La Taberna Sonora Alacant

La Taberna Sonora is a small bar on Calle José Gutiérrez Petén in Alicante. A Tripadvisor reviewer describes a wooden, cosy room, and its Facebook page lists jazz, blues and rock and roll alongside tapas, pinchos and vermouth. Reviewers like the home-style cooking, the variety of dishes and the wine, and one calls it small but charming. It holds a 4.8 rating on Google from more than 300 reviews, which is high for a neighbourhood bar. Reservations are by phone only, on 666 82 60 28. Walk-ins are fine if there's a table free, and groups of six or more should call at least a day ahead. Hours change through the year, so ring before you go. It's a spot for a relaxed evening of small plates rather than a big sit-down feast.
