Nightlife in Lanzarote
Although not as busy as the islands of Gran Canaria and Tenerife, Lanzarote’s nightlife is still quite lively too … at least in some places!
When the night falls, the island’s nightspots gain a different look with music and animation for all tastes and wallets. The good thing is that Lanzarote is definitely not ‘lager lout’ territory!
The south coast is bustling with all the nightlife action! In Puerto del Carmen you’ll find several bars. Head to Avenida de las Playas and to Centro Atlantico in particular where you can dance all night to the rhythms of commercial music and salsa. The famous promenade is packed with live-music bars, pubs and discos to suit all tastes. The Casino de Lanzarote is also located in the Avenida de las Playas. Here you can combine the emotions of trying your luck at the gambling tables and machines with an excellent dinner in a pleasant atmosphere.
Arrecife is a must-visit if you want to get to know local people’s preferences when it comes to nightlife. It is thriving with nice bars where you can have a good time in the company of people of all ages and enjoy music of all types. Most of the in-places are located in the Calle José Antonio and one of the trendiest places, La Naos, can be found in the Avenida de Naos, right opposite the port.
Costa Teguise has a good selection of restaurants, bars and pubs along Avenida Islas Canarias, near the Toca Shopping Centre. In this area don’t miss the Cariatico, a popular nightclub located at Las Maretas shopping centre, the Treble (an animated sports bar) or the Saxo (a good music bar).
In the north of the island, there is nothing much happening, but Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays do become livelier when the famous caves of Jameos del Agua turn into an unusual underground disco.
Bars are open all day every day until late hours. Discos and nightclubs usually open around 23.00 hrs and close when the last person has left (usually around 5.00 or 6.00 hrs in the morning) – most don’t charge an entrance fee.
Apart from this, there is also a wide offer in the tourist resorts’ weekly entertaining programmes, often including live music, cabaret and dance performances. You don’t have to be a guest of the hotel to attend these shows, so choose the one that best suits your needs or mood.
