Been sold to a Spanish chap by all accounts. Had some good crack in there over the years.
-
Back in the UK now. Obviously it has changed hands but does anybody know if they have kept the 2 staff on ??

Hi Graham,
I've no idea who the previous staff were but I have been in there the last two Thursdays for the quiz.
Thursday the 4th there was a Spanish couple (who I took to be the new owners but may be wrong) behind the bar; last night the lady of the couple was there with a young English lad (late teens early twenties) and a Spanish lady, early 30's. Apologies to them in advance as I'm not too good at guessing ages.
Kevin is still doing the quiz.
Hope this helps.
-
Thanks David.
By the sounds of it Lisa may of moved on although I'm sure Thursday is 1 of her nights off so maybe not. I hope not.
Been there a few years Lisa and always have a good natter with her. Back out in a few weeks so hopefully see her.
Thanks for the update mate.

I asked Kev a few days ago. He said she’s on holiday.

Ah right. Thanks Pauline. Hopefully see her in there soon.

Be nice to see this bar back to where it once was
-
Closed again and up for rent. A few rumours regarding the failure but the truth is out there somewhere.

This bar could easily be a candidate for my "most bars in one location" prize. How about the forum members form a syndicate to buy it? :)
-
Shame... Was such a good bar for many years when original owner had it.
The Worst location on the strip but was always busy.
-
Shame. Great bar when Pete and Mary had it.
-
looks like Oceans is open again....
& Also Brothers has been taken over with a new name
Hopefully they will both do well
-
I’ve heard the owners of shooters have sold up and brought Oceans.

(if true) they must be mad - how can that be a better business location than where they are now ?
-
at a guess from the FB page set up... they have just taken that bar over as well . Which could be a good idea over summer months
-
Apparently the lady who used to own Casanovas, Chris? Is taking on very Shooters on 1st July.
-
Meant to say taking over Shooters!
Tony who is the partner of the existing owner of Shooters has a very busy and thriving building business which is expanding so maybe they thought a smaller bar was more manageable.

...........and for all the smoothies out there the new name of Brothers is "Lizard Lounge"

Trying to go upmarket apparently, had a Michael Buble tribute on Saturday but were already out so not sure how successful
-
The little benidorm strip also known as the Carrabassi has never been upmarket in my opinion, yes there have over 20 years been a few nice places, sadly nice doesnt pay the rent only chips and cheap beer seem to do well. Most bars are permanently for sale.
Maybe its time to run the "name that bar " quiz again, always a chuckle.

Not overly impressed with the strip this visit. A lot of the bar staff are a bit miserable for some reason. The lad in Shooters is a pleasant fellow but apart from him the bars are lacking a little sonething at the minute. Nice woman in Mileys on Wednesday night serving on.
Malones is still the best spot for a few beers early evening and i have noticed we have a new resident who has appeared and can certainly talk.
