Ace Of Spades

There are not enough stars for Ace of Spades, seriously there aren’t. If I owned a Bar I would want it to be like this place.
A few years ago when myself and my good lady wife were on Holiday on Fuerte we used to drink in Tattooz n Booze, and we loved the place, but when we visited in 09 we found to our dismay that it had closed down only a few months before we arrived (The owner Sasha had relocated to Gran Canaria). A big hole was to be found on that trip, we missed our nightly dose of Metal, Bourbon and Jaeger. Sad times indeed.
Just before we visited last year we found out that Sasha was back and that he had opened a new Bar not far from the old one Called Ace Of Spades in honour of the wartiest bass playing lead singer in the world. We were happy, very, very happy :)
On our first night we popped along after having a bite to eat, it is only a small place but with plenty of seating outside, who wants to sit inside anyway? it’s 30 degrees outside! We were served our Jim Beam and coke by the co-​owner Raphael (Rafa) possibly the nicest French man I have ever met, he served us our drinks and explained that Sasha only worked in the Bar every now and again, not to worry.
Rafa was very appologetic that his lap top wasn’t working, and that he only had his CD’s to choose from and was there anything I would like playing? I said «Have you got any Kreator?», he said yes, and before I had even sat down outside Hordes of Chaos was blasting out of the bar, Oh yes, this was going to be a good night!
Back in the Tattooz days Sasha always used to write a Heavy Matal related question on a blackboard, and if you got it right you were given a shot of Jaegermeister. The tradition continues in Ace of Spades, and Rafa is such a nice bloke, that one night upon getting the question right he not only gave myself and my wife a shot, but also the friends we were drinking with got one too, top man!
We drank there every night of the holiday, a perfect end to what is always a perfect day on Fuerteventura. I can think of hundreds of reason to visit the Island, but top of the list is Rafa and his little Heavy Metal Bar… God, I miss it!
