7€ pints and live sports pretty much sum up O’Learys
Post-security in T1 at Tenerife Sur, O’Learys is the main sit-down sports bar near the gates, with TV screens showing Premier League or La Liga most days. It runs through standard departure hours, roughly from early morning check-in waves until the late evening UK flights. Think burgers, wings, and nachos at a mid-range $$ price tier, but reviews talk more about the bar setup and screens than any standout dish.
Expect to pay close to 7€ for a draft beer, according to several English-language reviews that mention “nearly 7€ a pint.” A basic burger and fries lands in the teens, and a soft drink can feel steep compared to prices in town. One traveler summed it up as “food was okay, typical airport bar stuff, but the bill was a bit of a surprise,” which lines up with multiple Spanish reviews calling it “cara” or “muy caro.”
Service swings with the departure board. When several UK and European flights cluster within 60–90 minutes, comments mention slow table service and long waits to settle the bill. On quieter mid-day stretches, people report getting a drink and a seat facing a screen in under 5 minutes. It’s one of the few places close to the gates where you can sit at a table with a proper glass of beer rather than grab-and-go plastic.
Regulars say: eat your main meal in Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas, or another town, then treat O’Learys as a single-drink stop before boarding. Several repeat visitors recommend reading the laminated menu and price list carefully before committing to a second round of pints or cocktails. If you’re delay-padding with a match, grab a table near a screen, order one drink to start, and keep an eye on both the bill and the departure board.
Tip: if you want a seat and a screen before the evening UK bank of flights (around 18:00–21:00), walk straight to O’Learys after security and claim a table before checking the shops.
