Lanzarote: MHT – Music Hall Tavern – Comedy Drag Dinner Show

The best part of this Lanzarote night is the mix of live drag performance and dinner. You are not simply watching a stage show, and you are not simply eating in a themed restaurant. The evening moves from a cast welcome to dinner, warm-up comedy, singing, dancing, costume changes, and a full production split into two parts.

I like the English-language format, which makes the jokes, songs, and audience interaction easy to follow. I also like the practical setup: table service continues during the show, so you can order drinks without missing the action. The main consideration is the venue itself. It sits upstairs at Centro Commercial La Peñita, with 17 steps and no lift, and some tables may feel close together during dinner.

Key points to know before booking

• A full four-hour evening: The advertised schedule runs from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM, including dinner, pre-show entertainment, interval, and the main production.
• The meal is built into the ticket: Expect vegetable soup, a turkey roast dinner with potatoes, vegetables and gravy, then Viennetta ice cream.
• Live singing is part of the act: This is not only lip-sync comedy. The cast performs vocals, dance routines, comedy, and audience-friendly singalong numbers.
• The show is in English: The host and performances are designed for English-speaking audiences.
• Drinks cost extra: You receive table service throughout the night, but drinks are purchased separately unless you choose an available drinks upgrade.
• Allow for the stairs: The venue is on the first floor, reached by 17 steps, with no lift.

Why Music Hall Tavern works as a holiday night out

Music Hall Tavern is built for the kind of evening when you want to stop planning and let somebody else handle the entertainment. You arrive, meet the cast, sit down to a three-course meal, and watch the room turn into a stage. The mood is bright, cheeky, and deliberately easygoing.

The show combines live vocals, dance routines, comedy, glittering costumes, and familiar singalong material. The newer summer 2025 production adds updated routines and LED screen projections while keeping the broad, crowd-friendly style associated with the venue.

You should expect some slightly rude jokes and innuendo. The material is presented as family-friendly in the booking information, but that does not mean it is aimed at very young children or that every joke is completely innocent. Parents should use their own judgment, especially if children are sensitive to adult humor.

The atmosphere is social rather than formal. You eat at shared or closely arranged tables, and the show encourages laughter and participation. That setup can help couples and families meet other people during the evening, but it can also feel crowded if you prefer a quiet meal or plenty of personal space.

Arriving at Centro Commercial La Peñita

The meeting point is the Music Hall Tavern at Centro Commercial La Peñita on Avenida de las Playas in Puerto del Carmen. Show your voucher at reception. The venue is on the first floor, reached by 17 steps, and there is no lift.

That stair access is the most important practical issue to settle before you book. Tell the venue in advance about wheelchairs, prams, medical needs, or anything else that could affect your comfort. The information provided says the staff can accommodate dietary requirements, but access needs should be discussed ahead of time rather than left until arrival.

Optional transfers are available for an extra €10 when offered for your pickup point. The bus carries an MHT sign in the front windscreen. You should wait at the stated pickup point 10 minutes early, since drivers wait no longer than five minutes after the scheduled pickup time.

Transfers are not available from Puerto del Carmen or Tenerife North. If you are already staying in Puerto del Carmen, you will need to make your own way to the venue. The supplied provider label refers to Music Hall Tavern Tenerife, but the meeting point and meal details described here are for the Puerto del Carmen show in Lanzarote.

The cast welcome and pre-show warm-up

The evening begins with a meet and greet at the venue. Cast members welcome you, and a photo opportunity may be part of the arrival experience. One useful touch is the possibility of receiving a complimentary photo with the cast, although you should confirm the exact arrangement on your night.

Dinner and entertainment are woven together rather than kept in separate blocks. The pre-show gets the room laughing before the main production starts. This matters because a comedy drag show works best once the audience has relaxed, understood the tone, and started responding to the performers.

The cast includes performers with strong comic personalities, and Miss Rhona has been singled out for making audiences laugh particularly hard. Names and cast lineups can change, so you should not book expecting one specific performer unless the venue confirms that person for your date.

The three-course dinner, from soup to Viennetta

The standard meal begins with vegetable soup. The main course is a turkey roast dinner with roast and mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and gravy. Dessert is Viennetta ice cream.

This is a straightforward home-cooked-style meal rather than a gourmet restaurant experience. That is the right way to judge it. You are paying for dinner plus four hours of entertainment, and the meal gives you a proper base for the evening instead of leaving you to buy food separately.

The supplied food details include alternatives. Children can have the adult meal or choose chicken nuggets. The vegetarian option is a bean-based burger with potatoes and vegetables. Dietary requirements can be accommodated if you advise the venue in advance.

