I've noticed in the daytime, they will serve you the beer in a brown paper bag and at night they will give it to you with the napkin wrapped around it. Perhaps it has something to do with the moisture "con vestida de novia" around the bottle and keeping the drinkers hands dry? It's still a colmado and many dominicans will stop in for un pequena fria para lleva, so they put it in brown bag for you. Other colmados do the same.

I spoke with a owner of a bar close to El Flow, And he said they pay the same price of a beer 50 peso, so he believed they sold drugs there too, since it was no profit on selling beers . Well, that was his words.
I normally visit El Flow when I go out in Sosua, have been friend with one of the security guards, well, I buy him some beer.
Sometimes is it funny to speak some of the locals, since I can little Spanish.
And it is also great to see that Dominicans also own some places, not only foreigners
But I always very careful there, since I see El Flow like a Dominican place and believe you easy can fast get in trouble if you don't show some respect.
And they will take over the X club, that will be fun, often lesser peoeple and fewer girls there than Classico.
Kind of sounds like a bad western where they try to make a cowboy dance by shooting at his feet...
OK Hombre, Bachata......bang........OOPS....lo siento
So what was it, two Dominicans?
Not good for business having a shooting at the place. I thought there was no crime in the tourist areas? Hopefully they caught the shooter and everyone is ok. Its definitely dangerous being in large crowds like that when someone shoots off a gun as innocent bystanders can get hit and the chaos it usually causes can get other innocent people hurt.
You obviously don't frequent Sosua, The place never emptied out,just take the injured to the hospital and the party continues.Not bad for business at all.
It was probably only one shot, and from a small caliber with the music blaring and over before everybody realized what happened...
You dont have to sit inside,sit outside and enjoy the sites or sit at Latinos and get hit over the head for beers at double the price and mixed drinks triple the price.
i dont care for el flow.
however, to be fair, i should note, i never went inside. only walked through on my way to latinos and classico.
it just was really, REALLY crowded every night, and mostly local. mae me feel very unwelcome.
perhaps i WAS welcome.. i just felt like i wasnt. when i walked through, it seemed that all eyes were on me .. like .. "why is this gringo here sleeping with our women ,and now walking through our bar"
and as mentioned earlier in the thread.. there was no shortage of ladies groping as you walked through.
i felt "at home" at latino's .. even if i was paying too much for far too many santo libre's
