Refuel Bar in Benidorm is a standout spot with friendly service, great drinks, and a sun-kissed terrace overlooking Poniente Beach. It’s more than just a bar — it’s a welcoming oasis with personality and charm
Nestled above Poniente Beach on Calle San Pedro, Refuel is a local gem that blends laid-back vibes with attentive service. While technically the bar arm of the neighboring restaurant, Refuel holds its own as a destination — a drinking oasis with snacks that surprise.
Service That Shines What truly sets Refuel apart is its hand-picked team of staff, who go beyond friendliness to show genuine care for your experience. Regulars rave about the proactive hospitality, and names like Anna Marie and Morgan pop up often — not just servers, but standout personalities who make you feel at home.
Breakfast & Beverages Bottomless breakfast is available and generous enough to satisfy even a “Big Billy,” though a regular portion hits the spot for most. Spanish beer on tap keeps things local, while cocktails and other drinks are mixed to your liking — no fuss, just flavor. The food menu includes British classics, light bites, and desserts like white chocolate cheesecake and crumble.
Views & Vibes The sun-protected terrace offers a stunning view of Parque de Elche and the beach below — perfect for a breezy brunch or sunset sip. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, ideal for solo travelers, couples, or groups looking to unwind without the tourist crush.
Reputation & Recognition Refuel consistently ranks among the top bars in Benidorm, earning a Travellers’ Choice Award and glowing reviews for its food, service, and ambiance.
Whether you’re popping in for a pint, a cheeky cocktail, or a full breakfast with a view, Refuel delivers warmth, flavor, and a touch of local flair. If you’re wandering Benidorm and need a place to recharge — this is...
Read moreThis review is for both Refuel and The Dining Room as they are both connected, the latter being for more upmarket products but the DH kitchen serves both.
Refuel was only 50m from our hotel and due to the food being so much more superior, we ate there most of the time instead of at the hotel.
The staff are fantastic. Friendly, speedy and really cannot do enough. They are an array of differing nationalities and all speak English. I'm sure there's a stack of cards behind the counter already filled out, but what a great touch to deliver a birthday card to your table when they discover what you are celebrating! So well done Zeus, Barry, Shahbaz and the rest of the team.
The restaurant itself is clean, the staff turning to at the start of every day before the tables are put out. We found that this eliminated flies unlike other establishments in the main town. One suggestion though - rip out the toilet and install a newer, cleaner facility please. I know space is limited, but it is the only thing that had a negative aspect to the restaurant.
We had a total of seven meals here. Almost all cooked to perfection, be they fast food or Sunday Lunch. Every dish was presented well and with good portion sizes.
In all, we would make a point of visiting again... if they can bear the sight of us once more!...
Read moreAfter a visit to Balcón del Mediterráneo and the old town me and my fiancé decided to have a drink and some light food. Based on TripAdvisor suggestion we decided to try ReFuel which was number one in suggestions. We were extremely impressed with the place. The cleanliness and very attentive stuff made our visit 5 star. Affordable prices and generous portions of delicious meals made us stay for more than two hours. We had outside table where we could enjoy the view of Poniente beach and romantic sunset. We can not recommend ReFuel more. It's one of this magic places where you will be coming back again and again. Felt in love with this place and I am sure that you will too. The staff made all efforts to make sure our visit...
