The Brothers Bar has garnered 342 reviews and a 4.8-star rating, whilst the Same1 bar on Av. Melchor Luz has racked up as many as 2,308 reviews. Unlike the southern part of the island, this north-coast town focuses less on commercial party entertainment. The 12 best bars in Puerto de la Cruz range from traditional Canary Islands bars to rooftop venues. Santo Ritual and Elements Cocktail Bar demonstrate just how closely down-to-earth charm and the art of cocktail-making go hand in hand here.
Bars in Puerto de la Cruz: What you need to know
Local bars usually don’t get going until after 9 pm; around 6 pm, they’re mainly frequented by tourists. In the narrow streets behind the waterfront, tapas are cheap, and a beer there usually costs less than two euros. Smaller venues in La Ranilla, such as Bar Del Sheriff on Calle Blanco, often accept cash only. During the peak season around Christmas and Easter, space becomes scarce even in renowned venues such as the Vértigo Pool Club & Lounge on Calle Eucaliptus.
Tips for your visit
Around the Plaza del Charco, 59 bars line the narrow alleyways of the old fishing quarter. The Color Cafe is right on the square; in the evenings, the tables beneath the laurel trees fill up, and Canarian wine from the Orotava Valley is served to the guests. In the smaller establishments in the old town, the bar is often right by the entrance, behind which fresh fish from the harbour area is prepared.
Cafés complete the picture with 70 venues, including the Cafetería Centro on Ctra. General. The Roof Burger Bar & Chillout Cocktails on C. Agustín de Betancourt offers views of the Atlantic surf from above. The historic setting on the north coast is evident in the panelled interiors of some bars near the old harbour, whilst banana trees stand here and there in the backyards.
