Benidorm Show Bars: Tribute Acts, Comedy and Cabaret

For decades, Benidorm has been the home of the tribute act, and nowhere else does it quite like this. On any night of the week you can catch Liam Gallagher, Take That and Coldplay tributes, comedians, drag acts, hypnotists, bands and full-scale tribute shows, all within a few minutes’ walk of each other. Here’s our guide to the show bars worth your evening, on The Strip and the streets around it.

Updated November 2026

A Benidorm show night is a holiday ritual: dress up, have dinner, then take in an act or two (or three) in the bars. It’s nothing like booking a concert back home. These are friendly bars with top-notch sound, and the sing-along grows as the night goes on.

Every venue below is open every day, with four to six acts each evening, each doing a 40 to 50-minute set. Some bars have afternoon shows too.

Grab a table (many bars have waiter service) and you’ll have the act and a small dance floor right in front of you. Entry is free as long as you buy a drink. The exception is the odd special night, such as New Year’s Eve, when a few venues go ticket-only.

Each bar has its own atmosphere, but it’s the act that makes the night, so check who’s on before you choose where to go.

Line-ups change week to week. For tonight’s acts and start times, check our Show Calendar, which we update every week.

Tribute Acts in Benidorm: where to find them

These are the tribute acts people search for most, and where they turn up on our calendar. Acts move between bars from week to week, so check the Show Calendar for exact nights and times.

Liam Gallagher

Catch the Oasis frontman at Morgan Tavern and the Western Saloon.

Coldplay

The most widely booked tribute on our calendar, appearing at Morgan Tavern, The Royal Arrow, Philippines 10, Tropical Bar, Rockerfellas, Sinatras, The Explorers Club and the Western Saloon.

Take That

Regular nights at Morgan Tavern and frequent appearances at Philippines 10, Sinatras, Tropical Bar and The Explorers Club.

Bruno Mars

Catch the Uptown Funk star at Tropical Bar, Rockerfellas, Morgan Tavern and Sinatras.

Meat Loaf

A must-see at Sinatras and always a full house when the Bat Out of Hell tribute takes to the stage. A lengthy list of classics has the crowd singing along from the get-go.

Tom Jones

Benidorm Tom has become nearly as famous as the real Tom Jones. Maybe the best lookalike on the circuit with a great voice to match. One of the acts most people visiting Benidorm want to see at least once during their stay. Catch him at Sinatras.

Other Regulars

Tribute acts are only part of the line-up.

The bars also host comedians, drag artists, hypnotists, vocalists, bands and duos, plus full tribute shows and some adult-only late shows.

Regulars to look out for include Queen Forever at Morgan Tavern, Adele and She’s Pink at Rockerfellas and Sinatras, This Is The Greatest Show and Moulin Rouge at Philippines 10, Carnaby Street at Jail Rock, Simon Patrick at Rock & Roll House, comedian Tony Scott at Rockerfellas, and comedy hypnotist Gareth Fulton and comedy drag artist Miss Levi G at The Benidorm Palladium.

The Strip

The Strip is Calle Gerona, in the heart of Levante, and it’s where Benidorm’s show bars are packed most tightly. You can walk its length in twenty minutes, so it’s easy to catch an early show in one bar and a late one in the next.

Morgan Tavern

If you only know one Benidorm show bar, it’s probably this one. Morgan Tavern on Calle Gerona has some of the town’s most-loved tributes, including Liam Gallagher, Queen Forever and Take That, alongside soul nights and the Cabeytú Brothers. It’s a loud, sing-along room, and on big-name nights the tables fill up early.

Western Saloon

Swing through the saloon doors at 39 Calle Gerona and you’re in one of The Strip’s longest-running favourites, all Wild West wood and Americana.

The music is rock and roll, country and band tributes, from Calm the Rage and Benidorm stalwart Mick the Flute to Maria G and Fireball. Regulars treat it as a meeting point, and on a full night the atmosphere is hard to beat.

Rockerfellas

Rockerfellas, at 36 Calle Gerona, is classic Benidorm cabaret: loud, crowded and great fun.

Expect Adele, Pink and Bruno Mars tributes, the Boy Band Experience, and comedian Tony Scott, a fixture of The Strip for many years now! It’s a good first stop if you’ve never done a Benidorm show night before.

The Benidorm Palladium

The Palladium regulars include comedian Gary George, comedy hypnotist Gareth Fulton and the legend that is Miss Levi G. People visit more than one night during their holiday as they love seeing such a stellar line-up. During the day, karaoke is all the rage.

Jail Rock

Jail Rock is The Strip’s Indie choice. Nights here lean to ska, reggae and Northern Soul, with David Bowie and Stone Roses tributes and the mod-styled Carnaby Street. Come here if you’d rather rock to The Specials than ABBA.

Elsewhere in Levante

Levante has dozens more show bars on the streets around The Strip. These are our picks, all a few minutes’ walk away.

Several are a little calmer (not by much though) than the bars on The Strip.

Sinatras

Despite the name, Sinatras on Calle Lepanto is more disco pub than crooner lounge. The bill runs from Lionel Richie and the exclusive Meat Loaf and Tom Jones tributes to She’s Pink and Bob Marley nights, with the young Max Fisher as Elvis and soul man Leroy Smokes helping to turn up the volume.

Tropical Bar

Tropical Bar on Avenida Doctor Severo Ochoa has the most current line-up on our calendar. Think Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Harry Styles, plus party bangers from the Vengaboys and Pitbull. It’s high energy and one of the more family-friendly bars, best for anyone who loves tunes they know every word of while throwing a few moves on the dance floor. Plus the large TV screens on the terrace are perfect for those big footy tournaments.

Rock & Roll House

Rock & Roll House, on the same street as Tropical Bar, sticks to the 50s, 60s and 70s. Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Status Quo and The Beatles are regulars, with house favourite Simon Patrick bringing The King to Benidorm. Jiving is pretty much compulsory, and it’s a firm favourite with slightly older visitors.

The Royal Arrow

The Royal Arrow sits on Avenida de Filipinas, and gives you a full show without the crush of Calle Gerona. Big-voice tributes such as Adele and Amy Winehouse share the week with The Dualers, ABBA, Justin Bieber and Eminem. It has a loyal crowd of returning visitors and shows the big footy matches, too.

Philippines 10

Across the road from The Royal Arrow, Philippines 10 is the place for a quieter, more polished night. The shows are polished, too: Michael Bublé, Elton John and Neil Diamond tributes, as well as top draw musical-theatre nights like This Is The Greatest Show and Moulin Rouge. It suits couples and anyone who’d rather listen than join in.

Part of Hotel Presidente but open to non-guests, too

The Explorers Club

The Explorers Club, a hotel bar on Calle Derramador, is styled after Victorian explorers, with cosy snugs and a proper cocktail list. You don’t need to be staying in the hotel. The singers and tributes here suit a calmer, more grown-up evening, and Matt Fisher and Kelly Griggs will always get the party going.

Plan your show night

The trick is to plan around the acts, not the bars. Pick the one or two you most want to see, note their start times, then fill the gaps with whatever’s on nearby. On big-name nights, get there before the act you’ve come for, as the best tables go first. And if there are any last minute changes by the venue, the boards outside each bar will show who’s on that night.
