If Cabarete is filled with euro yuppies, expats and trust fund kids then it would be doing better than it is.
Cabarete is hardly filled at all. It has been rather un-filled for years now.
That is because of the lack of flights that are overpriced and have bad connections, lack of hotels, and Punta Cana having what is missing on the north coast for most tourists. So, they go elsewhere for the cheap flights and plentiful hotels.
The failure of the Lazy Dog has several reasons. Some are well beyond the normal reasons for a failure of a beach bar.
I dont think that is what he meant ..
Cabarete , has become SNOOTY, and over priced .. in many ways .
No bar name mentioned ,, but a place where we used to go sit for happy hours , completely turned us off when a waitress deliberately made us miss the last chance for another round of drinks before happy hour ended , and YES we were going to stay for DINNER.. a Party of 6 people ..
She literally dragged her feet for 10 full minutes so we would miss it ...
... we got up and LEFT , and never ever went back there again ... They were so busy trying to use the Table for the Trust fund and Yuppie crowd, they forgot who their bread and butter was .. a TABLE full of expats and their guests , drinking, and having a nice time , Ready to order Dinner next . and who would bring a LOT more customers to them , in the long run
a cant Lose scenario
so .. Some of them deserve exactly what they are getting now.. They guessed WRONG.. and they lost .
