Harry's Bar, Safari Centre, PDLA.

Very popular bar overlooking the fountains.

Always been busy the times we've been over the years.

International clientele, attracted by it's location to the shops & many restaurants on that level.

Great place to watch the fountains in action, even better when the centre is decked out with all the Christmas lights and the fountains 'dance' to Christmas songs was very Christmas'eee'.


However have to say the guy playing the accordion on the night we were there was pretty poor looked totally uninterested and it showed in his performance not the best have to say.

One place I must say is a lovely location but very over priced for crap cocktails, just the opinion of our party of 8 that went there. We did go back to see if it was a one off, just wife and I, but still poor cocktails.

Agreed you pay for the location on all drinks but the cocktail my wife had recently was pricey and she had sup and left it I had a taste and thought it was yuk, normally just have a bottle of Dorado each every time we visit.

It is a shame really because it could be the Dogs.

i am in agreement about prices but i don't usually drink cocktails, if i do i like a mojito, and because i aint an expert on em i thought they were nice lol, so come on guys where are the best coctails to be had? the guy at charlotts bar reacons he does the best

I dont drink much, So i wouldnt know, Cocktails sound no good for diabetis,

I've never had a cocktail, I'm a lager lout (was/might still be) . Are they nice?

I think one may be ok, Its when you neck ten or so the trouble starts, Most end up as pavement pizzas,

HARLEYS IS VERY GOOD.This is just down the road from st Eugens.

I want to try some when I come over so am interested where the best ones are

Like many on here I don´t drink but I have been known to have the odd cocktail. Yes, Harry's is overpriced for what you get apart from the view.

Best cocktails IMO was Doreen's place, Terrazza del Mare you could choose from the menu but Pepe the manager used to make them especially to your specific taste, he won loads of competitions but I believe he is no longer there so don´t know what they are like now. But his Amaretto, White chocolate and vodka was to die for.

my wife is type 2 diabetic reggie and she still has a few drinks on her hols, we are just carefull with her food and plenty of exersise, she is doing well at the moment, and she has just had her second tia maria tonight lol,

I dosent bother me about that, i just never have drunk alot, I always suffer big time, Hangovers from hell, My sugar levels are just getting to normal, Bt i'm suffering with muscle aches Joint aches, migranes, And i cant run a 4 minute mile anymore, Apart from that lot i'm 100% . I shall be having a few beers though, just to be sociable, Because thats the kind of guy i am

one of my old school teacher's son is the manager at harley's dave senior, his sons name is andrew i think? we walked from los cris to meet up with him last year took us the best part of 90 mins and the bar steward was on his day off lol , wonder if they are still doin man versus food with the megga burger compo?

why not do what ecky does and drink the sin alcohol free beers? mind you there might be suger in them? i don't get hangovers any more reggie my body must be used to it, but i suffer big time with my ulcer if i over do it, i spent 5 hours in our local hospital xmas eve last year cus they thought i had a heart attack, but it turned out to be my ulcer after eating 2 indian meals 2 chinese meals loads of cheese and onion sandwiches and copious amounts of beer the week leading up to crimbo, needless to say i was frightened to eat or drink anything for weeks so lost about half a stone over crimbo for the first time in my life

Ime ok with Vodka ? , Dont know what thats all about, I cant go near spicy food, onions or even a beef burger. I'm a delicate sort, Janet makes up for me, i keep an eye on her or she just collapses, Scottish parents, Piss heads

I am known to have the odd beer or 20.

vodka as no calories in it, it's a diet alcohol drink, don't know why? just know it's made from spuds i think, and don't get bragging bout drinking 20 pints kev cus you will get found out in october

Vince is your man for shifting it, built for it too, My moneys on vince,

You heard the missus today Reg.

Lots drunk why away. Went to Harry's, still over priced and not great cocktails, but lovely view. Much more could be done as eventually people will stop going, novelty etc.
