Thanks for the replies to another post of mine about the new place at the "sushi bar location".

I've been to this new place and they sell some nice frozen cocktails (with alcohol) and cold beers too. The guy keeps the beers in a freezer subzero so it's really cold. I payed naf 10 for a frozen cocktail (which is quite a good price I think) and naf 5 for a beer...

The owner seems like a friendly guy and he explained to me he's mainly aiming for the cruise ship tourists to come.

Regards,

Richard

That's what I thought Pietri - it sounded kind of steep to me.

Unless it's a Bright...they're usually +/- 5 fls. Other bars nearby (seaside/downtown) are charging fls 4+ for Polars.

My guess is there may be some agreement with Karel's to have the same prices for the beers but...yeah, 5 naf is not cheap but I guess it's quite normal to ask this in a commercial place like Karel's or City (unfortunately).

As a comparison: I've also been to the Plaza resort and payed 7 naf and change for a beer which was actually warm...

But I'm also glad I'm not a real beer drinker, I prefer cold and fruity cocktails!

We spent a lot of time at Fannies a couple of weeks back, Vicky and Lou were super-friendly and the mango daquiries sneak up on you like barracuda's - Jessie is also one of the nicest bar dogs you'll ever meet. We used to go to Karel's pre-Omar but it seems to have gone all a bit high-end now so tried Fannies. Loved it, I just wish Karel's wouldn't insist on playing music so loud you can hear it in Curacao!

Hello,

I'll be making my first trip to Bonaire in January. I've heard quite a few good things about Fannie's and would like to drop by. Is there any chance someone could provide me with an address and a telephone number so I could find the place?

Thanks,

Brian Warner

I don't know if there is a phone there, but their email address is fanniesdaiquiris@aol.com

It's easy enough to find if you're walking on the pavement next to the water's edge, look for the pier that Karels is situated on and it's on the opposite side of the street from them.

Does anyone know are the drinks homemade or using Oasis or a pre mix?

They use pre-mixes but each day's batch is freshly made up...you won't be disappointed
