Los Cristianos brings together three of the twelve venues in this selection in one place. Havana’s Las Vistas serves up Caribbean-style drinks here, the Managua takes its name from Nicaragua, whilst the King of Judah Reggae Bar specialises in rum and dub. Canarian mojo and rum meet Caribbean recipes. The range stretches from Los Gigantes in the west to the old town of La Laguna. The 12 best cocktail bars on Tenerife lead away from the commercial beach areas to terraces such as the Terraza Jardin.

Tips for your visit
Costa Adeje is the place to be: four of the twelve bars are located here, including the Fuego Shisha Cocktail Bar with its shisha, Bar la Flaca and the Backyard Cocktail Bar. To the north, Puerto de la Cruz offers a contrast with the Anubis Tenerife, far away from the hustle and bustle of the south. The Terraza Jardin in Los Gigantes overlooks the cliffs.
Alongside these cocktail hotspots, a further 480 bars await those looking for a late night tipple. In the mornings, the 491 cafés open for a ‚barraquito‘ – layered coffee with condensed milk and liqueur. Anyone feeling peckish after a drink will find ‚papas arrugadas‘ with ‚mojo‘ in the 1,099 restaurants. During carnival season, Santa Cruz brings an extra buzz to the nights.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do cocktail bars in Tenerife cost on average?
A cocktail on Tenerife usually costs between eight and 14 euros. In Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje, where the Summum Club and the Backyard Cocktail Bar are located, prices are at the higher end of the scale. In Santa Cruz de Tenerife and more local neighbourhoods such as the old town of La Laguna, prices can start as low as six euros.
Are cocktail bars in Tenerife suitable for families with children?
Cocktail bars on Tenerife cater to an adult audience and often don’t open until the evening, which is why they’re only of limited suitability for families with children. During the day, beach bars along the Costa Adeje and in Los Cristianos serve non-alcoholic drinks and offer a more family-friendly atmosphere.
Can you get by speaking German in restaurants on Tenerife?
On Tenerife’s 1,099 restaurants, German-speaking guests will find it particularly easy to get by in the southern hotspots of Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje, as the menus are available in several languages. In restaurants in the north and in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spanish and English are the main languages used.
