Málaga nightlife: rooftops, tapas bars and late clubs

Málaga starts late and ends later. The first round usually happens on the terraces of Plaza de la Merced or around Calle Granada, then sit-down dinners stretch to midnight, and clubs in Muelle Uno or Soho fill up after 2am. In summer, beach clubs from Malagueta to El Palo turn into open-air venues with DJ sets running until sunrise.

This directory covers cocktail bars, live music venues, jazz clubs, late-night restaurants and tapas spots. We list dress codes, age policies, and whether a venue takes cards or only cash — small details that make the difference between a smooth night and a stressful one.
