Whenever the kids are off having fun at the beach, I like to sneak off to The Winning Post for a quiet drink and a few cheeky bets. It’s got that proper British pub atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to relax, watch the races, and see if I can turn a few euros into something more (though, let’s be honest, the bookies usually have other plans!).
A Great Place to Unwind
What I love about The Winning Post is how welcoming it feels. The staff are friendly, the drinks are well-priced, and there’s always a bit of banter to be had. Whether I’m catching up on the latest footy scores or chatting with a few fellow punters about who’s got the best odds, there’s always something going on.
They pour a solid pint of John Smith’s, have all the usual lagers, ciders, and spirits, and if I’m feeling fancy, maybe even a cheeky whiskey to go with the betting slip.
Horse Racing, Football, and Plenty of Action
As the name suggests, The Winning Post is all about horse racing. With the races on screen and plenty of regulars having a flutter, the atmosphere is always buzzing—especially when someone actually wins! But it’s not just about racing. They’ve got all the big football matches, rugby, darts, and snooker on too, making it a great place to watch the action unfold.
If the kids and my wife are off enjoying the sun, I know I can spend a bit of time here, catch a few races, and maybe (just maybe) walk out with a few extra euros in my pocket.
A Classic British Bar in Benidorm
At the end of the day, The Winning Post is the kind of place that feels like home. Whether I win or lose on the bets, I always leave in a good mood—especially when I head back to the beach and make it look like I’ve just been out for a “nice little walk”!
If you’re in Benidorm and fancy a pint, a bet, or just a good laugh, this is definitely a place worth checking out. Just don’t blame me if the bookies take all your holiday spending money!
