The Old Pal Bar

Shows and Entertainment British Bars Bars
Not all bars hit the sweet spot between lively and laid-back, but The Old Pal in Puerto Colón somehow pulls it off without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place that feels familiar from the first visit - a sunny little slice of Costa Adeje where the drinks are cold, the welcome is warm, and the laughs are never far away.

There’s no menu of gimmicks here. Just solid entertainment, a sense of community, and good old-fashioned fun. A proper local for holidaymakers, locals, expats, and travellers alike, drawn in by the regular music sessions, old-school games days and the sort of banter that can’t be scripted.

Wednesdays are games days, when Gary Barnes takes the mic with his usual dry wit. Alongside Kevin Lyons, he rolls out an afternoon of Sticky 13, Bingo, and other pub-style games. It all kicks off at 3pm and draws a good crowd, so arriving early’s no bad shout.

Then there’s the music. Thursdays and Sundays are all about live tunes. The vibe changes depending on who’s playing, but it’s always relaxed, feel-good stuff. From laid-back acoustic to punchy vocals, this is the kind of afternoon entertainment that puts you in a holiday mood whether you’re two days in or you've just arrived.
 

Beautiful bar, great service and excellent cocktails

Friendly and welcoming owners! Good atmosphere, very clean and the drinks are really good!

Amazing bar, excellent prices and a very friendly atmosphere would highly recommend!

Great Sunday afternoon with 3 live acts. Staff are fantastic highly recommend


Sunday Sessions are the standout. Again, hosted by Gary Barnes, but with a rotating list of singers like Emma Blacka and a few other surprise guests. Thursdays get a musical boost too with Emma Jensen performing 4:15–5:15.

They take bookings via Facebook or email, and on busy days you’ll be glad you did. There’s seating inside and out while you’re sipping something cold and deciding whether or not to get up and dance.

In a nutshell, The Old Pal Bar doesn’t pretend to be flashy. It’s a no-fuss, great-value spot that gets the basics right. Friendly service, chilled atmosphere, regular laughs, and music that doesn’t blast your face off. If you’re staying nearby in Costa Adeje or just looking for a bar in Puerto Colón with live music, this is the one.

So, fancy seeing what all the fuss is about? Pop by any day from 1pm to 10pm, or get in early for Wednesday’s games or Sunday’s music. Book a table via Facebook or drop them a message. Bring your mates. Or come solo and leave with a few. Either way, you’ll leave smiling.

Opening hours: 1pm – 10pm daily
