Nowadays, however, the bars and pubs offering similar fares of enjoyment are concentrated in specific areas of Valencia. Said areas are often specific in their clientele too - the Carmen area hosts a high concentration of bohemian bars and nightclubs, the Blasco Ibanez and Benimaclet areas cater to the student population and the Canovas and Joan Llorens areas are more mainstream in their weekend nightlife offerings. And Valencia being a beachside city on the Mediterranean, it cannot be helped if there are nightclub venues on the beach and at the port. No matter the pubs and bars you visit on your many nights in Valencia, we recommend Agua Valencia. It is the unofficial cocktail of the city made of orange juice, gin, vodka, cava or champagne and a pinch of sugar, which is then served in a pitcher for sharing with friends. And lest you think that Agua Valencia is a soft drink, so to speak, think again. It is comparable to drinking absinthe in Prague, meaning that you need a strong stomach. Are you ready for it? Agua Valencia is not all there is to Valencian pubs and bars, however.
