Currently €15.00 open weekend only early season.
Anfora has been there forever (well longer than anyone will admit to) and during the holiday season it is the longest standing full time 'GAY' club in Ibiza.
Anfora is the one club that you are likely to visit more than once on your holiday, if not every night. Compared to the rest of the island's clubbing life, Anfora is practically the clubbing equivalent of a welcome cup of cocoa.
It is possibly one of the island's smallest clubs, but provides a great night out in a gay environment (attractive men and little attitude). Straights, visiting with gay friends are tolerated (as long as you can't tell). Girls are not popular in the dark room and will be very quickly barred from the club.
The music has improved dramatically but can still be 'wrong' at just the right time.
Thursdays is 'Night Fever' night which is about as much fun as you are going to get in Ibiza.
Everything else is a little predictable, last year's Madonna night on Tuesdays could appear a little unadventurous, depending on the crowd visiting, and the Wed night Drag show (which used to be an institution along with the Sunday show) has disappeared. The Sunday night show only ran high season. Out of high season Anfora can be a bit difficult...
 Like most bars in Ibiza town, Anfora does not have one member of English speaking staff but is still JUST about the friendliest club, in a unique setting, in the middle of 'anywhere'.
The upstairs bar has been designated a BEAR BAR, for the larger hairier guys are most welcome. Are hairless bears just called fat? or Bare Bears?
If you have not been there before, it can be difficult to find Anfora.
Long and convoluted instructions... either:
• walk up through Dalt Vila's main entrance (Portal de las Tablas - the big ramp at Mercado Viejo/Plaça de Constitució); turn right (no choice unless you want to sit down for a second); at the end of the entrance battlements, turn left (back on yourself), away from the main square (Plaça de Vila), and head up the cobbled hill; just before El Portalón restaurant (Plaça Desamparados), turn right and walk up the fabulously spaced steps (look for the "Anfora" sign on the wall above your head).
• or take a taxi if outside of Ibiza Town, or if you have no shame. A new mini bus service runs around the centre of Ibiza town up to the Dalt Vila from 07:30 - 22:30 - number 45.
The entrance to the club is directly at the top of the stairs, (it looks like the front door of a typical Dalt Vila house).
The dance floor is built in a cave; the four bars are split over two levels; there are loads of nooks and crannies; and two staircases (for making a quick exit from D.O.A. trade). The "bird room" and aviary was removed some time ago and replaced with a Morocco lounge, and finally there are pop and porn videos (not on the same screen) and a dark room...
The club can be quiet out of season before 1:30am, but still gathers a reasonable to good crowd most nights.
In mid and high season it gets totally packed (the entry ticket gets you a drink).
Anfora does tend to be passed over by those with an 'wanna be on a guest list' attitude but it is genuinely a good night out whoever you think you are.
