Mojo Club (visit them on Facebook)
The place to be for live concerts and party til morning. Great live-acts, no entree, fair prices. Be there not before 1 a.m – at this the party just gets started. Located just behind Auditorio Kraus on Square "Plaza de la Musica".
Party from Tuesday til Sunday. Gets crowdy starting from 2 a.m. – great place to be during the week if you cant wait the weekend to party Las Palmas. International crowd – lots of Erasmus students. Live-acts. Entrace free but with up to 3 drinks included – good price. Just take a taxi to get there.
Very special, small bar with live-music every day! Very nice, dark atmosphere. Perfect to listen to local artists – but we won´t recommend you staying there all night – theres is much more to see. Prices ok. No entrance. Located in the old-town. Take a taxi.
Diferente live music in the old town. At the end of shopping street Calle Mayor de Triana. Take a taxi to get there. You pay entrance and drinks are not as cheap as usual in other bars of Las Palmas.
Bars
Very, very interesting new bar in the old-town. Live acts, theatre and discussions (many times about how to protect environment). Very alternative. Good and natural food for fantastic prices! Very nice and young owners. We recommend the natural brewed beer, german beer and local food from Gran Canaria. Very friendly an open-minded locals. Check out current events here.
