Bars in Tenerife mean much more than coffee, beers and booze

Bars in Tenerife come in amazing styles, such below by Plaza del Charo of Puerto de la Cruz.

To the contrary, La Noria in the Santa Cruz capital has its bars all along one street on both sides.

Some unusual types of bars on the biggest Canary Island

• Bars with breathtaking views like the Paradise Country Bar Vista Paraiso as its name implies
  
• Stereotype beach bars like several Chiringuitos on Las Teresitas

• Shisha bars that call themselves clubs
• Rural Mountain village Bars that are also shops like in Teno Alto

• Bar Restaurants like the typical Bar El Rubio,which is catergorized BARc by law
  

Mind that this Bar C type food is superior to most Cafeteria Bars that serve typical a la carte fast food in tourist hubs. In fact,  many little fishing villages like Caleta de Interian also cater for locals which makes all the difference. Note the white table cloth that is one proof of it.

• A Vegan bar alternative in Candelaria near beaches with delicious food in a lovely setting suited to take your dog along
• Cafeteria Malaika of Calle Mequinez Puerto de la Cruz with its Bio Food that has closed and has a new name and a new manager, now
  

• Sports bars in Tenerife with 24-hour-sports-TV-channels like the Paraiso Bar from the Seventies of XX that had sponsored the Longuera Realejos Soccer club that's even open on January 01 or the Bee Hive Pub in Calle Hoya Puerto Cruz
  
• Bodega bars where wine barrels are kept like at El Tajaral or in the Guines cave bar

Sports bars and/or British bars

Those are establishments that usually have a good English breakfast but, generally food is less important compared to sports,  beers and company to watch popular sports matches.

Unfortunately, baked beans are not part of breakfast at Fefo the former Bar Medano. However, the bacon was even better when I was there on June 27th of 2024 and so was service. The price for the breakfast is more or less the same. There are very clean toilets. No more signs of sports TV presentations.

Puerto de La Cruz gay bars in Tenerife

Find both Anderson as well as Vampis on Avenida Familia Betancourt y Molida, 24,  Floor -1, Local LE2 with Vampis underground next door. The four decade old Vampis is open occasionally, such es on the night of the Puerto de la Cruz Gay Mascarita Ponte Tacon and similar Carnival days. Then, there's the lovely little Arco Iris La Barca Bar that's displayed at the end of this page.

Beer with food in bars?

El Rincon del Tintin a pub of La Laguna with live music and tastings of its custom beer by a 10 minute walk from the Tranvia

This bar Rincon del Tintin the 10th year anniversary of which took place in June 2024  has stood the test of time,  also for its own beer brand as well as for its events.

• Government controlled clubs that have a long bar and serve booze and some occasional food, such as is done at Demeter
  
• Bars that have their own beer brewery, such as Tacoa at El Sauzal Tenerife or the Rincon de Rintin in La Laguna which also invites to taste its new beers
  

The Tacoa bar Restaurant with beer garden has made it through the severe times of the lockdown in Tenerife and is up and well again.

May be the smallest Tenerife bar

That means a mind bogging 12,47 square meters which include toilets.

Coromoto doesn't do Tapas any more. However, the Bocadillo El Cuartito is said to be delicious. I will sample it when I shall pass again by the street of the Gofio Mills.

Restaurants with proper bar service and entertainment

There are also entertainment bars in Tenerife with varied business hours, such as Rock Bar La Copa in Los Realejos that celebrates live music gigs for local Sixties Rock bands once in a while. 

Maredsous a Puerto de La Cruz Belgian Custom beer bar which serves Tapas

Find Bar Maredsous at Calle Agustin de Bethencourt 3, Tel: 34 922 38 82 43.

The Maredsous Tapas in their chiller box are looking good, while genuine Belgium beer is available. By the way, its street terrace is suited for quiet dogs.

Bars in Tenerife in or by Hotels

Such bars usually offer disco dance facilities. They may not belong to a hotel but have individual owners. The Disco Bar below Hotel Valle Mar in Puerto de la Cruz belongs to Cafe de Paris.

Individual bars in Tenerife

Blanco Bar a Puerto Cruz disco cafe and restaurant, also known as a live music bar in Tenerife 

Dog friendly bars in Tenerife

There are no known Tenerife bars where dogs may come inside. However, their street terraces are usually exceptions. 

Why some bars in Tenerife fail

Taperia Punto de Encuentro that also closed its doors in Tenerife may be in mainland Spain now.  Most bars in gigantic premises fail, as rental prices are too high. This has happened over and over in Casa Lara in Toscal Longuera. 

The Night Rock bar La Copa of Los Realejos with occasional live music

You may also spot its ancient red Canary corner house in Calle Garcia Estrada 6 with a spectacular Dragon Tree behind it. How? By approaching slowly on the coastal Road from San Vicente. 

The quality of food of La Copa has not changed for the 33 years that the bar exists.  It's prepared by the chef who is Anita's husband. Prices, as I noticed again in June 2024, are rather affordable, by the way.

Weekend and nightlife bars of Puerto de la Cruz

Bars in Tenerife with free Internet?

Tenerife bars where guests can freely log into the bar's Wifi are rather common now. Just ask the waiter for the bar's code. However, the Internet service is quickly overloaded and the connection may even interrupt.

Tapas bar from way back

It's best that you order drinks and Tapas inside the bar La Parada. Then, ask to be served on its terrace under the beautiful trees. 

Bars and more called Cafe Grimaldi at Casa Lercaro of century XVII

There are even more options than depicted here for eating out at this bar that's also called Cafe Grimaldi.

Cocktail route competition at bars in Tenerife

Nowadays, bar cocktail route competitions have become trendy just like those for Tapas. Best, colorful, alcoholic drinks win. In the south, I would always prefer Harry's bar in Arona (Tel: 0034+ 922 383307 open 10a.m.-2.a.m.)with its mellow music and views of the  musical fountain which is depicted as a bar at the Safari Center.

German Hannen Bar Puerto Cruz

• Street corner bar for German Hannen Bräu barrel beer with rustic furniture outside on Plaza del Charco the hub main square of Puerto de la Cruz
  

Auditorium Bar at the seaside in the Santa Cruz de Tenerife capital

Contemplate the bar's ocean scenery under stars at night or when the sun goes down. It's by the  Maritim Park of  Santa Cruz which has free parking. It's also right by the TF1 Southern freeway.

Beach bars Puerto de la Cruz

Enjoy occasional live music with dance, as may be organized by the Lions Club at this beach bar of Playa Jardin next to Castillo San Felipe. It serves delicious fish in Winter and perhaps in July or August.

Your alternative Beach bar El Charcón with a kitchen built into a volcanic rock on the Playa Jardin Punta Brava seashore is popular with Spanish seafood lovers. It has facilities to close its make shift windows when it's windy.

And the winner for Puerto de la Cruz is the Beach Playa Jardin  Restaurante Quiosco with its Chill out bar thanks to its views and live music to dance under stars in healthy ocean air.

Molly Malone Bar with live Irish music video

Let me include this  Irish bar of Des Reid, as an exception. Why? I prefer to add event bars under the topic entertainment. The location of the Molly Malone bar is C/Las Longas opposite the Tourist offices by the pier of the tiny Puerto de la Cruz harbor.
