From small family run bars, through to the large disco pubs, most resorts have a wide range of facilities to offer.
The smaller bars usually provide music using a normal hi-fi with the choice of music geared towards the clientele they're trying to attract. Often they provide bar snacks, or a limited menu, and a large majority have the feeling of home, with pool table and dart board.
|
The larger bars and pubs often have an "in-house-DJ" playing popular music, with some specialising in a particular genre of music, such as R & B or "Old Skool". Often there are special "Party Nights" with games and prizes on offer.
Karaoke is still very popular in Mallorca and a lot of bars have karaoke on a regular basis. |

Live music is widely available throughout the island, although there are strict laws to restrict the noise level, something which applies to all criteria of music. A lot of areas insist on the use of machines, limiters, to prevent the noise from going above a particular decibel level.
A lot of the smaller bars prefer to keep to one man shows, or duets, whereas the larger venues and the hotels are able to provide larger groups, like the "Abba Tribute" many of which play live, with their own band, whilst others still prefer to work to professional backing tracks. |
There are also a number of dance troupes, comedians, magicians and hypnotist acts to provide a different kind of show. For those who wish to join in, then Karaoke is still popular in many venues.
There are also still several "Dinner Show" type entertainment venues with spectacular lighting and stage effects with complete orchestral backing. |
