A BAR in the Magalluf district of Calvià (Mallorca) which hosted an 'oral sex for free drinks' evening has been shut down for 12 months and fined 55,000 euros by the town council.
Playhouse, on the Punta Ballena strip, became infamous overnight when a young British woman was videoed giving 24 men in a line oral sex within five minutes in order to earn herself a free cocktail worth just 4.80 euros.
The excursion company Carnage Magalluf, which organised the pub crawl that included the visit to Playhouse and supported the 'sex for drinks' game has also been sanctioned with a year's closure and a share of the massive fine.
Both Playhouse and Carnage have two weeks to appeal against the council's decision.
Carnage says it will definitely do so, but Playhouse has not yet commented.
At first, the council had trouble finding a legal principle to 'hang' it on, since in theory the incident took place between consenting adults in a privately-owned bar, but the bar has been fined for a 'serious offence' under the Protection of Minors and Teenagers Act, which prevents any pornographic material or displays being shown in public premises where under-18s may be present.
Although the participants were aged over 18, the bar allows customers aged 14 to 16 accompanied by an adult to enter up to 02.00hrs.
