Thanks - yes is that where I meant. If it does belong to Newtons bet it will be expensive, and new resturants in Candolim, or is it too early for them to start opening?

Now, now Noni sounding a bit fuddy duddy now.
Late night watering holes are few and far between, and very welcome. The music from Viva Pub was far more intrusive last year. The noise from the Bamboos was normally chat

Most of the restaurants are open or about to. Jazz Corner, Touch of China, Cata Loco, Fishermans, Mango have been open for a few weeks. Sea Sh***s opened tonight. Most of the Beach Road (apart from J29's and Angara) is open including Roma Pisa. The place is teeming with Ruskis but they seem a good bunch this year. Quite a few Brits starting to turn up, and unfortunately so have the beggars and hawkers

Perhaps it was from the Viva Pub - rumour has it that it has been deported to Calengute!

AND - you'll get the change from your bill all in little foil-wrapped sweeties!!!

and IF WE try it once, sweeties will be their tip - we will all have to go the same night and do the same.

Sounds like a good idea - tit for tat!

Sorry Noni! passed by today and Viva Pub is still across the road from Newton`s!!!!!

oh! well you can't win them all. pack the ear plugs.

I've been going to the Viva pub for a number of years, and it was a nice quiet late night drinking hole. It was frequented late at night by the locals and taxi drivers. It was only last year that it was turned into a Karaoke bar and played loud music. I went on opening night last season and was charged something like Rs80 for a small kingfisher and vowed never to go back whilst the English guys were running it.

This year it is back to local running so I think the LOUDNESS should go away and hopefully prices should be reasonable. but as usual will depend on the greed of the owner

The guys who leased it last year have apparently taken another pub in Calangute, trying to find where so I know where to avoid

dont bother with them. we flew to canary isles last month and broken seat all the way back. major problem with tosser behind , and t cook seem to not care. food crap, and noisy plane. we fly monarc or any other when we can. have booked to fly monarc next month to goa as usual. we will never book with t cook again!

oh no I will not ! I NEVER allow any shop in Goa to fob me off with sweets for change ! Everyone should stand there and demand the actual change - in my experience when you do this, they magically find the correct change.

Dread - sweet !

Perhaps we could do a BE meet up starting outside Newtons or Menezes in Calangute - all go in the shop and buy something really cheap and ALL demand our change in cash - then we could all go to a bar and have a bloomin good laugh about it !

Dread - game on
