When we are OPEN we are OPEN and when we are CLOSED we are CLOSED.

We are open all the year round – unless we have something better to do
and we serve Hot and Cold Food until late – or until we get fed up!!

Having been in Spain since 1984 and hosts of THE SPORTSMAN since 1996 Dave and Lucja are well established in Benalmadena and are layed back enough help you relax on your visit

THE SPORTSMANS

The Sportsmans Bar is situated just far enough back from the busy coast road in a haven of spectacular Royal Palms with five bars and a restaurant and boasts a peaceful terrace shaded by the giant trees and with views out to the twinkling mediterranean

The Bar is lined with a huge collection of football shirts collected over the years and are always a talking point – As is Daves unfaltering support for Tranmere Rovers

Someone has to do it!

Very relaxing atmosphere, Dave seems to be a bit of an authority on football and can keep a good conversation going on this subject. Lucja is also a very genial host and great observer of life in general. I found the atmosphere very relaxing. I would recommend this Bar.”

Football was on and was quickly engaged by the owners. mixed bunch and mainly UK clients. Visited next day and lots of local ex pats seem to use the bar. Dave the owner is very knowledgeable on all sports and when and where and if they are on TV. Was cold at night so sat inside. Extremely clean toilets and very modern. Home from home. 9/10.”

They have just moved into the new bar and it’s lovely. I’ll be in again when I visit Benalmadena in January 2012. A good place for a chat, all the customers talk to each other great atmosphere.”

Delighted with the brand new bar, immaculately clean well decorated and comfortably furnished. Dave and Lucja have a GREAT new bar, all the best of the old atmosphere and the comfort of new surroundings”

Top bar, unbelievably friendly people, I’ve never been to a bar where everyone sits and talks to each other like they do here. Highly recommend the Fish Finger Butty (with beans and egg!). Cant wait to go back again for the next episode of Dave’s life! Thanks for a great time.”

The food is very good for the prices you pay. The owners are lovely, really funny and down to earth. We have had a good time here for the last 3 years.”
