This is a new showbar which opened in Hisaronu last weekend. It stars Ilker and his new partner. ex. Gypsy Passion. Ilker is now the owner of this bar.You will remember them as the salsa dancers from Turkey's got talent and other venues in the area. Ilker has now opened this new showbar and with his other dancers. A different show each night and it is brilliant!!!! It is on the opposite side to the Fez Bar. Up from the Boat Bar. You wont be dissapointed

You will be disappointed :(We went to see the `show` on their opening night, and it was a farce.... only three acts, two by the same couple, and its not dances, its more contortionist acts. The biggest problem and the most off putting was the volume of the music from the DJ in between the acts , which lasted a good ten / fifteen minutes each time. The staff were pleasant enough, but their plan was to push the drinking to maximum, hence the long gaps in between the acts.Several people were forced to leave, the music volume was incredible... the DJ got it totally wrong. That `opening night`was two weeks ago and the place has been empty every night since.Some of the staff were actually fighting each other outside the premises there last week...in frustration probably from lack of customers.In fairness there was one good act, a troupe of african dancers. But they will need lots of customers in to pay ther wages, and it ain`t going to happen. Also this year already, there are less tourists around at night in Hisaronu for this time of the year compared to last year, so they are really up against it.Unless there is a dramatic improvement in cutomers / tourists, and the quality of the show ,I predict it wont be the `mask`show dance in those premises next season.

I haven't been yet, but i'd like to see it do well - a return to the good old days of Big Break.
I think Ilker could pull it off but as you said, the lack of tourists will make it an uphill struggle. I think he also needs to quickly establish an identity for the bar - is it a family show bar, or a Time-Out style disco bar (it can't be both).
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him because he seems like a really nice bloke.

strewth sleuth! you certainly put a dampner on it.
-
only telling it as I see it.... I noticed last night walking past,that they have now succombed to the dreaded karaoke ,to try to draw in customers... like, we really need another karaoke establishment in Hisaronu !! ?? with only one or two late night boozers in there ... dance show ? what dance show ?
-
Well you really sold the place. Give him a break.He really is a lovely guy and he is trying really hard to build the place up. Nothing like kicking someone when they are down.
-
Not me mate... its the public to blame !! not enough people about... quietest its ever been here in Hisaronu for late May.. as ALL INCLUSIVES are starting to affect the area. I would love there to be a dance show,believe me, but unfortunately the group didnt research enough and be fair... their opening night three weeks ago was a disaster... good luck to them but I fear that by July / August when they might get enough people in there to hold a show, it might be too late
-
Does anyone know whats happened to all the old staff the worked in Big Break? are they still in there or elsewhere?
-
As far as i know when Big Break closed a few went to Aloha - don't know who's still there. Frankie is not in Hisaronu anymore.
-
Ahmet is in Eski Bar, i think, he left The Mask.

We found about sixty flyers in our garden today advertising The Mask Gypsy Passion Showbar. The flyers look most impressive, Kenyan acrobats,mongolian circus acts etc but sixty is rather a lot of flyers for one house!
Has someone been paid to deliver these I wonder and just dumped them in our garden?:D

Maybe he would have helped himself if he had turned up at the Calis Carnival Concert. We were willing to give him all the publicity that we could.

Sorry but are you saying that Ilker didn't perform at Calis Carnival Concert as advertised? I was only teher in teh afternoon and not the evening?

No he cancelled 10 mins before he was due to appear after we changed all the running order for him. Emine the compere spoke to him. He said he was coming then didn't.
Posters and programmes were delivered to him and I had several meetings with him in the previous weeks but he still couldnt be bothered to call me and say if there was a problem. I was very dissapointed as I think he is brilliant and I really wanted to help the new bar.
-
Very silly man and alot of respect from him has gone ! I will not go to the Mask bar now!!

We went to Mask a couple of weeks ago and were disappointed. Having seen the dancers last year at a local restaurant where they put on a brillinat 20 minute show we were really looking forward to it. Nothing started until 11.30 and then there were far too long and frequent breaks. I realise that this is to encourage people to stay and drink but we just got fed up, went home and won't be rushing back.
