El Candil

A quiet bar/restaurant in Providencia. The traffic outside is noticeable but not excessive and drinking outside here has a genuinely pleasant urban flavour. If you fancy making a night of it, Bar Liguria is practically next door.

Bar Liguria
This bar looks like a 1950s American diner and plays music ranging from classic 1950s rock to what you'd hear in a mid-2000s London pub. For all that, it's clearly no tourist trap and the clientele are mainly local. At the weekend the bars on Pio Nono are probably a better bet, but for a mid-week drink this is well worth a visit. It is also a great restaurant during the day. It serves many local dishes and drinks, including great wines.
