Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Entertainment

  1. Alan Bique

    Easy to miss, so look for the Mahou beer sign. This place has a chill-out setting and attracts effortlessly stylish regulars.

  2. Auditorio Alfredo Kraus

    A spectacular auditorium, designed by the Catalan architect Óscar Tusquets, and striking in its geometric modernity. Constructed partly of volcanic rock, with a huge window with broad ocean views, it is the dominant feature of the southern end of Playa de las Canteras. This is one of the venues for the annual summer Jazz Festival.

  3. Bodegón Lagunetas

    One of several tapas bars on this street, this one also has a restaurant. Hang out in the bar with a caña (beer) and enjoy the fascinating sepia-photo exhibition of late-19th-century Las Palmas.

  4. Casino las Palmas

    If you feel like a flutter, don the glad rags, grab your passport and head for the Casino las Palmas within the city's prestigious Hotel Santa Catalina, built in 1904 in the heart of Parque Doramas.

  5. La Veronica

    The sort of place you would go to before swishing off for a night at the opera. It's sophisticated and stylish, with natural stone, arty giant photos and an interesting, iridescent emerald-green light behind the bar, which sounds awful but somehow works.

  7. Macabeo

    This place oozes atmosphere and style with its cavernous interior decorated with intriguing childlike drawings and shelves of dusty bottles. A second, smaller bar with dim lighting and stone walls is perfect for locked-eyes-over-cocktails time.

  8. Monopol Centre

    One great entertainment space is the Monopol Centre , which has a cinema, terrazas, bars and small clubs. Our favourite is the Lounge Bar, which doesn't get going until after midnight, but has funky DJ sounds and a spacey, industrial vibe.

  9. Pacha

    Part of the Pacha empire and a super-cool place to see and be seen, the club attracts a slightly more mature crowd than the usual bump-and-grind discos.
