Mi experiencia en Chester & Punk, Málaga, fue sencillamente intolerable y profundamente degradante…read more Fui sometida a una acusación falsa de sustracción por parte de un trabajador del establecimiento, que decidió atribuirme un robo inexistente sin prueba alguna, sin comprobación previa y sin el más mínimo respeto por mi dignidad. La realidad es que la lámpara decorativa a la que se referían fue utilizada únicamente de manera momentánea para alumbrarme en el baño, ya que dicho espacio carecía de luz. Aun así, el personal optó por interpretar la situación de la forma más grave posible, precipitada e injusta. Lo sucedido después fue aún peor. En lugar de gestionar la situación con prudencia, educación o sentido común, fui abordada a la salida del local de forma totalmente improcedente, acusándome de ocultar la lámpara en mi bolso y exigiendome su devolución inmediata. Se me tratará como si fuera una delincuente, delante de otras personas, sin una sola prueba y sin ningún tipo de consideración hacia el daño que una acusación así puede causar. La sensación que me llevé fue de absoluta humillación. No se trató de un simple malentendido sin importancia, sino de una situación vejatoria, ofensiva y moralmente muy dañina. Ser acusada falsamente de robo, ser increpada y ser colocada en una posición de sospecha pública de esa manera genera un impacto emocional evidente: indignación, ansiedad, impotencia y una profunda sensación de atropello. Lo ocurrido arruinó por completa la noche y dejó un malestar que no se borra con facilidad. Lo más grave de todo no es solo el error, sino la ligereza con la que se lanzó una acusación tan seria y la naturalidad con la que se me sometió a un trato humillante. Un establecimiento que permite que su actuación personal así demuestra una alarmante falta de profesionalidad, de control y de respeto hacia sus clientes. Nadie que acuda a un local merece salir de allí con la sensación de haber sido violentada verbalmente, menospreciada y tratada como culpable sin prueba alguna. Cuando un local permite este tipo de actuaciones, no está cometiendo un simple error, está normalizando una forma de trato abusivo, temeraria y totalmente alejada de los estándares mínimos de respeto. Acusar sin pruebas, hostigar verbalmente e intentar forzar una devolución de algo no sustraído es una actuación gravísima y una muestra evidente de una gestión irresponsable. Solicité la hoja de reclamaciones en el mismo momento, y esta reclamación será elevada a Consumo. Dejo esta reseña para que de constancia pública de lo ocurrido y del perjuicio real que este episodio me provocó a nivel personal. Para mí, lo vivido fue una experiencia humillante, injusta y completamente inaceptable

People come in the hope of sighting this celebrity, crowding the restaurant at all hours and overwhelming its staff. Our server pointed us to a QR code on the cocktail menu so we could look up what's on offer. This menu gave ONLY the names of the dishes on offer, WITHOUT any description of the dish or its sides. Nor did the server have the time to describe them to us. Service was a 2, at best, while the food was a 3. If you're looking for good food and good service, there are plenty of other options in Málaga. If you choose a place to eat on the off chance you will see a movie star, this is the place for you.

Lo and behold - La Vida De La Gente across the road. We went there at 20:00 and were told that while we could have cocktails, food was only available from 20:30 onward - Spanish tradition. We had a Pornstar Martini and a Piña Colada, and promptly got some sweet extras like watermelon etc. for free. Next thing we know, we order two more cocktails (a coconut mojito and a cosmopolitan), which were equally delicious. The tapas we ended up ordering were surreal. LVDLG focuses on Asian-inspired tapas: we had the goat cheese lollipop (2), yakitori meatballs (4), the oriental burger (1), Japanese fried rice, shrimp in teriyaki sauce (10) and a selection of meats. All of these tapas were fresh, delicious and well executed. Generous portions, piping hot. Our waiter was great, bringing around extra bread and free shots, plus explaining what everything was. The place has only been open for two months but it is truly one of the better establishments we have come across in Malaga. Very sleek, very clean, quiet and cosy. A lovely vibe in general. For less than 60€, we enjoyed four cocktails, a bottle of water, four tapas and two 'mains' - great value. They are very generous with the alcohol in cocktails, for only 6€ each. Tapas are 3-4€ each, mains 8-9. All in all, excellent value for money. The bill is brought in a cut-out book, which we found adorable. LVDLG is a gem. Next time we visit Malaga, we'll make sure to visit again, although we are sure it won't quite be as quiet anymore. These guys deserve all the custom they can get, a truly wonderful place.

The terrace is located on the roof of a Hotel and you can get there with a lift. There are two small areas left and right with open views on one side only and just wall of the other. The floor space is overrun by seating furniture to maximice profit leaving little space to walk around. When we arrived we luckily found a place to seat on the nice comfy white sofas located by the open side on the right area however as we were waiting for the waiter to come to order, the woman from a group of four with a baby that came with us in the lift but went to left area first, came to us as she saw us well seated and asked us to seat somewhere else because they were more people than us for that space. She made the request sounded as a command which we very politely declined as the rest of the seating options were really worse off and we knew there was plenty of space for them available in the left area where there are only tall tables and chairs (sorry tall chairs are uncomfortable for everyone) She left annoyed and little after the waiter came to say that we should move somewhere else as the sofas were for groups. We said we didn't mind sharing the sofa area with others as we understood there were 4/5 seats more available but they refused saying it was company policy to use that wider sofa space for groups only. There were two other wider sofas spaces like that in "u"shape, one with two people and three in the other so we found the explanation and the whole situation very unfair, arbitrary but also found humiliating to be told to move whilst people around were looking at us, so we decided to go instead and as we left, without an apology, we had to hear the voice of the uneducated local woman with the baby that came from somewhere in the crowd saying in a loud and sarcastic tone "gooood bye" to top the cake. A sense of entitlement that clearly was enabled by the way the terrace decided to address the situation, as we could know understand that she probably went to rant to the waiters that we were seating there instead of them. Very embarrassing scene for me and more for my friend, who just wanted to impress me. As Spaniard, I am usually quite proud of the customer service in Spain but this place is really not at all an example. I also felt as if I had been local I would have been treated differently. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone but not only because it is small and their lack of professionalism and just money over customer care, but also because if you are a couple or two friends you will never be able to seat in the sofa area by the open side of the terrace according to their "policy", which is really the only worthy area in the small terrace. Also apparently is a good idea to bring a few months old baby in a buggy to a cocktail bar with not food service in the evening, which at least in the U.K. is not legally allowed. There are many rooftop terraces in Malaga with far better views, facilities and friendly customer service that really know how to make people, locals or not locals, feel welcomed.
