Guinness, sea air and evenings on a volcanic island
Most pubs don’t open until late afternoon. Dinner is served earlier than in Spanish restaurants, a rhythm that follows the pace of the holidaymakers. A pint costs between 3 and 6 euros, and card payments are accepted almost everywhere. Along the Avenida de Papagayo in Playa Blanca, the Sláinte Bar is at number 17 and the Valinor at number 79. In Puerto del Carmen, the Avenida de las Playas runs through the town, with O’Sheas Irish Restaurant at number 103. Tipping is optional, but a tip of 5 to 10 per cent is appreciated.
Tips for your visit
The east coast is home to a concentration of Irish pubs. The Irish Anvil Bar in the Centro Comercial Punta Limones in Playa Blanca tops the list with 3,368 reviews. In Costa Teguise, the local Shamrock has 750 reviews and a 4.4-star rating, right next to the Jablillo Centre. Live music in the evenings is a regular feature at some of these venues, often featuring cover bands and acoustic guitar. In Arrecife on the east coast, such venues are fewer and further between than in the holiday resorts.
Tías has some venues of its own, such as The Irish Viking pub at 8 Calle Doramas, with 701 reviews, and The Big Tree Irish Pub on Calle Ntra. Sra. del Carmen. The menus range from fish and chips to Sunday roasts. Some of these venues serve Malvasia from La Geria alongside Irish stout. Among the island’s 213 bars, these pubs have carved out their own distinctive identity.
