Lagos Algarve Portugal
Random musings, reflections, and shenanigans
Buy a bar in Lagos??
There is a saying in Lagos if you want to make a small fortune here bring a large one. Having a bar in the sun is probably a dream lots of people have but it will be hard work and it will be usually one without lots of profit, sure you will have an income and a life in the sun. What you don't want to do is arrive in town with the attitude that your bar will the best place in town and that you will be the busiest. Lagos is a community and a very small one and on the whole everyone gets on with their life and interacts in a friendly manner.
So one should join the Lagos family and not try to upset the great balance we have here, so what happened you might ask?
Soon a new, well old bar will reopen and the new owner has not really made a good impression, OK he is young probably got great ideas about what he wants to do with the bar but to go around and give the impression that the rest of the bars might well as give up, criticize the previous owners for their sexuality and indicate many of his friends wont use the bar because it is a gay bar, you have a bar you do your own thing but, and hopefully, you welcome everyone, it was not a gay bar. So a bit of advice to this knuckle head you are not going to be a success here with attitude like that.
Prediction, the bar you have, has not been a busy place for years and here at the blog we reckon another year another owner and another failure, hope you have big pockets
Rant Over
Stones have a nice new paint job, and still the best rock music in town.

the country is in debt so lets open a bar, Portugal's prime minister resigned over plans to cut debt like the rest of Europe and a bailout is on the cards and if you believe the Daily Express that going to cost the UK taxpayer £400 http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/236637 how they know this when the size of bailout has not been decided I don't know but hey, the UK taxpayers are footing another war to the tune of a few million a week a missile has a reported cost of 500,000 each http://www.channel4.com/news/libyan-campaign-is-costing-britain-millions-a-day so a bit a money to the the longest ally the Brits have had, is a drop in the ocean, which is looking nice today with a bit of sunshine!
Rant over, the new bar near the Tivoli Hotel and Luis bar is to be called McCabes, it has no windows and the ones it did have have been covered over, interesting idea when most places want customers to see inside before coming in, will this put people off?
Here is the big news the Hideaway has a new owner, another person who thinks they can make a success of a business that has failed many times. As regular readers will know, it not called the Hideaway for nothing, but we wish them luck and we will visit.
may I point you to an excellent local Lagos politics blog it is translated to English from Portuguese by google
