What makes Anderson stand out
Puerto de la Cruz was already a refuge for Tenerife’s queer community in the 1980s and 1990s, and Anderson is one of the bars that shaped that era. The programme includes cabaret, drag shows, go-go dancers and strippers, and there is a darkroom at the back.
The bar is on the Avenida Betancourt y Molina, where the town’s gay bars are concentrated. Current information is scarce, however. We were unable to verify fixed opening hours or show dates.
Atmosphere and crowd
Anderson is a bar for men where locals and holidaymakers mix. If you enjoy the history of the scene on Tenerife, you’ll find one of the oldest venues on the island here.
A good fit if you …
- are looking for a classic show bar with scene history
- are a man looking for a bar with a darkroom
- are holidaying in the north of Tenerife
Not ideal if you …
- want to go out as a woman or a mixed group
- rely on dependable opening hours
