The America Bar, at the end of the patch, fascinating to watch the cocktail barmen, serving 8 or 9 people at once.

The Elephants Head ......................
The Mull of Kintyre/Spud pub bar which is now the Fully Monty & Gaelic corner,it used to be packed to the rafters and Freddie (Looney tunes) was always on in a duo with Martin (Rod Stewart) R.I.P. When it first closed down it became Denis the menace 2, I also miss the original Denis the menace bar that was by Mama Rosa's, Denis was a crazy Geordie who done part of his act up the tree outside and there would often be 50 people outside watching him. Also Bonkers down on the strip run by an old mate of mine Nigel.

Merry Monk 2 (Now the Pheasant Plucker) at San Eugenio when Ricky Cola was the compere, he was the best one around.
Also the Shakespeare at Los Diamantes when Andy was the compere and everyone used to pile, in after eating in town, for the 10pm nightly quiz. It was a rubbish bar really but handy for a last drink on the way home.
I remember a couple of really bad winters when there were a lot of power cuts, Dinastia opposite was still half built and deserted so it was very dark when the power went off. Ged Bolton (Rod Stewart) was in the bar waiting to do his act one night when this happened, we all asked him to carry on and sing live without a mic or backing tapes but he refused!!
Alabamas was always a great night. Used to go every Friday in 1996 when I was working for First Choice, knew exactly what song was coming next though! The jamming sessions they had were great though. Does anyone remember the Hacienda barbecue place, had the big bucking bronco bull, I went a few times (again repping) but can't for the life of me remember where it was! Anyone remember?
From my young days down Veronicas there's Rooftops, Soul Train (starco) Bonkers, Seargent Peppers, Kangeroos, Soul Celler, Glaswegian, Paradise and The Tunnel. Then you have The Snooty fox, The Winning Post when Pauline and Craig had it, The Squinting Cat ( Garden City ) Princess Di's, Flanigans, The Red Lion, Motown Magic, Dennis The Mennis ( the patch ) and Pipers ( underneath TRG )
All these bars meant something to me over the years in Tenerife, and all hold a special place for one reason or other. :-)

Yes, I remember this bar, used to go there for pie and chips, great view and cheap, but what a miserable so and so he was.
I think it turned into the restaurant Armandos.

Alabamas was a great night out especially on sundays, anyone know what happened to the big guy think his name was James?
James was playing with the Drifters band last I saw him, always said he was one of the original Drifters. William married Carmel, the manager of Cosmos and they had a baby but that was about 10 years ago! Kenny lives in Los Abrigos still and released Hotel California that went quite high in the UK charts. I think Scott might still be around too, he wrote a song for me and came to take my photo cause he said he loved my smile lol, his flattery didn't get him anywhere!! As far as I know it's still owned by Paco Garrido who owns Costa Adeje clinic, it's such a shame that it's closed cause it was such a great night, especially when they did the "soul buffet"!
Bonkers circa 2004 when it was under Busbys/Bobbys used to play great music (oldies) and their Thunderbirds spoof was brill. Always a great atmposphere.
Was never the same when it moved over the road, or maybe I am just getting older
O'Reilly's - many a good night was spent in there.
What happened to it? It always seemed to be very successful???

AJ's Bar None , had some great nights with andy and maggs , might have to check out The Pub! when we arrive this weekend :)
The Lazy Fox, Cockney Pride,I also remember Laurel&Hardy bar opposite Churchills,they had an Irish singer called Padraig,he was great.
I always loved Chicagos, esp when it was totally open on the beach front, great food, some very good entertainment - was funny seeing one act run out as another ran in to take their place at the top of each hour

Yeah, that was the old Cockney Pride. You had to work on the steps.
I did loads of spots there years ago, usually 20 minutes to half an hour.
You stayed on till the next act got there. Sometimes as many as 6 acts a night.
A one locale bar that could seat 200............Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh memories

