Perhaps you could buy it with your lottery win?

If only kc99, if only. My lottery win will only stretch to 25 more tickets........but I live in hope.

Seriously though, I will really miss Parc. My fave uptown bar.

Are you all meaning Parc Kalkan........surely this isn't closing.I've pre ordered my Efes and pre booked my seats for the world cup matches !!!!!!

[samson]

we were in town last night and the bar lights were on but it was closed!

[DRBD]

Just to confirm that Parc is closed for business at this  time.  Am sure there will be further updates on the situation in due course when more information is known & confirmed.

Hi DRBD,

Do you think it is a permanent thing or is there a chance that they may be doing a little bit of updating for the new season......I hope its the latter.

[kevincat99]

Mayday1 - no it's the former - they are closed

[kalkan4eva]

I know this was a particular favourite with the ex-pat community, particularly out of season, so it's a great shame if the closure is permanent.

[hobbo]

not sure what's happening but their facebook page is still active with a post today regarding forthcoming Exercise to Music. so perhaps they are just taking a well deserved break...

Mayday1 -

 The update on the Parc is as of yesterday - it is not opening on a daily basis as previously, it will be open for such things a table tennis, art class it will be run by the 2 lads who have been working there.  It is possibly going to be under new management but this again is uncertain at this time.  So in effect it is closed as we have known it, the information given on here at the time was correct, there will be further updates.  Hope this helps a little, there is still some uncertainty as to its future.  Some of us here are still confused but will no doubt be informed if & when.

Does this mean that Cenk and his wife have departed?

[felicity]

No - they are both still there - saw them both at Parc yesterday!

[MartynE]

Latest is that officially, Parc is dead.... but there will be a "son of Parc" this year on the same site and still run by Cenk, but with a new name "Limonlu Bahce". There will be a quiz night there on Tuesday.

It will always be known as The Parc! I was told yesterday by someone who goes regularly its a publicity stunt,anyway its working,as lot of people are talking about it!

[pw]

I'm guessing that translates to Lemon Garden but I can't see my self saying to mrs w "let's have a swift one in the Limonlu Bahce on the way down" though so I'm reverting to "Parc"

After speaking to Cenk last night I'd say it's not so much a publicity stunt as a genuine attempt to do something a bit different. Watch this space...he has some interesting ideas
