What's happened to Big Al's? They've been closed for the last several days/nights? Twas a good laugh in there. Sad to see another ex-pat bar close! Anyone have any info?

I went to eat at Mykas Kitchen last night. A group of people had been “on it” all afternoon. The aforementioned “Big Al” was amongst them. I have to say the language and behaviour was disgusting  - probably the worst I have seen in my 12 yrs here. Not a pretty sight. Pretty clear to hear and see they have chucked the keys in. Lots of other rumours going about which is (apparently) all over FB -if interested do the research, the truth is out there

Needless to say we didn’t eat there and they did a goood job of clearing shooters and Tres Besos also

There’s a rumour that they’ve done a runner/been evicted not for the first time, true or not I do not know, just what I’ve heard

I think it’s brilliant news, apart from those owed money who I feel sorry for, no more appallingly bad karaoke at full volume to listen to whilst you’re in The Belfry.

Maybe Mayka should have put a stop to it.  Difficult I know.

These types are certainly not desirable at the best of times its bad enough in Summer. Wrecking hard working peoples livelyhood  by bad behaviour is not on  .

What do you mean "been evicted" and "they owe money to people"? Are we talking about the same people?

Get out round a few bars and listen to what people are saying Shash.
Interesting to note that the four posts you have made since joining this forum in April 2016 have all been about Big Als, the thought crosses my mind that you know more than you are letting on......

I do recall a thread last year where on good authority it was stated Big Als was on the market, this thread was vehemently shot down as false and malicious nonsense. In typical Victor style i offered a wager to 2 forum members who had wheeled out the big guns, strangely neither took the bet on what i was suggesting.
I dont know the woman but always found her quite unpleasant.
They dont like it up em !

Delighted to see it go! Without doubt THE worst bar in GA by a mile! Lots of rumours about them not paying rent in either the bar or the house......people like that not needed in GA!

I used to go in Big Als occasionally when they had a show on some of which were very good, the karaoke  was loud and some of it not good on the ears but then again karaoke is supposed to be for all levels isn't it?. What has disappointed me
Is the people on here passing on hearsay about their finances and being glad they are going. We can't always have the places we want on our doorsteps and the NIMBY attitude towards their business is appalling.
I wonder where all their old clientele are going to drink now.
Mayka's does a good cider apparently.

Again rumour mill but I heard it wasn't theirs to sell, owner Liz who lives in the UK relunctly rented it to Alison and Brendan following years of it sitting on the sales market (when it Cafe del Sol). Apparently had to whistle for her rent.

It's not here say regards the finances, it's common knowledge. Unfortunately the people they chose to owe money to are very vocal.
