As noted by the previous reviewer, Newport is a classic ‘free-lancer’ bar. The location is excellent, in a good area next to multiple bars and restaurants: and the bar has seating in the side-walk area as well as inside. As it is a bar, there is no entrance fee, although beer prices are high (390 pesos): girl drinks are the same price. There were 20-30 girls, of average to fairly good quality: some are more or less normally dressed, others showing a lot. Most are Argentinian: of the others, most seem to be from the Dominican Republic. Some girls will come up and introduce themselves, and you can ask them to join for a drink, or suggest they come back later. (The Dominicans were quite touchy-feely, to encourage you: the Argentinians more discreet.) Other girls hang back, but are obviously happy for you to come and chat. The price for going out to your hotel is $100 for short time, and $200 for all night. Overall, a decent experience, and no need to overspend.

I called into FIlmores at about 10:00 on a Saturday evening. Entry was free, and beers were about 10 CAD with tip, albeit for a rather small size. So a good start! There were 10-20 girls, and maybe a few more patrons, half-a dozen of the guys sitting around around the only dance floor. The floor was occupied continuously, which is great. Girls did three songs, the first being fully clothed, the second perhaps with bra off, and the last - if you were lucky - fully naked: most did no go that far. Dancing was mediocre to OK, none really showing great skills. Girls all with good bodies, some tats but none too many. Unlike in Calgary, the girls were not putting a show on stage to get tips – coins thrown at critical areas, handing out photos, etc. This was US style, with the girls simply trying to attract customers to go to for a lap-dance. While there were a lot a reasonably secluded areas in the main bar, the dances were all upstairs, which by this time was getting busy. I did not indulge, but by all accounts the price and reward is reasonable. Certainly worth a go. NB: reviews say the area is a bit ‘sketchy’: nothing problematic that I could see, I would not let that put you off.

Brix is considered by many the premier free-lancer (FL) bar in Singapore. It is the night-club of the Grand Hyatt hotel, and as such a very high class and totally safe venue (as is all of Singapore, it seems). The bar opens at 9 pm, to the small hours. It is quiet till about 10:30, then fills up to become completely packed. Hotel guests enter free by one entrance; others pay 30 Singapore dollars (S$) at another (which includes one drink). Drinks are expensive, but so is all of Singapore – a pint of Tiger beer will cost S$18 (about US$14). There is a main bar area, with band area and a dance floor: additionally there are two side bars, and a smoking area. The female clientele is almost exclusively FLs, at first mainly East Europeans, and later Asian girls – mainly Vietnamese, with some mainland Chinese and Thai girls. All are 9-10: most seem in their 20s (though with Asian girls, who can be sure) and immaculately dressed: this is VERY high class. The girls will generally not approach, but give one a smile or nod and they will be at your side right away. Then it’s chat time (most have some English), and maybe get them a drink (normal price). Most seem to do short time .. 30 minutes to an hour .. cost is about S$350 (Asian girls, anyway): probably not much leeway, they know you are well off if you are here. If you’re in the hotel, you go to your room: no hotel issue whatsoever, and the girl will be treated by the doorman with full courtesy – this is Asia. Frankly, this bar is a must in Singapore, even is only looking: you will rarely see so many available beautiful girls in one place. One warning: have a condom, the girls seem not to carry them here. If you are more strapped for cash, go to Orchard Towers, MUCH less classy, but safe and interesting – see my report on this one.

Having some free time mid Sunday PM, I thought to check out the Hustler Club: it's well located, a couple o blocks from the big riverside casinos. It is a large club, with two bars, multiple stages, a semi-private downstairs lap-dance area (usual pricing) and a large upstaris VIP area. Smoking allowed, unfortunately. Girls topless by second dance, with reasonably skimpy bikini bottoms. The good news: only $5 entry, and $1.25 beer. Bad news: cheap at this hour for no reason – almost now girls. 4 in total, all with regular customers, although they did all rotate and the main stage was occupied all the time I was there. Girl quality: 6-8, no bad, just too many tats. Dancing ability: OK, nothing special. OK for an hour of viewing, but never had a chance to check out lap-dance skills .. I would not give up on it though, just have to go later, and later in the week, I guess.

