Gran Canaria Tips: Where Are The Best Music Pubs In Playa Del Inglés?

The most recommended music bars in Playa del Inglés The most recommended music bars in Playa del Inglés Various

Where are the best pubs and bars in Playa del Inglés that play great tunes? Obviously, the answer to this is highly subjective but here are four places that consistently get recommended for the music and atmosphere by the 16,000 Gran Canaria fans in our Facebook group

The Turbo Pub in the Kasbah

It sells cheap beer and plays rock and metal tunes. It's probably not your pub if you prefer easy listening music!

Here's a typical review:

"Great bar, great atmosphere, great staff, great music 5*, if you're in Gran Canaria and love metal this should be your first and last destination"

The Tipsy Hammock by the beach

The Tipsy Hammock is a highlight of the beachfront strip in front of Playa del Inglés (Paseo Costa Canaria 24).

Here's what people say: 

"The very best surfer´s/beach bar in Playa del Ingles! Filip and Pavel are genuinely nice people and the culture that they and their staff have created in the bar is AWESOME... it's not just a bar, its a lifestyle! the only place to sip mojitos in Playa del Ingles"

 

Dunes & Tunes Irish Beach Bar

It's on the beachfront in the Annexo Dos strip right by Playa del Inglés beach. 

Here's a classic review:

"Great pub great drinks and brilliant staff, keenly priced and above all its rock n roll from the 50s right up to rock n metal of today, a real good mix of ages and there is a long-haired guitarist (that's Danny) who is utterly brilliant! Highly recommended folks"

Patrick's Bar in the Aguila Roja (Irish Centre)

Patrick's Bar in Playa del InglesYou don't really head to the Aguila Roja for a sedate evening but if you want fun after the sun, then Patrick's Bar gets plenty of thumbs up from Gran Canaria fans who like a good pub atmosphere and music. It's got Guinness too!

Here's a fan review:

"Favourite bar in Gran Canaria! All the staff INSIDE the pub are the nicest people I've ever come across. Johny the DJ really makes the place, he's the most warm-hearted madman I've ever met and so friendly. Every person from the barmen, waiters, chefs to DJs are such a nice group of people. You'd be mad not to go!!"

Tip of the day

  • The Parafarmacia In Gran Canaria Is Not A Chemist!
    The Parafarmacia In Gran Canaria Is Not A Chemist!

    If there is one thing we hate it is visitors being tricked in Gran Canaria. In the past we've warned about overcharging at Gran Canaria chemists, and rip off electronics shops in resorts. 

    In this Tip Of The Day we return to the island's chemists or rather, to the island's fake chemists.

    A chemist in Gran Canaria is called a Farmacia and always has a green cross sign. Farmacias are the only place tobuy medicine in Spain, even basics like paracetamol.

    However, there is another kind of shop in Gran Canaria that looks and sounds like a chemist but doesn't sell medicine. This is the Parafarmacia and it also uses a green cross sign.

    A parafarmacia is a herbal medicine shop that is not allowed to sell any normal medicine such as paracetamol, ibuprofen or antibiotics. 

    Instead, parafarmacias sell herbal alternatives to medicine but don't have to prove that they work and they can charge whatever they want.

    We recently heard from a visitor to Gran Canaria who went into a parafarmacia and was charged 40 euros for a herbal alternative to Ibuprofen. It was only when they read the label that they realised what had happened. 

    To locate a genuine farmacia, see this website and search within your municipio (Puerto Rico is in Mogán, Playa del Inglés is in San Bartolomé de Tirajana). At weekends and on fiesta days many farmacias close but there is always one open, known as the farmacia de guardia, in each municipio.

    Search for the nearest one to you with this tool

    Lex Says: To keep costs down, see this article for the way to ask for generic medicine rather than expensive branded alternatives.
