Being nosey.
How is the Carvoeiro bar doing these days ( arguably the best bar in the area ) now that Jokie and Hans have left?
I was told it would be British staff?

Has Hans left? I thought he was still trying to sell? It is closed for holidays for the moment.

Finally...

After some delay as they had quite an extensive exhaust sytem installed, Carvoeiro will reopen tonight!

Hurray!!!

Does this mean that you can smoke inside their bar then?

They must be pretty sick. I spoke to Joke last summer and she was marking time to go as she thought it was sold. Pretty hard to mentally stimulate yourself to continue when she was mentally out of there.

Yep, but having seen the system at work yesterday, I'm pretty sure it will not bother the non-smokers. It is a very professional installation, that works both ways; pumping air out and fresh air in at the same time.

That is good news - my OH uses this bar every time he is Cvo and as he travels over the winter, being able to smoke indoors will cheer him up no end!

Why is it the best bar in the area? is it because its like an English bar, wood and brass, surely other bars have a little more to offer, so why the best?, I personally like the place and drink there a lot and I like the owners.

You answered your own question! The owners are lovely.

They never forget the music you like - my choice of music comes on the minute you come in even after not seeing them for a year. They have an enormous selection of music.

I personally dont see it as an English bar - very dutch - check out the wonderful dark wood carved gantry. Brass? Don't recall that.

Great location for falling out to restaurants as I like a few in the immediate vicinity.

Very warm feel to the place.
