DARK Alicante is the city’s main gay cruise bar, and it wears its name with confidence. Hidden behind an unassuming door in the city center, it’s where curious tourists and local men drift in for a drink and see where the night takes them. The atmosphere is dark, but the vibe is friendly — relaxed, masculine, and a bit mysterious.
The layout blends bar and play space, with areas designed for conversation, cruising, and everything in between. The music stays in the background, giving the place a more underground, club-meets-lounge feel. You’ll find themed nights, private cabins, a maze, and darker corners for those who prefer some anonymity.
Crowds pick up late, especially on weekends, after people have had their fill of tapas and beach cocktails. DARK is more about connection than spectacle — it’s low-lit, confident, and knows exactly what it offers. If you like your nightlife with a touch of shadow, this is where you’ll find it in Alicante.

“Where Alicante’s nights turn bold, dim, and deliciously discreet.”