Well, if you really want to reminisce: Veronicas II – Pub No 1, The Barley Mo, O’Casey’s, The Sportsman’s Bar, Chaplin’s, The Mini Wimpy, Martins Bar, The Lady Hamilton, The Lord Nelson, The Essex Arms, The Jockey Bar, The Crows Nest, Mrs T’s, Bo Bo’s, El Padrino, Veronicas I & III – The Britannia, The Copper Kettle, Kabuga,
Sgt. Peppers, The **** Turpin, Coconut Grove, The Caledonian, The Robin Hood, The Horseshoe, & Scotch Corner.
In Shopping Americas: Flannigan’s, John L. Gardeners Ringside Bar, The Lady Di and The Red Lion.
And in Los C. The John Bull, Churchill’s and The Thomas a Beckett.
Those were the days!
I may be going back a bit far in time but I remember the Merry England in Puerto de la Cruz serving the best Double Diamond draught. I remember El Frigata being called The Frigate.
This was in the days before the South airport!
It was also the year that Clarksons the tour operator went bust and left me stranded.
Any idea what year it was?

It was 1974.:)
Hammonicaman,
1974 sounds about right.
Well done!
In those days there were dozens of English bars in Puerto. I doubt if there are half a dozen now.
Onwards and upwards no good getting depressed about it.

Manhattons near La Pinta, great acts, great Motown music, miss it so much when i go on my holidays, does anyone know why it closed etc???:spin:
at a guess i would say.... lack of punters.... rentals on the bar to high ... landlords not giving 2 hoots and increasing the said rents ....
recipe for closure ....

Used to love Bonkers. First went there in about 93, when Scottie and Scouse Joey used to DJ in there. Cracking night out, great music and atmosphere and the Thunderbirds and Rolf Harris etc shows they used to do were a scream.
Cracking bar in the Veronicas was the Lord Nelson as well. Always used to start the night in there. Mick that owned it was a star
Chicagos & Summer Nights in Los Cris and The Cheshire Cat in Torviscas. :(

Just remembered another place we used to frequent.
Anyone remember Smithy's? Was down the stairs in the CC Salytien from what I can remember. Was pretty much a dump, but you could get a litre of spirit and mixer for 500 peseta's ;) Was so strong, the bottom of the jug used to be clear, and you could hardly taste the mixer lol.
Couple of other favourites were The George And Dragon, underneath the Parque De La Paz when Dave Tappin was the compere there, The Star Bar opposite the Los Hibiscos when Dave Tappin first moved there (went on some mammoth booze cruises organised by the staff in there).
Also for a restaurant/bar, the Travellers Rest, which was next door to the original Wigan Pier, had excellent food, and had some almighty sessions in there with the owners until 4ish in the morning :crazy:

I've read that The Central Station on the patch had closed will be a miss when we come out in 2 weeks time.
Real shame it didn't work out for them, great people we had some great times in there.
Hope there new bar works out better.
That is a shame, I thought it was a really nice bar - take away pizzas were good too!
they (Shona & Ron) now running a bar in Callao Salvaje...called The Red Lion..
go and see them ....473 Bus from Las Americas....

I miss all the bars that were selling for a Euro a pint!!! Can't understand why they go out of business:cry:cus it aint sustainable, mind you i never pay more than 1.50 euro a pint when over, and they all seem to be able to stay open:dontknow:
remember Thatchers bar in Puerto we had many goods night being entertained by Phil.
My favourite was The Tavern ..probably the busiest bar in Puerto ...run by Ella and Neil from Edinburgh. their hospitality was second to none. sadly no longer with us. I also remember the frigate pre frigata days.
great memories
we met a great bunch of lads a few years ago on the plane coming over and we arranged to meet in gangsters for a drink, but when we found it it had been closed:tongue:

Brewers Droop when it was run by the Prices. Price, senior, in a Nazi German uniform goose stepping across the stage in front of Freddie Kay & Dave Dean - best entertainment on the island.

I have registered with Tenerife Forum to try and remember my youth down the Veronicas bars in the early 1990s! I've come across bar names that I can't recall. Can anyone remember where they were?
Coconut Grove...…?
Sgt Peppers...…….upstairs next to Mrs Ts, I think?
The **** Turpin...…….underneath Pluttos?
The Cally Bar...……….underneath Pluttos?
Chaplins Bar...…….veronicas 2?
Martins Bar...……..??
Any help or photos would be great :))
Kangaroo, Veronicas early/mid 90's. Used to watch our friends Outrun there. Steve is back living on the island but doing cruises all around the world and his wife Mel still doing the Abba tribute. God, I spent a good few hours there every time I was over and didn't see much sun - those were the days. Going for breakfast on way home just before 8am in Burger King opposite as it closed at 8am!
