Mardi Gras

This bar is ok if your not looking for a nice cocktail and friendly service.some bar staff are rude and not suited for a people facing role.some of the other restaurants in the area served better drinks also,one member of staff working at this bar was swearing at a customer over a simple misinterpretation. Toilets are smelly too.

Had a lovely experience at Mardi Gras! The prices are very reasonable, and the food was good, especially the breakfast, which was a particular highlight. It’s great to find somewhere that offers good-quality food at affordable prices. A lovely spot for a visit, and somewhere I’d happily visit again. Would definitely recommend!

Have been to Mardi Gras a few times over the years, enjoyed the Sunday quiz, good staff, drinks are reasonably priced. The only concern for me was the presence of the TV showing GB news. It is a bit pedantic on my behalf but I can't understand why a gay bar would show GB news, a far right news channel that supports the Reform party, the same party that would happily take rights away from gay people. Hopefully they may chamge their minds and the channel. There are lots of news channels around, maybe pick a different one, one that does support your way of life.

My friend and I spent 10 wonderful evenings in this lovely bar, and every time we sat at the front, watching the world go by. This place really is the heart of the Yumbo Centre. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff and manager are absolutely amazing — so friendly, welcoming and always making you feel at home. We had such a lovely time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting. ❤️🍹

Firstly I would like to say that the bar itself, drinks, staff etc are lovely and nothing to complain about..... However, the toilet situation is a different issue!! I understand 'all inclusive' being a lesbian myself, however, queuing behind 5 men for the only 'Ladies' sit down toilet whilst the men's trough is a joke!! So after querying it and being told it's 'unisex' toilets, I used the 'what used to be the men's trough' and pug toilet roll in the trough to be told this is not allowed??!?!? So how can I queue with men for the ladies toilet but cannot use the men's, but the men can use whatever ad it's unisex?!? Come on, sort this out!!

Superb! A fabulous spot in the Yumbo center! We stayed a week in Grand Canaria near the Yumbo center. We had food and drinks at this spot 3 days during our stay. Excellent music, fabulous atmosphere, great value for drinks and food. The service is supreme! Specifically, our server every day we were there was a young man named DALE. Attentive, friendly, welcoming, and prompt. This establishment left a positive impression on us, we will certainly return when visiting Grand Canaria. A fabulous experience!

Me and my partner were on holiday September 2025 in Gran Canaria and drank here a few times. It’s right in The Yumbo and is popular with a great atmosphere. Staff are friendly and the place is a fun bar. I think it’s got links to the Mardi Gras in Blackpool U.K. which we visit often and have drank at a few times also. Good bar!

Came here for a drink and I will be coming back here next year for more as the staff were great and great prices during happy hour.

Over our recent trips to Gran Canaria and the Yumbo Centre, we never visited Mardi Gras, mainly because of our experience with the bar of the same name in Blackpool. It just goes to show that you should never judge a book by its cover. While walking past, we noticed a quiz being advertised, hosted by a drag queen. Let's be honest, you can’t beat a good afternoon with a queen! So my partner and I decided to give the bar a try. I'm so glad we did. We had an absolutely fantastic afternoon (even though we didn’t win the quiz!). Miss Beverley Hills was incredible – her wit, humour, and stage presence had us laughing from start to finish. The drink prices were very reasonable, probably among the cheapest in the Yumbo Centre. They also serve lovely food, which was equally well priced. To top it all off, Miss Beverley came and joined us for a drink after the quiz. She was so friendly and it was great chatting with her about her time in Gran Canaria. We’ll definitely be returning on our next visit. Highly recommended!.

Always very welcoming, food is very good, cant beat drinks prices and regardless of how busy they are,service always pretty quick, Great place to eat, drink & watch the world go by with very nice staff. Our go to place in GC
