Yes, we know Oben is at the Koca end, always meant to give it a try, so will bite the bullet this time and do it.
Thanks for the tip.

I take it, it was Charlie dancing on the bar, he's always doing that kind of thing  :)

Not my cup of tea though.

No idea, very fat, huge belly, very hairy and sweaty with a Galatasaray shirt on.

O.K. my secret is out... It was the gyrating belly whist eating my dinner that got me hooked. I was mesmerised. 
How could I resist?   :)

Yes, that's Charlie, love him to bits, and he helped make my hen night memorable. I haven't recovered from his lime green mankini!
Such fun...

Nil don't do this regularly, they tend to react to the mood of who they have in on the night and turn into a party if that's what people seem to want.
I guess you'll never gauge that to suit the entire restaurant, but do happen to know some people were there and wanting a bit of a party that night.

Sorry it spoilt your experience, don't be put off as not always like that.

I avoided the Nil like the plague when we first came, because of stuff I read on CBF.
We're not regular bar people but we happily go in there from time to time.
Really love their staff, good honest food at sensible prices and Angel is just lovely.

As said she contributes to the charities, and has even long term nursed expats here who have no family. She has the hugest heart

Charlie's bar dancing is legendary,  in my opinion          :)

My sister, my daughter, my mum and me, at my hen night and of course Charlie

Dennis Vint, it's the opposite end from the Sat. Passed Letoon, the Mimosa beach club (at least that was what it was called) and just round the bend.   :). Its on the left.

Yes, that's tbe guy. I realise that some people love the loud music and bar dancing, just not for us, but we will continue to visit the Nil as the food is lovely and prices are very good, also, as said staff are excellent  It would not put me off going there, just not on a Saturday night.     ;)
Anyway,  I don't think I am coordinated enought to do the actions for YMCA.  ;D
