About this place Instinto

Instinto is a gay bar on Calle General Vives 65, a block from Parque de Santa Catalina and a few minutes from Las Canteras beach. Its own website calls it a gay-friendly bar open to everyone and gives hours of 14:00 to 02:00 every day, with drag shows on Wednesday and Thursday from 23:00. It is the best-documented gay venue in the city, listed by QLIST and the Canary Islands tourism site. Google reviews are mixed: several call it a good LGBTQ+ bar with friendly staff, while one in June 2026 found a mostly straight crowd and no show. Pick a drag night.
