← All restaurants in Playa De Las Americas
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Playa de las Américas serves as the nightlife hub of Tenerife, a fact that becomes particularly apparent after sunset. The bar scene here is unrivalled in terms of density across the whole island: British sports bars, laid-back beach bars and various hidden gems are scattered along the beach promenade and the neighbouring side streets. A round-up of the 12 best bars in Playa de las Américas reveals that, beneath the glitzy tourist façade, there are indeed some truly excellent venues to be found.
Bars in Playa de las Américas: Prices and opening hours
Most bars open from 6 pm, which is the norm in this tourist area, whilst locals rarely visit the area. Cocktails cost between 7 and 12 euros, whilst beer costs at least 3 euros. Card payments are accepted almost everywhere, and tips of 5 to 10 per cent are expected. The area around Calle México comes particularly alive in the evenings. Those who prefer a quieter atmosphere will find it at the Puerto Colón marina, where the crowd is more diverse and the quality of the drinks is significantly higher.
Tips for your visit
Along the beach promenade at Playa de las Américas, 23 bars line the sunny south coast. In the evening, the bars fill up with guests who linger by the water after a day at the beach. Scattered amongst the bars are 17 cafés, whose terraces open out towards the sea. As this is a planned development with no established old town, the bar scene is concentrated along the waterfront and in the adjacent shopping arcades.
As Playa de las Américas belongs partly to Arona and partly to Adeje, the nightlife is spread across several areas. Some bars cater to football fans with screens, whilst others focus on live music in the open air. The low-rainfall climate means the outdoor areas remain open almost all year round.
