Zaza Bar

In the heart of the main Maspalomas gay beach in Gran Canaria, Kiosko Beach No.7 serves drinks and light snacks throughout the day. There are sun loungers and umbrellas for hire, all with the beautiful Atlantic Ocean in view. An all new, larger kiosk has been installed, giving more space for the thirsty beachgoers. To get here, there are two options; head to the Riu Palace hotel in Playa del Ingles and then walk across the dunes in about 30 minutes, or walk along the shore from the Faro de Maspalomas (lighthouse).

Bar Junior is a GayMapper favourite in the Yumbo Centre, with a very friendly welcome from the two owners, plus delicious gin and tonics. On the ground floor of the Yumbo, in the area known as the Six Pack, opposite Parrots, Bar Junior is one of the smaller bars, but tends to stay busy throughout the evening, and has a perfect location to people watch from their terrace.

Adonis is located in the so called Six Pack area on the ground floor of the Yumbo, next to Bar Junior. Tends to be popular with a German crowd, and opening at 18:30, you can stop by on you way back from the beach for a smoothie or cappucino. Later on, it gets busier, and serves a very good beer, especially if you are a fan of Kolsch from Cologne.

La Bulle is a lounge bar and disco bar with a Belgian and French touch. Nice large video screens playing pop and dance music. On the ground floor of the Yumbo Centre, it is known for great cocktails and a fun, friendly atmosphere.

The main bear bar in the Yumbo Centre, Bärenhöhle can be found on the ground floor on the plaza, next door to the large Chins Town Restaurant. A smaller bar with a cosy outdoor terrace, with a huge number of cuddly teddy bears all over the walls inside the bar. Especially popular with the German crowd, but everyone is welcome.

Zaza Bar is on the ground floor of the Yumbo Centre, with a nice terrace onto the plaza. Recommended for an early evening cocktail to sit and watch the world go by, whilst being looked after by the helpful and friendly bar staff.
