Just back from Corralejo where we spent 5 of our 7 nights in the RIB, really enjoyed the music and the atmosphere. James Gillespie is brilliant, make sure you go to the RIB when in Corralejo as the music is great and even better when James is performing. More

To be honest, this was not the type of place that normally I would even consider going into. From the outside, there was little to recommend it and it just seemed to be just another 'singing pub'. However a (more adventerous!) friend recommended it, so we went along to check it out and I was blown away. The atmosphere is... More

Hi Many thanks for your review, glad you enjoyed the bar! It's always nice to get a review from a fellow musician. I totally agree with you, both Wayne Brennan and James Gillespie are super musicians and have their own unique styles. At the RiB we try to keep our music as diverse as possible to suit everyone's taste. Thanks... More

Hi, i have been here a few times of the last few years and yes it is always the same bar staff,no problem,but it seems that the musicians play what either they want to play or what the bar staff want to hear,my biggest gripe has to be how light the measure of spirits were,5.50 for a drizzle of southern...

I would defo visit again while in corralejo More

Been going to the Rock Island bar twice a year for about 6 years. The same staff every time, but they dont even acknowledge you at all. Not at all friendly in any way. Other small bars we go to welcome us back and have a little chat. I know they have a lot of people all year round coming... More

Hi Dawn I'm glad you came back to see us. Looking at the date of this post though, it looks like you must have visited when Mandy and myself were away on holiday. As you mentioned, we do have a great deal of clients (new & old) passing through our doors and it can be difficult to remember each one.... More

Finding something that suits adults and teenagers alike is always a problem - but Rock Island Bar helped us out here. My teenagers loved the place and wanted to go back again. It was a really cosy retro place: but it was the music we loved. Wayne Brennan was fabulous and even more so as he played all our requests!Check... More
