I made the following reply to a question posted recently on the Gazette forum about the price of drinks in Puerto del Carmen:
There's a big variety between different bars/restaurants, but this is a rough guide:
1. a bottle of beer , local and brand eg: budwieser
1. spanish pubs and resturants
Local bottle (Dorado, Tropical, etc.) is probably no more than €1.50 - €2. Add 50c or a €1 for Bud/Miller. Though Heineken is likely to be the same price as local bottles.
2. british/irish/european pubs and resturants
Local bottle probably €2.50 - €3. Again, add at least 50c or €1 for branded bottles, including Heineken. The cheapest price is probably the Brendan Behan in the Old Town, PDC (€2 for Bud/Heineken) and the Dubliner down towards the far end of the strip is one of the more expensive (€4.50 for a bottle of Heineken!).
3. clubs like ruta 66 etc
Similar to british/irish/european pubs. Though add another €1 for bars in Centro Atlantico, PDC. Expect to pay up to €5 for a bottle of Bud in some places around there.
2. a vodka and coke/orange/lemonade
1. spanish pubs and resturants
Local spirit/mixer = €3 - €4. Smirnoff/mixer probably not much more.
2. british/irish/european pubs and resturants
Huge range!!! From €3 for Smirnoff/mixer to €6 for local spirit/mixer in places.
3. clubs like ruta 66 etc
No less than €5, but more likely €6.
3. soft drinks
1. spanish pubs and resturants
€1 to €1.50
2. british/irish/european pubs and resturants
Anything between €1 and €2.50
3. clubs like ruta 66 etc
Around €2 - €2.50
Hope this helps. Please don't quote me on the above. It's just guesstimates in some places.
As a rule of thumb, add €1 to every drink when you move from a Spanish bar to an Irish/English bar (though not all!) and another €1 when you move to disco bars and clubs. There are exceptions obviously, such as the San Miguel bar in the harbour, which would be more expensive than some of the Irish/English bars around.
