The Paper Club

The Paper Club is a live-music and DJ venue on Calle Remedios in the Vegueta district, the historic old town of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on Gran Canaria, in Spain's Canary Islands. Vegueta is the oldest part of the city, with colonial-era buildings, the cathedral and several museums, and its nightlife is more varied and less beach-oriented than that of Santa Catalina or Las Canteras. The venue programmes a combination of live bands and DJ sets, so the atmosphere changes with the event: a concert night attracts listeners who stand and watch, while a DJ night shifts toward dancing. The crowd is lively and of mixed ages, with locals in their twenties through forties alongside students, musicians and visitors drawn by the old-town location. Dress is casual to smart casual, and there is no formal code. The music combines live bands and DJs, with specific genres depending on the night's booking, so visitors interested in a particular style should check the venue's social channels for listings. The drinks programme covers beer, wine, spirits and mixed drinks, with prices of roughly EUR 6-10 (about USD 7-12) per drink, which is higher than at neighbourhood pubs but standard for a venue with performances. Cover charge varies by event: some nights are free, while ticketed concerts or special DJ bookings carry an entrance fee, so the sensible approach is to check before travelling. Opening hours typically concentrate on Thursday to Saturday nights, with live sets starting late in line with Spanish habits and the busiest period running after midnight. Table reservations may be possible for groups on bigger event nights, though bottle service is not a defining feature. Because the street is within the pedestrian-friendly old town, the venue is easy to reach on foot from Vegueta's restaurants and from La Azotea de Benito, which is nearby on the Monopol rooftop. Late taxis are available for the journey back to other districts.
