Reason #24 London Bar

The London bar, as you can probably guess from the name, is another British bar. It's situated on the same road as The Yorkshire Pride and The Stretford end so convenient if you want a mini bar crawl.

It's a decent size inside, they have a lower section at the front and a raised section at the back. They have a pool table and dart board and all the other things you would normally expect from a bar.

 What I like about the London bar is that it's quite a chilled out place, The music is not too heavy or dancey and not too loud and you can have a conversation without shouting which I must say is a welcome change to some places I have been where conversation is pointless unless lip reading is mastered.

 Drinks are plentiful and really cheap ( I do mean really cheap, a round for 5 and I got change fro 10 Euros!) and they do a range of cocktails which my lady is a fan of, they even made one especially for my young one. Non alcoholic of course….

The staff are friendly and have always made us feel very welcome.

It's open til 1am(ish) which is nice for a few pleasurably late nights.

Reason #23 Happy Hour

One of the good things about the nightlife in Benidorm is that you will always stumble upon several pubs or bars that offer Happy Hour. This is basically a period of time when you will get 2 drinks for the price of 1.

This offer usually applies to bottled alcopops, beer and cider, glasses of wine, local spirits, mixers and lagers. The brilliant thing about the Happy Hour is that it is usually not available for just an hour. You will find that most bars will have Happy Hour for 2 - 4 hours so take advantage of this while you can. Me and my Mrs do!

 Be warned though! In the Benidorm Square, you may pay over the odds for your drink and although you think you're going to get a great bargain because someone is telling you to go into a bar for happy hour, you might order your drink and end up paying 8 Euros so technically you are really paying for 2 drinks anyway.

However, in the more subdued bars like some of the Vincent's bars (I refer to these ones a lot because they really are good bars), you will generally be getting a good deal on the happy hour and will have a great cheaper night out of you manage to get in there to take advantage of the offer!
