Fabulous, friendly and fun bar. Brilliant tribute acts and one heck of a DJ! Karaoke is all good fun, and you can find some really good singers every night! Definitely coming back, can't recommend it enough!! Thanks to all of mctavishes staff, couldn't have been better. Love from Amy's krew, the bournmuff girls!

Great atmosphere, friendly bar staff, Jon is an amazing DJ, decent Elvis impersonator (Benidorm’s is better)

Breakfast and a pint 1st morning. Went afternoons and some evenings too. 23 of us were well looked after, by the staff. Good for beer/food and atmosphere. Can't fault it!

On behalf of me and my family I would like to thank all the staff for their service during our holiday and the best breakfast on the island also thanks for letting me top up my mobility scooter I would not’ve got back up that hill otherwise, top nights as well .

Came back after 5years,and forgot how brilliant this man is. Jon is a lovely kind gold hearted man and hilarious and he mucks in with everybody. Brilliant singers and the karaoke is fantastic too. Definitely another trip is needed.

Ein super Pub mit toller Unterhaltung!!! Da muss man hin!!!

One of the best bars in Santa Ponsa

Fantastic place that's been here as long as I have been going to santa ponsa Full Scottish breakfast with squre sausage potato scone and can of irn bru is just what you need to shift the hang from the night before and set you up for the day. As long as this place is here we will keep coming back Don't Change mctavish 👍

Great pub with good service and entertainment, very amusing,, especially watching people think they can sing karaoke! Loved it.

Fantastic place , loved the fact they had a photo history on their wall, you can tell it's been family run for a few decades. Great for Live music & karaoke 🎤. I'd imagine good for live sport also with all the screens they have also.

What a place atmosphere is brilliant bar staff are amazing at remembering what drinks we ordered and good entertainment.

This bar is fantastic. Will had lovely food. Drinks. And Brillant nights entertainment tribute bands such as abba Elton John ect. Bar staff very friendly. Special thanks to dj Jon who is just lovely guy. I even got a chance to sing few songs. Can't wait to return again in Oct..

I absolutely loved it here! I visited on my birthday, and the staff really made a fuss of me it was lovely! Staff are wonderful polite and very hard working, entertainment was fantastic we had a fantastic night! Thank you ❤️

What fab night's we had during our holiday. Was always the last one's to leave. The best breakfast in town.

It's fantastic place to see tribute groups each night also all football live on TV staff are brilliant

Best bar In santa ponsa! We spent most nights here enjoying the tribute acts and karaoke. Jon is a fantastic dj/karaoke host, he interacts well with the customers and is highly amusing 😂 The bar staff are friendly and welcoming, the drinks are a good price and you never have to wait long to get served. Will definitely be revisiting next time we are in santa ponsa.

Fantastic bar and staff! Entertainment is by far the best I’ve experienced on holiday so far in my lifetime (Jon could have everyone dancing and singing at a funeral). Drinks are that cheap you would be daft not to go there.

Great place to eat, have a drink, and enjoy a lovely time. It was so good that we went three times and I always ordered something different to eat and was delicious and they have good prices.

Affordable booze. Great live entertainment. Alot of Brits, Scotts, Irish & Welsh here.

Hey John..Kevin here from downpatrick...had a blast in your place.... finished the last night of our stay doing the worst Michael Jackson karaoke ever but I feckin loved it. Your an awesome entertainer with the best friendly staff ....loved it... hopefully get back soon.. thanks for a great time ! Until the next time..

Fun random Irish bar in town. They have a cover band every night, and karaoke. Tonight is Abba night, and we are definitely the youngest here (mid 30’a), but still a fun vibe. Decently priced drinks.

Excellent pub!! Personnel au top,ambiance au top, guinesses au top, on reviendra !!!

Nicest breakfast in santa ponsa..staff are very welcoming..everything is clean and spotless.highly recommend here to everyone

Super leuke Pub, wat een gezelligheid! Live muziek en Karaoke. Absoluut een bezoekje waard.

