The kind of bar you stop explaining to people.

Mala Mama is a cocktail bar for expats, locals, artists, and the queer community of Alicante — anyone who wants a proper drink and a room that feels like somewhere, not anywhere.

Every drink earns its place on the menu. Every night earns its regulars.
