← All restaurants in Playa Honda
As of: October 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. 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, the 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 have some cash to hand, as smaller establishments such as El Rincón del Abuelo at 34 Calle Mástil don’t always accept cards. The menus are in Spanish, and the staff are less likely to speak German than in Puerto del Carmen. Knowing a few words of Spanish comes in handy at the bar.
Tips for your visit
The bar scene is centred along the modern seafront, as Playa Honda does not have an old 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 pastries. Among the better-known spots 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, voices from Arrecife mix with those at the outdoor tables, 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 overlooking the sea. In particular, the establishments near the beach promenade set up tables outside, offering direct views of the coast. The mild temperatures on the east coast mean the terraces remain open almost all year round.
Which bars in Playa Honda are also frequented by locals?
Playa Honda is a modern residential and coastal resort, and the bars thrive on local residents from San Bartolomé and nearby Arrecife. Smaller venues away from the seafront promenade, such as El Rincón del Abuelo on Calle Mástil, attract almost exclusively a local crowd. Because the airport is so close by, many commuters also stop off at the town’s bars.
