Bar Jimmy’s Moraira: a Dutch pub with football and Formula 1

Bar Jimmy’s: football and Formula 1 in Moraira

Bar Jimmy’s is a Dutch pub on the promenade by l’Ampolla beach, a few minutes’ walk from Calamora. The owner, Theo, is behind the bar himself, there are sandwiches and bitterballen, and inside there is a screen with sport on it. This is where Dutch guests run into one another in Moraira.

Sport on screen

Bar Jimmy’s shows most football matches and puts Formula 1 on as well. Do bear in mind that it is a small bar with one screen indoors, and that screen is not large. You sit close together and it fills up quickly for a big match, so come early. The owners are Dutch, so the commentary is most likely to be in Dutch; if you want a particular match or a particular channel, or English commentary, call ahead.

Location

The bar is on the Paseo del Senillar, the promenade along l’Ampolla beach. From Calamora on the Avenida de Madrid you walk down to the beach first, about 200 metres, and then a short way further along the promenade.

The kitchen and the menu

Not a restaurant menu but a pub menu: sandwiches, snacks and bitterballen, with beer and spirits alongside. Reviewers often mention that the food is better than you would expect from a pub.

Opening hours and booking

You do not normally need to book. For a big match it is wise to call ahead: +34 602 439 815.
