Top 10 hostel bars in Europe

06/11/2014

Here's the top ten of European backpacker bars where the party never stops!

One of the reasons why we love hostels so much is that, unlike hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses, in a hostel you will always find a lively atmosphere; as in a hostel you share space and time with other people, it is the ideal environment for meeting new friends and backpackers from all over the world.

All this theory of ours can be easily proved just by going to a hostel bar. Hostels with a bar are always a step ahead: sharing a party, a gig, or just a beer or a cocktail with your fellow travellers or your new friends will be the icing on the cake of your hostel stay. You can't help but have fun in a hostel bar, we dare you get bored in one of the ten coolest European backpacker bars! Here's our top ten...enjoy!
