Late Nite Parlour, Parlatuvier
Posted: Sat Mar 10, 2007 2:26 pm
Hi Folks
We have passed through Parlatuvier frequently during the last five weeks, both during the day and at night. A small village bar – the ‘Late Nite Parlour’ – has constantly intrigued us.
This small establishment, consisting of an open area beneath a tin roof, can be found on a sharp bend, about half-way through the village. The name is hand-painted on a large board beside the road. You can’t miss it.
We have been keenly following this establishment’s progress. We were disappointed to find that patronage in February seldom exceeded one man and a dog. We assume one is the proprietor/manager/barman. Maybe they introduced a special offer, because patronage doubled in March. In fact one evening last week Jill claims that she saw three people in the bar. But no dog. I’m not totally convinced that I believe her. I am naturally concerned for dog. Fortunately, they don’t serve food.
I assume that Tobago has no Trades Descriptions Act so the establishment probably has no fear of being prosecuted over the possibly misleading name. The latest we have seen the bar open is 8:30pm. But local rumour has it that they were once seen open at 9pm.
Exhaustive research is the lifeblood of this site and we strive hard to maintain the accuracy of the information published here. May I therefore call upon our readership to keep us appraised of progress at this exciting establishment should they be touring the northern coast.
In fact, let’s make it interesting – the person who produces photographic evidence of the highest patronage at this establishment before the end of 2007 will win a free myTobago cap.
