Anyone know of any good places on a night in benalmadena,?

Question

Going in 2 weeks with our 3 kids, aged 16,14 and 11, we like busy bars etc, and good karaoke for the kids

Answer 1

You should find enough lively places in the evenings to keep you all happy.

The Puerto Marina has many nice bars and clubs and is a lively place, if more expensive than elsewhere.  Well worth visiting though, just for the experience.  It really is a lovely place.

For good entertainment, Buzby's fun pub on the main coast road, opposite the Hotel Riviera, has some great acts.  If they still perform there look out for Colin Campbell and Terri Fox.  

Just up the nearby hill, Avenida Telefonica (known as Cardiac hill) will bring you to Capones music and karaoke bar, and next to it is El Elefante entertainment bar.  Both of these are on Plaza Bonanza and opposite is an entrance to The Bonanza Bar which, together with El Elefante, has two or more quality acts every night.

Just a little further up the hill, on Avenida Bonanza there are further karaoke bars in Plaza Ibensa and on the Bonanza strip, just past Angeliques restaurant.

In the same area on Avenida Gamonal you will find Bunny's, a great night of drag artists entertaining.  Booking is advisable for this one.

The Eldorado bar, opposite the Sirocco Hotel, also has nightly entertainment and karaoke.

And of course, in Arroyo, the commercial & shopping part of Benalmadena, you have Tivoli Gardens with it's rides and shows.   If you are in that area in the day time, and you all like heights, make a point of going to the top of Mount Calamorro in the cable car.   On a clear day it's wonderful for the views and there is a terrific collection of birds of prey to see, eagles, falcons, eagle owls, vultures etc. some of which give displays at various times of the day.

I'm beginning to wish I was going again as early as you, but have to wait until October for my next visit.

Have a great time.
