WARNING Buzz bar

Just come back from Borrovets. My son went to the Buzz bar on the first night of a holiday and was made feel very welcome with free drinks shots etc. Had a good night so went back the following night. Again they give him drinks and shots and plyed him with cheap vodka . The barstaff were taking photos with his camera and phone but were still friendly and still pouring drink down him as he is only 18 this was new to him.

Just come back from Borrovets. My son went to the Buzz bar on the first night of a holiday and was made feel very welcome with free drinks shots etc. Had a good night so went back the following night. Again they give him drinks and shots and plyed him with cheap vodka . The barstaff were taking photos with his camera and phone but were still friendly and still pouring drink down him as he is only 18 this was new to him. He asked for his camera and his phone back of the bar staff as he was going the refused so then the secririty stepped in and man handled him outside the secrurity were armed with guns and knives . He asked to go back in and get his camera and phone but was refused. They pushed him to the groung and tore hos gold chain off. We went back the following night and managed to get his coat back but no phone or camera , they tried to blame it on the English . But it was not it was the Bulgarian barstaff or the secrity praying on young people, I also think the drinks had been spiked as when he got back to the hotel he was halicinating and very strange. whilst we were on holiday we heard of 3 more boys who had lost there phones and other belongings I dread to think what they did to the girls . This was our 4th time in Borrovets and our last .

We did report it to the police several times but they were not interested. Also one of our party had a bag stole from the airport with an Ipod and phone in .

re: WARNING Buzz bar

Most of the cheap cocktails are made using counterfeit alcohol, with unsurprisingly dramatic results. But if you're sending your kid out on his own in a foreign land to get blotto I don't think you will elicit a tremendous amount of sympathy. Its going to be his drunken word against the sober locals (who have photographic evidence). What did the police say?

re: WARNING Buzz bar

They should have given you a police report so you could at least claim on the insurance.

re: WARNING Buzz bar

He wasnt on his own and he is 18 so it wasnt his word against the locals . Nobody can justify it surely . Photographic with a camera and a phone that doent belong to them dont make me laugh . As i said before this was our 4th time and had no problems before . We have older children who have been out and about in Borrovets so are not totaly naive.

re: WARNING Buzz bar

I am very angry how some peolpe seem to think it is right to rip people off and how we should just accept it . I have been a big supporter of Borovets so i feel let down by this behavour and dont see how it can be condoned.

TOTALY SUPPORT YOU LIZZIE. WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES OR WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND THE BUZZ BAR HAS NO DEFENCE .
I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THE BUZZ BAR SO CANT COMMENT ON WHAT ITS NORMALLY LIKE.
I'VE FOUND IN THE PAST THAT DEALING WITH THE BUGARIAN POLICE IS A LOT EASIER IF YOU HAVE YOUR SKI INSTRUCTOR WITH YOU WHO WILL BE ON YOUR SIDE.
I DO RECALL GETTING A REPORT NUMBER WAS A HASTLE AND COULDNT OF DONE IT WITHOUT MY INSTRUCTOR

I WILL GET MY FREIND FROM SAMAKOV ...

Why should us "locals" be defending the Buzz Bar???.......the Buzz bar should be defending there own actions with an explanation.
