Anderson Gay Pub & Show Bar has been a fixture of Puerto de la Cruz's gay scene since 1982, making it one of the longest-running gay venues on the island of Tenerife. It sits on Avenida Familia de Betancourt y Molina, the heart of the town's established gay village, and draws a mixed crowd of locals and visitors from across Europe.
The venue operates as both a pub and a show bar. On weekends, drag queens, go-go dancers, and male strippers take to the stage, while midweek nights bring cruising parties and games evenings to keep the weekly programme varied. There is a terrace in addition to the main indoor space, and the bar is known for its cocktail selection and relaxed, sociable atmosphere. Wednesday and Thursday nights are dedicated cruising events known as the Puerto de la Cruising Party.
Anderson has undergone something of a revival under current management, with regular themed events, a bookable reservations system, and an active social media presence under the name Anderson Disco by Medusa. The venue is welcoming to all and remains the go-to gay bar in the north of Tenerife.
