Where can I find bars with great beer selections in Palma or nearby towns?

In recent years, Palma’s bar scene has blossomed beyond its traditional offerings, welcoming a growing number of establishments dedicated to craft beer and unique brews. In the city center, especially around the bustling streets of La Lonja and Santa Catalina, you'll find bars that pride themselves on rotating taps which often include a mix of local craft beers from Mallorca’s burgeoning breweries, alongside popular international labels. These bars usually have staff passionate about beer culture, eager to guide visitors through their selections and recommend local picks that complement the island's Mediterranean flavors.

Beyond Palma, in towns like Sóller and Alcúdia, a few pubs have embraced the craft beer trend as well. Many of these venues host occasional tasting sessions or 'beer flights', allowing you to sample several varieties in one visit. The atmosphere tends to be relaxed and social, reflecting the island’s welcoming spirit. Some spots even pair their beer selections with local specialties such as sobrassada or pa amb oli, highlighting how these drinks complement Mallorca’s cuisine.

For an authentic experience, consider seeking out the taprooms connected to local breweries like Moritz or Xibeca. These places not only offer the freshest beer straight from the source but also provide insights into the brewing process and the island's evolving beer culture. Whether on the Ma-13 en route to the north coast or strolling through Palma’s winding streets, those keen on beer will find plenty of satisfying options that go beyond the usual choices.
