Templo Estepona
Templo Estepona is not a disco as such, it is a permanent Feria Caseta open all summer and some nights in winter. The lower part is alcohol-free for 16-18 years, while the upper part is a general (adult) area with VIP areas and private booths. Food. Special themed party nights are organised from monthly in winter to nightly in summer. For example, Halloween, New Year's Eve, Spring Fiesta (00.00 hrs 23 March 2024), Latin Party (16.00 hrs to 06.00 hrs 30 March 2024). Templo Estepona tries to recreate the atmosphere of the Feria all year round, some nights it works and some nights it does not. Gets mixed reviews depending on your expectations. Opened in 2018. Top marks for innovation. Entrance €10 VIP tables €100.
