Many hours. Best bar in La Paz.
The place to watch the sunset while sucking on a Pacifico.

Ken Bondy - 12-18-2008 at 08:00 PM

Kate I think those are frames for hanging fish, but I'm not absolutely sure.

Brings back a great memory I have of Audrey and I eating a wonderful steak dinner there! Gotta get back to that place again soon... now, I'm hungry.
Later,
Bob H

Thanks so much Ken. I can't be there but am pining for a fix and your photo is just what I'm pining for. I will probably return many times over the next while.
Merry Christmas!

Excellent shot, Ken. All I need now is the margarita to go with that view. Thanks.

Pretty well closed up now

Hotel Los Arcos is boarded up and very closed due to a labor action.

Bruce R Leech - 12-19-2008 at 10:45 AM

shari is right. If this is a legal strike, the flags are put up, the the business is closed, and will remain closed until the dispute is settled. Are the doors still closed today?

Bob H - 12-19-2008 at 12:01 PM

The exact same thing happend to La Fonda a few years ago, sealed the front entrance and it never reopened as it's original self. They just simply relocated it to the back of thier house and kicked the union out. I think that's what happened.

I took the photo yesterday. They are still closed. We've been here for a little over 2 weeks and it has been closed longer than that. They are missing the Christmas crowd. We usually have Christmas dinner with friends in the restaurant, but this year it's Club Marlin. The way it's boarded up it may be a long one. Lots of rumors.

los Arcos

Hey Vandenburg, How much were we paying for a Pitcher of Margarita"s durinng Happy Hour back in the 70's???

gnukid - 12-19-2008 at 04:04 PM

This is what is so difficult to understand for me, one of the better hotels, bars and restaurants can't make the formula work. Nothing makes sense in Mexico. If Los Arcos can not figure out how to function and get tourists from the airport to the door and succeed, labor issues and all, primarily due to low traffic how can anyone succeed in tourism which is supposedly the number one business of Mexico?

Just doesn't make sense... Though I can see it, experience it and its a fact, Los Arcos is closed mainly due to lack of business traffic and costs of labor.

When did the flags go up?

Dave - 12-19-2008 at 04:55 PM

It's quite common to flag after a place closes. Especially if the owners left owing the employees back pay, bonus and/or retirement. It just happened here with the Palm Grill. The owner walked out just weeks before Christmas aguinaldos were due. One employee had 10 years of retirement coming.

Nice, John. Hope you have a very merry Christmas. :mad:
