Title: Nightclubs or late bars for twenty year olds
Post by: sunseeker on June 28, 2017, 08:25.: Brought my adult kids who are looking for either nightclubs or late opening bars where other young people hang out. Any ideas? Staying up from dial prix. Also anyone know the nearest mini train stop to here. Thanks so much

Post by: sunseeker on June 28, 2017, 21:39.: Thanks again. What sort of times are they open to? Also anywhere in the next few days for karaoke? Thanks very much

Off the top of my head, Tuesday's Shooters, Wednesday's at Oceans, then it's karaoke overload on Friday down the Carabasi with Oceans, Molly's and Caitlin's all waiting for you to strangle a bit of Queen or Abba.

Post by: gaveteran on June 29, 2017, 10:36.: The GA Centre is probably their best bet locally (American Bar for a band, and perhaps Mandella afterwards) - but do encourage them to see the Barrio in Alicante in full swing (ie do not arrive before midnight)

Twenty year olds out for the night in La Piedra is about the saddest thing I can think off haha.

Me? I'll be tucked up with the ear-plugs so I can't hear the increasingly loud Karaoke from Little Benidorm Square.

My kids grew up holidaying here so they knew the score so now its their additional chill holiday. Not sure if the Life Bar still has music late in the night but thats where mine went, or Alicante, for a proper night out -used to bus it in and cab home. Bit partial to a late one there myself being young at heart !!

Post by: sunseekers on June 29, 2017, 12:05.: So as you see sunseeker GA is slowly becoming Frimpton-on-sea but there are loads of places to play bingo and if your older siblings want a sing song I've already heard one of the pub entertainers singing "roll out the barrel"😀

Post by: Corporal Jones on June 29, 2017, 13:35.: Never understand why people who buy in a relatively unspoilt beautiful part of the coast are obsessed with turning it into a tacky subsidiary of benidorm, if you want kiss me quick hats and sombreros go south on the 332 to la marina or torre. I like benidorm for a day out but have no wish to own there, but sadly certain elements are moving into GA who seek little britain. I say leave GA alone.

Bingo is banned as it was too noisy for some!

Post by: sunseeker on June 29, 2017, 17:04.: Thanks. They've not been since little kids but I'm road testing a house similar to one I hope to buy one day so a couple of spare bedrooms. We just go for quiet meals so wasn't up on what there was for twenty somethings. Thanks for all your suggestions.

..have to disagree there mate... when was the last time you were there after midnight? ;) (It's been a while for me though! The last time I was in Mandela I was appalled at the wait for the lavatory. I think more people were powdering their nose than having a jimmy :-\ ) haha. The beer house to can be pretty raucous late on. Although I suppose both venues are 30+ not 20+ which is why I recommend again a cab trip to Alicante (Barrio/Port) where I would drop dead within hours haha. I'd still go to Coyote Ugly on the port if the wife would let me :)
