    Re: El Flow Closed Down

    Do you know if it was just an ordinary closure (such as for renovations, or for lack of patrons), or closed by the authorities for some reason? Is there a "Clausurado" sticker on the door?

    Re: El Flow Closed Down

    Is El Flow the one with tables on the sidewalk, directly across from Rumbas and beside the cigar bar?

    If it is, there have been a handful of bullet clotheslines handed out to its patrons in the last 2 years.

    Think it is the Premium Lounge now. It has a BYOB history (Bring Your Own Bullets). More popular with locals than others. Think they just renovated within the last year, put a disco in the back.
    I'll be there tonight, will see for myself (glad to be able to say that again!)

    Authorities. Plenty of Policia Nacional.

    Not sure about the sticker; walked by as it was un-folding.

    That disco in the back has actually been there at least 3 years and was already there when the last renovation occurred.

    It is a popular place with the Dominican crowd and fights happen there quite often especially with the young men who over indulge to much there.

    As some have mentioned it has also been the seen of several shootings over the years.

    Re: El Flow Closed Down

    I think the authorities did not like having such a bar in the middle of town. They have used the excuse that they knowingly allow people with weapons into the bar...or at least not checking.

    It is what I gleaned, using my very poor Spanish, from this article about it.

    (Article in Spanish)

    http://www.detrasdelrumor.com.do/en-...-antiguo-flow/

    Translated by Google

    Friday afternoon a police contingent led by several supervisors and inspectors Coba, ordered the closure of fun Premium Bar, formerly known as El Flow, located across the street pedro Clisante.

    The operation was led by Felix Parra, provincial supervisor of COBA, who in turn was accompanied by inspectors, Orlando Sierra and Julio Martinez, among others, who reported that the decision was taken due to the constant bloody events that occur in Inside the bar which has a small nightclub inside and endangering the lives of the people who come there to have fun.

    It is known that between 14 July 2014 and February, two shootings were staged inside the business where their separate two young received multiple gunshot wounds without business owners could explain how it is possible that safety the place they are stationed at the only door and checked even with specialized supposedly all who enter, have allowed the entry of armed people who hurt and endangered the lives of dozens of tourists and locals who were there teams.

    It is recalled that there was gunned Luis Barbarian, among other important facts.

    Yes, I think they concluded that the odds were high that the next person shot would be a tourist. The question now is where are all the older expats who have recently taken to sitting out in front of the place scoping out the scene going to go.

    The thinning of the ranks (bars) continues.

    Who is next? Somebody needs to set up a poll.
    Only four other major places available for shut-down (Rumba, Merengue, Bar Central, Rancho Tipico.)

    P.S.: Over half way there when counting Passions, CMP, Latinos, D'Latin, and now El Flow.

    You got that right. They have taken over that place. The only problem is there won't be enough places to sit. As to watching hoes, there are quite a few hoes that live in and around there.

    I suppose Orlando (the old owner) is glad he sold and moved down the road.

    When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.

    Re: El Flow Closed Down

    I liked El Flow as a place to chill for a drink of two from time to time. My last trip it was where I'd hang to get away to gather my thoughts away from the more gringo packed places. Plus it was a nice place to take a chica to do lil bachata y merenque on the way to the room.
    Me gusta mujeres mas oscuro que yo.

    What about the El Flow dog? Did they take it away or will it starve to death. Either way residents at Sosua Suites will be happy......

    Premium Disco Bar & Café (El Flow)

    After reading this thread I went to the Premium Disco Bar & Café to see if there was an official notice posted giving the reason for the closure but I found none. I took pictures and could see no official notification from the government.

    Re: El Flow Closed Down

    I remember one bartender from there that would fit your description. I think she was Orlando's sister from Sabaneta. She was a 5'7" brick house. Must of weighed about 145 lbs though it was hard to tell because every inch was distributed perfectly. I truly can't think of another bartender anywhere I've been that was sexier than her. She ended up marrying a young cat from NYC and is probably now there. Every time I saw them together I thought ain't no way he's going to be able to handle that girl because every guy who sees her in NYC is going to try to go after her. She was a special beauty.
