Mulligans closing?

[Sparky]

As i said Bonyslad, i want to see more Mallorcan bars and restaurants I came here to get away from the British way of life but that doesn't mean i have to completely avoid all of the British bars. Sometimes it's nice to pop in for a drink and catch up with friends. Don't you do that sometimes?.
BTW the Irish bars and Tex Mex are all owned and run by local people.

Thanks for pointing that out Saprky, I think sometimes people forget that

One thing has always puzzled me,the majority of visitors to the port express a desire to eat local food and sample "authentic bars and restaurants" so why do so many mallorquins open British,Irish,Asian & American themed establishments?

 

[sws97sdg]

The answer is that the majority don’t just want that, thats why these places are nearly always full, the majority on here agree with you, and so do I, but thats different, we are but a small subsection of the people who go to the Port.

Yes it is strange isn't it, but they seem to be making money . I have been told the only reason Mulligans is up for sale is because the people who own the building have doubled the rent . But as always it's like chinese whispers.

If i could find where its advertised i would be interested in buying the bar and keeping it as it is so if anyone sees it advertised let me know.

I suggest you email/contact directly if you are interested in purchase. You will save the commission which will be at least 5% hidden in the asking price if you go via an agency. Alot of money to find just for someone to make a phone call to introduce you as a potential purchaser.
If the business is not for sale they will soon tell you so and if it is they will be happy to receive your interest.
Just my opinion.

 

[Sparky]

I can confirm that is for sale privately, no agent involved.
Rangers i have sent you a PM.

Thanks for pointing that out Sws, didn't realise that the locals were clever enough as to spot " Tourist Mug " at fifty paces plastered all over their foreheads and might want a piece of the action !!!!

Sparky,

Yeah, I like to sometimes but been banned from most joints for speaking my mind !!!!

Peru,

If Nostalgia is such a great asset to the Port, please describe in words of two syllables what it is ??

Bonyslad, i have just spent an hour in JK's and Kev asked me to tell you that he read your post and you are not banned there and he looks forward to seeing you soon .

The comment that the only reason it is closing is that the rent is being increased by 50% interests me, from a professional perspective

A 50% increase sounds like the lease is up for renewal, in which case anyone thinking of buying the business had better be very careful, because without a lease in place there is no business to buy. If it is a review of rent, I cannot see how that sort of increase could be justified, unless eitehr the initial rental was far too low; or the proposed figure is geared to turnover, in which case the existing owners have been coining it over the past years.

Hi Allanglens, i am sorry, i could have worded that comment better. Someone had said the rent had risen by 50%, this is not true, it was a rumour which is why i said it was like chinese whispers.
There are, apparently, 4 years left on the lease, of course then the rent would have to be renegotiated. A few businesses have closed or moved because rents been raised by too much when leases are due for renewal.
I hope this is clearer.
