Hi Can anyone help - does anybody know what is happening to the Bamboo I am under the impression it will not open this summer

Hi all
when we were out there last year we visited the Bamboo a few times, the food was as good as it has been over the last 12 years we have been in Icmeler for our hols.
The matre d Veli had left the year before and had set up a new place in Marmaris (he has now moved to Rhodes) and the place was not really the same. We still have a few friends there and hope that it will not close permenantly. Although we will not be out there this year we will keep an eye on this post to find out whats happening.

I hope it does open this year it's one of my fave places for a drink after a meal to sit, listen to the guy sing and people watch

Don't worry someone will open it.

I had this kind of discussion the other day with Rami about bars not making money but when they go bust there is always someone to buy it and then lose their money EVERY year.

could someone please tell me were the bamboo is, as i,ve not heard of it.

BigChig its at the beach end of the canal on the corner

cheers collette, i no were you mean.

Linacres have moved from there place near the Mandalin and Charlys Bar and restaurent.

Maybe?

Gene, how fab would that be?? We could all get up and boogie to the sounds of the 60's and 70's on the beach!

Sorry Gene but did you mean thet linekers is now wher bamboo was ?

Think it's wishful thinking on Gene's part. Mine too!!

does anyone know what is happening with the bamboo.i cant believe i wont hear the dulcet tones of muffit,or marvel at the dutch and german formation dance teams this year.

Linakers is still were its always been but they are opening another bar for daytime use on the promenade near the Laguna Hotel.
Bamboo, I still have no news on that one yet.

This global credit crunch thing has a lot to answer for and the owners I'm sure are going to feel the pinch this year, just as we all are.

bad news the bamboo is no more. just a pile of rubble where a thriving dance bar once stood.i blame the influx of the all inclusive.personaly for me watered down beer and a works canteen buffet restaurant, will never take the place of a proper sit down meal served by smiling waiters with ice cold efes and good natured entertainment.[sorry about the rant i'm just disappointed.]

Really sorry to hear this. We used to go most nights for a quiet drink and chill out with nice breeze from the sea.

We always toddled down here after out meal for a drink and relax, listen to the guy sing and people watch.

ıt ıs beıng done up for somethıng wıll keep an eye out. by the taj mahal has shut down

Gutted that the Bamboo has gone. Have spent many nights there listening to Murfitt murdering songs. It was nice to eat a good meal and sit and watch the world go by.
We got to know the owners and head waiters very well - 4 of them live over here.
Dont suppose anyone has any piccies or info of what the site s being turned into???

I have never been to the Bamboo, but the chef in the new Linekers beach bar worked there before Linekers, if thats any help. The meals were delicious, and had lunches there several times, whilst using free sunbeds, and great fun service from all the guys.

They have classic disco music on in the evenings and a bit of motown, and still have the bar in town.
