- Phoebe T4 contributionsHighly recommended - my cheeks still hurt from laughing!This was our second time to the West End Showbar and this visit was even better than the last. Such great value for a full line up of entertainment, and drinks are a bargain too. Miss Barbie Kruger was absolutely divine as a host, Miss Lexi Legs was utterly fabulous, and Miss Stella Artois herself had us in hysterics. Don’t go if you are easily or deliberately offended, go with a wicked sense of humour and leave feeling like a friend xxWell that's what you call a review, it was our complete pleasure to have you all with us and were glad your enjoyed your afternoon.

- Jemma Louise CCounty Durham, United Kingdom6 contributionsWOW WOW WOW - LEGENDARY BRUNCH A********** THE BEST TIMEWOW - What can say bloody epic !!! We attended as a group of 6 for my sisters Hen party, from start to finish the whole afternoon was class. Greeted with a huge smile from Barbie Kruger 7 Stella Artois and a welcome cocktail which blew our heads off :) Drinks were constantly flowing we had the sangria package which was epic, the group next to us were on the cocktails package which also looked fab. Fully stocked bar if you wanted anything extra. Our Topless waiter was constantly on hand to provide drinks when ever we were empty and think we had about 4 free shots each. Food was also awesome and more than enough (if not to much) We had a selection of bruschetta with various delicious toppings Salami & Red Pepper, Tuna & olive & what I think was a lush garlic frittata, Pizzas and wedges. Onto the act, what can i say laughed so hard my sides were splitting, we opted for the dirty show, Barbie was a brilliant entertainer and compare. Stella Artois literally had everyone's lives just what you want "REBECCA" "PATRICK" (in a Geordie accent) the more mature lady in the group next to us really got it ha ha. One of those moments when no one wanted to break the seal and ago to the toilet. Stella you are an amazing singer and comedy queen, will definitely be back again. Thank you so much for contributing to one one of the best weekend I have ever had.

- Skye3 contributionsFab fab fabWas recommended to go to Westend Showbar whilst me and my friend were on holiday in Benidorm and oh my it did not disappoint!! Hosts and staff were fantastic, the show itself was brilliant too. There is a buffet half way through and great selection of drinks to buy at the bar. Even despite a troublesome guy in the audience it didn't even matter as it was dealt with really well and of course, the show must go on!!! 10/10. Can't wait to visit next time. XThank you it was a pleasure to have you with us, and thank you for writing us such a fabulous review. We look forward to welcoming you back again when your next in Benidorm.

- Patricia RSalisbury, United Kingdom261 contributionsFour hours of belly laughter & entertainment!If you want to see a true drag act, I highly recommend this show. We saw Barbie Kruger, Lexi Legs & Stella Artois. All three were fabulous!! The costumes were gorgeous and their performances were amazing. I went with my husband and we both laughed so much! If you get offended easily, do not attend. The venue is small so I highly recommend booking as they are only open two days a week.Well firstly that's what you call a review so thank you so much for taking the time to leave us one this fabulous. We look forward to seeing you all again soon on your next visit to Benidorm which we hope is soon.

3 drag queens put on the best show , Barbie Kruger , Lexi Legs and the outrageous Stella Artois . Not for the easily offended

Love this place so much that we just have to visit on every Holiday to Beni. We have visited previous years and have never been disappointed, this year we visited on 2 occasions both on a Thursday night to watch the fabulously funny and talented Stella Artois and Barbie kruger. Such a great night with plenty of laughter. Good price drinks, very friendly and cosy atmosphere. It was table service only with prompt service and social distancing adhered to. We felt very safe on both evenings. We would highly recommend. Thank you Dan for the great table service too.

It is recommend that you reserve your seat before attending the West End Show Bar to avoid disappointment.
We reserved a table and had a fantastic Sunday evening with Lexi Legs, Barbie Kruger and Stella Artois. The cabaret show was absolutely hilarious, especially the impersonations of iconic stars and we enjoyed every moment of it. The team were very hard working and were enthusiastic throughout the performance with lots of costume changes, banter and raffle ticket sales. The bar staff were very friendly and the drinks were very reasonably priced. We can't wait to visit again. Thank you for a wonderful night.

This bar is amazing - Darren and Dan create such a friendly atmosphere. The drink selection is brilliant (check out their cocktail list) and when you feel it starting to hit you they even offer a good variety of food and the entertainment is the best. Visiting Benidorm for a long weekend for the other half's birthday and West End Showbar happened to be hosting an event for a local dog charity. The entertainment line up was brilliant, from Elvis and Boy George tributes to hilarious comedy drag acts and singers all being overseen and introduced by their very own Barbie Kruger. An excellent afternoon very well organised. Can't wait to come back later in the year!

After coming to Benidorm with work, I got a couple of friends together and we had such a fab night at the West End Bar! Darren and Dan are the most welcoming people, and they have some class acts on each night! We can't believe they don't charge an entry fee for the quality entertainment they have. Great priced drinks with lots of choice, and even collecting to show support to local charities too. Thank you for a great night out!

After many years in Benidorm we were told about the Showbar and booked our sunday night visit. It far surpassed my expectations - I have never laughed so much in my life, the entertainment from the girls was A1 and went on all night. The best night out we have ever had in our lives and cant wait to return!

We had a fantastic night in here on Thursday night. The drag queen, Stella Artois, was absolutely hilarious and also had the most amazing voice. Dan the barman made amazing cocktails which were very reasonably priced and he replied very quickly to the messages i sent him, regarding the entertainment. Darren aka Barbie Kruger was absolutely lovely to chat to. We would have loved to have seen his drag show too but we just didn't get the time. The show was free, but we really feel they should have charged admission. It was just so fabulous. All the staff were so friendly and lovely. Cannot thank them all for the most amazing night. Best drag show we've ever seen. Would very highly recommend going here.

What can I say absolutely amazing, such friendly bar person and great host. The shows are amazing and the Sunday funday, from start to finish is a must and to say it’s all free it’s well worth a visit. Drinks are a good price too, I would definitely recommend to anyone going to Benidorm to go and see for yourself, I am a solo traveler but your never feel alone in here x

Hola… this maybe a stupid question but different countries have different rules. Would my 16 yr son be allowed to come with us to watch a show.
Written July 4, 2022
Hi, we do allow children in we but we always warn in advance that mostly all our shows do contain adult content.
So we alway say it's more down to the parents, if it's OK with you to let them watch the shows then it's fine with us and their more than welcome.

Hi, I would like to bring a group to see your show on 5th July for a gay couples hen party (we are not badly behaved - I promise). Am I able to book? how much is it? we are a group of 9. Thanks
Written March 22, 2019
DI didn't realise the 5th July was a Friday, at the moment we don't have a show on Friday it's currently a Karaoke night (which could change by the 5th July).
I would recommended coming either Wednesday or Sunday afternoon (which we advise reserving seats), we open at 4pm, a free buffet is put on at 5pm and from 6pm we have 3.5 hours of drag cabaret.
Written March 25, 2019
Are you open in February and which nights do you do the show?

Normally Sunday is the only day that reservations are needed as it's the day we normally are always fully booked. Once you read this just reply and let.me know what you want to to.
