Looking for a friendly, family-run watering hole with that 'Old English' country pub type feel? Well look no more. One visit to The Merry Monk in Los Cristianos and it'll feel like a familiar friend.

Established for over 19 years, James and the rest of the team have re-created a little bit of England but in the sun. Beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and incredibly welcoming, this Tenerife British bar is the regular haunt of many a visitor and resident.

The Merry Monk is open 7 days a week from 12 noon till 2am, providing a good time and a friendly meeting place for a chat, to catch some live sport or to take in the nightly entertainment.

Although the decor, drinks and comfort may feel familiar, there's at least one aspect of this friendly bar in Los Cristianos that will surprise. The Tenerife Entertainment Lounge is a mini-theatre, complete with stage, comfy terraced seating for 100 and table service drinks. This is also the place to watch all the main sporting events - including Premier League football, rugby and cricket - on a huge projector screen.

With happy hour extending a little longer than your standard 60 minutes (€1.00 pints and €1.50 spirit mixers from 12 till 8), pool table and tasty toasties served all day, The Merry Monk may well be one British bar in Tenerife that has it all.
