Benidorm has long been a popular holiday destination with Brits, with thousands flocking there every summer and during the winter months for a dose of sunshine.
Over the years, a number of traditional British pubs have sprung up across the resort, providing holidaymakers with a home away from home.
Here are some of the best British bars in Benidorm to look out for during your next trip to the Costa Blanca.
It’s all about the atmosphere at the Pig ‘N’ Whistle. The pub’s renowned sound system pumps out classics from pretty much every genre you can think of and the night often ends with a sing-a-long. If you’ve got a particular favourite you’d like to hear, just ask one of the friendly bar staff and they’ll do their best to accommodate you. Throw in a pool room and a good selection of drinks and you’ve got the perfect bar for a great night out.
Vincent’s Corner Pubs
The Corner Pubs are a Benidorm institution. The first, Vincent’s, in the Old Town was actually Benidorm’s very first pub when it opened its doors in 1965 and it’s still offering homemade food and regular karaoke today. Vincent’s is now part of a chain of pubs in Benidorm including Vincent’s Cellar, which offers a range of kids’ activities and arcade games, The Triangle and The White Horse.
The Drop Inn
This spot is more of a restaurant than watering hole, but you'll find ‘good old-fashioned British cooking’ on offer and it's earned it rave reviews from holidaymakers. The breakfast in particular is renowned, as is the Sunday lunch, which is actually available every day. Owners Tony and Kate pride themselves on having Benidorm’s friendliest pub and holidaymakers and locals alike receive a warm welcome.
Morgans Tavern
You may recognise Morgans Tavern as Neptunes from the TV series Benidorm. And even if not, you certainly can’t miss it thanks to the huge wooden ship on the outside. Once inside, you’ll be treated to nightly cabaret performances including tribute acts, comedians and singers. Be warned, it can get busy, but that’s all part of the fun.
Whether you’re looking for a friendly pub serving classic dishes or a place to be entertained all evening long, these British bars in Benidorm will give you that feeling of home while holidaying in the Costa Blanca.
