Joys Live
Quick Verdict
Locals return for the live music, strong drinks, and staff who actually remember your name. It's a proper watering hole, not a tourist trap dressed up as one.
Go if you want cocktails with live guitar or singing after 9:30pm and don't mind paying €15 for a drink to sit on a couch facing the marina.
About Joys Live
Joys Live is a waterfront bar on Puerto Banús's main strip where you come for cocktails, live music, and people-watching rather than food. The space splits two ways: an open front facing the marina where you can watch yachts and supercars, and a back room where the live singers take over after 9:30pm. Reviewers praise the cocktails (strong pours, €7–€15 range), the professionalism of staff like Teddy and Silvia, and the consistent energy from February onwards when live music becomes nightly. It's not a dinner destination—one regular noted they only visited after midnight and didn't expect food. The vibe is upscale-casual: couch seating, port views, and enough noise and movement to feel like something's happening without the pretension of a nightclub.
What Stands Out
Live music nightly (February onwards)
Multiple reviewers mention 'live music after 9:30pm', 'singers at the top', and 'guitar player'. One notes it's 'Super place, especially out of season, when you want to have good music and dance from February.'
Strong cocktails and professional bartenders
Reviewers consistently praise 'deliciosos cocteles', 'excelente servicio', and 'barmen were very professional and friendly'. One customer noted '1 Gin & T was enough for me during the day'—evidence of generous pours.
Marina-facing location with dual atmosphere
Customers describe watching 'Poseurs in their Lamborghinis, Porsches and Bentleys go by' and 'yachties ease out under sail and power'. The split layout (open front, back room with singers) lets you choose your vibe.
What Customers Say
