Playa Blanca is home to eight sports bars, which reflect the transformation of this former fishing village on the south coast of Lanzarote into a holiday resort. The best sports bars in Playa Blanca are lined up along Avenida de Papagayo and around the Marina Rubicón, where the Atlantic Football Bar and the PeakyBlinders_SportBar draw their guests to the bar. British holidaymakers make up the bulk of the clientele. Unlike the noisier Puerto del Carmen, football here is enjoyed without the fanfare, with a drink in hand and a view across the channel towards Fuerteventura.
Sports bars in Playa Blanca: The top spots
Most venues open at midday and close late; opening hours are dictated by the match schedule. A beer rarely costs more than three euros, which is in line with prices in the region. On evenings when there’s Champions League or Premier League football, the regulars quickly fill the limited seating, so it’s worth booking a table in advance. Popeyes Sports Bar at the Centro Comercial Punta Limones is the most popular, with 645 reviews. Both cards and cash are accepted. English is sufficient for communication; you don’t need to speak Spanish.
Tips for your visit
Several of the eight bars are situated near the promenade, from where the view stretches across the canal towards Fuerteventura. Spanish league matches are shown on the large screens, whilst English draught beer flows freely at the bar. Come kick-off time, British and German regulars gather together on the terraces. The Wax Sports Bar in CC Papagayo has 166 reviews and an average rating of 4.4 stars.
Among the town’s 34 bars, visitors can spot the sports bars by their projectors and boards displaying the upcoming kick-off times. The menu features fried snacks and dishes made with local fish alongside the drinks. Near the harbour, in the old fishing quarter, moored boats form the backdrop to the Sports, Music and Beer Bar Las Coloradas on Calle de las Buganvillas.
