Paradigm Bar launches in Puerto Portals

I was lucky enough to be invited to the pre-opening party on Friday 20th April, where a select few got a sneak preview of the brand new venue. So at 19.30, we arrived and were handed a glass of Veuve Clicquot champagne as we walked in, which perfectly set the tone for what was to come.

The décor was modern, clean and minimal, with ample attention to detail. The combination of grey leather seating and grey tiled floors were complemented by the walls adorned with green foliage. The backlights and strip lighting were highlights, as they created a cosy but classy atmosphere.

We headed to the far side of the bar overlooking the north side of the port and sipped on our cocktails before a waiter came over to our table with a tray of cocktails. We were informed they were a concoction of gin and elderflower, amongst other things and hastily grabbed a glass each.

The drinks were absolutely excellent, as was the service which was especially good. The staff were continually topping up our drinks and taking away empty glasses from our table over the course of the evening. It was a particularly nice touch when Raul, the manager, came over to introduce himself to our party.

The crowd was glamorous on the Friday evening, it’s definitely a ‘dress to impress’ kind of place. I imagine there will be no official dress code here but you wouldn’t want to arrive here looking anything but fabulous. Think designer shirts and skirts ladies and gents! According to reports, some famous faces were spotted at the white party on Saturday 21st April, including the Queen of the Jungle herself Georgia Toffolo, and I expect we will be seeing some more familiar faces in due course!

The official opening was on Thursday 26th April, and with the creators of Sintillate behind this bar, we are expecting some epic parties this summer. So, if you are after an exclusive-feeling venue with innovative cocktails, shisha and supreme service, make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment.
