Hi guys,

Friends have informed us of this new bar which has just opened in Cita centre just near Comeback.

Sounds like an understated meet bar.

Live to hear feedback and if they have a profile on here.

Here now, not seen it.

But think some bars are jumping on the swingers meet up place.

The wall signs outside Cita are festooned with swingers meet up places...

Oh okay. Believe it only opened last Wednesday so is brand new.

Think it's good another meeting bar has opened in Cita, just gives yet another option to check out

There was a Bulldog Bar on Avenida de Tirajana, not sure if they may have moved to Cita or a new venture? Looking forward our holiday planned for late Christmas/New Year, would be interested in any feedback too xx

Apparently upstairs, near Comeback Bar.

Cita did need another meet bar to complement the brilliant Before, Comeback and Klamotte bars

Had a wander to the basement level.

Bit grim.

VIP bunnies club with an ATM outside.

They have a massive limo parked up and photos on the wall of the club showing large jacuzzi with scantily clad young, drop dead gorgeous ladies cavorting in the water.

The reality was 2, not young, not gorgeous, Spanish grannies in tight fitting black plastic mini skirts, squeaking away as they attempted to walk around.

Some bloke with them trying to persuade passing single guys as to the pleasures that lay within, after they had been to the aforementioned ATM of course.

Always mug punters around.

Yeah that side of the basement is a bit run down. Always thought the lapdancing place Bunnies was just a knocking shop surely.

Don't get groups of pissed young lads in Cita to make a lapdaning bar pay

Tried this bar last night, very friendly hosts, small but very classy bar! Even has a pole in the middle! Shorts served in nice glasses, premium drinks, e.g. 2 Bombay Gin & Tonics 10 Euros, the cheapest we have had at night! Will definitely return, it’s only been open a month & they deserve to do well! Mixed nationalities.

Spent 3 evenings at the Black Bulldog and have to say that it’s an ok meeting place with great friendly staff.

However, they tolerate smoking in the small bar which makes it an unpleasant place to be. So if going home smelling like an old ash tray isn’t your thing , then maybe here is not for you.

The quickest way to get there is upstairs and turn right at the Mach Bar, then at the end of the walk is Heikes. Turn left and it’s three/four bars on the left. Plenty of Dortmund flags, so you’ll know you’re in the right place.

Think the same bouncer type bloke or at least someone meeting that description was there 2 wks ago too and trying to block solo guys going in. The place seemed very kicking with a younger and louder crowd and very smoky due to its confined location on a back corridor so perhaps not for the maturer crowd!.

Very small and crowded,not really ideal for a meeting place.

We much prefer the Comeback.

Just our opinion though.

The place is usually so busy it’s impossible to get into. You have to be early and then be prepared to squeeze in like sardines.

It’s a beautiful and well presented but small bar. The staff are lovely and drinks are great (the music can be a hit or a miss for us). They’ve created an atmosphere or something that folk seem to love. If only there were more bars like that.

We liked the Black Bulldog and look forward to visiting again next month to see how it compares to our visits last year.

We know what you mean. We really enjoyed having the Imagine Bar at the Cita and had many a great night there.

Fortunately the guys are still around and have “re-imagined” their bar at the Yumbo with Studio 69, which we’re very much looking forward to.

Fair comments about BB.

Very much if your name’s not down, you’re not getting in.

Joking aside. It can be a nightmare to get in and if they haven’t got room for you, it’s a blatant no. Sometimes it may come across rude, but maybe it’s a culture thing.

However, once you’re in, it is a great place. Staff are super friendly and do go out their way to ensure you’re happy.

The one night we didn’t get in, there were three reserved tables, and they turned down 8 of us. We learnt that those tables remained empty.

I did chat with them and explained that turning down 8 drinkers isn’t the greatest business model when there are empty tables. They did say the night before ask to reserve a table, especially with bigger numbers. So people may want to take this into account if they want to attend this delightful little bar.

However, the way I see it is I’m on holibobs, I’m not reserving a place for just a drink (restaurant maybe but not for a bar). If I don’t get in because it’s too busy, then there’s plenty of other places in close proximity in the Cita that will not turn down my custom, namely Comeback and Before. I’ll just go another night.

But if I did feel to the point they were just blatant rude, then I certainly wouldn’t attend. And if it happened frequently, I’m sure word would get around and reputation compromised.

