Hey,

So I went to the Colombian place tonight, at around 1am and they were closed. LOL. I had a local guy escort me there so now I know I was correct about it's location. They were prob closed because it's a Monday night. Anyways, I also got some intel from a local dude who said pachis is supposed to be open next month. Unfortunately for me, I'm leaving too soon. LOL. I'm hoping to get some action tomorrow night from the Colombian place.

The directions are in one of the previous posts below.

Where is the Colombian place? Sorry I am not on the island but may go soon so would appreciate some intel. Or can you at least tell me what I would ask a taxi driver (whats the place called?)

I've been checking pachis regularly but it hasn't been open yet. What a huge letdown. I last checked it last night. I drove by the so-called Colombian place but I was alone and I was hesitant to go in myself. Anyone want to go check it with me? I'm in Bonaire till the 3rd.

Pachi's fully closed Tuesday night and could not find the Columbian place. I know I was in the right area though.

What does not fully open mean? Was there tonight and it looked fully closed! But, it is Monday and that might be a closed night anyway.

Just returned from Bonaire. Diving was great but Pachi's was not fully open yet. The one dude I found said within a few weeks they will be fully up and running.

I just read in the Bonaire Reporter that Pachi's is open again. Has anybody been recently?

Hired a local guy with a SUV to go sight seeing all over the island.

The scenery was breath taking, especially on the Northern part in the national park near the oil storage and loading terminal. All shrubs were pristine clean. You will find many iguanas warming in the sun on the road. There are lots of reef close to shore in this area. There is a maritime park up north where there are lots of sea life.

The guy took us bar hopping. There were a few good-looking young Dutch girls waitressing in bars and dive resorts on the North East shore, but we had no luck picking them up for sex. The guy took us to a few run down bars near downtown. Each place had 3 to 4 girls available. They were very dark and skanky.

We spent the whole night drinking then went back to hotel.

No. This would not be walking distance. It is a small bar with about 5-7 girls Columbian a few decent ones. It is a little hard to explain how to get there. You would turn at Lisa's toward the middle of the island. You will hit a traffic circle where the new large supermarket is located. Make the first right off of the circle. Pass the 2 Columbian restaurants. Go straight about 3 blocks. Make a right until the end then another right and an immediate left. The bar will be on your right. May need to ask a cabbie for first time.

I've driven around that neighborhood without finding the place you describe. Oh well. Any other locations?

Any updates in Bonaire? Any decent Pachi replacement?

[Jgreene006]

What nationality were the girls (Colombian, Dominican)? How many? This is a pretty easy walk from Divi Flamingo, correct? I am afraid to get my hopes up based on the little bars I saw last November, but based on location this could be a good option.

I think my plan of attack will be to fly through Curacao and spend my first and last nights at Campo. Anything I find on Bonaire in the middle will be gravy.

Was there at the beginning of the year. Pachi's is closed and from everything I could find out it doesn't look hopeful for a reopening. If you hire a cabbie he can take you to a few places under the radar. One place that was decent (but not Pachi's level) was a bar with a few rooms not far from Lisa's Gas Station going interior. Forgot the name. I'm sure a local cabbie could help you out.

Good luck

Will be there first week in July. Has Pachi's reopened? Is there a new place? Otherwise, any advice as how / where to find independents. Appreciate any help.
