Lanzarote: MHT – Music Hall Tavern – Comedy Drag Dinner Show

Expect glitter, big voices, and a generous helping of cheeky comedy. Lanzarote’s Music Hall Tavern combines a three-course dinner with live singing, dance routines, drag comedy, and plenty of audience-friendly fun. The full evening runs from about 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM, making it a substantial night out rather than a quick cabaret stop.

I especially like the live vocals and polished costumes, along with the friendly meet and greet when you arrive. The food is included, table service continues through the show, and a short interval gives you time to refresh your drinks. The main drawback is practical: the venue is upstairs, with 17 steps and no lift, and some tables can feel tightly packed.

Key points to know before booking

• A four-hour English-language show: The evening includes a pre-show, dinner, two main performance sections, and a 15-minute interval.
• The 2025 production brings new material: Expect fresh routines, updated costumes, LED screen projections, and familiar singalong numbers.
• Dinner is part of the ticket: Vegetable soup, turkey roast dinner, and Viennetta ice cream are the standard menu.
• Drinks cost extra: You can order throughout the show with table service, or consider an all-inclusive drinks upgrade if offered at booking.
• The venue is in Puerto del Carmen: Music Hall Tavern is on the first floor of Centro Commercial La Peñita, with no lift.
• Strong value for a full evening: Tickets start at €44 for adults and €34 for children, with transport costing an additional €10 when available.

What kind of night is Music Hall Tavern?

Music Hall Tavern is built for easy holiday fun. You do not need to know much about drag performance before arriving, and you do not need to dress up or prepare for a serious theatre evening. The format is broad, bright, and accessible, with jokes, music, costumes, dancing, and crowd interaction folded into one package.

The show is performed entirely in English. That matters in Lanzarote, where many evening entertainment options are aimed at an international audience. If you are comfortable with English comedy and singalong songs, you should be able to follow the whole evening without trouble.

The tone is family-friendly in the general sense, but it is not completely innocent. The comedy can be raunchy and includes innuendo. It is described as slightly rude rather than vulgar, so parents should use their own judgment for younger children.

The production is also more polished than a casual bar cabaret. Live vocals, choreographed dance routines, theatrical costumes, and LED screen projections give the performers a proper stage setting. The screens are used to support individual acts and blend live performance with visual effects.

Arriving at Centro Commercial La Peñita

The Lanzarote venue is at Music Hall Tavern, on the first floor of Centro Commercial La Peñita on Avenida de las Playas in Puerto del Carmen. Show your voucher at reception when you arrive. The activity ends at the same location, so you are not left searching for a different exit or pickup point after the performance.

The stairs are important to plan around. There are 17 steps to the first floor and no lift. If you are bringing a wheelchair, pram, or anyone with a medical condition, contact the venue before booking and explain what assistance may be needed. The venue also asks you to share dietary requirements and special celebrations in advance.

If you book optional transport, look for a bus with an MHT sign in the front windscreen. Be at the pickup point 10 minutes early. The driver waits no more than five minutes after the scheduled pickup time, so this is not the moment for a relaxed holiday approach to the clock.

Transport is not available from Puerto del Carmen or Tenerife North. Since the venue itself is in Puerto del Carmen, many people will need to arrange their own way there. Check the pickup list carefully before paying the extra €10 supplement.

The welcome, photographs, and pre-show

The evening starts before the main performance. You meet members of the cast, and a photograph may be taken as part of the welcome. A complimentary photo has been included for some bookings, which makes a pleasant keepsake from the night.

The pre-show warms up the room before dinner and the main production. This early section is useful because it gets the audience involved without asking you to wait quietly for a formal curtain time. Expect jokes, introductions, and the first taste of the cast’s comic style.

The room is designed for social entertainment rather than hushed theatre. You may find it easy to chat with people at nearby tables and join in with the singalong atmosphere. On the other hand, the seating can feel close together, especially when dinner is being served. If you prefer lots of personal space, this is worth keeping in mind.

Staff play a large part in the evening. The service is fast and cheerful, with the meal brought out during the show schedule rather than treated as a separate restaurant sitting. That keeps the night moving, though it also means the room can feel busy while plates are being cleared and drinks are being delivered.

What is served at the three-course dinner?

The standard dinner is simple holiday fare:

• Vegetable soup to start
• Turkey roast dinner with roast and mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and gravy
• Viennetta ice cream for dessert

This is not a gourmet tasting menu, and it should not be judged as one. Its value is convenience. You receive a hot, filling meal without having to leave the show or find a restaurant afterward.

The turkey dinner suits the traditional British holiday entertainment style of the venue. Reports on the food are mostly positive, with particular praise for hot service and generous timing. Still, food quality can be a personal matter. One part of the feedback found the meal only acceptable, while other comments described it as excellent and delicious.