I had a long layover between flights, so decided to give the United Club a miss and instead took an Uber to St James Cabaret on Rankin Road. Evening cover is $15, but the club is very high class (they even have a helipad, they say!) and for once I did not mind the charge. Large and airy club, with two floors (upper one great for private dances): central stage and side stages on the floor. Girls are almost all 8+, with plenty of 9s and even better: extremely impressive viewing, especially as clothing is minimal. I sat at the bar and chatted to a couple of patrons .. officially they were finishing their golf round, but decided it better to spend the last few holes here – why not! While I did not try the lap dances, they told me these are the standard $20, which is pretty good given the high quality of the girls. Drinks were pretty normally priced, and there is a decent free buffet. Only negatives: (1) this is outside the city, so smoking is allowed: not nice at all, and (2) there was no cell phone reception, which is pretty concerning if you are checking on flight status (etc). But overall a great break – maybe we can get United to get a few of the girls into the Club at George Bush!!??

A revisit to Chicas Locas – last visit well over a year ago. Key aspects unchanged: very spacious club, with four stages occupied all the time I was there (late afternoon on a week-day). Lots of girls, generally 7-9, almost all Latina, and most of those Cuban. Many enhanced, but not all. A variety of skin tones. Drink specials at $1 for a small draft beer. Dance area on the side, pretty open but no problem when it is not crowded – also a VIP area, but key to the club is to identify the girl that will give good value in the open area. Be prepared to spend a few bucks on the girls on stage: the girl you want will be happy to rub up against you plenty, and maybe even give you a peek at her pussy. If the girl does not, best to avoid .. odds are against her giving value in the table dance. I made my choice, and was not disappointed – highly energetic dances, much of the time with her pussy on view, and allowed touching. No worries about the open-ness of the area. She made clear she would have gone further if I had wished, though I did not take this up or investigate the details. In summary, in my view by far the best value in Houston, a great choice of girls, very willing, in a fairly safe area. One caution: speaking some Spanish really helps here.

Visited Showgirls in the early evening, during a brief visit to Auckland. Free entry, and well priced drinks – a beer was only $8NZ much the same as in any bar. The lounge is clear and well-maintained, with a couple of stages. Girls were dancing on the main stage, and you could sit around it, or near it, and get a fine view. I guess there were about 10 clients, and about the same number of girls, some sitting with a guy. The girls danced a typical three songs, stripping to naked by the last one. Girls were 8-9, giving a good show, no complaints! During the set, and at the end, the girls would come round the spectators looking for a tip – the change for your drinks comes as the relevant number of $2 bar cash, and typically you tip the girl with one of these. After a couple of rounds with a single girl, they stared putting two girls on the stage at once, and each girl would come round. Personally, I did not like this system: there was no choice whether you tipped the girl or not. In the US (Texas at least) it is discretional, you tip the girls you fancy up at the stage and how they respond to tip often gives you an idea how they will work out in a lap dance. And you have a chance to see a reasonable selection of girls before you make your choice. While I was intended to have a dance or two, the system annoyed me and I left. I guess it is the NZ way, but I was not impressed. Be that as it may, it is a good locale if you don’t mind the system: and given the reasonable price for the bar drinks, overall the cost is acceptable.

Chicas Bonitas is good value for money: for sure not a high class place, but on balance is that your main criterion? I arrived just after they opened, at 11:1,5 as I had a PM meeting. Dead and some clearing going on, but by 11:30 here were half a dozen girls, with one always on the stage. Entry was $5, pretty cheap, although drinks were on the expensive side at $7. The reviews suggest the location is rather dingy, with a bathroom to be avoided .. frankly, as I noted above, that is not the biggest concern, it is the quality of the girls. These varied from 4 to 8, with a near-even mix of white, Hispanic and black. A couple of the girls were on the heavy side for me, hence the 4, but were getting dances anyway and seemed to be giving value for money. Girls wore bikinis, but took their tops off for the last of their dances on stage. Table dances were only $10 in the main area of the bar, so I tried out a couple of girls. First a white girl, a 7: she tried hard, but it didn’t work for me. Then I saw a darker skinned girl on the stage – was making all the right moves with a guy, so I gave her a buck to check it out. It was very clear that she had the right idea, so asked her for a couple of dances. Cuban girl, an 8 at least, cute. Had 3 dances in the end, on the couches at the side – she had all the right moves, great, plenty of touching. Regretting having to leave to go to a meeting. In summary, highly recommend this place .. at $10 dances, with plenty of willing girls, what’s to complain about .. have fun!

Frankly, this bar is a must in Singapore, even if only looking: you will rarely see so many available beautiful girls in one place. One warning: have a condom, the girls seem not to carry them here.

