Organised evening entertainment here is generally to be found in the resort hotels and some Bars. Mahon, Ciutadella and Es Castell however offer alot more with something for everyone, but with none of the "bing drink clubbing" to be found on Ibizia and Majorca. Menorca is not Majorca but that is why many people come here!
Definitely no nightclubs in S'Algar but a chain brand beachclub ( Dj Music, Club, Boutique )- purobeach. Along the coast in Binibequer / Binibeca there are some chilled out bars ( Bar Papua, ) with live Music in summer. There are no discos only small bars. Entertainment is in the larger hotels also open to non residents if you buy drinks.

More music and bars at Punta Prima & Sant Lluis ( musikbox ) ( on bus routes )
Mahon or Es Castell is a bus ride / taxi ride away for a lot more.
For livelier / 'younger' entertainment visit Mahon where the chill out and dance clubs are located together down in the harbour area and it the old city centre.
Great bars & dance 'til dawn night clubs and music venues in Mahon. Taxi back late at night ( ~ 22 Euro )
TIP Want to visit a Club or Music bar? Don't forget you are on Menorcan time, nothing starts to happen until after 11 pm