Great Scottish bar with Tenants lager on tap, friendly staff.

Brilliant place D.Jon....looked after my daughter 21 years ago when she worked in santa ponsa he's still there cheers jon

Great ABBA we're excellent. DJ Jon great host x

A great place to come for entertainment,, really good staff..

Great atmosphere and excellent food and drinks and brilliant staff

Great place with very friendly staff.only called in daytime but there is entertainment on every night.met some really nice people here.

Lovely English breakfast you could have small or large both was lovely not driping in grease like some. Had mugs of tea with it 😋

Had a lovely full Scottish breakfast here, reasonably priced,good quality. Then a couple of days later I had tasty,filling beef chilli and chips then a nice cake and ice cream. Absolutely great value and attentive staff.

Great place good entertainment, staff working hard

Such great fun in this bar! Dj Jon does the best job at getting the crowd involved! If I visit Santa Ponsa again, this place will be one of my first stops on a night out!

Absolutely brilliant, service food through out the day, karaoke, and live bands

Didn’t have food but it did look good. Popped in for a few drinks every afternoon. great service staff are excellent.

Had a hoot. Grandson glued coins to the pavement. Gave us great entertainment. All day long since trap. Good drinks. Friendly atmosphere. Had food in the past. You need to visit

Brilliant place to go. Always busy and good music. It's home away from home. Pay a visit. The only one negative is the owner seems to close the bar at short notice and doesn't call last drinks. Not fair on the customer's

Always a brilliant night here, fantastic atmosphere and the staff are extremely helpful and very welcoming. I have some brilliant axon every night of the week the most popular live music venue Bar in Santa Ponsa. Definitely don’t pass this one by!

I didn't have food hence 1 star. I only visited once on my final night and I wished I'd gone there before as it was the best pub I'd been in for atmosphere and entertainment.

Gets busy later on but has a good atmosphere on the main strip.

First night in this pub this evening. Made to feel so welcome. The band was fantastic and entertaining. A big hands up to the violin player. They loved my partner and encouraged to do the karaoke 🎤. It was a brilliant night. The manager and all the staff were so friendly and down to earth. Definitely worth a visit. We also made some friends too.We'll be back.

Fantastic atmosphere, excellent compare,great bar staff. Brilliant acts

Great bar. Popped in every night of holiday for varying amounts of time. Friendly place, had lots of chats with other visitors especially outside having a smoke! Good atmosphere and varied tribute acts (mind you they do come back every year in the main) .Thoroughly recommend. Breakfasts are also excellent!

Great bar!!! Love the place!! But there has always been a problem with the blonde one. I have visited many years. Tonight i got two drinks and got charged €115 imagine if i was intoxicated and didn't know.. she would of still put it through. It wasnt until i said about it. Just be careful. But i love this place!!

Just home yesterday from 2 weeks in santa ponsa and we came across this place going for a walk and stopped for a water,right away we was served and girl who served us was so friendly, while there we looked at food being took out and thought it looked lovely.to fast forward this we went there every morning for breakfast/ lunch probably 10 out of of 14 day stay as the food is just beautiful,hot very tasty and could tell the chef took pride in her job to make sure folk enjoyed their food.lovely ladies who took most of our orders ( Katie & evie) where just amazing and even though they was busy they always took time to speak to us just a credit to this place.i can honestly say every member of staff ( also lovely lady sorry can't mind her name but pregnant) worked so hard to make sure all customers was attended to.if you want good food amazing staff and fantastic prices then this is the place to go and I'll definitely be back there not just for food but to see the amazing staff.ps I'll post a photo of our kitten xxx

Ichwar dort mit meinen beiden Kindern zum Lunch. Für mich die beste Kneipe und das beste Restaurant in Santa Ponsa. Es gibt eine Auswahl an Menüs für Kinder. Die Burger sind hausgemacht und die Stimmung ist super. Wir werden die Kneipe in Deutschland weiterempfehlen.

