Have you visited a bar, club or restaurant on the Costa Blanca which you would like to recommend to other members ? If so, this is the place to do it.

Please give as much information as possible, including resort name, location, happy hours, quality of service, choice of menu, etc.

Is there a particular performer or show which you really enjoyed , or do you have a question about a specific venue or act ? If so, please post here.

Alternatively, if you have visited an establishment which you feel might be best avoided, please tell us here too. But please do not mention any staff by name, or your post may have to be removed.

I expect that most recommendations will be for places in Benidorm, but we would also welcome feedback on any of the neighbouring resorts.

Many thanks
David

There's a new Weslife tribute band in Morgans, don't know if they're good 'cause haven't been to see them ( Sunday was their first night) Dave and Will from words and music, Johnny from tribute to swing (Jokers and also karaoke at the New Yorker) and seemingly an Irish guy who we don't know, are the members.
Words and Music are still doing spots together though

We go to Benidorm 6 weeks today too!!

Cant wait - can anyone recommend some places to go - we like soul/northern soul & motown.

Looking forward to some sunshine - just want to chill out during the day and at night go for some nice meals and then a few drinks & some decent entertainment.

Neil Ross is on at Midnight each evening at the Talk of the Coast, after the Mad Maori and before Moff.

I saw his show 3 times during my holiday from which I'm just back and he is an amazing singer and a lovely person to talk to.

three years ago my wife (girlfriend at the time until I proposed while we were away) and I had a brilliant time in Benidorm. Much of that time was spent in the Wooky Hollow bar. We loved the staff, atmosphere and the entretainment at night was superb. I believe this bar is now unde new manegement, has much/anything changed? Is it is still a Liverpool bar?

I agree Neil Ross is really good, im going on Thursdayand will certainly be seeing his act 2 or 3 times. Is Moff back at the Talk of the Coast as well now then. He used to be there and then moved to the UK Bar under the Presidente Hotel. Someone told me Johnny Kalendar was at the Talk of the Coast as well now?

Best Regards - Taggy

PS - Iain ive sent you a pm.

Moff plays Talk of the Coast every night at 01:15, he plays Cafe Benidorm some nights at 10:45 and is also part of an act called The Rockman and Her (Christina Rae) who play the Western Saloon some evenings at 10pm. They do songs by acts like Europe, Free, Rainbow, Fleetwood Mac etc and as you would expect a couple of Queen songs as well. I found it a good show to watch but they are very loud for that establishment.

I never saw anyone called Johhny Kalendar listed on the boards for Talk of the Coast.

Cheers

Thanks Iain...I quite like Moff too and am glad he's back at the Talk of The Coast, i prefer it to UK Bar. I can well imagine them being very loud in the Western Saloon, thats a pub i also like. Moff also used to do a double act with the chap from The Maxx, they were called Statuz Quo. He looked wierd in a curly blond wig!!! :lol:

Best Regards - Taggy

We are going out in 6 weeks too, but will have our 10 year old grandson with us. We are young at heart though, and looking for good entertainment, but suitable for kids. Any recommendations for child friendly places in the evenings? (never been to Benidorm and looking forward to it)

The Wooky on Calle Gerona has been taken over and day by day it's becoming less of a Liverpool bar. The Wooky 2 is much better and Carol & Brian still own that. One of the acts (John Wardale) has taken a 5 year lease on the Wooky 1 but it will be back with Carol & Brian in 3 years time when hopefully the original acts will return but for the time being Freddie Joyce and Leah are working across the road in the bar that was called Carriages (I think??). Ian Robinson who used to work there is now in the Showaddywaddy tribute band in one of the bigger venues.

As you probably guessed I am (was) a big Wooky fan :lol:

England Match 08/09/07

Hi, havent been to Benidorm for a couple of years and was after some suggestions for the best place to watch the England match next Saturday, fly over on Thursday and am staying in the Old Town so wont have much time to look around before Saturday. Quite happy to get taxis so if the best places will be in the new town we'll head over there.

Thanks
Max

You could go to the Beer Barrel Pub which is part of the Queens hotel. Large flat screen TV's, but quite pricey beer IMHO.

There is also the Stretford End, Poniente, near the Jaime 1, and Sherry's right near the point. They nearly always have sports on TV.

I'm not a big sports fan so someone else will probably have much better suggestions for you.
