Nerja has many restaurants, bars and clubs open till early morning, live music venues with music to suit a variety of ages and tastes and, inevitably, the odd karaoke bar.
However, the centre of activity, particularly during the summer months, remains in and around Plaza Tutti Frutti.
Plaza Tutti Frutti has undergone a fairly extensive makeover during 2007/2008 with palm trees, ornamental garden bits, seating and the whole area is now paved and minus the potholes we came to love and avoid.
At night – and things don’t usually get started until around midnight – it becomes a vibrant heaving mass of humanity with its own charm and character.
There is music to suit most tastes and, on occasion, you may find the odd ‘live’ event. Metal/Rock fans should head for Pub Tantra.
Should you ever ‘misplace’ the younger members of the family, here is a good place to start the search!
A great place for a night out is Bar El Molino in calle San José – small alley joining calle Cristo and calle Pintada, almost opposite the end of calle La Cruz.
Nightly entertainment, warm and friendly atmosphere. It’s one of those places that has ‘something’ which invariably makes people return time after time.

Cochrans – Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays
Hotel Jimesol – Occasional
Hotel Villa Flamenca

Irish Annie’s – Weekly Irish music.
