Location, Location, Location ...

Well it’s been about a year since we started to look for a new location for our business, having realised that the Gym Bar was … errrr … unsuitable for our purposes (no water, roof about to collapse, electricity supply insecure etc). At the time there weren’t that many venues available & Las Rocas fitted the bill perfectly.

Now, however, there are many more potential properties on the market : Harley Rock is available to rent or buy, Ton’s Bar has always been for sale, Lukas hasn’t renewed his lease at Café Selecta, & it turns out Domingo’s & Pasqual’s  are both open to offers. So basically everything beachside between El Carey (which I am sure would be available for the right price) & the old Bayside Beach Club is available for rent.

You know what? We NEVER wanted a beach bar. So hopefully that will quash the rumours. MarLou’s is staying where it is!

Changing subject, from the frivolous to the serious.

Some of you are aware that we will be re-launching our Costambar Community Nights next week. For those of you who haven’t heard about this, this is how it works.

EVERY Monday night we will be donating, out of our nightly takings, monies to two worthy, independent fund-raising groups within our community.

They are:

The Security Committee who raise funds to pay for the Policia Nacional to patrol Costambar in support of our own APC security & have in the last year installed CCTV at the main gate, provided short-wave radios for several properties, linked to the gate, uniforms for the guards & numerous other items which help protect both you & me from harm.

The Costambar Roads Improvement Committee who have immeasurably improved the quality of the roads within the town & have big plans for 2012, so I’ve read here

Here’s how our Costambar Community Nights will work:

We will be opening the kitchen at 5pm, but only on Mondays;

For each meal we sell we will donate RD20;

For each drink we sell we will donate RD5;

At the end of the night we will reckon-up how much we have raised, divide it equally between the two causes & publish the total on this blog.

We know it is not a lot of money per meal/drink, but we work on very tight margins lol.

We hope you will all join us in supporting our community, hey the food’s great so what more excuse do you need!
