The Bars Of SS

[Gavlah1973]

Hi Guys

Just been reading the various topics re Bar 38, Condor etc.

What kind of bar is each bar if that makes sense. For example - more drink led than food led, shows live sport, has a DJ, plays music via Ipod/CD, has live bands etc etc

Cheers

Athens Bar - Live sport and great tunes via Cd with the odd live act. My favourite by far.

Great night in the new el greco last night with Groucho at the mike  Looking forward to The Carnival tonight in Athens Bar. Saw them last year and was really pleased that we have managed to catch them again! Also they are back again on monday...rocking  in Athens!!!!

Hi shellbel , where is the el Greco please?

[Gavlah1973]

What time do the bands normally come on?

I like to lounge round the pool till around 5ish, have a beer, go get changed then have a swifty at the pool bar before heading off for tea around 8 - 8.30

Hi Gavlah, from what I can remember from 2008 it was usually around 10pm.
Being a Northerner, I too will be having ' tea' and not dinner of an evening.
I am so looking forward to 20th August, got most of my euro's now, clothes all ironed and waiting to be packed.

Where you flying from lilly?

We go on the early morning flight from Stockport International Airport!!

We're stopping in the Crown Plaza the night before

And it's definately Brekkie, Lunch and then Tea (dinner only comes into play on Sundays when you are allowed to call it Sunday dinner!!)

We are on the 8.05am from Stockport international too[Manchester airport].
We live in Trafford near to Altrincham so it is only 20 minutes away in a taxi.
How are your knees bearing up? If you need a firemans lift onto the plane then let me know and hubby will carry you.
I will be scanning the plane for a man in high heels and lippy.

We've booked a lounge at the Airport. The missus gets 3 per year free with her bank. All we have to do is pay £15 for me!! I'll make sure I drink that in Champagne alone!

Really cant wait now, it's strating to drag. Just need two weeks in the Sun. Looking forward to lots of wine and nice Greek food

The knees a lot better, I bit the bullet and went to the gym early last week. It's been hard work but I think I've managed to run it off. By Sunday I'll have managed 5 times this week!

We used one of the airport lounges in 2007 before our 6pm flight to olu Deniz, Turkey.
Hubby was in paradise, all those drinks/snacks freely available. Not bothering this year due to early morning flight, don't think I could face alcohol at 6am, probably have some wine on the plane though.
Good to see you are back at the gym. Been doing lots of cycling and walking myself.

Right, back on topic.

SS bars -
The Condor, our regular haunt - anything goes in here - good food, TVs, tribute acts, karaoke and music from the DJ into early hours, plus loads of games machines at the back.

Three W bar - live music on Sundays, nothing much else

athens bar - didn't venture in but seems to be a favourite of many on here  - mainly music i think
Hotel Thomas Bay - live music, karaoke, quizzes, food
Silver Star bar - chilled out, beer, + an awful 60s tribute by a cheesy guy called Jerry James a couple of times/night - sorry but some of the regs regard him as some kind of SS hero - dreadful.

Any reports of Bar 38 this year??

[Jimbo]

I can report that Bar 38 is there.

El Greco is the new Bar Code!
Bar 38 is superb. Hilary done a tremendous job.

Just a quick note from me as I am off to the Little Prince for dinner.

Everything here is as great as ever, the beach is improving all the time and the weather is perfect, will do a full feedback when I get back but a have an appointment with a sizzling steak so must sign off!
