CIRCULO CULTURAL (aka the old Bar Cultural).

[Stevo66]

The gentleman that owns Maxims was seen by me yesterday going into the building that was bar Cultural in the square. Was he just looking or was there another reason.The plot thickens...

Went past today and lots of 'important looking' people standing around in side and out, work is progressing but wont be ready for a long time yet!

Got new front doors but couldn't see much else ,stage may have been lowered. Understand that the owner of the building is refurbing it for his grandson's to run.

Lollipop I think that is true, the other day the owners of the building were there with the constuctors and they do have a long way to go and lots of money to spend!!

The new lighting is in and looks very nice, i was told last night that they plan to open in 2 weeks time .

[JMD40]

Hi Sparky, you beat me to it. Was there Friday morning and yes, all clean and dusted and they hope to open in the next two weeks. Amazing what can be done in a couple of days as they were all shaking their heads out there the other day!
It will be nice to have it re-open anyhow and looks very smart and bright.

[Sparky]

Yes JMD they can indeed work wonders in a short space of time, i just hope that they have sorted the toilets out . It will be great to have the place open again, the square looks so bleak at the moment with literally nothing open .

Agree with that one.

Does the new bar have a name yet?

[Sparky]

There are no signs up yet Zelda but i will try to find out .

[jiggggy]

Is it Bonys 2?

[Nick]

No, it's "Bony's Too" !!!

[lollipop]

I was shown around today by the young man who I believe will be runningit. It will be a bar serving Tapas , Nice Sandwiches and baguettes. This is his description!. I can assure you the loos have been sorted out and they look very smart. even have a disabled Loo. Hoping to open next week but still have some bits to do.

[sws97sdg]

Sounds great

[Nick]

I've heard all about the "famous" loos in the old place. Other than sticking my head through the door and being hit by a smog of fag smoke I never ventured inside so I suppose I'll always be left wondering exactly what the experience was like !!!

Mind you, they cannot have been worse than toilets I went into while passing through Israel and stopped to use some in a Bedouin camp many years ago !!!

Seriously though, it's got to be an improvement and thank god it's not another theme bar. Hopefully the tapas will be about as authentic as you can get locally.

[Sparky]

Well all i can say is ...i will be checking it out asap and am already thinking this may be a good place for forum meets this year, as long as the prices are competative .
