It's getting warm here now

Well I think Summer has officially arrived in Costambar. The days are getting hotter & the nights are warm & sticky.

Luckily MarLou's is blessed with a near-constant breeze all year round, & when that doesn't blow we always have our fans to keep our customers cool.

A nice long refreshing cocktail or "iced lemonade" is always available too.

Lately Louise & I have been sitting more & more on our sun terrace, which in addition to the aforementioned breeze, benefits from being in the shade whenever we are open, so why not try dining al-fresco at MarLou's some time?

This weeks' events

Thursday - Open Mic Night - come down & reveal your hidden talents to Costambar!

Saturday - Dancing & karaoke by request.

Enjoy your week
Mark & Louise

PLEASE NOTE
Due to other commitments this week only we shall be closed on Sunday.

For One Night Only .... Louise will be eating Cup Noodle ...

You DO NOT want to miss this people, believe me!

Thursday from 8pm.

Open Mic Night at MarLou's.

Price rises and Summer Program

First the bad news - this week the price of Bohemia beer rose by almost 50%. As a result, unfortunately we have had to raise our price to you by RD10 per bottle, which is only 15% by the way.

Now the happy news!

Throughout Summer, & possibly through Autumn & Winter too, Thursday will be Open Mic Night. Anybody who wants to entertain our customers is free to take the stage & do his or her thing.

If you want to play some music or sing, you can.
If you want to recite poetry, you can.
If you want to tell jokes, you can.

We believe there are lots of talented people in Costambar & we sincerely hope they will come along on Thursdays & share their gifts with us all.

Just in case nobody wishes to share, we can have a dance & sing-song too ;-)

Saturdays, as previously stated, are traditionally karaoke nights, but only if there is a demand from the singers. Otherwise we'll put on some dance music or whatever you want to hear.

Enjoy your week
Mark & Louise

Election weekend

We've been investigating the possibility of opening this weekend, it's election time here & the drinking laws are somewhat stringent at these times.

The upshot of our enquiries is that we WILL be open this weekend as usual, so Saturday it's dancing/karaoke & Sunday for dinner.

Don't forget!

Live guitar music tonight at MarLou's from 8pm(ish).

And


Louise is back!

Live Music at MarLou's

Good news!

This Thursday, 17th May, we're having more live music at MarLou's.

Ivan is coming over from Cabarete with his guitar to play for us all.

His day job is a tattooist & he will be in Costambar for a couple of days, so if you want to discuss tattoos with him beforehand his number is 829-846-6863.

You see, we promised you music over the Summer!

Thursday, from 8pm ... ish

A New Offer & Summer Program

To celebrate our new Cocktail List we're introducing Cocktail of the Month.

This month it's the White Lady for only RD100! (Normal price RD150).

Now the summer is here our Saturday night program will differ slightly. If people want to sing, karaoke will be available as always, but we're clearing more space for dancing to classic rock n roll, jive & anything else our customers request.

We hope to see you there!

A slight glitch ...

Unfortunately, due to health reasons, Louise won't be able to work for the rest of the week.

MarLou's will still be open as usual though from 6pm Wednesday thru Sunday, but since I'm working solo most of the time, our usual speedy service may be umm not-so-speedy.

It would help me no end if diners call ahead on 829-712-8189, so I can organise myself a tad more efficiently.

Thank you
Mark.
