Café Marlene – warm atmosphere & live music at the Centro Comercial Cita

Right in the heart of Playa del Inglés (Gran Canaria) Café Marlene welcomes you as a meeting place for music, good vibes and unforgettable evenings.

For many years, we have been delighting our guests with live music every evening, a wide selection of drinks and an atmosphere where you simply enjoy staying a little longer.

How to find us:

You will find us directly in the Centro Comercial Cita, centrally located in the popular holiday resort of Playa del Inglés. You can see the exact location of CC Cita on Google Maps. From the main entrance at Avenida de Francia, walk straight ahead for a few metres to the end. Then turn half-left across the square, passing three restaurants. A distinctive landmark on this square is a pink Volkswagen “Beetle”. At the end of the square, go up the stairs in the middle. From the top, looking to the right, you will already see Café Marlene.

Live music & artists

Music is at the heart of Café Marlene. Every evening, a variety of artists perform – from German Schlager and classic songs to international hits. You can find our musicians and their profiles here: Musicians overview

I have been visiting Café Marlene for many years and regularly celebrate my birthday with Manolo. I feel at home here, like being part of a big family.

We first visited Café Marlene about ten years ago and got to know the friendly owners, the staff and the musicians, who helped make Marlene a real cult venue. We spend our holidays in Playa del Inglés twice a year and are at Manolo’s almost every evening. Reasonable prices, great atmosphere, many friendly people. A fantastic team with Manolo as the boss.

I have been coming to Playa del Inglés, Gran Canaria since 2018, and when I first saw this place in Cita with German live music, I fell in love immediately! There is a really great atmosphere, and Manolo is such a kind person. He is always smiling, and we always receive the biggest hug from him! The guests at Café Marlene are mainly German-speaking, but there are also Norwegians and Danes (my husband and I). We are there almost every evening when we are on Gran Canaria, simply to have a good time. My rating:
Café Marlene: 10 out of 10
Manolo: 10 out of 10
Atmosphere: 10 out of 10
