An Irish bar, now under Spanish management, Shannon is a great place to visit in the Altos del…read moreLimonar neighborhood and has been for years. If I spent enough time digging the archives I think I could find some pics of a younger drunk me taken here at least 10 years back :) Time flies but Shannon doesn't change much. For good. A bit worn interior adds to its charm. Now with live music the bar attracts people from other parts of Torrevieja. A friend told me yesterday he's going to perform here with his band soon, can't wait to see that. Definitely visit if you live close. "Beer! Because no great story started with someone eating salad" - they say. Cheers!

Another cover band they often have is Austin Slack and The Streeters, check out their cover of Cream's Sunshine of Your Love (at the Hen's Teeth): https://youtu.be/4IveAZLG3Lg Located in the Villamartin plaza with many other bars and restaurants around. Many of them open and full of people after 11pm (the Hen's Teeth will be empty by then). Not a large bar, better reserve a table. Popular times 7pm - 11pm, live music starts at 9pm. Street parking is usually available nearby (free) even in high season.

There are full rock bands equipped with guitars/bass/drums every night. Great sound, direct view to the stage from many points and lots of space around the stage for dancing.

Definitely worth visiting again!

The beers were very well kept so served beautifully cold and fresh. The staff, although occasionally forgetful, were so nice it's hard to say anything bad about them! They have regular Karaoke nights plus live music events too these tend to be set up just outside the front door, so if you want a quiet meal you'd best go somewhere else! All in all it's a great place albeit with a limited menu so if you want to go here regularly you will find the choice on the menu lacking depth.

I used to be a regular client of Villavieja 6 since autumn 2015 but last night (03/04/2016) will be…read morethe last time I go to this place. The reason is the lack of respect and common sense that personnel demonstrated to us as clients. Also the feeling that we were tricked when we received the bill contributed to the bad experience. Normally they have a live concert during the evening. They never charged for the concert, nor any charge was ever announced. But we got to pay twice for it in a way that was somehow unpleasant: once leaving tips in a hat which a woman was circulating during the concert and second in the bill we were charged extra money for the concert. No problem in paying for a nice performance, but the way they charged was a total surprise and was unpleasant. Besides this the personnel treats you with ignorance and impoliteness! Especially the girl that was attending. Also, be aware that the prices of the drinks are expensive for Alicante. In spite of this the place is really nice as a venue and interior and the artists performing are not bad. I would return only if the personnel changes the attitude (I would suggest to change the personnel) and also if the way of doing business changes (it's not professional to hide costs, charge twice for same thing, because in the end it looks deceiving and tricking).
