Could be Abaco in Palma?

 

[Belladonna]

Thats the one I had in mind too stoofer, although I think they are lacking in the chandalier department!

OOOpps..

Thanks for replies...some time ago I whatched a couple of Holiday progs. ....presented by minor celebs.....they both featured Palma. The place in question had very large wooden doors at the entance, the lights may well have been the large round iron typical Spanish type with 5 / 6 lights around it...other than that I'm afraid I cant say more...except..if I saw it I'd know it

thanks again ian

It was Abaco, it is beautiful inside but the drinks are extortionate & not brilliant.

A friend celebrated her anniversary there a couple of weeks ago, and had the same verdict Cumberland! Well worth the visit - just to say you have been - but don't go expecting to get drunk!!

Hi..again...Is there some sort of dress code at "Abaco"...where exactly is it? thanks Ian

 

[cumberland8]

No dress code,facing the main square on the city side of the seafront road about 300 yards down the right hand corner street, huge 15 ft barn doors on the right, usually open .

Abaco! I have tried to take my husband there many times, so last winter when we spent three weeks in pp over Xmas and my parents gave us a gift of a night in palma (while they had the boys for us) it was my number one spot to visit.
After a fab day doing all the touristy things, cathedral, bus tour etc, followed by a swim at the hotel, we forced ourselves to walk back into town, just especially to have a drink at Abaco and admire the surroundings, child free (a novelty).
Well, after a walk through the beautiful old streets and working up quite a thirst, we rounded the corner for me to proudly present... A closed Abaco! For the next ten days!!!

We found a great little tapas bar around the back of the cathedral somewhere - it is called l'Ambigu bar on Carrer Carnisseria - they have a facebook page for contact details

 

[ipri]

Great...just what I'm looking for. We have seen that last time so We know where it is. We went to a place just down from here....very nice too...next to the open fronted bookshop run by a nutty Londoner!!

Is there still a bus down to Port de Valldemossa ... we walked it to the lovely fish restaurant at the bottom.. never again!! Got a lift back up!
