ARCHIVED - Costa Blanca pub, club and other public venue opening hours approved for 2023
For the first time, concert halls and 'escape room' games in Alicante province and the rest of the Valencia Region have been included in the official timetable

Thanks to Covid, keeping abreast of official opening times of bars, restaurants and discotheques over the last couple of years has been a challenge, for management and customers alike.
However, provided the pandemic continues in the downward trajectory, things, in theory at least, look simpler next year. The Valencian Government has regulated and approved opening hours for public establishments for 2023, with a couple of new additions, including concert halls and increasingly popular 'escape rooms'.
Valencia's Director General of Interior, Salvador Almenar Antón, said the new regulations incorporate all establishments that provide "recreational and sociocultural activities included in the Law on Public Shows, Recreational and Cultural Activities and Public Establishments".
"It is important that each activity has a clear timetable to prevent the opening hours from being extended, thus harming the public's right to rest," he added.
These are the approved opening and closing times of establishments in the Valencia Region for 2023:
- Circus shows, cinema, theatres, auditoriums, amphitheatres, performing arts venues and, for the first time, concert halls: Open 10am until the end of the last show/session that must start at 1.05am at the latest.
- Pubs, theatre and concert cafes, karaoke bars and establishments with "erotic exhibitions": May open at 12 noon and close at 3.30am.
- Amusement arcades: 8am until 1am.
- Conference halls, bullfighting shows, museums and exhibition halls, skating rinks, amusement parks, theme parks, strategy game establishments with simulated weapons and 'escape room' games: 9am until 1am.
- Socio-cultural venues may offer live music and cultural performances during daylight hours and until 10pm.
- Water parks and toy libraries: 9am to 12pm.
- Bullfighting schools, cyber-lounges and similar establishments: 10am to 12pm.
- Bowling alleys and billiards halls: 10am to 1pm.
- Sports establishments such as sports halls, sports fields and stadiums, sports, recreational or multi-purpose swimming pools, and gyms (provided they have accredited soundproofing of the premises): 6.30am to 1am.
- Discotheques, nightclubs and dance halls: 5pm to 7.30am.
- Cafes, restaurants, bars and cyber cafes: 6am to 1.30am (except for those established in premises considered convenience stores, whose opening hours will be from 8am to 3am.
- Banqueting halls: 10 am to 3.30am.
- Zoos, aquariums and safari parks: 9am to 10pm.
- Multi-purpose halls may open at 9am and the lounge areas at 12pm, but both must close at 2.30pm.