La Vie en Prost is a strip bar in the Amsterdam red light district. It has a 5 Euro cover charge (at least in the late PM when I visited), and beers are 6 Euros .. not unreasonable. Inside there is a bar area, rather crowded, and a stage with 2 or 3 girls dancing in front of bar stools with close-up drinkers. The girls move through a series of numbers, in increasing undress until naked. Generally in the 7-8 range. The idea is that the punters in front pay the girls and then they will come up close, and even jump onto the guy and do a quick lap dance. Normal lap dances are 10 Euros dressed and 20 Euros naked. I did not try this, as I had other ideas – see later. A nice touch – the barmaids are topless, actually with a top that they pull down below their tits. Actually, I thought them cuter than the dancers. The club is in a narrow alley, right next to an entry which opens up into a covered area with a series of rooms around it, each with a bed and a girl (if the curtains are not drawn). The girls stand and the door and try to entice you in. Again, 7-8 range. It’s rather like the window shopping in the street, but to me rather more pleasant as there is some privacy for the essential discussion with the girls. The going rate is 50 Euros for a ‘suck and fuck’, which will take 10-15 minutes or so. More time or more services extra. To my view, much better value than the club: best plan, have a couple of beers in the club, then hit the alley.

Xotica is now the Penthouse Club, at least it is the same location. I arrived with a member, so entrance was free other than a tip for the door girl, and first drink was free .. good start! Later beers were A$12.50, not too bad by Perth standards. The club has high class décor .. it has a couple of rows of seats facing the stage, with couches behind and a bar area to the right. When I came in two girls were dancing naked on the stage .. both 9-10 .. great bodies. They did good pole work, and at the end one climbed the poles topless with a cloth to clear them .. I will hire that cleaner any day! There was a continuous stage show, sometimes one head-lined girl, other times up to three. You can tip the girls on stage, and they will also come by to give a little demonstration of their skills. Some of the pole work was really athletic, these girls know their way around a pole! As you watch, girls will come by discretely to introduce themselves .. all 9+. However, when I asked the price it turned out to be A$100 for a naked private lap dance. Too much for me, so I’m afraid I can’t comment on the quality of the dance … That’s over to you, the next customer .. if you have $$, I'm sure you will have a good time ..

Playmates is far from being a high class club, but it does have its advantages. Entry is free, parking is free, and the beers are normally priced, so a quick check of the locale is not going to break the bank. I noted that the couches seem to have been re-upholstered, so it is not quite as dingy as others have suggested. It is a club where the girls have to cover up top, which I dislike very much, but we have to live with that, comes with the entry price. The club is small, with one stage and without any VIP area, so 'private' dances are pretty well open to everyone to see. I went there in the late evening, mid-week, and there were about 10 girls, quality 7-8 I guess, many hispanics but not all. After checking out the girls on stage I had a couple of dances with an 8 .. pleasant girl, good conversation, which I like also! Normal price. Dances were good, plenty of touching .. decent value. In the past I have had more action here from girls that I know, but given the proximity of others that evening, and the fact that the girl did not know me, I thought it more than reasonable. Worth a visit .. If you don't like it, nothing lost.

Had an hour to kill before dinner, so checked out the Flint clubs on tuscl. 'Little Darlings' seemed the best. A big place, so even though there were a decent number of customers on a Friday early evening (maybe 20), it seemed quite empty. About 10 entertainers visible, most with a guy. Well decorated, clean. Entry was $5 (reasonable), and a beer $3.50 (they also have cheap drink specials during the week). No dances on the big stage when I came in, so I was a bit worried .. but it was just a short break. Non-stop girls after that, three dances each. Girl appearance and dance quality – 7 to 8. Topless for the second and third dances, good pole work. Mainly white girls, a bit over-tattooed for my taste. Saw one a liked, and she came over after her dances – decent chat (music not too loud), which I like, and no pressure from the girl. Got the price low-down, and went for a topless dance ($20). These are on open leather benches on the sides, so very visible, but the girl did a good job, all over me let me, let me suck her tits .. my zipper was straining! Full length songs too. There are benches behind and some VIP rooms which I had no time to sample – more expensive, but based on initial experience probably worth a shot with the right girl.

Rosas is open 24 hours, 7 days a week, so a good option for those with only a short time, or a challenging schedule, in Madrid. (Previously called Sauna Bar). The bar is conveniently located on the main N-S drag though Madrid, close to the Plaza Castilla in the north (about 180 Paseo de la Castellana, close to the Cortefiel store). I went in in the mid afternoon: no cover charge, and with three girls present. Quality: 5-7, a mix of Latin American and East European. Client drinks are 10 euros. Have a drink at the bar and one of the girls will come up to chat .. no big pressure initially to buy them a drink which is nice, and in my experience unusual .. initial chatting, at least, is free! If you want to go a bit further, a girl drink at the bar is 40 euros (rather steep!), or 50 Euros in a private area. I did not try this out, but it sounds a much superior choice! And to go even further, the bar has in-house rooms, where a 30 minute session costs 105 euros, and a full one hour session 200 euros. Value for money? Reasonable, though you probably get a better deal with a girl from one the escort agencies, of which there are many and easily found on the web.

