A frequenter of PP for the last 25 years and have too seenmany changes but agree with all would rather spend time sat in Bonnys than in a bar in England - doesnt compare. We have hoped for the last few years to be in a position to buy an apt but cannot so all you who have managed this please dont moan think of the people who love it but cant own a property there - things change all over but the beauty of pp will always remain it for us and my family is pure class and beauty.

PP becoming too popular!We all have ourselves to blame.Who havent we told what a wonderful place it is over the years.It is not surprising that word has got out and multiplied.We should have kept our little secret.It is still a great place though and I hope we will still think so in another thirty years

The paper/ toy shop is off the square to the rear of Bonys, the Bag shop is on the square to the right of Bony's as you face it, standing in the square (or the trees if you wish to be specific

Back in the port for a couple of days now and only ventured out this morning ( driving rain, wind and quite cold so enjoy the UK weather , folks ). Walked past Bonys and got dragged in by Jose to see the new extension. Bar in old paper shop quite nice and could be a good venue for footie , eliminating the need to have TVs out on the street side. So what's changed ?

a) Council have banned Jose from all sweet throwing.

b) After discussion he has agreed to reduce drinks prices to 2007 levels. Believe the large spirits and mixers now under 5 Euros and other drinks reduced accordingly.

c) After complaints by front line businesses I think all restaurants in square have to reduce their outside "footprints" . Apparently the Square had become too popular and if you were paying top dollar for front line rates they were not happy bunnies.

So, time will tell. Also told Jose to clean up the "tacky " signs etc as he wanted my opinion.

Interesting to see how the year unfolds.

Thanks SWS, he wanted me ( seems to think I speak for all tourists ??? )to let you all know about his prices but I have my price as well and that's to criticise where I think it's due. Let's hope this place moves a little more upmarket this year . Time will tell .

Hi Bonyslad, didn't know about the sweet throwing being stopped but hubby was told that all bars/ restaurants in the square had to reduce their footprints so they are not allowed to encroach on the bench areas.

Went into bonys on thursday night .we were the only ones in, he must have taken pity as he gave us the drinks on the house.On the subject of bars, the old R bar has been taken over and will be called Nostalgia,s, the new owner assured me it will be a family pub with no loud music, serving food, sounds promising. The old internet cafe is now the Mouse Trap, run by a guy from Norway, it is NO SMOKING, he told me somebody came in with a fag hanging from his mouth and when he seen the sign walked back out again and said " good luck, you will need it" I hope he does well. Gary from Fletchers has went home for good and it re-opens today run by the Scottish couple from Tribeca.Lastly, Big Elvis starts back in Mulligans next weekend and has a new suit, which is good news as the last one was in danger of taking somebodys eye out if one of the button,s went. I do only go round the pubs in the interest of the forum. Its raining again, better go check out some more. GPM

Interesting to note the comments from bonyslad about the prices
this year.
At the end of march a "combinado" was still priced at €5.90 but with a 30% discount.
This changed on the 4th april to €5.90 less 15% disc0unt making it €5.00.
I understood this new discount was only till the end of april then the full price would apply again .we shall see !!

Senor,

I don't think so, will go in tomorrow ( probably to watch the Blues v Reds ) so will tell Jose that people are expecting these prices all season . That's what he told me last week.

Snowy,

Will do , Elton has agreed to do another show at the Vic this summer on the clear understanding that the money goes towards new players . Maybe Kaka will be in a Hornets shirt next season !!!!

Smiddy,

Phew, Thought I'd be definitely in the " sin bin " for the last post. Don't worry have forgiven all you Scots for bringing the English economy down, can you let us have a bit more oil at reduced prices as your so darned hot up there !!!!

[pollensa]

OK All in the Sin Bin.

Please keep this post on Bony's. You do have the Tapas Bar for footy etc...

Thank you.

Im of the understanding that some people get a 30% discount card all year round.

Pretty poor show IMO if correct.

All this talk of discounts remind me of a funny episode a couple of years ago, long before Corrie and your neighbour virtualy sitting on your lap. Friends of ours went every year and there used to be quite a crowd of them gathered round, chatting and enjoying the square every night. On their last night we joined them and Jose came across and announced that his boss had offered them free drinks for the evening as a thank you for being such good (profitable) customers. Thank you, kind sir, said the assembled multitude! Everybody had a splendid evening. The following night my friend asked me for about 20 euros to contribute to the the "kitty", this i duly gave him. It transpired that Jose's boss had only authorised 1 ROUND, poor Jose was in a terrible state scouring the Port looking for us all.

Rab,

Yes, he did last year for folks that frequented Bonys for most of the year. Of course, differential pricing is always wrong but it happens all over the place here. The guy is a business man like most providors here and they have to make their money during the season.

However, the price reductions to 2007 levels will apply to all. Be assured the local folk will not get discounts below this during the coming season.

Will probably pop in for the footy later in his new bar so will emphasise the point to him ( & check there are no tacky signs up !!!! ).

You mean different pricing like the other bar across the square that charges lower prices for locals.

 

[Gommar Goffer]

You quite often find that sitting at the bar gets you cheaper prices, i.e. no table service.

GG

 

[BonysLad]

You* mean different pricing like the other bar across the square that charges lower prices for locals.

Not true mate,*If you were to watch them operating they use the old yellow " Postit" system when you order and one per table is left on the bar until paid. Have never in all my years here seen these franked with a "F" for foreigner or "T" for tourist. Simply ain't true.*This pricing thing ( i.e. Bonys last year ) isn't a local versus tourist point, it's about frequency of use and happens all over where regulars get little perks.*Meself, I'm dying to get me hands on a Tesco Loyalty Card but alas not in the UK long enough now !!!!!BonysLad *

 

[Rangers1]

Strange that because someone on here in the past and a regular did state that different charges did happen. Just shows you should'nt believe everything you read mate and your right would be strange to write F or T on a post it note
