About Joys Live
Joys Live is a stylish, informal bar anchored on Puerto Banús's waterfront, where live music and strong cocktails define the evening. The venue draws groups and tourists year-round with its festive atmosphere—singers and guitarists take the stage after 9:30 pm, creating an energetic backdrop for dancing and socializing. The bar excels at craft cocktails and an impressive beer selection, with professional bartenders who know their craft. Reviewers consistently praise the welcoming staff, the quality of drinks (including non-alcoholic mocktails), and the dual-space layout that lets guests enjoy quieter moments on the terrace before moving to the livelier interior. The location itself is a draw: seated on the bar's couches, you can watch yachts and supercars drift past while live music plays. Accessible to wheelchair users and explicitly welcoming to LGBTQ+ guests and transgender visitors, Joys Live has earned a reputation as a safe, inclusive space in the Puerto Banús scene.

What Customers Say
Buon pomeriggio, con un amico del posto sono arrivato in questa bellissima realtà. Bar sul lungomare del porto. Buoni cocktail e birre. Personale gentile e molto professionale. Consiglio assolutamente.
This is a great bar with beers and cocktails plus live music after 9:30 pm. The three main staff, including Teddy make you feel truly welcome. Snacks are available and the location means you can watch the Poseurs in their Lamborghinis, Porsches and Bentleys go by.
Excelente ambiente, deliciosos cocteles y excelente servicio de parte del personal muy amables se pasa genial es la primer vez que voy y me encantó quiero volver pronto. La música en vivo muy agradable merece la pena estar allí.
