Syrah Wine Bar

Syrah is a cosy wine and tapas bar on Calle Castaños, and it's a lovely place to start an evening with a glass of local wine before the street gets loud. Tables spill into the alley outside and the interior is warm and good-looking. The wine list is the reason to come, and staff take time to introduce local bottles, explaining where they come from and how they taste. The tapas match the wine: think Alicante classics like Raf tomato with pericana, plus cheeses and a zucchini carpaccio that regulars mention. If wine isn't your thing, they mix mojitos and piña coladas too. It opens in the late afternoon or early evening every day and runs until midnight, a bit later on Fridays and Saturdays. Reviewers often say they came back a second time, and staff get named for making a date night special. Grab an outside table on a warm evening and settle in.
