Book with PearlWhy go
La Margarete is a late-week Ciutadella bar to consider for a date or post-dinner celebration drink, especially when the night needs one planned stop rather than a full meal. The main constraint is its limited opening schedule, so keep a backup if your plans are flexible or group-led.
About La Margarete
La Margarete has a limited weekly schedule in Ciutadella, so the main planning point is timing. It opens Friday and Saturday only, with the rest of the week closed. Dress is casual.
Plan La Margarete around its hours rather than around an assumed food or beverage program. It may fit an evening itinerary in Ciutadella when the timing works, but it should not be treated as a lunch, dinner, wine, cocktail, or tasting-menu destination without checking current details directly.
A limited-schedule Ciutadella venue
For planning purposes, the key detail is the weekly window: La Margarete is closed Monday through Thursday, open Friday from 8 PM to 1:30 AM, open Saturday from 4 PM to 1 AM, and closed Sunday. If you need a broader dining plan before or after, use Our full Ciutadella restaurants guide first, then decide whether La Margarete's hours fit the same night.
Do not assume a specific wine list, cocktail program, food menu, or price level. Readers comparing evening options can also check Our full Ciutadella bars guide and consider names such as Bar Imperi, Bravo, Chill Out Bar, Cristine's Secret Garden, Sunset Bar Amagatay, or other dining in Ciutadella generically.
Plan the night around scarcity, then keep a backup
The limited opening pattern is the practical constraint. La Margarete is not a flexible seven-day option, so it is worth checking the day of the week before building an itinerary around it. If the group needs a fuller evening plan, pair the venue choice with Our full Ciutadella experiences guide or, for staying in Ciutadella, Our full Ciutadella hotels guide.
For readers deciding whether to prioritise it, the answer is simple: consider La Margarete if you want a casual Ciutadella stop during its Friday or Saturday opening hours. If you need cuisine, prices, a published drinks program, lunch service, or a larger itinerary anchor, compare it with other Ciutadella options such as Bar Imperi or choose from the broader local guides.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
La Margarete sits quietly within Ciutadella’s stone-walled old quarter, where limestone palaces and narrow, arched lanes shape the entry experience. The bar deliberately diverges from the island’s standard drink rota, gin-tonics, local brandy and wine, by foregrounding a cocktail programme, so the mood combines neighbourhood familiarity with a focused, technique-minded approach. The setting feels like a small, lived-in place that rewards arrival on foot: the streetscape does much of the atmospheric work before the first drink, making the venue read as a cozy, somewhat hidden discovery in a historic part of town.
Best For
La Margarete is best for low-key, late-night drinking and casual evenings out in Ciutadella’s old town. It fits visitors and locals who want to move away from the tourist-facing waterfront and instead wind up in a residential lane for a well-crafted cocktail. The bar’s location on Carrer de Sant Joan Baptista makes it a destination for people exploring the medieval streets by foot and for those seeking a relaxed alternative to louder, terrace-driven venues. It’s not positioned as a formal dining spot but as a neighbourhood cocktail bar.
Ordering Tips
Order from the cocktail programme rather than defaulting to the standard Balearic choices: the bar’s principal distinction is its focus on crafted cocktails over the usual gin-tonics, brandy and wine. Expect a technique-led approach rather than big, gimmicky lists; ask the staff about their signature or seasonally informed serves. Because La Margarete sits off the main waterfront strip, arriving on foot through the old lanes enhances the experience: treat the walk there as part of the outing and allow time to settle into the quieter, streetside ambience before your drink arrives.

Bar context
How La Margarete compares in Ciutadella
Choose La Margarete when the brief is a late-week, date-leaning bar stop in Ciutadella and booking stress should stay low. Bar Imperi is the safer casual fallback if the group wants a simpler decision and less occasion framing, while La Margarete makes more sense when the night is built around one planned drink after dinner.
Sunset Bar Amagatay and Cristine's Secret Garden are better cross-shops if ambiance is the main reason for choosing a bar, especially for travellers willing to look beyond central Ciutadella. La Margarete is the more practical pick when staying in town matters more than chasing a setting-led evening.
For a broader, flexible night, compare it with Bravo and Chill Out Bar. Those are more useful backup names if the plan is group-driven or weather-dependent. La Margarete is the tighter recommendation for couples who already know they want a compact late stop rather than a roaming bar crawl.
