I would imagine having many attractive Haitianas working for him was a big draw as well, with many guys preferring them over Dominicanas. But as far as his day to day dealings, his personality quirks, his temper tantrums, etc....I will gladly defer to those guys who live there and know much more about him than the little I've been exposed to. My lasting memory was on the first night of my arrival in town a few years back and meeting up with a few of the regulars, Irie, Seville, WW and a couple more, Ad served me a sambuca then lit it on fire. Once I downed that, I don't remember much after except for Irie getting me a ride back to my room and discouraging me from taking an attractive, but questionable, Haitiana with me in such a state. Good call by him because when I got back to my room, it was goodnight Irene in seconds.
If someone like Irie, Seville, WW, daddyooo, or others who either live there or spend a large amount of time there throughout the year, posts something about him, I'll place more stock in their opinion since they are in the arena, so to speak.
TBH, in that area of the beach, I'll much rather go to El Rey's Flip Flop Beach Bar instead. That is only a few shacks down from where Ad's new Punta Cana Bar is.
yes that flamng sambuca does have a way of messing you up
kinda odd that it does since i assume it is alcohol that is being burned off
i believe el rey shut down the flip flop beach hut for awhile but sounds like he might be opening it back up. Probably for high season
there are some pretty dark things about AD that very few know about and even he doesn’t want to speak to but alcohol can be a good truth serum and he loves to run his mouth
AD has always been about bigger and better things i would surmise he is looking towards something else. But he needs resources for that. A beach bar run right make a little money but is limited by available space and operating hours. Plus the climate has changed on the beach where things cant get to wild there anymore. To many eyes watching

The one on the beach has been closed for awhile. The restaurant in Beachway Plaza is still open.

Is this the place where X had my BD party last year?
Re: 10/2013 - Ad opens Rancho Tipico (5 Year Topic)
The one at the entrance to the beach is still there and going strong
the one on the beach was being managed by someone else and I think they left so he shut it down

was told by someone yesterday the bar is Dominican owned and AD is managing it. Kinda makes sense
Re: 10/2013 - Ad opens Rancho Tipico
As we mentioned earlier, Ad, in the past the well-known owner of The Black Box beach bar and Rancho Tipico, has opened a bar on the beach of Sosúa. The bar has the original name: the Punta Cana Bar (Caseta nr 26). During the day it's pretty quiet there and you can enjoy your beer, the music or a football match. But late in the afternoon, many visitors show up. Then it is party time at in the Punta Cana Bar. That party often goes on until well into the evening. It seems as if the good old times of Rancho Tipico have returned.