The only bar worth going to in Santa Ponsa. (In my opinion) Cannot speak more highly of the staff and the energy they bring. They know how to bring a vibe and great people together. I have been coming here with my dad and mum for the last 15 years and can’t sing its praises enough. Highlights for me: ABBA night on Monday The Tattie scone Karaoke

John Johnson

Great place good entertainment, staff working hard

Joanne Devine

Food is excellent, entertainment is excellent, different live acts every night followed by dj Jon on karaoke. Excellent place to go

Quite during the day with a lovely cafe attached. Full range of drinks tv screens and top evening entertainment.

We had 2 breakfasts here whilst away on a family holiday (4 adults 2boys). The food was spot on, very tasty a good portion size and a very well priced. The location is good, close to numerous shops and hotels and just far enough from the beach front that it’s not too busy whilst you eat with plenty of space for eating inside or out. Definitely recommend anyone who wants a good full English!

Great friendly staff made us feel very welcome. The two evenings we visited. Had great fun the evening host Jon is amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻, must have a photographic memory as he is able to remember everyone by name and where they come from. Dance floor in front of stage was lively both times 😀 We didnt eat so cannot review the food but am sure it will also be great

Awesome pub most of the time, depends on the night as sometimes the people are a bit older and more stationary instead of living the party. Overal would highly recommend. Only downside is a Guy called John who “hosts” the karaoke stage, bit unpleasant/grumpy.

Great bar, very busy at times, get there early for a table. Good entertainment

We ordered two takeaway sandwiches with chips from McTavishes in Santa Ponsa, and we were really impressed! The bread was lovely and fresh, and the fillings were packed with flavour—generous portions too. Everything tasted homemade and well-prepared. The chips were great as well, hot and crispy. Staff were friendly and welcoming, even for a quick takeaway. Would definitely recommend and will be back for sure.

Fantastic bar, with lots of friendly staff and locals. I may or may not have partaken in some Saturday night karaoke, which I apologize to everyone who had to go through it 😳😀

Solo voy a puntuar por el karaoke nocturno. ¡Buenísimo! No pudimos reirnos más con todo el atrezzo que sacaba el compañero que lo dirigía, y en general un ambiente buenísimo (obviamente todo "guiris" pero de verdad muchas risas). ¡Para repetir!

Local de buen ambiente en santa ponsa

The best place for live entertainment and karaoke in Santa Ponsa. Just be mindful that they tend to close the bar without everyone knowing. They don't announce last orders, just flash the lights, not much help if your sat outside, don't always notice if your sat inside. A bugbare of mine every year as the closing time is not consistent every night. Also found bar staff can be a bit prickly towards end of season. However still my favourite place.

We came to see elvis as we heard he was brilliant as my 8 year old loves elvis. But all the best songs he rushed in a little Medley. Thus resulting in a pretty unhappy child. It was absolutely packed too which was uncomfortable

At first had a slight problem understandable thought as so much red tape they have to get through . However the drinks are reasonable priced and Jon the entertainer is a good host . Karaoke system was great made you sound a lot better than you are.

Had Breakfast here twice... reasonable price and Quality..... Decent Drinks and Prices. Chilled in the Day... lively at Nights.

Had a lovley breakfast here. Eggs and sausages where stunning just bacon was a bit to greasy hence 4* . Staff where lovley and service was quick. Nice place would visit again.

Went here for something to eat as it had square sausage but when we asked for it they didn't have any so was disappointed. If we knew they never had any to be honest we would have ate somewhere else. I had a small breakfast with a tattie scone which i enjoyed and the coffee was good to. We have been here a couple of nights and really enjoyed the entertainment. The bar staff are nice and friendly. So if you want a drink and entertainment i would recommend.

The best English breakfast on the strip, don’t bother going anywhere else. Good price, comes out hot and you can add extras if you want to Service is brilliant

Very good but could be better if the dj stopped talking over the music thinking he is funny. Would go back if they stopped the ( middle aged drunks who can't hold there beer ) from going in

Went in to watch the scotland game and thenpkace was amazing good beer and good patter staff happy and helpful .

