Hardly a surprise Oliver’s is at number 1, one of the friendliest bars, no trouble, cheap drinks, staff and customers all always polite…. spent yesterday afternoon chatting to a lovely old chap in there who’s daughter works there
We'll be back in Beni for the Feb half term to catch some sunshine... can't wait... 2 weeks and counting... Thank you Lucy & team for everything you do, we love all your content and hope to hire a car this time for a trip to Guadalest after being inspired by you. We would also love to retire to the area one day but not sure its possible after Brexit.
Hi Lucy, I am in benidorm at the moment. My friends and I used your guide and went on a pub crawl. We did 7/10 of these. All good but loved pig and thistle the best
Very well deserved No1 spot for Olivers Bar. Love this bar and always visit at least twice a day when in town. Another one is closed now but always used to visit Bar Rumbo or Tony's.
Just been up there, but no room outside, went to the Queens next door, great craic in that square, 4 of us went to the tapas bar opposite, great afternoon.
Lucy I remember you working in the palladium, rocker fellas and then the triangle bar in rincon de Loix. I was only a young teenager then, I’m now 28 😅 my auntie always used to say on the plane “I wonder where Lucy’s working” haha!
I Recommend Sherrys Bar good Homemade cooking friendly staff nice Atmosphere good section of Beers cocktails and shots nice and cool downstairs nice view outside well Established
Bought a t-shirt in the pig and whistle back in 1988 was there on a club 18-30 holiday, stayed in the Easo Hotel,,,happy days Yaz in every pub the only way is up...😊
Hi Lucy, great video we are staying in the old town early October looking forward to exploring these bars, are they reasonable prices like the new town.
Thanks, I have jotted a few down. Maybe silly question is there anywhere with a bit of live Spanish guitar? Would you recommend getting a taxi between the old and the new at night?
I'm going to Benidorm solo very first time on 11th Oct for 3 nights, I'm nervous more cos I'm deaf myself, I'm staying apartment in new town but 1 night I like to explore in old town for meal, chill so I'm wondering which is safer to talk back to new town to my apartment after old town end of the night on the beach front or on the main road where strips is? thank for your time
Depends what time of night it is really. If its before midnight/1am there will be plenty of people about both ways. If it's later and you're on your own I'd get a taxi, only gonna be around a fiver and better to be safe than sorry
I just returned from Benidorm, and I found many bars/pubs that are serving (selling) adulterated alcoholic beverages. It is nice to watch you, darling. Thank you
Coming in at no 98 is the "Ayup" bar. Its a BYOB place so be sure to come prepared. It's in the old old town. Just down the road from the jail and the sewage works. No toilets so go before you leave your hotel only a four hour walk away.
Pig n Whistle at No2 - really. ? Small measures of cheap Larios gin and the most expensive G n T's we had in the Old Town - Cant believe it even made the top 10 ! Bar 69 and Olivers on either side of the bar of Queens Hotel. A fantastic small hotel and wonderful staff. Their bar staff are amazing and could not fault the Hotel at all. Already booked for June next year and then on to Palm Court apartments.
Hi Lucy while I appreciate the list as a gay man I would not frequent most of the bars in the top ten after going 7 times in 3 years, how about an lgbqt top ten for the old town ?
Lived in Spain for many years, and it makes me kinda sad that everyone comes here for an English bar. Personally, I LOVE Beni, but I never go to English bars.

Hahaha that's going back a few years!! 😊
The Yellow Sub Marine is great little haunt for me I love the karaoke 🎤
I Recommend Sherrys Bar good Homemade cooking friendly staff nice Atmosphere good section of Beers cocktails and shots nice and cool downstairs nice view outside well Established
We were in sherrys back in April the food was terrible and the staff not very nice
Bought a t-shirt in the pig and whistle back in 1988 was there on a club 18-30 holiday, stayed in the Easo Hotel,,,happy days Yaz in every pub the only way is up...😊
Bought a Pig & Whistle t-shirt in 87 on a boys 2-week holiday great times feel in love with Benidorm & still going there to this day.
My hotel was on gin street it was perfect for beaches and bars ❤❤❤
😂 got us in the video sitting at the bar in colliers
Haha nice 1
I been to 6 of these bars, will have to try the other 4 next time I’m in Benidorm ( which is Friday ). Will be in Vincent’s for my Sunday roast.
Hi Lucy, great video we are staying in the old town early October looking forward to exploring these bars, are they reasonable prices like the new town.
olivers well deserved winner !!
Always have a good chat with Martin, the landlord of the Colliers bar. Such a shame when his wife passed.
❤
Hello Lucy been in 7 of the 10 bars not been in Alameda 20 - Cooller Bar - and Nova well have to try them in November
🙏
Hi lucy how far a walk is the pig n whistle bar from mc amalia apartments and would it be a safe walk at nite. Thx
it's a fair walk, taxi better at night 👍
Thanks, I have jotted a few down. Maybe silly question is there anywhere with a bit of live Spanish guitar?
Would you recommend getting a taxi between the old and the new at night?
Depends how good you are on your feet really, you can walk it in about 15 mins. Beachfront is a nice walk with plenty stop off points 👍
can't argue with the top two. kafe klee would be my other choice.

Remember when Sherry's was a little bar on a corner, 😢😊
I used to work there in 78 behind the bar with Stuart and Geoff. Great times.
Where would you find the best place for Spanish Charcuterie?
anybody like harrys bar
Yeah good bar, didn't quite make it into top 10 though
Deffo worth a mention tho🎉
See when people comment saying Ohhh lovley clean toilet 😷... THAT'S THE COKE SNIFFERS
😂😂😂😂
been in the all lol but after 20yr of going 4/6 times a year there is not many ive not been in
Some good ones for sure but no O’Mara’s in the top 10? 🙃
Didn't quite make it, did you vote?
Coming in at no 98 is the "Ayup" bar.
Its a BYOB place so be sure to come prepared.
It's in the old old town. Just down the road from the jail and the sewage works.

Place is best of Costa Blanca

Hi Lucy Tam from Bathgate here some good bars mentioned olivers good for people watching if you can get a seat busy neck of the woods that area
Brilliant just what I’m looking for coming on 6th nov hopefully still warm then😂 do you run a bar Lucy 👍
No luv
Hagar’s would be my choice.
Lived in Spain for many years, and it makes me kinda sad that everyone comes here for an English bar. Personally, I LOVE Beni, but I never go to English bars.
Glad the Yellow Submarine wasnt on the list. Proper dive 😅
Hi lucy looking to know if January is good to visit benidrom staying in ambassador playa 1
Depends what you're after really
blue bell bar for me
Sherrys bar is no1 by a mile
Not for me terrible food
@@kevinreilly9482 some people just don't know what's good
@@spw613 the beers good the food is terrible
Hardly a Spanish bar amongst them.
Maybe it's the bad service
It’s what people voted for, they could have picked any bar but chose their favourites.
