Nerja Nightlife

Fanriffic, always has been, I just love the pic on the wall with all the beer barrels, totaly groovy. Met Elvis in here tis time and he told us of another establishment where music was played, he said it was a long way off but if we paid for the taxi he would guarentee us a night of exotic splendor never before realised in this life time, we said ok. He took us to Nerja Unplugged. It was miles away, by taxi, but stumbling distance on foot.
Also in Irish Annies this time, the best acoustic duo I've seen in yonks! Not sure what they were called but dem was fab.

Dress Code: Little green shorts, beards compulsary for ladies.

British Bar.
A relatively new bar to open is The Andrea Inn. This used to be a German bar but is now very much a British Bar.

Opened on New Years day 2005, I was one of the first to go in. The owner being from Cornwall, I suggested Cornish pasties on the menu might be a good money spinner. He took me at my word and his pastries are now known all over Nerja. Not bad considering that his trade is a construction worker !

Beer is San Miguel on draught or in bottle and wines are the very tasty Liria Red (Tinto), White (Blanco) or Rose (Rosado). Guinness is available in 'widgit' cans.

A true cullinery story:

Pasties can travel well. A couple were in the Chapel bar, near to the Andrea and Mrs. X thought that her husband (Mr. X) had drank enough. He disagreed so she took his beer from him. He had just bought a pastie from the Andrea and it was wrapped in foil. Mr. X tried to regain his beer when his better half decided to hit him with the pastie. Still this did not work so she threw it at him.
He ducked.Not being stupid, he took the oportunity and left, and we looked for where the pastie had got to. It had bounced off the front window and then disapeared. We eventually found it in someones jacket pocket where the rickochet had delivered it.
So who says pasties can't travel. The pastie was unbroken and still edible as Mr. X found out when it was presented for his tea ! If anyone doubts this story, please ask at The Andrea Inn.

Price range:
Good value for money.
Atmosphere:
A favourite with British ex Pats. Good chat and a cosy feel.
Theme:
Cosy British pub. Definately worth a visit or two.
Opening times:
From mid day until late.
Disabled notes:
Level access but toilets are too narrow for a wheelchair.

This bar has changed hands recently, but fear not. I know who the new proprieter is ---ME !

Dress Code: Very casual.
(BTW. Pasty throwing is optional).

Splendid, super, smathing, great, cosmic, tremendous, rather more than slightly brill and a bit good as well. The cocktails.............Elvis loves the cocktails, Elvis says "try the cocktails" when Elvis says....ya gotta try it. There was a fantastic picture on the wall of plies and piles of beer barrels, proper art that!. Sandwiches are good as well. All in all, fanrific, as hong kong phoey will attest.

Dress Code: Cowboy hat and a bin bag

Elvis told me he gave up music becuase the house band were so good, then he had some Guiness and started again! Fantastic band, the drummer is like awsome dude! Always busy, well both time we ventured in. Elvis's favorite curry house just up the road. Could it be any easier to fall off the wagon of self improvement, mineral water and sensiable eating habits? No, it could not.

Dress Code: Leather jump suit

Elvis told me to visit this place, remember he's never wrong. It's dead good, spacious inside, spacious outside, loads of room. Big screen telly thing, pool table, cocktails(I think........) good beer, good place. Marks out of ten..super fab and groovy. Also it has portraits of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown (between the legs of the dog, look close and you shall see!) Elvis often frequents this establishment and can be found speaking to the horse in the rear!

Dress Code: Gold lame cape and cane.

Bar Bogey, what a find... went there many times. Owned by Pepe (of course) ran by Francisco!!! Two guys with moustaches!! The more we went in the cheaper the drinks were!! Love these two guys!!! Closes about six to eight in the morning depending on how many people are there! Gay decor, gay people, This place is GAY! but bloody fun! Oh yeah Gary copped off with a 'girl' over Six foot tall, hairy arms, big adams apple! (photos to follow if I can get them off Gary). After Bar Bogey Pepe and Francisco always took us to another watering hole! Think they had different ideas!!! And Sean had a knife pulled out on him... the guy said 'i was just showing him the size of the blade' strange!

British Bar
The latest bar to reopen is the Hideaway which used to be called the Robin Hood after closure and then just run by the Spanish owner whilst waiting for a buyer.

It has changed its name which is well suited to this bar as it is hidden away to some decree in Plaza Marina. They do have to pay the town hall to change name, however.

At first glance, this is a narrow bar but it opens out into a large room towards the back where the dining and function room used to be. There is a small terrace at the front of the bar for the warm weather with tables and chairs. As this is in effect a square that has a small childrens park in the middle, not much traffic interferes with the pavement terraces. So no fear of busy street noise.

I am informed that this place now specialises in English food. Roast dinners and traditional breakfasts here.

Price range:
A little above the average.
Atmosphere:
Unknown.
Theme:
Olde Worlde.
Opening times:

Disabled notes:
Too narrow for wheelchairs.

Dress Code: Casual.
