Going out in Coronel Oviedo revolves around a handful of fixed spots: the Sui Generis karaoke bar, the D Shopping food court, a roadside restaurant on Ruta PY02 and, in October, the Gran Festival del Ajo. Friday and Saturday are the busy nights; on weeknights, an early dinner is the safe bet.
Where to sing or keep the night going?
1. Karaoke Bar Sui Generis. A karaoke bar in the city. Its Trip.com (opens in a new tab) listing places it on calle Florida and notes that it takes reservations and has free street parking. It's a group night: book a table for more than six, arrive early if you want more than one song, and ask whether there's a cover or minimum spend that night.
2. D Shopping Coronel Oviedo. The city's first mall. When it opened in 2014, its food court seated about 250 and stayed open until 00:00, with an in-house pub running to 03:00 (Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)). In 2024 it turned ten with more than 20 local brands (Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)). Good for pre-drinks or dinner with people who want it quiet.
Where to eat before going out?
3. Restaurant Parador La Nona. On Ruta PY02, km 130. According to Trip.com (opens in a new tab) it is kid-friendly, with high chairs, parking, wifi and card payments. Handy if you are passing through or staying on the highway.
4. Food Park Cristo Rey. Listed in the city's food guide on Trip.com (opens in a new tab). A food park suits groups where everyone wants something different.
5. Tabasco Cantina, Abril Café and Charlot. Other names in the same Trip.com (opens in a new tab) guide; Charlot is the best rated on the list. Message them on social media to confirm hours.
What to do before or after dinner?
6. Downtown squares. Plaza de los Héroes, Plaza José Segundo Decoud and Plaza de la Libertad have been restored and make a pleasant walk once the heat drops (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)).
7. Casa de la Cultura and the Orquesta Filarmónica Ovetense. Oviedo has its own cultural scene: the Philharmonic, the Asociación Filarmónica with its GOBAU cultural space, and the Sociedad Cultural, which runs a national short-film contest (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). Check their social media for a concert or screening that weekend: a different, cheap night out.
Which dates change the night in Oviedo?
8. Gran Festival del Ajo (Garlic Festival). The city's best-known festival, held during the founding-anniversary cultural week (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). It takes place at night at the Estadio Municipal El Cerrito: its 17th edition started at 21:00, with general, VIP and "VIP Ajos" tickets, and children up to 10 got in free (Última Hora (opens in a new tab)). Buy tickets early.
9. Virgen del Rosario and the city's anniversary. In early October the city celebrates its patron saint and its founding; in 2026 the anniversary fell on 8 October (Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)). Expect a busier centre and book dinner.
10. Rally and tournaments. The rally returned to Oviedo in 2024 after 18 years, and basketball and futsal tournaments draw big crowds (Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)). If your visit overlaps, book everything ahead.
How to get home safely?
- Carry ID: Law 1,642/2000 (opens in a new tab) bans selling alcohol to anyone under 20, and dance venues often check at the door.
- Oviedo sits at the junction of Ruta PY02 and PY08 (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)), so many venues are on the highway. If you drink, don't drive: agree on a driver or a taxi before going out.
- If you are in town for work, pick something near your hotel: weeknights are quiet and crossing the city isn't worth it.
