La Roca restaurant Sosua
Still closed and when and if it will open again as a restaurant is anyone's guess.
When John left, the people that ran the restaurant closed for an extended period for remodeling, than opened as a pseudo Argentine steak house. The customers had found other restaurants and after a time the place closed. Without paying the employees their severance pay. Most had quite a bit coming since they had been there quite a while.
The employees made a complaint to the Dept of Labor, which definitely frowns on such practices. Until the ex-employees are paid what is coming to them, the place can't open.
As you said, there has been some remodeling going on, for what reason, I don't know. It seems to be more puttering than serious renovation.
In any case the place is closed as a restaurant and may still be closed on your next visit. There is a For Sale sign on the building.
Should it sell the owners would limited as to what they could. It is designated as an historical building.
La Roca is a good example of a restaurant that was popular because of who was running it.
La Roca and PJs
The newly reopened La Roca is doing well, according to my source of street information. He says that the people who were going to the newly renovated and reopened PJs for breakfast and lunch are now going across the street to La Roca where the prices are lower.
Fighting back, PJ's is advertising 2x1 special for meals purchased between 6-8pm on Wednesday and Friday. That is worth taking advantage of while it lasts.

La Roca advertises angus beef and I asked if their hamburgers were also angus beef and the waiter said yes.
Needless to say it was dominican beef and I could have had the angus beef burger from Maura mai for the same price but La Roca said they char grill the burger....I won't be back !

The only question left is which one will close their doors first!
Major changes this week at the Hess Property with some new construction for a roof canopy type design.
Rumba Bar was packed at 7pm tonight and they erected a new sign today so there has been some upgrades in the areas that draw the most tourists to Sosua.

Rumba Bar and El Flow are in a price war with the beer. Weekdays a large Presidente is 71 Pesos at each place, and 100 pesos on the weekend. So both are packed, and very little profit for them.