Well i was there last week . I didn’t have to book a table. The place was buzzing the staff on the ball.I was with a non fabber , a great place to start the evening ,before going to my favourite Club “Eden “as the staff and the ambiance of the club are always top notch.Every evening in PDI is different one has to go with the flow.

We went in March and again in April.

We love this bar.. It’s so much fun! Good music, lots of happy people having a blast in full on holiday mode.

We felt very welcome.

Single guys could definitely go in on their own as we saw several and a group of guys too.

We also told the bouncer a guy was meeting us there and there were no issues. Never had to book a table and it was always very busy.

Maybe they’d had the police visit and told to keep numbers down..

They did say the night before ask to reserve a table, especially with bigger numbers. So people may want to take this into account if they want to attend this delightful little bar.

However, the way I see it is I’m on holibobs, I’m not reserving a place for just a drink (restaurant maybe but not for a bar). If I don’t get in because it’s too busy, then there’s plenty of other places in close proximity in the Cita that will not turn down my custom, namely Comeback and Before. I’ll just go another night.

But if I did feel to the point they were just blatant rude, then I certainly wouldn’t attend. And if it happened frequently, I’m sure word would get around and reputation compromised."

We visited on a couple of Nights in April and had great craic....to be honest, I don't think Fabsters make up that much of their clientele(probably more Joyclub), so doubt a bit of bad press on Fab would bother them too much. It has one of, if not he best vibes of the Cita Bars and people will go regardless...it also has the cheapest drinks too. Oh and different 'bouncers' on the nights we went and both were dead on. Just an account of our experiences of course

Well I take back everything good I said about this place I just arrived today and pop round for a drink and to see if any friends were around and was blocked from going in by a bouncer he told it was couples only so I won't be back and if im meeting any friends I will suggest somewhere else

"That must be new, never known them to enforce a couples only rule before "

It’s not new, I had this happen to me in February and again in April. Ultimately I think it just depends on how the one bouncer feels on the night. If you manage to get in it can be a great option

This has happened in all the Bars/Clubs for years, it's nothing new and I'm speaking from firsthand experience from the days when I was a single guy.

When Comeback was much smaller, the previous owners would discourage too many single guys and ask them to leave. Imagine Bar was the same and the Clubs have(in general) always limited single guys.

PDI seems to have attracted more single Fab guys in recent times, or maybe they are just more evident, due to the lesser numbers overall. The majority(not all) couples look/prefer to meet other couples, so it makes sense to limit the numbers of single guys in the venues....especially one as popular but also as small as the Black Bulldog. If we went into a venue and there was a line of single guys at the Bar(unless it was a specific greedy girl night) we probably wouldn't stay long.

No doubt every single guy thinks they are an exception(I used to) and we have met and are friends with some lovely single guys in PDI but it's down to overall numbers. We did see the 'bouncer' turn guys away but they appeared polite when doing so and lets face it, the set up, with the corridor and public toilets must be a nightmare to control. Overall we thought they did ok....on the nights we were there.

Oh and a tip for guys 'meeting friends'...how about meet them outside and go in with them?? I'm sure there's quite a few guys would use that particular line just to try and get in....and a 'see you there' message on Fab is not really the same as 'meeting friends', no matter how much of a stud you are

To be honest I'm not that bothered its a free market they have the right to refuse and I have the right to not go back. It would a bad state of affairs if not getting into any venue ruined your hoilday I don't go to Secerts for the same reason Its just the first time iv seen it in a meet bar and yes the dynamics in the swing scene do change when your a couple or single girl. Men are always at the bottom of the pile but if you don't like the rules don't play the game

Exactly and things have changed a lot since I was a single guy...back then I remember having to get to 2x2 for it opening at 10pm, to stand a chance of getting in and Chris(the then owner) coming out and chatting with the gathered guys, before choosing the lucky few to get in(apart from Greedy Girls night). Fun4all were the most fussy back then and only ever let 1 or 2 guys in, Secret were and still do rip single guys a new one when it comes to admission charges and it never ceases to amaze me why guys go there.

The big difference nowdays, is that you have the welcome addition of Eden and their twice weekly Gentlemens nights, which for €10 are a no brainer for single guys, I only wish it had been around in my day.

