Anfora Disco
Music Bar
C/ San Carlos 7, Dalt Vila, Ibiza 07800
www.disco-anfora.com 

Exclusively gay disco Anfora is one of the friendliest clubs in Ibiza. And one of the oldest. It's colourful décor, amazing Dalt Vila location and reasonable drink prices make it a summer essential for Ibiza's vibrant gay scene.

Base
Bar
Plaza de A. Riquer (Puerto de Ibiza)
971 31 77 86

Base Bar and its neighbour the Rock Bar are the pre-club spots in Ibiza Town. For better or worse, the crowd's predominantly British, loud, but never aggressive in our experience. At times you can see more celebs than you'll find in a month's worth of Heat.

Café Mambo
Sunset Bar
Vara del Rey 40, 7820 San Antonio
www.cafemamboibiza.com
971 31 21.60

This iconic sunset bar's biggest annual attraction will be MIA this summer, as Pete Tong is under orders from Radio 1 to stop larking around in the sun and actually broadcast his Friday night Essential Mix from London, not Mambo. We reckon this means more space to enjoy the sunset and less chance of being trampled by lagered up Brits. A big improvement.

El Bar
Music Bar Lounge
Avenida 8 de Agosto s/n
www.pacha.com
971315963

The occasional setting for some cool parties of its own, El Bar has the sort of cool white ambience you'd expect from Pacha. It's also remained something of a hidden gem because people somehow believe the bar is just for hotel guests.

Grial
Music Bar
Avenida Agosto 8, Ibiza
www.myspace.com/grialibiza

Grial's location makes it an ideal stopping off place on the way to Pacha. Many people don't get any further. The drinks are cheaper and, the deejays are often better than the over-priced club along the road. It's also open year-round with many of the best parties happening through the winter months.

Guarana
Music Bar Lounge
Puerto Deportivo de Santa Eulalia, Santa Eulalia, 07840
www.guarana-ibiza.com

Despite being marooned in one of the less-promising corners of the island Guarana has some pretty good parties even in the winter. It's one of the few venues that's open year round. It's 'intimate' to be polite or 'small' to be accurate, but that means it doesn't require Pacha's thousands to feel busy. Especially if you're staying up this end of the island give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised

IBZ Lounge
Bar Lounge
C/ Emili Pou 6 Ibiza
www.ibzlounge.com
971 31 84 43

IBZ Lounge is where the Mao Rooms used to be and the vibe's much the same, as cool as the sushi they serve. Truth be told it's perhaps a little too cool for some of us. In 2007 it became Hed Kandi's official pre-club bar. Take that how you want.

Las Dalias
Music Bar Restaurant Lounge
Ctra. San Carlos Km12, 07840
www.lasdalias.es
971 32 68 25

Once the centre of the hippie universe along with Anita's up the road, Las Dalias is now best-known for its weekly hippie market. It tends to be pretty quiet once the tourist buses have gone. Each year brings promises of excitement, if only those dreadlocked crusties could get it together.

Lo Cura
Bar
c/ Antonio Mari Ribas, 4, Ibiza
www.myspace.com/lo_cura_ibiza

Lo Cura is local dive, in the nicest possible way. Open year 'round, it draws a loyal crowd with inexpensive beers, killer cocktails, relaxed tunes and a congenial atmsophere. An intimate alternative to the many near-by tourist traps.

Noctambula
Bar
Ibiza Town Carrer des Passadis 18
Myspace noctambulabaribiza

A gathering point for the Italiano massive, this ultra-hip bar carved into solid rock up behind Calle de Virgin is a welcome oasis from the PR scrum near the waterfront. Oscar, Manuel and Steve ensure everyone feels at home (and no one leaves sober) while DJ buddies like Andrew Grant keep the party rolling.

Rock Bar
Bar
C/Garijo 14  Ibiza Town

Clubbers move between the Rock and Base Bar with little concern about which one they`re outside. Few bother to hang out in the cramped interior, which is a shame because the bar attracts the cream of the DJs before they hit the club decks later on. Oh, and we should say there's never rock music in the Rock Bar. And if you suffer from vertigo or stiletto heels the Rock's toilets are less of a challenge than Base Bar's.

Sa Trinxa
Beach Bar
Sa Trinxa, Ses Salines, south coast
www.satrinxa.com
637 82 61 83

The way the owners describe the jetty in front of Sa Trinxa as its 'catwalk' says a great deal about what's still our favourite watering hole on glamorous Salinas beach. The male and female eye candy is world class. It's also one of the places where chillout began before it became a term of abuse. The real spirit of the Balearic beat lives on in the form of DJ Jon Sa Trinxa.

Sunset Café
Bar
Plaza del Parque, 3, Ibiza, 07800
www.sunset-cafe-ibiza.com
971 30 44 48

Ibiza's most confusingly named bar. Not only is it on the wrong side of the island for a sunset, but it's in the middle of town with no view. Despite these shortcomings it's constantly abuzz with DJs, promoters and club owners slurping beers and taking full advantage of the free wifi.

Underground
Music Bar Lounge
KM7 on the Ibiza to San An road
www.ibizaunderground.com
636 45 71 32

Grubby, lo-fi and -- as its website unapologetically boasts -- "not for everyone", Underground is a hotspot for clubbing cognoscenti and anyone needing a break from the blatant commercialism that inevitably grips the bigger clubs.
