Personal comments:
Unfortunately, the hot night spots in Valencia change from week to week. When I was there, the students all crashed plaza xuquer on the weekends for cuba libres! If you are there during the summer, hit the clubs at the beach! There might be a long line, but it is worth it! During the week, there are many pubs and cafes that cater to everything from pints with friends to studying with jazz. DO NOT miss las fallas in March. Go to plaza ayuntamiento at midday to experience the loudest, longest firecracker display of your life, then at night you can catch a fireworks show that puts most American July 4th festivities to shame. Pub Dover in Plaza Xuquer is a great Irish pub with Valencian natives who like to help Americans practice their Spanish. I worked there, so I speak from experience on this one!

Personal comments:
I loved the old town part "El Carmen" but that´s not really an inside info because nearly everyone goes there. My best insider: ask for the "circulo teatro". A bunch of bars and cafes organize entertainments at night, the program changes every two month. The entrance is for free, you only have to drink something.

All the clubs at the beach. The best party I have ever seen in my life is in March (it is called "Fallas"). The best nightlife you can find in the streets "Juan LLorens", "Avenida Aragón" and "Calle Caballeros".
