We've been home for two weeks now. Had a great week in Tenerife. Johnny and Julie are still going strong, the bar was busy, entertainment as good as ever. We didn't try any food but from the boards it looks like they have a varied choice of menu cooked from 5.30pm onwards. Role on February!

I visited this bar a couple of weeks ago on our first night so we were all tired and hungry, the food is nice well my burger was but other peoples curry didn't look too nice although if you like Indian you probably would have liked the curry. The entrainment was good although where a bit disappointed when the elvis tribute started making jokes about the kids killed in sweden !

We have seen Johnny many many times.
He has always been Professional, posing for Photos etc after His spot at various Locations.
I have never ever heard anything offensive from Him in that time.

He once announced I was a Lottery winner. That was a joke on Me, and accepted as such.,

I think Most would agree.

Johnjordan

Not very professional making jokes about incidents like that, i am sure you agree? It wouldn't have mattered as much if it was an 'offensive' joke about someone in the bar and they took it in their stride and accepted it. The worst thing was we were enjoying ourselves then he made this joke and we left. Yes, maybe most people will agree with you but i can assure you on the night he was offensive and totally unprofessional.

When we were there in September Johnnie & Julie had taken over the Mexican, serving food at night. The bar was alot busier than it had been in February and we thought Johnny was on top form the whole week we were there and did not find him offensive at all.

Thanks for that
I refuse to believe He COULD be offensive.
Ive known Him too long to even think it.
but wonder if it was another Elvis.?

I might see You Feb next.

Thats us home now start saving for next year, we had a great holiday. Sorry we missed you, we went down Thursday and Friday but Johnny said you had been in earlier in the week. Did notice they had a comedy Elvis on one night, wonder if he was the offensive one? We did not see him. Bar was busy most nights with the odd quiet night mainly because of the cold I think, people were not coming out. I think on the whole the resort was a lot quieter this year.

Lucky you! We've been coming to Tenerife for 6 years now and have been regular visitors to the Bay View. Johnny and Julie are excellent entertainers. I have a few relatives in Woodburn and originally stayed in Easthouses.

Sorry to miss You Scotty.
We have about 15 Years of Tenerife and known John for 13 or so.
As You said, it was cold and it affected the Number there I reckon.

I saw comedy Elvis in another Pub, for the second or third time.
Funny but nothing offensive at all.
Johnny was on a week's Cruise when We visited first week, so missed Him then

We had the chap who does Neil Diamond, Charlie Hodge, so enjoyed that too.

Didnt have much trouble acclimatising when We got back.
How about You.?

This is the first year we have had more cloudy days than sunny days, it did not spoil our holiday though. We saw Dion twice at the Bay View, he is really good, a thoroughly excellent show I would recommend to anyone. The first week he sang to an audience of 4 for most of his performance! There was my husband, me and another couple who came from Stirling, also Scotland. Frankie, the early singer at the Bay View also sat in the audience, it was extremely cold that night.
We were the same as you, we acclimatised quite easily however the colder weather this year won't stop me going back next year.

Hi Warbey and others, I've just been told by a friend who has just come back from Tenerife that the Bayview is closed again, can anyone confirm this?

Yes closed now, can sadly confirm that, i moved the previous tenants out of there, they had to leave the premises through no fault of their own, they were let down by other people that contributed to their demise.

Good luck to them with whatever they decide to do in the future! :)

I agree, not great news at all. Hopefully they can start again somewhere else as the shows each night were excellent.

warbey
04-05-2012, 19:54
It was quite a hike from where We normally stay, but nearly always worth it

I also consider John a Friend, with a nice group of workers to look after You

I too hope They re-surface soon. They usually do.

Thanks Scotty for the News.

Quite agree, they have picked themselves up before so hopefully they will do it again. Were you there at a different time this year? We were there our usual time 14th February but did not see you.

Hiya, We were in Adeje last month and couldn't believe how quiet it was compared to the last time we were there in September. Even our favourite bar ,The Bayview was closed, which was a bit of a downer as we've had some great nights in there.We did hear that there was a possibility of it reopening and we wondered if anyone had heard anything to this effect? We are coming out again at the end of August and it would be great to hear that it was up and running again. Cheers, Erica & Clive, the cruisers.

Johnny Kelly and Family have moved to a Bar by the Old Market a bit further down which I believe is going quite well

I dont know anything about the Bay View though.

As this thread has turned into an elvis thread, rather than a bar review I will close it until the new owners request it to reopen.
