A few years ago we had a holiday in Magaluf and spent most evenings in a small music bar called the Casablanca. It was run by a country and western loving scot called Big Al and Leapy Lee also appeared there once a week.
I know that Big Al gave up this bar some time ago, but can anyone tell me if its still going, and under what name? Is it still as good as it was then? The bar was up near the Sol Guadaloupe.
I'm pretty sure that the Bar you refer to was broken down into 2 or maybe 3 bars - including what is now Mambos and Rendez-vous, near to Green Parrot.
Both those bars are now closed.

Thanks Goodfellow but I'm not sure you have the right bar in mind. The Casablanca was very small and couldn't have been broken down any further. It was just a few yards up from the Coach and Horses, heading toward the Sol Guadaloupe, and slightly lower than the pavement, I remember you had to go down a few steps onto a lower path that ran along the front of some businesses to reach the door. Is that where you had in mind? There were some bars further up and around the corner but I can't remember what they were called.
I don't personally remember the Casablanca, but I've heard from people who said there was an Entertainment Bar along that same strip that was broken down into two bars. I also believe that Mambos and Rendez vous were at one time connected into one bar, so I put two and two together.
It's certainly in the position you refer to - although the Coach & Horses is now an Amusement Arcade, and that strip includes Green Parrot, Helena's Mambo's. Rendezvous, British Chippy, Clem's (Windsor Bar), Mucky Duck, Mano's etc etc.
I'm sure some-one will be able to throw further light on your query.
Cheers

yep that was where it was just along from green parrot heading towards guadaloupe been closed several years now.(i went to see leapy there!)
I'm kind of saddened to think that the Coach and Horses is now an amusement arcade, what a shame. The Casablanca was a great little place so I'm sorry thats gone too. Sounds like they are just trying to appeal to the younger set now. Benidorm here I come!
You obviously haven't been to Magalluf for years and years, yet because two bars have closed, you've decided to holiday somewhere else. Do you think these bars can survive on customers who visit once in a blue moon?
You're welcome to Benidorm - give my regards to the Eastern European Gypsies on every street corner.
