← All restaurants in Playa Honda
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Playa Honda has six bars, and none of them come across as mere holiday backdrops. The best bars in Playa Honda are clustered along Avenida Playa Honda and down Calle Mástil. The Bar Restaurante La Caleta on Avenida 46 has 694 reviews and a 4.4-star rating. Malvasía wine from volcanic soil is served alongside tapas that taste of Lanzarote rather than a tourist package. The Bar Salón Recreativo El Concord at 71 Calle Mástil thrives on regulars, not passers-by. San Bartolomé sits here at his own bar.
Honest reviews of local bars in Playa Honda
Life here follows the rhythm of the Canary Islands. At lunchtime, kitchens open between 2 pm and 4 pm, when the ‚menú del día‘ – a three-course meal with a drink – is served for between 10 and 14 euros. Evening service begins at 9 pm. It’s best to carry cash, as smaller establishments such as El Rincón del Abuelo at Calle Mástil 34 don’t always accept cards. The menus are in Spanish, and staff are less likely to speak German than in Puerto del Carmen. Knowing a few words of Spanish will help when ordering at the bar.
Tips for your visit
The nightlife is centred along the modern seafront, as Playa Honda does not have a historic town centre. In the late afternoon, the bars fill up as soon as locals arrive from the surrounding blocks of flats and the view from the terraces takes in the long sandy beach on the east coast. During the day, three cafés offer coffee with milk and small pastries. Among the better-known venues is Meson Pleamar at 41 Calle San Borondon, which has 328 reviews.
Lanzarote Airport is so close that travellers on stopovers stand out amongst the guests. In the evenings, the sounds of Arrecife mingle with the outdoor seating areas, for example at the San Borondon Cafeteria, which has a 4.3-star rating based on 69 reviews. Within a short distance, eight pizzerias line the bar terraces and keep the place buzzing until late into the evening.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best way to get to the bars in Playa Honda?
Playa Honda is situated on the east coast of Lanzarote and is easily accessible via the LZ-2, as well as being close to the airport and Arrecife. The six bars are spread across this compact coastal town and can all be reached on foot, from Bar Restaurante La Caleta at Avenida Playa Honda 46 right through to Calle Mástil. Free parking is usually available in the residential streets away from the beach promenade.
Are there any bars in Playa Honda with outdoor terraces or sea views?
The town stretches along a long sandy beach, so several of the six bars have outdoor seating with sea views. In particular, the bars near the beach promenade set up tables outside, offering direct views of the coast. The mild temperatures on the east coast mean the terraces are open almost all year round.
Which bars in Playa Honda do the locals frequent?
Playa Honda is a modern residential and coastal town, and the bars thrive on locals from San Bartolomé and nearby Arrecife. Smaller venues away from the beach promenade, such as El Rincón del Abuelo on Calle Mástil, attract almost exclusively a local crowd. As the airport is so close by, many commuters also pop into the town’s bars.
