A small bar which has been open for about a year, with a cosy and traditional feel, derived from…read morelots of dark wood panelling and antique-style lamps. There are no tables, but a wide ledge with bar stools runs around the outside walls. Run by a friendly husband-and-wife team, it tends to get busier after 22.30h and attracts a slightly more mature crowd of mostly local regulars. There's a TV screen, mostly showing Spanish news and sport, but they also show music videos - classic pop and rock from the 1980s. Beers include the San Miguel range, with Guinness and Heineken on tap. They do nibbles (crisps, etc) but no other food. The whole bar is kept spotlessly clean, including the toilets, which are - quite literally - the cleanest I have ever seen in a bar or pub.

Right next door to Bus Stop it cannot be missed because of the huge James Bond Sillouhette adorning…read morethe front. It looks identical to its neighbour and rival bus stop as it has an outside veranda full of locals and then the main club. Inside there is a kind of long room with a bar right in the middle all the wya down. It's not that good for dancing in as there isn't a lot of space but there are some poles lol for any pole dancers out there and some mini stages. The drinks aren't that cheap but they're reasonable for an English filled resort and the place isn't too busy. It mainly plays English music and it can be a bit cramped and sweaty. Generally though it's kind of cool to think you've been to a bar dedicated to James Bond.

A small, clean and unpretentious local cafe-bar, which is open between breakfast and early evening,…read moreclosing around 9pm. It sells the usual range of drinks, as well as a simple menu del Dia (Daily menu) of three courses with a drink for around EUR9, as well as a menu of light meals, pizzas, sandwiches, tapas and other snacks. Drinks prices are low - thanks to it being completely untouristy (it's situated a mile inland): bottled beers are under EUR2 each. Service from the owners is friendly, too. The only downer for me is that a few of the clientele seem to smoke something resembling old rope, so it's better when it's quieter.

A small and relatively new bar in the 19th century part of Vilanova, with a double-height room with…read moreseating at high tables and a small snug with a fireplace. Decorated in red and black, it has something of a heavy rock / metal theme, augmented by posters of groups such as Iron Maiden and AC/DC. L'Avern is actually 'Hell' in Catalan, so the theme seems pretty consistent. That said, the music is not too intrusive if that's not your thing, and the staff were very friendly. Other customers seemed to be a mix of rock, goth and studenty types - and also friendly (a few politely moved so we could get to the bar, without being asked, which made us feel welcome). Prices were also very reasonable for beer and other drinks. The entrance is up a few steps and the lavatories are on the first floor.

The rooftop restaurant, bar and pool area, is a large open space that offers a full bar, with full…read morefood service. It is an impressive terrace where you can enjoy a libation and snack or meal, with incredible views of the sea, old Taracco and the roman ruins. The restaurant and bar area are just inside the terrace area, moveable glass walls make dining and the bar weather controlled and allow guests to still take in the view without the elements. Which was needed the evening of our visit, as it was very windy. We had dinner one evening while staying at the hotel, reservations at 8:00 pm (20:00) they are also recommended especially on the weekends. We were greeted walking in and seated by the windows with a spectacular view of the city as the lights around the town lit up. Our server was professional and attentive, we started with their version of Buratta, it was very traditional, nothing fancy but quite tasty and fresh. Large slices of tomato, a nice portion of fresh mozzarella, topped with arugula and an olive oil drizzle. We were wanting some light tapas, and went for the Hummus with black olives, and an assortment of fries, chips and crackers. The hummus was delicious and very fresh and the dipping assortment was a nice additional. A couple glasses of wine to go along with our meal rounded out a nice evening. We opted for some sweet treats at the end, and we tried the chocolate cake and the tiramisu with fresh strawberrys and grapes. The chocolate cake was more like a lava cake than a torte and very good, the vanilla ice cream made the dish. The tiramisu was light creamy and fresh, the fresh fruit added a nice balance to the dessert. All in all, a world class view with good food and drink options, service is professional and on point. 4 Stars if you are not a guest of the hotel its worth the time to park and ride up the elevator and reservations are encouraged 01071

Apart from the name, the interior decor of orange, purple and yellow, with black ceilings, swirly patterns above the bar, lotus motifs, paper lanterns and a range of happily unmatched furniture reinforces the 60s ambience. Service is friendly and laid-back, too! It's a popular place with a wide range of clientele, many of whom sit outside under the trees in the square in the summer. It's a popular place to eat, too, though we haven't sampled the fare. Beers are good value, at around EUR2 a bottle (33cl).

A new bar recently opened in this narrow street, close to the centre of Vilanova. The frontage is…read morerather subtle, so it would be easy to miss when walking past. La Cau means 'the den' or 'the burrow' in Catalan, and it's a fitting description, in that the small front bar area, with a narrow row of seating, leads onto a larger interior room behind with two TV screens and half a dozen tables. It's all done out in a clean modern décor with old photographs of Vilanova, with a painting of a brown bear above the words 'La Cau'. The toilets were particularly modern and spotlessly clean. They serve the usual range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic rinks, and there's a basic tapas menu, with a range of hot and cold sandwiches on offer; warm Spanish tortilla sandwiches (in a crusty baguette) were especially nice at EUR3. Beers are around EUR2 for a 33cl bottle.
