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

One of the photos of Antonio Banderas, who happens to be a co-owner! The service was super attentive, and the overall ambiance was just great. I really liked El Pimpi, it fully lived up to the hype!

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.

I've come to find that Malaga is sort of like London in how they drink in bars. Small clusters of groups that don't interact with each other. And the bars are setup this way. Small bar area only for ordering drinks and a bunch of tables. I hate this! I like to mingle and meet new people. I want to walk into a bar and come out knowing everyone. And when I return... I want everyone to say hello. I think i've find my local. I walked in knowing no one, left chatting to everyone. My kind of bar... friendly! The bar staff were incredible friendly as well. The bar has a thing for charity having games for charity. Beer selection is pretty good. You'll find ipa's, brown and lite ales as well as your typical heineken. You also have spirits and wines too.

They call it "thetah thetah poob", LOL), this venue specializes in mostly old school rock. The name says it all! The band that played that night played the cover songs of the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Joan Jett, etc. Personally I'm not into this type of music but I must say that the drummer was amazing, he was the most entertaining part of the show! Fue una pasada! The drinks are cheap and the ambiance is very rock'n'roll with lots of ACDC posters.
