BAR UPDATE

12 December 2000


Meribel

Dicks T Bar opened this weekend (opening night pictures), while the Pub Doron, Scotts and the Rond Point, all of which have been refurbished over the summer will be opening around the 16th. The Plein Soleil in Mottaret has already opened.

Val d'Isere

Dicks T bar in Val has already opened and has made a few changes for the new season. As reported on Natives previously, there will be a new CyBar internet cafe to check Natives on. For connoisseurs there's also a wine bar with 15-20 fine wines.

Of more interest to workers will be Dicks at Six. This apres-ski slot is going to feature Kangaroo Boxing, Sumon Wrestling, Horizontal Bungee and other lively events for starting off your evening.  

Chamonix

The Crochon has been converted from a restaurant to a laid-back CyBar internet cafe (see earlier reports) and opened for business today.

After the success of its opening season, the Terrasse has also made some changes for this winter. There will still be the famous happy hour drinks but the upstairs area has been converted to a restaurant featuring international cuisine (and the chef from the Jeckyll).

Courchevel

After the closing of the Equipe, it will be interesting to see how resort workers divide up their time between Bar Le Jump, Le Kalico, TJs, The Blue Room (formerly Isba) and Gringos.

The smart money says the Jump after skiing, TJs/Blue Room/Gringos for a crawl, followed by a drunken dance in the Kalico.

TJs/Blue/Gringos will be encouraging everyone on the crawls this winter with their Fetish, Bond and School Days theme nights.

Both TJs and Gringos are already open, the Jump opened on 2 Dec with Kalicos shortly after.
