We first visited the Westend Show Bar in June 2022 and we had an amazing time with Barbie, Lexie and Stella. Two months prior to our recent holiday we booked a table via messenger to attend the Sunday 4 and half hour show. From the moment we arrived it was non stop fun and it felt nice when Stella recognised us. We received excellent customer service from the bar staff who kept the delicious cocktails flowing. The entertainment was fantastic and seemed to go on and on (in a good way).
Even though this was the second time that we saw the performance we couldn't stop laughing. One of our favourite parts of the show was when some of the audience (including me) got wet by Lexi's drunken performance. Lexi also persuaded us to join in with the hand movements of the Sound of Music song Do-Re-Mi. Stella was so funny with the off the cuff remarks and we would highly recommend a visit if you don't mind a 'bit' of swearing with adult humour from the start. We can't wait to see you all again next year.

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.

We booked the West End Showbar for 12 of us who were on a hen do and we had an absolutely amazing time! The entertainment was hilarious and the singing got all of us up dancing. Booking this was really smooth and Darren was very helpful. We booked the drag brunch gold package and it was worth the money as the drinks and food were flowing fast for the full 2 hours. The feedback from the group was amazing and they thought this experience was the best of our trip. We would definitely come back again and would recommend to everyone.

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.

One of the group booked the Sunday Funday via WhatsApp about 4 weeks ago. Barbie showed us to the tables and we enjoyed about 5 hours of great fun. Lexi, Barbie and Stella were amazing, posing for pictures like superstars. They had so much enthusiasm, passion, talent and stamina. The show was outstanding with some help from the audience and lots of adult humour. Lexi was cheeky in more ways than one!!!
Half way through there was the welcome suprise of a buffet. There was a great selection of sandwiches and crisps. The cheese and onion sandwiches disappeared quickly (on my plate), because they were so delicious. We ordered freshly made cocktails and the bar staff worked hard all night (bar was full to capacity). Gorgeous Stella kept the tables cleared, tottering around on 6 inch stilettos. We got emotional when the performers revealed their identities and everyone stood up and clapped. The evening was well worth €5 and we will definitely be returning next year. Everytime we think or talk about our evening at the West End Show Bar we burst into laughter. We have never laughed so much in our lives and would recommend a visit.

9 of us on my daughter's hen do went to the bottomless brunch, 4pm to 6pm. What a fantastic experience. We were very warmly greeted & the atmosphere was fun from the start. Gorgeous cocktails & fabulous tapas were on our table on arrival & the food & drink just kept on coming. There is a cocktail menu on the table & you literally just glance at the waiter & he brings you another drink. Barbie & Stella are so much fun, hillarious but what beautiful singers too! This experience should not be missed. Superb entertainment, enormous fun, lovely cocktails & delicious food. Excellent value for money. Thank you to all the staff for making our day.

Went to the West End Showbar with a hen party for the bottomless brunch on Friday. A friendly welcome and great mix of comedy and music in a relaxing and fun atmosphere, we couldn't have asked for anything more.
Everyone had an amazing time, laughing, singing and dancing. Food and drinks flowed and we didn't have to ask for top ups at any point as the shirtless waiters looked after us so well.
We would recommend the brunch to anyone (as long as you're not easily offended - but then this isn't the place for you!).

This show was absolutely fantastic and I have never laughed so much in a longtime.
We’d booked and arrived about 5.30 for a 6 o’clock start. First up was Barbie Krueger who was just so funny with her mimed routine, then was Lexi Legs who did a very athletic set with a lot of audience participation. Then came a break with free sandwiches, which were lovely and fresh.
After the break Barbie and Lexi did a truly funny set
which ended with a ‘de frocking’.
Lexi and Barbie got a standing ovation.
We were then warned that if we easily took offence or
were of a nervous disposition then perhaps we had better leave before the next act ‘Stella Artois’
came on. To say Stella was the opposite of PC was
an understatement but OMG was she funny and
I laughed until my jaw ached as did everyone else.
What I wasn’t prepared for was that Stella could really
sing and belted put several show tunes culminating in
a tune from The Greatest Showman. I really got the
Impression that she didn’t want to
leave the stage and she also got a standing ovation.
The show lasted from 6-1030 and if you are up for a
laugh and want properly entertaining then this venue is
a must for some Sunday Fun!
Well done to Darren and Dan.
If I could give more stars I would.

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.
Daniel W

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.

You can do it here (through Facebook is easier as we don't always get notified when questions are left ON TripAdvisor).
So to confirm a booking has been made for tomorrow for 3 people under the name Linda.

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
Daniel W
Benidorm, Spain22 contributions
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.

Hi Ruth, Tuesday is the only day were actually closed. Someone's already posted our line up as of September 2018, we do cabaret every night except Tuesday times do vary every day though. 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.
