The grill, cocktails and the bay before you

On Paseo Tenista David Ferrer, facing Arenal beach, Acqua Bar & Steakhouse opens every day from 9am with a non-stop kitchen and one clear speciality: meat.

A Jávea Company venue by the beach

Acqua is part of Jávea Company, the Jávea group behind other venues on the Arenal too. It describes itself as a gastrobar and cocktail bar, and its large terrace looks straight onto the beach: a meeting point both for a relaxed meal by the sea and for stretching the evening out with good music and cocktails.

It works without bookings: just turn up with a little time to spare and the team will find you a table as soon as possible. The kitchen stays open all day and pets are welcome.

From breakfast to the grill

The menu follows the whole day: breakfasts, baguettes and sandwiches, tapas, salads, kebabs and pizzas, paellas and rice dishes, pasta, desserts and a children's menu, plus its wine cellar and a long list of cocktails. The heart of the house is the BBQ & Grill section, cooked over charcoal.
