Lanzarote boasts a vibrant bar culture that stands out from standard holiday offerings. A distinctive feature of the island is the use of locally grown Malvasía wine, produced from volcanic soil, in innovative cocktail creations that cannot be found on other Canary Islands. The twelve most renowned cocktail bars range from laid-back beach bars and contemporary bars in Arrecife to lesser-known venues in Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise.
Cocktail bars in Lanzarote: prices and opening hours
Nightlife on Lanzarote follows a late-night rhythm; before 10 pm, the bars are mainly frequented by tourists. From 11 pm onwards, more locals start to appear, and in some cases even later. Cocktails typically cost between eight and 13 euros, with prices tending towards the higher end in tourist hotspots such as Puerto del Carmen. Whilst cash payments are appreciated in smaller establishments, card payments have become the norm everywhere. Visitors who speak Spanish report having more in-depth conversations with bar staff and gaining greater insight into the favourite creations of individual bar managers.

Tips for your visit
In Lanzarote’s 213 bars, bartenders often mix mojitos with local Malvasia rum instead of the standard imported brands. Along Arrecife’s harbour promenade, bars serve this sundowner with a view of the volcanic coastline. The island’s black lava rock features as a decorative element behind many a bar counter. Fresh mint from the funnel-shaped hollows of La Geria finds its way into some glasses.
In the evening, the 68 cafés often switch their focus to wine and light long drinks. César Manrique’s sweeping design language characterises the architecture of individual lounges along the coast. Out on the terraces, the trade winds cool the cocktails faster than indoors.
