Very bad service, they take time to serve the English public, they are only interested in the Spanish public that they have fun and do not protest... The first two Gings with very little gin and two ice cubes already melted and out of politeness we did not protest, in both following the gin was even worse, two fingers of gin and two of ice, the very unpleasant waitress said there was no ice, but we complained about the little gin and they took the two glasses inside without caring who the glass belonged to and they brought it with all the gin on top and they mixed it without knowing who it was from, after making them see our bad state, the staff and the owner said that they no longer served us, they refused to fix the gin and tonic and also to put two new ones well served paying again for them... they are not professionals and very rude!!!!!!...the only good thing is the singer!
In the souk of Calahonda there are better cocktail bars and with a more polite and pleasant staff, beware of that.

The owner of this place gets drunk and won't let anyone into the toilet until she comes in.
My partner was waiting for another customer to come out when the owner came over and stood in the way to stop my partner from entering, threatening her that she was the owner of the premises.
SHAMEFUL
The owner grabbed my partner by the hair and started assaulting her in front of all the customers.
A scene worthy of a roadhouse.
I would never recommend this place, they should close it down.

This really is a home from home. What a great little bar. Lots of outdoor seats and reasonably priced drinks. All the staff, including Kerry were lovely - so friendly and chatty.
We had gone to see the singers which were amazing, so much fun with a great atmosphere.

It was 6pm on a Monday in January and we heard live singing and a great atmosphere so we had to investigate. What a brilliant bar with lovely friendly people and what a fantastic night we had. We left at 10.30pm and that says it all........Highly recommended if you like to enjoy yourself and lovely people.

Made a point of finding this bar on our first visit to Calahonda after reading great reviews about it. We went for a drink before heading out for dinner ar Di Vinci's and the bar wasn't busy at all. Perhaps we attended too early in the evening but I just didn't pick up on the atmosphere that was described in other reviews. Good choice of drinks and friendly staff and most likely a great place to be when busy. Personally we preferred fools bar up the stairs in El Zoco

We have been coming to this bar for years and have always enjoyed it. The new owners have shifted the bar about which makes it a lot bigger and what they have done with the ladies loo is brilliant. It was so tiny in there before!! The drinks are very reasonably priced and the staff are very friendly and polite.
