It''s a shame if he''s not because he''s a really nice guy but he was telling us in October that he didn''t know if he wanted to carry on with the bar because he has a young son who lives in Sweden (I think) who he misses a lot during the summer.

We were in Kalkan a couple of weeks ago and walked past the bar during the day.  The doors were open and there were a few people milling around and it wasn''t Oz or his brother and we did wonder if they didn''t have it any more.

hi turkey fan. I think you are right about oz,I also was in kalkan in october and oz said he may not be in kalkan this year as he might stay in sweden with his family. if you know oz, you might know Yusuf from pasha,I think I am right in saying yusuf is now running the bar and I am sure if he is it will be just as good because he is a really nice guy .

This bar was a regular early evening stop off place for us on our way back from the beach club water taxis. That steep walk up from the harbour needed to be broken up and Oz was a wonderful host and their two cocktails for the price of one worked wonders on my aching legs and breathlessness  ;D Amazingly, I felt as light as a feather after leaving there, and the remainder of the walk back to our apartment would pass in a blur  :o
It''s a shame if he''s not going to be there this year as he was such a nice guy - I''m sure we all wish him well.
Needless to say, we will be paying a visit (or several) this year and get to know Yusuf in the process  :laugh:

No pain, no gain Blue Lizard the Yali was far too close...we would keep going sometimes all the way up to Emir where we were staying, or more often than not fall into Moonlight where I''d have an orange juice to regain the power of speech and the ability to make sense  ;D. They were pretty potent cocktails that Oz conjured up....only hoping Yusuf is as liberal with the spirits  :laugh:

I also love the ice bar and Oz!

Recently I emailed the ice bar to see if they would have any Olympic Games coverage on their big creen during the Summer and there was an ad on the official ice bar website that advertised it''s sale......

I guess he is in Sweden then!

Anyone have any expericnece of the bar recently?

Also, does anyone think the Olympic Games will be covered somewhere??

hiya goonerno1(are you a arsenal fan by any chance ?) yes i think oz is in sweden ,he said in oct he missed his family and may not be in kalkan this summer.my friend yusuf (from pasha)now runs the ice bar,Ithink he has changed the name to pasha bar,he is agreat bloke and a one off (just like oz) I am sure the bar will be just as good as when oz had it .re:the olympics,they should be on in every bar,as I am sure they will be on turkish tv.I am back in kalkan in may(and july)and I will most likely spend most of my time in pasha/ice bar,so I will find out as much as I can. oh by the way the wife is man-u !
