About this tour
When Charlie from our team ran this Las Palmas pub crawl, we started at Plazoleta de Farray in the Santa Catalina neighbourhood and hopped between three bars and a nightclub over four to five hours. It's squarely aimed at the 20–35 solo-traveller and group set looking to meet people and have a laugh—think party games, free shots on arrival at each bar, and a mix of tourists and locals. The vibe is deliberately social and loose, with the nightclub cap-off meant to keep things going past midnight.
Highlights
- Free welcome shot at each of the three bars before clubbing
- Party games like Beer Pong and Kings Cup built into the evening
- Mix of solo travellers and groups keeps the crowd unpretentious
- Nightclub entry included, no queue hassle at the end
- Local insider tips from guides familiar with Santa Catalina
- Groups of 10+ can win drinks through on-the-night competitions
- Plazoleta de Farray starting point is central and easy to find
What to expect
Charlie's night kicked off at Plazoleta de Farray, where the guide gathered everyone and handed out the first round of free shots to break the ice. From there, you're walking between three bars in Santa Catalina—each stop is 20–30 minutes, enough time for a drink and a chat without dragging. Party games happen if the group's keen, and they're low-pressure; nobody's forced into anything daft. The energy builds as the night goes on, and by the time you hit the nightclub, you've already got a solid crew around you. It feels less like herding and more like mates extending a night out.
The pacing works because the bars aren't far apart, and your guide keeps things moving without rushing. Weather in Las Palmas is usually mild, so no surprises there. By the final club, you're primed and ready—free entry means you walk straight past the queue.

Good to know
This is genuinely good for solo travellers and small groups who want to meet people without awkwardness. The free entry to the nightclub and shots at each bar add real value. The 20–35 age bracket keeps things energetic but not chaotic. Small group sizes mean you're not herded like cattle.
Drinks beyond your welcome shot are on you, and nightclub prices can sting. Four to five hours is a solid chunk of the evening, so it starts late and finishes late—not for early risers. Walking between bars is modest, but dodgy shoes or heels will annoy you. Not suitable if you're pregnant or have cardiovascular concerns. The group can lean party-focused, so if you're after a quieter chat, this might feel forced. Peak nights (Fridays, Saturdays) get busier; booking ahead helps.
Bring cash—some bars prefer it. Wear comfortable shoes. Public transport is nearby if you need to get home. Groups of 10+ unlock drink competitions. Nightclub dress codes are usually casual but smart-casual is safer.