Free market acconomy the more choice for the consumer the better my first objective is to make friends after all im single, it doesn't matter if we are not hooking up and the rest just naturally follows . There are couples who go into a meltdown if a single guy goes within five feet but you get the vibe within seconds so give a wide birth but you also have to remember if they are looking to speak to other couples n girls and they are speaking to you it gives off wrong signals unless they are very well established

I’ll be honest with you. You are right that men are usually bottom of the pile for a majority of establishments. No different to the vanilla nightclubs with the arsey bouncer “not tonight gents, too many men”.

So BB isn’t that different, and there are plenty of places that will welcome you with open arms.

But in fairness to the BB, I don’t think it’s purely down to you being a single male, but more down to demand. As we know of couples, including ourselves been refused entry, despite knowing who we are. And that’s also including locals who frequent regularly.

There does appear from conversations I’ve had one particular doorman that isn’t as affable as the other.

But as I mentioned previously and to extend, don’t let it give you a holiday downer. Just head to Comeback or Before, which are a few doors away, and just give it a shot another day (or even later in the night if you stay in the Cita).

Once in, you are made to feel welcome. It is a great little bar, great prices, great friendly service and definitely one for the list.

However, if you find them rude, obnoxious, bad experience, then of course like anywhere, it leaves a bad taste.

The way I look at it, is I always take into account culture differences and different native tongues, so not easily offended. And secondly, if you can’t get in somewhere, then that can’t be a bad thing if it’s in demand.

Recently, we had friends stuck in traffic in the UK, travelled over an hour to get to a club and were refused entry. Being in the middle of nowhere, I can appreciate their annoyance.

But the BB, I just have the hey ho, see you another time approach.

We liked Sweet Moments. We were only there 5 minutes, a couple of sips later and some hot German ladies had their tops down and then Lizzie’s. Really friendly, only downside for us was we are non-smokers and it got a bit smoky at the bar, but we’d definitely go again.

And as you probably know, Eden do give some options to single males, so you should have a good craic tonight.

Enjoy.

So, I popped into BB last night. The doorman instantly told me it was couples only as they have been getting too many single guys turning up. He was pretty abrupt to start with but fortunately Miranda was working and vouched for me and he was a lot friendlier thereafter. It was very busy with only a couple of tables free outside so I can see their point.

It also harks back to the "If a single guy can't take rejection, then Fab and Swinging in general, probably isn't for you". I first joined Fab as a single guy and it took me 6 months to get my first meet, so I know all about rejection and also remember well, turning up to the Clubs and Bars in PDI, wondering if I'd get in. A healthy attitude to rejection goes a long way towards success and survival in the Swing scene

Unfortunately just over a year on from our last visit and review we placed on here and having such a lovely memorable evening with friends it was a complete contrast yesterday. Would have loved to have drinks but not only was refused entry without explanation but was man handled twice and pushed away from the area which we believe is communal. Very aggressive behaviour from staff who really should learn people skills.

Was it out age? Was it our Nationality. Who knows maybe someone would like to get back to us because honestly if we treated people in our occupation like we were we would be sacked on the spot

There were several ‘older British’ HTW couples in last night having a great time. It’s a small bar with limited capacity, even though it might look quiet usually the tables are often reserved and arguing with the doorman (who is doing his job ) will create a situation where you’ll be asked to ‘move on’

This is nonsense , rejection in the sense of not being desired by someone else is one thing , being rude to a potential customer, slightly aggressive etc as some people describe is just being bad at the job and anyone would have the right to feel aggreived. I can cope with rejection but I don't like unwarranted rudeness just because I'm a guy.

I went there a couple of times , chatted to the owners , tried my bad German and had a great time , then one day I turned up and was told by the security guy I wasn't allowed in , I said could he ask the manager and I was waved in.

Basically you have to vote with your feet? If enough people do that they may have to change their attitude. We did go to the Black Bulldog a couple of times last October with friends, we had a few drinks and a dance and then moved on. It’s OK but very small hence why I guess they limit numbers. It wouldn’t bother us if they turned us away, but it would be the first and last time they did that like I said vote with your feet ???

We were in PDI over Christmas and New Year, we tried the Comeback meet bar one evening, and in our opinion, we wouldn't recommend it? We found it grim and not very welcoming at all, and spent the whole time trying to politely shake off a very persistent couple that seemed to think that they were the ones for us! The Cita centre is scary looking, very dimly lit, it reminds you of a seedy precinct in some grim US city!

