Calle del Pal, 5, Benidorm, Coming up from the beach on Avenida del Martinez Alejos turn left at the sports shop and walk pasted Cerveceria 100 Montaditos. On towards Kaffe Klee then right next door is The Pig and Whistle.
Overview
Pig And Whistle, an establishment with a rich history dating back to its inception in 1971, stands as a testament to the enduring charm of the Old Town. Stepping into its hallowed halls, one is instantly transported to the heart of a traditional English pub, where time-honored customs and conviviality thrive. A delightful surprise for me is the presence of Brewdog bitter, a cherished favorite among the pantheon of beverages. As a connoisseur of this esteemed brand, my delight knows no bounds.
Adding to the tapestry of significance, my wife’s lineage is interwoven with the fabric of the publican trade. Her parents’ illustrious tenure of over 21 years as proprietors of a charming pub nestled in the scenic embrace of the UK Peak District lends her discerning eye a sense of approval towards Pig And Whistle. A nod of affirmation from one so intimately acquainted with the nuances of this trade is no small feat.
Transcending the realm of libations, Pig And Whistle offers a resounding symphony of live music acts that grace its stage each night. Recently, the stage played host to Heartbreaker, a dynamic pop/rock duo whose harmonious cadence enraptured the audience. In a different sonic vein, the soulful notes of Ice, a performer well-versed in soul, reggae, and R&B, cast a spell that left the crowd bewitched. It is a true testament to the establishment’s discerning curation that such talented artists find their home here.
The atmosphere that envelops Pig And Whistle is nothing short of magical. A sense of coziness pervades every nook and cranny, beckoning patrons to linger and partake in the unfolding tapestry of merriment. However, a word of caution: it would be wise to not wear flip-flops as the labyrinthine dance of enthusiastic feet may inadvertently lead to a toe-treading encounter, which, while adding to the sense of camaraderie, might be better avoided.
In sum, Pig And Whistle stands as a living testament to the enduring allure of tradition, harmonious melodies, and the embrace of conviviality. As one steps through its doors, the passage of time seems to pause, allowing us to revel in the rich tapestry of experiences that await within its hallowed confines. And if it all gets too much for you, you can stand outside with your pint and chill out whilst not missing anything.
