We where in Torremolinos for four days only, and visited the Arcos bar every night. Charles and Steve are the loveliest guys, nothing was too much for them. We laughed, we cried, they in themselves where worth the visit.
The bar was clean and tidy, big but not too big, the toilets where very clean. The cocktails they made where fresh and must say very tasty, they have a great range of drinks and it was a delight to visit their lovely bar.
Charles, though a little precious was a hoot to say the least ( spoilt brat lol ). Where as Steve was a gentle giant, with again a great manner and sense of humour.
I would advise anyone to visit the Arcos bar and long may they run it. Well done boys Hilary Hepburn

Well where to start! The decor is just fabulous, and the drinks are to die for, they rival other cocktails Ive had worldwide, I dont think I'll ever have another strawberry daquiri as good!!
Charles and Steve are so much more than "proprietors or "barmen" they are warm, friendly and welcoming and more than happy to chat.
Theyre such a lovely couple and are most certainly in the right job,
we cant wait to return and make full use of the new glitzy dance floor!!
We'd recommend this bar to anyone who wants delicious drinks, great music & friendly hosts all wrapped up in a classy sparkly fabulous package!!!

My bf Ed and I googled gay bars in Torremolinos and found Arcos just at the top of the stairs from the gay beach. (there's a lift up btw) We walked in and saw owners Charles and Steve who instantly made us feel so happy and welcome. From then on it was a week of fun and laughter and no night out could begin without spending time there. In fact, most nights we just stayed until closing before going on to other places which, in comparison, didn't feel anywhere near as much fun. The bar is decorated beautifully and it's a fantastic place to get to know other people and enjoy delicious drinks. Steve does an amazing Mojito with freshly-grown mint. Our flight back meant we couldn't go one last time to Arcos and I can genuinely say we felt very sad not to have one last night there. In fact, I'm writing this back at work and I'd give anything to be on the Arcos veranda, sipping a drink. Thank you so much Charles and Steve. You know we will be back.

I cannot begin to tell you how accurate the reviews are stating how lovely the guys who own this place are. They’re both so welcoming and are more than willing to go the extra mile to make your night more enjoyable. Drinks are very reasonably priced and the cocktails are incredible. Really nice location, very easy to find, nice atmosphere and to reiterate amazing owners. Would (and will) definitely return!

Hey there a few questions - Is this anyway near Hotel Ritual?
Also we're looking to book around September 20th for 10 nights - is Torremolinos busy this time of the year? We don't particularly want to come this time of the year if it's really quiet.
Please answer honestly.
Many thanks from your help! :)
