Bärenhöhle, which translates to “bear cave,” is one of the well-known gay bars at Yumbo Centrum in Playa del Inglés. As the name suggests, it’s especially popular with the bear crowd and their admirers, but the atmosphere is open and welcoming to anyone looking for a relaxed drink and good company.
The bar has a large terrace, which is the main draw. From late afternoon until closing, the seats outside fill up with groups chatting over beers, cocktails, and long drinks. It’s an easy place to meet people, watch the Yumbo nightlife unfold, and start the evening at a slow pace. The music stays in the background, making it more about conversation than dancing.
Inside, the space is cozy and decorated with a playful bear theme. The service is friendly, and the vibe casual, with no dress code or pressure—just a steady flow of drinks and a loyal mix of locals and visitors. On busier nights, especially weekends and during bear or pride events, the terrace is packed, creating a lively but still laid-back scene.
For gay travelers, Bärenhöhle is an easy first stop in Yumbo. It offers a taste of Gran Canaria’s bear scene in a fun, sociable, and no-fuss setting.
