Kitty O' Shea's Irish Bar, Puerto Colon, Playa De Las Americas, Tenerife

[seanocelt]

After a mini re-incarnation near the Slow Boat, Kitty O Shea's is now the new name of the former "Terrace Bar" overlooking the beach at Puerto Colon , I.E. not in the commercial centre. Easy to see from the beach, Ronnie is running the bar, owned by Sean, (NOT ME!!!!) , with live music nightly and on Sunday afternoon. It is early days but the Kitty' s name is well known in the area, and it was busy enough this afternoon, only the 2nd Sunday. Pete (Ramblin!) Breen was on, other singers booked. And Paddy' Day just a wee bit away.

Better spot but does that leave another empty place next to Slow Boat where Alfies/Kitty O'Sheas occupied Port was quite enough when we visited Dec/Jan
even Slow Boat much quieter than for many years?

Last few Saturdays the Slowboat has been packed.

[bakerman]

is there any work in that area?

[seanocelt]

If there is work id say it would be PR-ing. The old part of the port has quite a few empty locales, the new part where the latest Kittys is has even more empty locales! Same amount of folks around,daytime anyway, but way too many premises. Like most of the South!i

Glad to hear that, thought the all inclusive bracelets and the (good) €7.95 Chinese buffets had won the crowds

Is Kitty's still alive and well? Heard Ronnie was no longer running the bar, hope Pete Breen is still coming back this winter, anyone know anything please?

[seanocelt]

Last i knew, the Kitty's sign was still up but the bar (Terrace Bar) was Russian owned. Not seeen Ronnie in ages. Heard Pete was going to play in Fosters Bar (Irish owned) in the port this winter.

[Red Devil]

Ok thanks for that - is Fosters a new bar? not heard of it, but pleased Pete is coming back at least.

If Ronnie is the one with a mohican, he is still about, seen him a few times around the Krystal Centre.

[seanocelt]

thats him.

Saw Ronnie (with Mohican - he´s a trendsetter!) early this morning at The Lounge (Used to be Hoppers) in Puerto Colon when I was out for my walk - he was setting up bar & terrace chairs.
The Terrace still has Kitty´s sign up but it´s as Irish as a Balaleika !

Cant place Fosters bar, any connection with The Lounge (and Ronnie) or am I just confusing the issue?:)

[seanocelt]

Fosters was /is right on the marina front, next to the bar where they smoke the big teapot thingies. Maybe thats the Lounge? Bars change names fast 'round here! Gound level around from Colon Beach.

Well they should enjoy a bit of Irish music floating in. Never been in it but saw a very good belly dancer there when passing.

Fosters under the spiral staircase, used to be a sports bar lately?

[seanocelt]

Yes i was in it (Fosters) a few weeks ago, manager from Cork, Joe. He was lloking for a musician and my mate was going to give it a go,Joe said Pete Breen was doing the winter. May have changed its name again!
