The Main Nightlife Centres
Although the bars and nightlife in Playa de las Americas can be found throughout the town, they are mainly centred around 5 concentrated areas, which are within easy walking distance:
These are all centrally located in Playa de las Americas. Veronicas is on the sea front with Starco's about 200 metres inland. The Patch is about 600 metres towards Los Cristianos, again about 200 metres inland. Parque de la Paz Strip is about 700 metres beyond The Patch again twards Los Cristianos
Bars and clubs usually stay open until 3 5 am. You will discover that certain bars are popular earlier on in the evening and usually close before the "night owl" bars and clubs. An example of this is Starco's which has more bars than Veronicas is busier earlier, starting around 10pm. The more club oriented Veronicas becomes busier towards 3pm.
The Patch tends to cater for a slightly older crowd.
As can be expected bar prices tend to be higher in these popular areas. Often discounts on first drinks are offered by bar touts. You may be able to lower the cost of the evening by moving from bar to bar.
Out of season many bars are fairly empty earlier on in the evening and consequently lack that essential atmosphere.
An early evening short sleep before you go out may re tune you to the much later nightlife.
