Did anyone go to Magaluf in the 90s and can help me with the name of this club/bar?

I've been taking a trip down memory lane and googling places I visited when I was younger. I did a girls holiday to Palma Nova in the late 90s and we would walk through to Magaluf most nights. I recall there was a club which I'm pretty sure was on the Torrenova headland just before getting to the main Magaluf strip. It appeared a bit 'classier' than most of the places in Magaluf and it was accessed by a staircase going straight up the right hand side of the building, so the bar/club area itself wasn't on the ground floor. Once inside, it was quite bright, white decor with (I think) purple lighting.

I know BCM has steps up to it but it definitely wasn't BCM! Can anyone help with this, it's been driving me a bit mad this morning and I'm no longer in contact with the girls I took the holiday with so can't ask them. Thanks!

Hi oh wow, I had a few holidays to Magaluf, in 2000 / 2001, brilliant times....when I read your msg, a couple of names popped into my mind....Linekers or Bananas?!!!!

I went in 1999 & again in 2002. I'd have said BCM - although I keep thinking about a club called millennium but is that something to do with BCM?

Would have so said BCM as well @chocolateoranges33 .

The only bar I can recall in that area, and this was very early 90s, was Manos.

MistletoeMeadow · 28/05/2022 21:18

Was going to say BCM…

RoyKentsChestHair · 28/05/2022 21:20

Bonkers? I only went there a couple of times and that’s the only one I remember!

Dandantho · 28/05/2022 21:54

Poco loco?

Comedycook · 28/05/2022 21:57

I also thought bcm. I'm sure there was a smaller bar attached to it but separate...unless I'm imagining it.

The only bar I can recall in that area, and this was very early 90s, was Manos.

Manos in 1995 was a fab wee pub, great atmosphere and was a great laugh, we went back in 1997 and they had done it all up and it just didn’t have the same feel to it,

OP the only club I can think that was at the top of Magaluf strip was Bananas but I don’t remember going upstairs to it.

Workinghardeveryday · 28/05/2022 22:32

bannana club?

EluneBePraised · 29/05/2022 07:01

@Dandantho that's it, Poco Loco! Just googled it and it really doesn't look as impressive as I remember (maybe it was just the best out of a bad bunch?!)

Hi I had some of my best holidays in Magaluf from the mid to late 90’s I was just talking with my friend about a night out me and my friend started with the intention to have one drink and then move on and ultimately end up trying to find the way out of BCM at stupid o’clock but we were lured into the first bar by the promise of a free shot (standard) and I noticed a sign on the wall behind the bar that said buy 5 bottles of beer and get a free T shirt and being unbelievably competitive I said to my friend I bet I can win more T shirts than you the only rule was that every time you won a T shirt you had to put it on. The following day we woke up fully clothed and had god knows how many T shirts on but for the life of me I can’t remember the name of the bar I’m pretty sure it had a blue and pink neon sign can you help

mintich · 11/12/2022 22:32

I bloody loved Poco Loco!! It was right next to the hotel Vistanova that my friends and I always stayed at

mintich · 11/12/2022 22:35

@spud83 poco loco has a blue and pink neon sign

MrsFinkelstein · 11/12/2022 22:37

Only one I remember was BCM, sorry

failedmydog · 11/12/2022 23:10

Lisa3594 · 08/08/2023 01:16

May 1999 best holiday ever in magaluf! Hotel Teix! I remember poco loco and the club millennium which I think was under BCM. I remember a foam party in there and the American Navy had docked and came into party! Who remembers Chaplins and a green drink called F**ing mentals 🤮 I went on holiday this year and had a walk around, not the same 😔

lionsleepstonight · 13/10/2023 21:12

Aww menories of a few mis spent summers!

savemyears · 13/10/2023 21:37

Oh I loved poco locos!! We stayed in a hotel round the corner so it was always our first stop on a night out. Ah memories...

Magaluf in the early 2000's in my early 20's was fantastic. I doubt I'd manage it now!
