When i went to the island last week i noticed that cafe mambo have banned people from bringing there own drinks and sitting in front of the bar at sunset !!!

this is a bit disgusting in my opinion and i thought mambo was the better of the sunset bars went there friday 17th june to see pete tong and there was a big sign say no pre bought drinks allowed on this beach !!

and there were people conviscating them from you

me being the pikey i am just went and sat outside cafe del mar instead shame thou it was one of the best sunsets i had seen :-(

Y have mambo taken this stance its not as if theres laods of tables empty cause everyone is sitting on the beach its just a ploy to make more money and imo is spoilling some of the magic !!
 
you mean in the rocks?
I allways go to Café del Mar so I imagine you mean in the rocks, in front of the bar. If you were drinking in the rocks, that is a public property, , I don't remember how many meters is from the edge of the rocks to inside, but I do not think that they can come and take you drinks away, this is something similar as if you went to a beach and you werent allowed to bring you own picnic and you had to eat from the beach bar., this unthinkable. By the way who are this people to come and take something away from you, are they the police?
What their was doing I do not think is legal. I don't know exactly the regulation but I do know the principles in wich there are inspired, that are that beach and rocks ( x meters) is public and belongs to everybody.
Another question is that you feel you have to have a drink or so from the bars that in the strip are providing you the music and the feeling, but sometimes you just don't have the money.
Cheers.
 
As I say, I know how it is in Cafe del Mar, in Café del Mar I see they have a bar with chairs and a terrace, and after there is the rocks, where people sit down on the floor, on the rocks, I think this part of the rocks is public property, this is why many people bring their own drinks. I know from the edge of the rocks towards inside there is an amount of meters that are considered public property.
I do not know how it is in Mambo cafe, but if it is like in Cafe del Mar it sounds very strange for me that all the part of the rocks till the edge is ocupated by a bar, unless they have an administrative concesion the same as a beach bar and they let them ocupated all the rocks untill the edge wich really sound very strange, there is normally an amount of meters to people be able to pass. This is what I think. Maybe I am mistaken, and maybe Mambo Cafe has an administrative concession on all the rocks in front of them but for me doesn't sound logical. But as I say I have never been in Cafe mambo so maybe is different that what I have seen in Café del Mar.
Cheers.
 
they let u drink on the rocks infront of mambo i been there allmost every day, just dont sit on there chairs or go into mambo itself with ur drinks!
 
i went there a week last friday and they would not let you bring your drink on the rocks in front of the bar !!

maybe it was just that one night but i still think its a disgrace !!
 
I read somewhere recently that Mambo actually owned that stretch of beach. I thought it sounded wrong, but it might be true given your experience.

Simple solutions - sit on another part of the beach, or buy your drinks from Mambo!

btw, this is nothing new. last year they already had a guy (brian) checking that people dont bring the drinks from somewhere else. the difference is that this year they also have that sign :!:
 
yep, happened to me last year and this year. They should realise that if they didn't charge 8euros for an alcoholic drink then maybe people wouldn't buy the same drink from the supermarket for 2euros and drink it outside.
 
How much of the sea do they own then? A straight line 7 metres wide all the way to mainland Spain?
 
Think it's a good idea IF it cuts down on the amount of rubbish people leave there...

Sometimes, it's an absolute disgrace the amount of crap some people dump along that whole strip... :evil: :evil: :evil:
 
At the Essential Selection broadcast on August 12 the friendlist people the whole time were a girl and her boyfriend from Ireland or up North somewhere - and they were standing in front of the DJ booth with a duffel bag FILLED with their own booze (and I mean, a lot). I stood watch for them for a little while and got some Bacardi Ice for my efforts!

I don't know if they were caught - think they incited the ban? :?:

Ditto - it's a disgrace how people treat that area and for that reason I think it's completely ok to ban bottles on the beach.
 
I think Mambo's and the other bars have a responsibility to clean up the mess on the beach? Or if they don't they feckin well should have! Mambo esp if they're enforcing this policy as it means that any bottles left on the beach will def have come from them.
 
I suppose if it's only mambo bottles on the beach then mambo has a responsibility to clear the fckers up !! :D

big pet hate of mine, is litter. especially on beaches.