Many others have been here and may have different views about it, so what we've written here is purely our own opinion about our visit, so please make your own judgement should you visit, as we won't be going again? Thanks!

We and our friends (2 couples) were refused entry into the Black Bulldog Bar a few weeks ago, without a reason given. The place was half empty, but the woman at the entrance point blank refused to allow us to go in and was particularly rude about it.

By comparison, the Comeback Bar is far more welcoming, with a far better atmosphere, so not getting into the BBB turned out to be no loss.

We absolutely love it here and yes there is a dress code which we do get as it’s only small and they don’t want people coming from the beach when everyone else in there is dressed up . It’s a great fun place to be in with great drinks and fantastic staff and owners . Also remember they can only admit a certain number of people so you may get turned away but this would be the case anywhere you went because of the regulations

To be fair it's nothing to do with being English, they turn away lots of nationalities but it's mostly English who are on fab to complain, and the "bouncers" don't necessarily have a delicate command of the English language.

We don't like it as it's too crowded, too noisy and too smokey but lots of people do and it's nearly always rammed.

There's plenty of other options and more close by very soon ......

We've been a few times and always found it to be a welcoming place and the staff very friendly.

Did get asked once if we could move from a table later on that evening as it had been pre booked, not an issue and the staff helpful.

Didn't stay in the place all night as like to have a wander about.

We have walked past on a few nights and it was rammed so just said hello to the doorman and walked on by.

Its always nice to see a bar or indeed any business doing so well, hope they all prosper.

Of course M has gone, but the new guys (I say new but they’ve been there for months! But regulars will know them from Secret over the years) have changed the vibe of the place.

We enjoyed our moment there and very sure there’ll be more over the coming weeks.

"Thread rejuvenated. Walked past the Black Bulldog towards the end of the night and got pulled into the place for a drink.

Of course M has gone, but the new guys (I say new but they’ve been there for months! But regulars will know them from Secret over the years) have changed the vibe of the place.

We enjoyed our moment there and very sure there’ll be more over the coming weeks.

Oh so Black Bulldog is under new management now? More welcoming?"

Not new management, or there I say new staff, as they’ve been there circa 10 months. But three members used to work in Secret and have definitely brought their flavour along.

A second visit to the Bulldog and the place was heaving. We went the night before to watch Anette on the pole, but it was that rammed I didn’t think she had a cat in hell’s chance of getting on the pole. So skipped it.

From our perspective, we’ve not been turned down from the BB and it does look like they are splitting at the seams with people attending the bar. As such, maybe it’s now easier to get in and not be turned away, than others reported over the last couple of years.

Security is still there and from Lizzie’s view, moody as always. I think she got him told off.

They look like they’re trying their utmost to keep a walkway between the main area and smoke area so people can pass through. Granted they’re never going to have the full aisle, but at least a walkway for people to pass.

There was a large Italian contingent when we were there looking pretty hot. And a mix of British, Irish and Dutch, along with a few Germans. It definitely looked over capacity, but the place was buzzing thanks to the likes of Arron and Karen bringing their Cuban touch to the BB. Whether this has changed the clientele, I don’t know but anyone visiting, expect a loud bar with a party vibe going on.

Enjoy!

If our visits were to go on, expect loud and packed like sardines. Which given it’s a swinging meeting point isn’t all that bad. We’re used to closeness.

Cap d’Agde, France

The BB and Comeback are OK bars but nothing special, convenient watering holes before heading to a club in Cita.

Living in Cap d'Agde, and a little spoilt, the better and more lively are the gay bars in Yumbo.

The BBB bar is one of our favourite places to go before heading to the clubs.

We love the party vibe. All nationalities having a good time together. It’s what’s it’s all about for us.

Same original owner when we last visited in September/October… with the addition of new staff/familiar faces.

Went few days ago, I’d say late ish about 0030hrs. Very busy, staff were pleasant and we got served no issues. Party atmosphere with a mix of nationalities but mostly bonkers Germans. Like most bars in Cita we struggle to get away from the fact you’re literally stood in the corridor of a run down 1970s shopping centre lol

Worth going and trying it. Always been fun in our experience. Have you already booked to go to GC?

We find the Cita quite normal now. Should we be worried?

Sounds like you had a great night. We find the British more bonkers.

We went for a few weeks and the last week we were there, there was a British Invasion and everywhere turned absolutely crazy. Maybe we had just chilled in to our holiday… haha!
