Barney's is one of the best-loved live music bars in Playa Blanca, in an open-air spot with lovely views across the bay towards the marina. Barney himself plays most nights along with guest musicians, and it's the music people come back for, though the food is worth a look too, with Canarian dishes and homemade burgers. Drinks are reasonably priced and the welcome is friendly. It gets busy, so get there early for a good seat. Read more

Bikers Beach Club, in the Papagayo centre, is a relaxed, family-friendly bar with beachside outdoor seating and live music. Despite the name it's a welcoming spot for everyone, with a menu of burgers, salads, seafood and the like, plus plenty for children such as crepes, pizzas and ice creams. Good service, fair prices and an easygoing atmosphere make it a pleasant place to eat, drink and catch some music. Read more

Just across Fariones Square from the Live Lounge, Rory's Corner Bar is the more laid-back, all-day option. It's a sports bar showing the big matches through the day, with good homemade food at fair prices, but the pull is the live sunset music every evening from around half six, when a rotating line-up of musicians plays as the day winds down. Sitting between the old town and the new, it's a good spot to start an evening, and you may not get any further. Read more

The Harp is a modern Irish bar on the Playa Blanca seafront, good for food, sport and a drink with a sea view. It's got big screens for the football and rugby, a well-kept pint of Guinness, and a solid food menu with generous portions, the burgers and the snack platters are popular. There's live music on too, the staff are friendly and the place is kept spotless. An easy all-rounder for a relaxed afternoon or evening. Read more

The Irish Viking is the oldest Irish bar in Puerto del Carmen, running since 1986, and since 2024 it's been in the hands of Rory Gallagher and his wife Cara, who also run Rory's Corner Bar and Live Lounge nearby. Just off the strip in the new town, it's a big, characterful old bar full of vintage Irish signs and pub bric-a-brac, holding up to 180 people, and it's now Rory's main gig venue. There's live music seven nights a week, often Rory himself or one of his line-up of musicians, and it shows all the sport across multiple screens, with a particular focus on the GAA. Good Guinness, fair prices and a pool table. It doesn't do food, but for a proper Irish bar with live music and sport, it's one of the best in the resort.

The Old Mill is a lively Irish bar in Playa Blanca, and a friendly spot for a drink, some food and live music. It's known for a good Irish crowd and a warm welcome, with a decent menu of fair-priced bar food, cocktails and beers, and its speciality burgers get a particular mention. There's live entertainment on, and it's an easy, sociable place to spend an evening. Read more