Food quality can vary with personal taste. Some diners describe the meal as excellent, tasty, hot, and well served, while another found the food only adequate. The useful point is that the kitchen and waiting staff are part of a busy show operation. Service is often praised for being quick, and meals may arrive while the entertainment is moving around you.

If you want a relaxed, slow dinner, this may not be your ideal restaurant setting. If you want a practical meal that keeps the night moving, it fits the purpose well.

The main production, with live vocals and comedy

After the warm-up and meal service, the full production takes over. The show is divided into two parts with a 15-minute interval. The break gives you time to order more drinks, stretch your legs, and reset before the second half.

The performances combine singing, dance, comedy, drag characters, costumes, and projections on LED screens. The screens add color and visual support to individual acts, and the production uses live acting and innuendo alongside music. This gives the show more shape than a simple sequence of costume changes and jokes.

Live singing is an important part of the experience. The performers are not presented only as comic characters. You can expect vocal numbers, dance routines, and the familiar singalong style that helps bring the whole room into the show.

The comedy is broad and occasionally raunchy, but the supplied information describes it as not vulgar. The tone is designed to keep the evening moving, with jokes landing quickly and visual gags helping guests who may not know every song.

This is not a quiet theater performance where you sit back and study every detail. It is a participatory holiday show. You may sing along, laugh at the audience interaction, and find the performers working directly with the energy in the room.

Table service and the real cost of drinks

Table service runs throughout the show, so you do not need to leave your seat to visit the bar. That is a genuine convenience during the performance. You can order during the interval or while the action continues, depending on the service pattern at your table.

Drinks are not included in the standard ticket. The bar offers a wide selection, and an all-inclusive drinks package may be available as an upgrade. One practical tip is to compare the upgrade price when booking with the cost of adding it on the night, since the upgrade may be more expensive at the venue.

The drink service receives praise for speed and quality, but small glasses can mean ordering more often. That is a minor annoyance rather than a serious problem, though it matters if you are trying to keep spending under control.

At roughly $50 per person, or from €44 for standard adult entry, the value depends on how you use the evening. The ticket includes the show, the pre-show, the cast welcome, and a three-course dinner. Children are listed at €34, with a €10 transport supplement when transfers are selected.

For a four-hour entertainment package in a holiday resort, that is a fair price, especially if you would otherwise pay for a meal and a separate night of entertainment. Drinks, transport where needed, and any upgrade remain extra, so check the final total before treating the advertised entry price as the complete cost.

Who will enjoy this show most

I would recommend Music Hall Tavern to couples, families with older children, groups of friends, and anyone who likes a lively night rather than a quiet meal. It suits you best if you enjoy camp humor, bright costumes, recognizable songs, and comedy that sometimes pushes into adult territory.

Repeat attendance also makes sense if you return to Lanzarote. The production changes, and some regulars have gone several times while still finding new routines and familiar cast energy worth seeing again. The summer 2025 version is presented as a fresh show, not simply a repeat of an older running order.

This is less suitable if you dislike audience participation, shared tables, loud comedy, or drag performance. It may also be a poor fit if stairs are difficult for you, since there is no lift to the first floor.

The show is performed entirely in English. That makes it a particularly easy choice for English-speaking visitors who want to follow every joke and lyric without relying on gestures or translation.

Useful planning details for your night

Plan for the whole 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM window. The evening is not just a 90-minute stage act, and you should avoid scheduling another fixed activity immediately afterward.

Arrive ready to show your voucher at reception. If you have a dietary request, celebration, wheelchair, pram, or medical concern, tell the organizers before the night. The venue can mark special occasions and can work with food requirements when given notice.

The 15-minute interval is short. Use it for drinks and the restroom rather than assuming you have a long break. Table service means you can keep your place and continue ordering without missing the second half.

The show finishes back at the meeting point. If you use an optional transfer, follow the pickup instructions carefully, and remember that the driver may leave after the five-minute waiting limit.

Cancellation is flexible up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund. A reserve-now-and-pay-later option may also be available, which helps if you are still arranging the rest of your Lanzarote schedule.

Should you book Music Hall Tavern?

Book it if you want a complete holiday evening with a meal, live singing, dance, comedy, costumes, and a friendly English-speaking host. The strongest reasons are the amount of entertainment packed into four hours, the cast energy, and the convenience of table service.

Think twice if you need lift access, prefer a quiet dinner, or want drinks included in the basic price. Also check the adult humor against your children’s age and comfort level.

For most visitors who enjoy a good-natured, slightly cheeky stage show, Music Hall Tavern is a solid Lanzarote choice. I would book the standard show and meal first, then compare the drinks upgrade and transport cost before paying extra.