Great place,didn't try food but looks ok

Watches the final day of the Ryder Cup here. Atmosphere was brilliant.

Didn’t have food so don’t know about that, went for a few drinks when the Ska / Reggae tribute was on. Guy was a great singer and good banter, music from the Jam, UB40, and lots of other good stuff, good crowd in when we were there, the singer can fair knock back the Brandy’s mind you, but doesn’t seem to affect his performance on stage!

Nice breakfast with friendly staff. Table service for drinks outside until 17:00 when the bar opens. Couple of big screens outside for the sport. Good selection of entertainment acts at night followed by karaoke with DJ Jon.

As the name might suggest, this places excels at food and prices to suit UK visitors. And, yes, the lovely waitresses wear kilts and have lovely smiles and personalities. Good food and drink, served in the sun, too. What's not to like? All those customers seemed to be liking it, too.

Friendly place, very laid back. If you want a drink order one, if not just sit back & enjoy the sun or entertainment. No wonder people go back here day after day, owners & staff make this place regardless of entertainment (which is good) 👍

Essen war etwas gewürzlos gekocht. Ist wie immer Geschmackssache, aber der Burger für 8€ war gut. Die Bolognese eher nicht so prall...

No está mal, buen precio, mucho extranjero

Went for breakfast one day in April. My breakfast sandwich was fine but husband and kids breakfast weren't good. Sausages and bacon tasted microwaved and were like plastic. Nice staff is it's saving grace...

This pub offers live music, entertainment and Karaoke. It appears the crowd know each other and are probably regulars for their stay, you would need to be in early to get a good seat. All other seats are high stools and tables and crowded together. The crowd appear to be really having a good time. Just not tor me.

Came here twice. They got our order wrong on both occasions. On the second time coming here there was a hair in the food. Disgusting. Mentioned it to the waitress and got a response of "oh ok". Would not recommend or come back here. Mentioned it again to a second waitress and although she took the item off of the bill, she good as called me a liar before hand. Terrible experience, terrible food & terrible staff.

Wir kamen rein und wollten uns erst ins Flair reinfühlen. Nach keinen 10min kam ein Mitarbeiter zu uns und hat uns in einer sehr aggressiven Art und Weise aufgefordert, das Lokal zu verlassen wenn wir nichts trinken. Wir kamen noch garnicht dazu, uns über Getränke gedanken zu machen. Ich frage mich, was die Idee dahinter war und weshalb er SO aggressiv aufgepusht war. Schade..

We’ve been coming here for years, it has certainly changed, A LOT.. The Main Act appeared to be on Drugs!! But it was DJ JON paying Very Weird Attention to the Women & Young Girls in particular, Very weird Indeed! We will never return, Stay Clear of this weird place,

A friend was asked to come and take her daughter, who is an adult with additional support needs out of the bar. She was being fully watched by her mum and gran from a little distance whilst also allowing her a little independece. She enjoys music and was engrossed in the singing and focus on the artist. She was doing no harm. Shocking way to treat anyone. Stay clear.

Went in for something to to eat and drink and got ignored by the barman. Needless to say I will never be back

I thought about holding off on this review but I see that others have had the same experience. This is a great bar with fabulous djs and entertainment. Sadly the bar staff see fit to steal €3 or €4 euros from you if you have had one too many. I bought every round (and we had a few) before asking my wife to go up and get our drinks while I went to the gents. I knew I gave her €20 and she came back with shrapnel instead of €10. When I tried to explain this to the woman at the bar, she suggested that my wife had ordered shots that I didn't know about. After having a few great hours of fun in there - we left immediately. There are much cheaper bars with much less insulting staff in this area. BEWARE!!! ******The entertainment were amazing and this review is purely about the theft at the bar and the dreadful way it wad dealt with******

Los camareros unos mal educados, les daba "pereza" atendernos no querian ni salir a la terraza, hablandonos y tratandonos fatal, pésimo servicio, no lo recomiendo para nada
