The Kitchen Tapas & Cocktail Bar is a tapas and cocktail venue at Calle Juan Manuel Durán González 20 in the Guanarteme district of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on Gran Canaria in Spain's Canary Islands. Guanarteme lies just inland from Las Canteras beach, and the bar caters to an evening crowd of residents and visitors. The cuisine is tapas, with no recorded Michelin status or named chef, and the format pairs small shared plates with a cocktail list. Named dishes include croquetas, the creamy fried croquettes found throughout Spain, plus rotating tapas intended for sharing; cocktails are the other main attraction, and a bar of this kind typically offers classics and house variations. The dining room character is social and informal, centred on evenings, with a moderate to lively noise level that increases later at night and on weekends. There is no known dress code beyond smart-casual or beachwear-friendly attire. Prices are about EUR 15-30 per person (about USD 17-35), depending on how many tapas and drinks are ordered; cocktails add to the total, so a dinner of tapas and two drinks sits at the upper end. Service is typically in the evening, and opening days and hours should be confirmed locally because small bars often close on one weekday. Walk-in seating is usual, but groups and weekend evenings may be busy, and calling ahead is sensible. The bar suits travellers who want an easy evening meal after the beach, preferring grazing across several plates instead of a single main course, and it is within walking distance of the Las Canteras promenade and its many cafes.
