Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

The post about Rush, which is the old Lemon Tree, got me thinking about bars that no longer exist.
A lot of places from the time I lived there are long gone.
However, I have fond memories of The Rest Bar, David's Bar, Lucine's Garden and The Pop Inn to name a few.
Does anyone else remember these bars?
I have to admit it was some years ago now.

wishingwell how old are you 80 years old.
You must be going back some time.
I have been going for a fair few years and can not remember them.
Here is one for you------ The Kings Arms.
It was next to Captain Bulls**ts under the Varol Hotel.

Apart from those already mentioned, here's a few more "blasts from the past" - Bamboo, Lion, Korsan, Miami, Angels, Cubana, Havana, Dreamboys, Baron (Valentino's). Some completely gone altogether - some still going under a new identity. I'm sure more will come to me - but those were some which sprang to mind on reading this.

Hi wishingwell,we used to go in Davids Bar everynight,great little bar,David married a German girl.Had a couple of meals in Lucines Restaurent on the sewing machines and we had our first Fish and chips in the Pop Inn when it was down the passage.Great times,Fond memories.

Gene,
Used to love your early morning photo's, with the Bars floors being washed out ready for customers.

redrhino are your old photos still available on here thanks

No, the photobucket account has ran out,but I have them all on my computer.

shame about that would have been nice to look back in time is there any chance you could upload a few

South Coast Hero-I am not quite 80 :lol. That said, most of the places Blondie mentioned I consider to be fairly new-unless you count when Bamboo was on the beach front, so I am not quite 18 either!
I will not divulge my age but I will say it was 20ish years ago when I was living there and there were no traffic lights anywhere near the old village. I used to get the little green train home. Oh, and the dry canal went from the old village straight down to where Migros now is. There was very little to see on the way!

Redrhino 12-I am so pleased someone remembers these bars. I also used David's Bar frequently, particularly in winter. It was one of the very few places that was open in those long winter months. I remember David and his wife very well. I wonder what the are doing now.
Yes, dinner on the sewing machines was a wonderful experience. I never ate in the Pop Inn but we used to go in for drinks on a regular basis. The Rest Bar did not last long. It is apartments now. Maybe we were in some of these bars at the same time
I also remember most of the places on your list and agree with hagrag;it would be nice to see the photos.
Lovely to reminisce

It was the Bamboo on the beachfront I meant, by the way...
