The Best Clubs in Tenerife

There's nothing like a cheap holiday in Tenerife to take away the stresses and boredom of the working life. Something about the combination of sun, sand and generous cocktails make it one of my favourite locations to unwind. But when the evening falls, what are the island's best hotspots? Here's my personal top 5 night clubs in Tenerife.

Brannigans

If you're into indie and rock music, this is probably the best night club in Tenerife. It may only be small, and it can get a little overcrowded on busy nights, but if indie, chart and old school RnB is your idea of a good night, this is the only choice. The staff are friendly and helpful, there's an outside area if the heat of the dance floor gets too much, and best of all there are drinking games throughout the evening - really fun to watch, even if you don't feel like joining in!

Player's Lounge

Sometimes you just want the basics: cheap drinks and decent music, and for that Player's Lounge fits the bill perfectly. One of the cheapest night clubs in Tenerife, you can pick from the usual premium brands as well as enjoying a good selection of bottled drinks without breaking the bank. The small bar feel means that it's a good place to start the evening, and you shouldn't need to shout to be heard making it the perfect bar to get ready for an evening out. The music isn't really the main focus here, but the DJ usually plays a mix of funky house and RnB. With Lineker's just opposite, you're not too far from something a bit more pumping should you like, making Player's Lounge a great place to see where the night takes you.

Lineker's

Lineker's may sound like it's just making a play for one of England's greatest footballers for it's name, but this night club in Tenerife is actually owned by the man himself's brother! As a result, the club is predictably sports themed - if there's sports on, you can bet it will be broadcast across the venue's many screens. At night, the club becomes a great venue, playing the best tunes from the past few decades - a fact not lost on the staff, who regularly join in on the dances. On top of this, the terrace makes for a relaxing area to chill out with a game of pool, or just the fresh night air.

Leonardo's

Leonardo's is a huge bar with a great reputation for entertainment throughout the day. During daylight hours, the club plays classic TV, while at night it becomes a club hosting live music and comedians as well as DJs playing the best music from every era. The club is huge and cheap and should definitely be on everybody's list of 'must visits' while on a cheap holiday in Tenerife.

Tramp's Nightclub

This is probably the best known club in Tenerife and it really lives up to its reputation. Not a massive venue, it more than makes up for it in terms of atmosphere and popularity. While not quite up there with the clubs in Ibiza, Tramp's still manages to attract the likes of Lisa Lashes, Judge Jules and Dave Pearce. The best thing about the club (other than its long opening hours) is the variety of music you get- over the last two years an RnB room and an indie pop area have been added to traditional line-up of dance and funky house. Although there are many great clubs in Tenerife, none can compare to Tramp's.

This is just off the top of my head and there are many other great bars and clubs to spend your evenings. Look around and you'll find that the island's nightclubs have something for everyone on a cheap holiday to Tenerife.
