We would like to apologise for the behaviour of some of the PRs and some of their employers on the steet outside of Centro Atlantico.  Despite the many times that we rang the police, they (the PRs) keep re-appearing, as the police cannot devote so much time to this issue, understandably. (For those of you who don´t know what PRs are, they are those annoying young men and women who hassle the crap out of you on the street to get you to come into their club/bar. )

When we re-opened Charlies one and a half years ago, we didn’t want to have any PRs on the street, as we understand they can be a pain in the a*se, annoying people. We then had to put PRs down there because the others were telling customers that Charlies was closed/Charlies doesn’t open until 12, when we actually open at 9 etc etc.

We were very careful to choose intelligent, friendly PRs who are not “in your face” to protect our interest on the street.

Some of the other PRs will offer two drinks for the price of one etc etc etc.  Any reasonably intelligent people would know that you would only have to do things like that if you had a sh*t pub with nothing going for it and you had to give away cheap drink for nothing to get people in.

We don’t want the type of people that want cheap free drink in Charlies anyway, apart from the fact that some of the bars charge twice the price for the third drink and put up the prices again after a certain hour when people are a little looser, and they are welcome to those idiots that can’t see through that…

We take a lot of pride in our live music/staff and the atmosphere in Charlies, and wish to apologise again for some of these a*seholes on the street – but there is nothing we can do about it.

Once you get up the steps and into Charlies you won’t be bothered by anyone from then on – unless you want to be!!!!!!
