Hey JD - no offense intended - ya didn't specify you were just looking for info ONLY from bar owners and/or locals - sorry I chimed in. The info for bars available by searching is still pretty accurate, just in case you're interested. And in case no one let you know - SP is not the place to stretch hard earned $$ - it's on the upper end if you're looking to party in the bars - Simon's delivery service is an excellent option as drinking at "home" is always cheaper! But the traditional advice dispensed here about bringing half the clothes you think you'll need and double the cash holds true! As long as you bring enough money you will love your trip - SP is great, from the food to the sea to the people!
Oh - and your posts don't bother me - you just seem a little tense about getting all the details worked out before you arrive and that approach just doesn't work for a vacation in SP - IMHO.
