Nightlife in Tenerife -
there's a lot of it!



Search This Site


Nightlife in Tenerife can be divided into two distinct types.


You can go to a nightclub, where there is live entertainment or maybe a show...or you can go "clubbing", to a late night venue, featuring DJs where you can dance the night away and generally let your hair down. As they are two totally different forms of nightlife, "Clubbing" has been given a seperate category of its own.

There follows a selection of live entertainment venues in the south of the island. It's likely that I've not included every single one that exists, so, if you're a bar owner whose bar isn't featured and you would like it added, feel free to contact me, via the "feedback" button on the navigation bar.
NB: your bar must feature live entertainment.

Similarly, things change frequently in Tenerife, so, if any of the details below and on the pages they link to are now inaccurate, I let me know and I'll put it right.



NIGHTLIFE IN TENERIFE - LOS CRISTIANOS

    The one-time Taylor Made Music bar, now under new management and name, this cabaret bar was once up the hill behind Los Cristianos. It appears, now, to be no more.
