And the place was so nice we went back again in 2012. The owner who may be called Rosie,or may not be,is a seriously friendy Woman,the type of person that makes you realise you made the right decision going there in the first place. If I was so inclined I could very easily drink there every night such was the wecome we recieved on both occasions. What I will say though is 2 words.....Sunday Lunch......it is to die for!! When we return to Fuerte,which we will do then Rosies is a place where i'll be (Again). Good stuff!!

Wish we had discovered this place way earlier.

This relatively new bar which is just 3 minutes walk downhill from Biosfera Shopping Centre in Puerto del Carmen (tucked away at the side of da Vincie Italian restaurant) is home to the owner and powerful singer, Rory Gallagher....of "Jimmy's winning matches" fame! He packs the place out night after night with unbeatable music and fun, coming on stage around 9.45 and belts out song after song for 2 hours without pausing for breath literally! Brilliant modern music and songs...he's also joined on stage by an amazing Spanish musician, called Pedro, who plays a whole array of cord instruments, then after 12 pm they're joined by another equally brilliant musician for a rock nd roll session! Like most of the music pubs in Puerto del Carmen, there's no cover charge, drink prices are fairly reasonable but closer to Irish pub prices really...I guess it's hard to quibble with that when such good entertainment is laid on.

We visited the island bar on our recent family holiday and our only disappointed was not going…read moreearlier! The venue is ideal for live music. There's a seating area upstairs with good view of the stage, and seating downstairs by the 2 bars also. There was air conditioning and plenty of wall fans too, which is ideal. We went as a large group with the youngest being 13 and oldest 49, there were family's with much younger kids there too and everyone enjoyed themselves. We had been to plenty of live music bars on our holiday but this was the best by far. Rory starts the set off on his own playing acoustic covers and then works his way up to a full 3 piece band! They played everything from chart music, pop classics, indie and classic rock. They also integrate a few of their original songs in as well. The venue opens around 8 but the music doesn't start till later, however I would recommend getting there for 9 and finding a seat as the place is full very quickly.

It was packed (and this is very much off season, early December). Prices 6 Euros for a cocktail, 4 Euros for a non-alcoholic one: reasonable enough. The service was quick and efficient.

Its a real friendly place with great typical pub food and serves an early full english brekkie through to baguettes and hot food right through the day and into the night. Fully air conditioned, with free wifi if you have your own computer with you, or paid-for computerised access - using a couple of coin operated PC's on site (about 20mins for a euro) its a well serviced, well organised friendly set up. Very family friendly with live music most evenings - usually solo electric-acoustic artists playing all the popular faves to cover all tastes.