Children can have the same adult meal or choose chicken nuggets. Vegetarians can request a bean-based burger with potatoes and vegetables. Dietary requirements can be accommodated, but you need to tell the provider ahead of time rather than wait until you sit down.

If you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or another special occasion, let the venue know. The cast and staff can then be aware of it, although the exact celebration arrangements are not specified.

The main show comes in two parts

After the pre-show and dinner service, the full production takes over. It is split into two parts with a 15-minute interval. That structure is helpful during a long four-hour evening. You get a natural chance to stretch your legs, use the facilities, and order another drink before the final section.

The main ingredients are live singing, dance routines, drag comedy, glittering costumes, and familiar singalong material. The cast’s vocal ability receives especially strong praise, and the performers are not presented as comedians alone. The singing and dancing are central to the show.

The comedy is broad and energetic. Some routines use innuendo, and the humor can be a little cheeky, but the overall feel is intended to be good-natured rather than offensive. You will probably get the most from it if you enjoy audience participation and do not mind being part of a lively room.

The newer production adds LED screens and refreshed routines while keeping the classic MHT flavor. That is a useful balance for returning fans. The show can feel familiar enough to retain its singalong identity, but updated enough to avoid being exactly the same night after night.

A small caution: four hours is a long entertainment block. One person could find the evening slightly too long, even while enjoying the performance. If your ideal holiday evening is a quick meal followed by a quiet drink, this is not the right fit. If you like a packed program, the length is part of the value.

Drinks, table service, and the all-inclusive choice

Drinks are not included in the standard ticket. There is a paid bar with a broad selection, and table service continues through the performance. This means you do not need to miss a routine by standing at the bar, which is a real advantage in a show divided into many acts.

The table service is praised for being quick, although small glasses can mean ordering more often. That is a minor annoyance rather than a major problem, but it affects the final bill and your patience during busy moments.

An all-inclusive drinks package may be available as an upgrade. One useful tip is to compare the upgrade price when booking with the cost of adding it on the night, since the later option can be more expensive. If you expect to buy several drinks, the package may make budgeting easier. If you only want one or two, paying as you go could be better value.

The standard ticket includes the meal, but not drinks or transport. Keep those extras in mind when comparing the advertised price with the total cost of your evening.

Is the €44 ticket good value?

Adult admission starts at €44, with children’s tickets from €34. The supplied price is also shown as about $50 per person, though the euro price is the clearer reference for booking in Lanzarote. A €10 supplement applies if you select available transport.

For that money, you receive a three-course meal, a pre-show, the full production, a meet and greet, and roughly four hours of entertainment. I consider that solid value for a holiday night, especially when you compare it with paying separately for dinner and a professional evening show.

The value depends on what you want from dinner. If you expect restaurant-level cooking, you may be disappointed. If you want a reliable meal served at your table while the entertainment continues, the arrangement works well.

The 4.6 rating from 422 reviews also suggests a consistently popular experience, though no show suits everyone. The most praised elements are the humor, cast talent, friendly staff, hot food, smooth organization, and the amount of entertainment included.

Who will enjoy this show most?

I would recommend Music Hall Tavern to:

• Couples wanting a lively night away from the hotel
• Families with children who can handle cheeky humor
• Groups who enjoy singing along and social entertainment
• Visitors who want an English-language evening
• Returning fans interested in the new summer 2025 production
• Anyone celebrating a birthday or special occasion

You may want to skip it if you dislike audience involvement, innuendo, crowded seating, or long dinner shows. It is also not suitable for anyone who cannot manage 17 stairs unless the venue confirms an appropriate arrangement in advance.

The show is also a good choice if you want a complete evening with very little planning after arrival. Dinner, entertainment, service, and the return to the same meeting point are all handled in one place.

Booking, cancellation, and useful planning tips

You can cancel up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund. A reserve-now-and-pay-later option is available, which helps if your Lanzarote plans are still changing.

Check the starting time during booking, even though the advertised evening schedule is 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. If you select transport, confirm the pickup location and arrive early. If you are making your own way, allow time to find Centro Commercial La Peñita and reach the first floor.

Tell the provider about dietary needs, a wheelchair, a pram, medical concerns, or a celebration before the night. These details are much easier to manage when the staff know in advance.

I would also decide about drinks before arriving. Table service is convenient, but an upgrade may be better value for people who plan to drink throughout the four-hour program.

Should you book Music Hall Tavern?

Book it if you want a cheerful, highly produced night with live singing, drag comedy, dinner, and plenty of sparkle. The strongest reason to go is the complete package: you get a long evening of entertainment, a filling meal, friendly service, and an English-language show for a fair starting price.

I would not book it for fine dining or a quiet theatre experience. The room can feel crowded, drinks cost extra, and the stairs make access difficult for some people. For most visitors who enjoy cheeky humor and big show tunes, though, Music Hall Tavern is an easy holiday recommendation. Bring your appetite, your sense of fun, and comfortable shoes for those 17 steps.
