I'm happy for everyone that is having a good time at this place. When ever a new place is open people want to check it out. However, with the exception of a few places, that initial rush of patrons usually fades in time.

If one were to put the Wife beating and pretty blatant Racism aside.. he is actually a VERY good businessman., imo..
he only had problems AFTER the Black Box and the situation with his ex Novia thing.. Latinos was doomed to fail and dont even count, he was only managing it, he had no ownership there AFAIK
.. He then went to Boca Chica but decided to come back to Sosua ( Robert1234 correct me if im wrong)
.. He always wanted to open exactly what he has right now. If I had to pick ONE person with the Skill set to make it work in Sosua,, AD is definitely at the TOP of that list.. He has a PLAN, trust me. .This aint his first Rodeo in owning a Business/ restaurant/ and making it RUN like a Clock.

but i also find it interesting if people will forget that other "bad" stuff or not..
personally it never affected me.. but I can certainly see how some could be very offended & bothered by it..

"I don't know why Sosua news gives this guy so much attention. "

Because Ad is Dutch and Sosua News is Dutch as well.....

I always assumed he was German. Well, same thing really, I suppose.

Well it certainly is better than claiming to be German, yet being born in Transylvania ..
Or so you told me.

Maybe he was having a bad day when I went to the Black Box. I give him credit for opening the place. Best of luck. Just not with my money.

If this works I have no idea why.......

Works for me....nice sailor suits!

yes they were very cute!

Yes, this doesn't surprise me one bit. It seemed like when I went there it his own bar, with his own people and outsiders were not welcome there.

Gutta,

Would you mind being more specific and explain what he did to make you feel like you were not wanted there? I never met the guy, although I may have seen him around once or twice, but im just curious what he did...???

If what he did to you is the norm, I don't see why any of us would want to support him...

He was having his weekly BBQ on beach, I went by to join, offered to pay, he looked at me and turned away and continued his conversation he was having with his friends. So I left.

This was my experience. Some of you may like the guy, and enjoy his new place. That's fine. I'm not trying to influence anyone not to go there. I see there's posts on this thread and guys really enjoy the place. Best of luck.

I had only been to the Black Box once back in January 2012,,,,

He seemed like an alright dude,, and I had a good time there,,,,,

But anyone who would beat a woman or shove her around, Automatically loses points with me,,,,it's just cowardly,,,,


Having said that,,,I would probably give the place itself a look next time in town,,,,,,

Black Box was a good spot for some sites though,,,,,,,,,,,,looking down at the beach,,,,

I dont know the guy personally... And I don't judge someone till I meet them and then I can have my own opinion about a person... Until I know who they are, I have nothing bad or good to say about someone... I can say this though, anyone who beats his wife, girl, or any woman, already has a strike against them in my eyes...

[Gutter Meat]

All I can speak of is my experience, The girlfriend beating allegation I'm not sure if it's substantiated. Just for shits & giggles, I will be in Sosua soon and will take a look at the place. If it turns out to be OK I'll give my honest option. Until then, happy trails everyone.

Just walked by this place, not one customer.

[SeaWeed]

knew of Ad back at the Mozart in Boca Chica but didn't really get a chance to talk to him much till I got to the Black Box in Sosua in 2009.....
and I have absolutely no complaints about him or his service at the Black Box.......
he and his waitresses made mi feel totally comfortable there......they really went out of their way......
the beers were frosty.....and the loungers, table and chairs were clean and not broken like some I saw on the beach......
even back in 2009 he was talking about opening a place on PC.....glad he finally got a place......
there is a whole story to the Mozart and Ad in Boca Chica.....and not going to dwell on it here...I would have left Boca too....
from what I have read in this thread...and if I lived in Sosua...I certainly would be a regular at his new place....no question

I think I may have found some crew for the boat.

[Gutter Meat]

Took a walk by yesterday around 5pm. It's right past Passions on same side of street. The place is a lot bigger than I thought. He has a big piece of property. Didn't see much as far as customers though.

[Gutter Meat]

He did have about 5 girls working there at 5pm, music was good with mix of Bachata and 80's American.

[j_d66]

Sounds like a fun place gonna have to check it out next time i am there if they are still open

5 staff + 0 customers = no good

I was there on a prior trip but it was different ownership I think but the result was virtually the same.
That evening it was 2 customers and 3 pretty chicas working and good bachata but the end result still the same.

Just a bad location I think
