this workers party happened yesterday.....

On the 27th however we will be holding our first very messy affair!!!!!!!!! The Dirty Rotten Slut Party Returns to Blue Impact for an afternoon Porno Shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember the first one well not only do we have the massive terrace but we should have our own private pool open for all the underwater shots!!!!!! Sluts WHERE ARE YOU?????????

..... and it was a very messy affair indeed. just to give you an idea, theres a video recorded with a camera phone circulating around which includes a scene with six girls (workers, not models or something) eating each other out!!

and they promise that the next one (this sunday) will be even more outrageous than last time!!

as you might remember, the lounge/bar ancient people in playa den bossa closed in 2003 (two years later, after one season closed, it turned into passage) and the people who used to run it opened in 2004 bling bling in sa penya. well, yesterday i noticed that what during many years was the shop altamira in avda. espanya 32 (before they moved to the other side of the road) is now the new ancient people

and talking about bling bling.....

sshh ssssshhhhh.....

top secret ..... i have been told that trop's in the west end will turn into a lap dancing bar.....

yes yesssss ..... apparently something to do with secret garden. see you there?

boobiiiiies

what used to be trop's opens this week as the lap dancing bar the sin!! 8)

the only connection with the two bars is that the sin is managed by an ex-doorman and an ex-waiter of secret garden!!

the new record shop 92db (c. manuel sora 17 1st floor, almost opposite the erotic shop the bedroom) opened recently and its managed by the legendary alfredo and his son jaime fiorito!! 8)

a new record shop opened last week in ibiza town: industria (c. bartolome vicente ramon 28, just around the corner from m15), run by jonathan tena (electrofunk@laroom, muzik on@lola's, elektra@somny) and pepo lanzoni (la comunidad@space). this one, like vinyl club, is specialized in vinyl and minimal so if you are a vinyl junkie into minimal/chungie-chungie/grinding-drug-noise sounds you will love it!!

angels of love in conjuction with test pressing records are opening a new record shop in the port area (near burger king in avda. santa eulalia) which will be managed by hush resident miss divine. although pacha mag says its already open, its expected to open on july 10th. talking about the coolest bar in san antonio, a little bird tells me that test pressing records might be hosting wednesdays at hush!!

...miss divine...

as you might remember, last summer the old el chupito in the port turned into penelope puerto..... no penelope also means no penelope puerto. the bar is now el chupito again

and penelope shop, at the left, is now the bar banana!!

the bar stick in es pratet has changed of name and its now called tro bar

caprabo was in the news at the beginning of the year because of their problems to open their first shop on the island, in the new vila parc center near can misses to be exact. back then it was reported that they had to reduce the metres in order to get the opening license (from 870 to 415).......... a friend who works in the new bowling center (which opened last friday) told me that almost one year later they still have license problems because now they have 1000 metres ( ! ). apparently if they reduce it to 800 they will be able to open in january. apart from the new bowling center (owned by the guy behind cine cartago and the multicines), the sirenis group offices (owned by matutes) opened long time ago and the cam bank (owned by the devil too) opened recently!!

caprabo grand opening party: july 7th!!

their promotional truck, which has been during the whole moring around ibiza town announcing the opening, one hour ago parked next to the post office:

on a curious note.....

the artist augusto banegas is involved in the design of the new kanya!!

after 65 years open the restaurant formentera in the port (famous for its borrida de ratjada) has closed its doors!!

a little bird just told me that it has been rented to pizza hut who will open their 6th restaurant in ibiza next year. as you might know already, the other five are in playa den bossa, west end and av. dr fleming in san antonio, santa eulalia and av. ignacio wallis in ibiza town (btw, the last three are open during the winter). on a curious note, the owners of the franchise in ibiza are the same people behind casino ibiza (and yes, also the future 5-star sal ibiza gran hotel)!!

the new pizza hut opens on july 5th!!

..... the extravagant augusto banegas decorated the new pizza hut and it looks quite nice (one of his most famous works is the mexican restaurant tijuana in san antonio). btw,, augusto is the brother of enrique banegas, director of the casino and the company franquicias ibiza (pizza hut, the future dunkin donuts, etc)!!

what used to be the mao rooms (the lounge bar in c. d'emili pou 6, now owned by el divino), which remained closed this summer because they didnt have time to finish the reforms inside, will reopen next summer as el divino lounge!!

http://www.spotlight-forums.com/showthread.php?t=22127

the works at what-used-to-be-the mao rooms started this week

even if its not completely finished yet, i have been told that tonight they have an opening party for-friends-only. apparently the name has been changed to something like eivissa lounge!!

erm, ibz lounge!!

ibz lounge had an opening party for friends last night and should be open for everybody around the 1st of june!!

it opened last night. btw, the party for friends of last week it was a kind of pre-party for the dirty diamonds event in barcelona (with bruno, gianluca de tiberiis and miguel garji)..... not a big surprise that they chose this venue as the manager of ibz lounge is christopher kean, the man behind the infamous invite-only parties!!

very random but here is a picture taken at the beginning of may, when they were preparing to open.....

reunion and shanti shakti updates.....

surprise surprise. remember these two stories

the restaurant fusion (next to hostal la marina, known in the past as zenith cafe and gecko) only lasted one summer and is for lease

copied from swiss taff's post:

I have news of a new bar/lounge opening on Puerto de Ibiza called "REUNION" address is C/Barcelona 11. More info to follow

c. barcelona 11 is what used to be fusion so there you go!!

the new reunion opened this saturday

another place that, apparently, has closed for good is the indian restaurant shanti shakti in figueretas

getting ready to reopen, now as the bar/restaurant duo!!

duo opens next friday

last time i passed in front of reunion, two weeks ago or so, i noticed that they were painting the interior walls pink..... ..... same colour than the walls of the disappeared shanti shakti. well, seems like reunion only lasted a few weeks and its now the new location for shanti shakti. taken from the ibiza sun:

Shanti Shakti Comes To Town
Restaurant Shanti Shakti has started the season with a new location in Ibiza Old Town, situated in the port next door to La Marina Hotel. On Friday night we were able to sample excellent Indian Cuisine and fine wine in a traditional atmosphere before relaxing and enjoying the harbour view in the more contemporary décor on the first floor.

reunion has re-located to c. cipriano garijo 16 (next door to base bar)

like when it was located in c. ramón muntaner, shanti shakti continues inviting different djs every now and then

as you might remember, last summer nación tierra in sa penya turned into honey and even opened with that name a few weeks this winter as an after-hours. well, the bar is now nación tierra again

their new logo:

 

[McRackin]

‘Bar Red’, after a reasonable effort (of three years?) has closed with no new owners officially announced. Some say it is to become apartments… Some that it is reopening with a more relaxing terrace, in keeping with its location…

bar red is now called red lounge!!

the bar izay in marina botafoch got rid of the live jazz/blues/rock concerts and turned into a piano bar
