Proof that the owner is always at the forefront of the news, from major holidays in the calendar to sporting events, in order to create a friendly atmosphere in this place of life. Football decoration soon gives way to Christmas decoration. And the show is on TV as it is in the lounge: at the same time that the match is being rebroadcast on the big screen, Patricia Perez is running, screaming, jumping, watching … and finding it normal! It receives its regular clientele during special events, especially on game nights. “We take care that there is no excess from the outside. I have regulars who say my establishment is their second home, Business manager explains. It brings together all nationalities: Moroccan, Portuguese, Turkish, French… Everyone is vigilant to avoid any excess that could harm this moment of celebration. It should be noted that it is a relaxing moment for everyone. And when a team wins or loses, you need to know how to maintain your good mood: football is just a game! This is the message I would like to send to all of Nim’s supporters.”