My normal girl on Telephone Road was out of town, so decided to revisit Sky High. I had been there some months ago, and was impressed by the high standard of the bar .. nicely decorated and well cared for. Most of the ladies are rather too old for me, but I was intrigued by a younger one who seemed to be the owner, Forever I believe her name. Good body, nice legs, pretty .. I had been waiting an opportunity to check her out in more detail. Had a couple of drinks with her, good chat (good English), and she got me real excited with those legs! Play time seemed in order, so we made a deal .. reasonable I thought. Played in a room round the back, again well appointed and very clean. Undressed, she did not disappoint .. then a great kneeling bj, followed by mish ... first class, I really enjoyed and will be back ..

Back in Bogota, had another look at Troya (Carrera 16A # 23-89). It is really the only place with a show open in the afternoon, and even in the early evening the others are pretty deserted by comparison. Beers (Sunday PM) were only 4000 pesos, unlike 5000 pesos when I was last here .. not sure if this was a deal, or I simply was being (slightly) ripped off before. Saw girls doing naked table-dances, so decided to give this a shot this time. Price was 25000 pesos ($8) for what were pretty long songs. Great dances, full touching, though not cheap compared to the going rate for the full deal upstairs. Confirmed upstairs price between 50,000-70,000 pesos (about $20) for 20 minutes, with up to 10,000 pesos for ‘add-ons’ (room, condom, etc). Girls give value for $, especially as most are keen to set up an evening session outside of the club. Whatever you want, this is a decent and good value visit.

After about 6 months from my last review, I went back to Chicas Locas to check it out in the later afternoon on a Sunday. Club was buzzing despite the early hour, with lots of girls and the night shift beginning to show up. As always, cheap beer ($1 draft) and other drinks on offer, so the $9.50 entry does not hurt much. Girls mainly Central American (including Mexico) and Cuban. After a suitable period checking out the girls on the stages (now 4), I picked a couple for a dance .. one was from San Salvador and the other from Cuba. The San Salvador girl had a fantastic ass, which soon was in super close contact .. got me excited in no time (despite being a bit jaded from previous efforts), and did some limited gear changing as well. The Cuban girl was also great, though a little bit less inclined to get hands-on. I did not check to see if more was on offer, as it used to be in the past, but doubt this would be an option, without going to VIP, given the very open seating they are now required to have in the main area. You will get your money's worth here: girls 7-9; NOT a bikini bar, its all on show; most give value for $ if you choose right; English adequate for most of them (though they love it if you speak Spanish; cheap booze; plenty of free parking).

Tried out Sky High Lounge, first in the afternoon and then in the evening. Bar is very well presented, by Telephone Rd standards – good modern furniture, very clean. Usual beer price range: $3 for a patron, and $12 for a hostess. Afternoon visit was disappointing .. lady in charge of the bar and one other, both of considerable age and neither particularly interestingly dressed. Two patrons, poorly dressed, Mexican. Evening visit was better .. bar-lady was pretty, well dressed and with sexy high boots: age uncertain, as often the case with the Asian ladies: I would guess about 40 (looks in the 30s). Bought her a couple of drinks and chatted: very friendly, good English, flirty and interesting. I would certainly have sought the opportunity to explore further, but she seemed to be on her own, and the bar was surprisingly full (about 8 guys, mainly gringo). I will return and see if there is a more quiet time and see what the follow-up is .. As it was, I moved on to Blue Cat which has more girls and I was sure of a successful visit.

Happy-Go-Lucky is one of a string of ‘K’-bars along Telephone Road, slightly to the north of the main strip. Having been to most of the others on the strip, I decided to try out Happy-Go-Lucky. Advertising the ‘Best Coctails in Houston’, but I suspected this might not be the main attraction. Parking right outside, so I went on in. Asian barmaid (50s?) serving, and I got my usual beer for the standard $3. Typically run-down, but livable .. juke-box with oldies. The barmaid gave me the usual checks, and determining that I was OK got an asian girl to come over for a beer and chat. There were two, this girl and another one sleeping on a sofa. Girl beers (tiny) $12 a go .. Girl was OK, nothing special, late 40s, I guess: good English and decent conversation, which I value. After a beer, and a stint on the jukebox, she suggested a more secluded area (a sofa, more or less out-of-sight) and she asked for another beer, which was now double the price. After some more chat and some stimulation of key areas, we negotiated a price (50 as I recall) for a full hand job. Was OK, but nothing special. Left, deciding to stick to Blue Cat in future ..

PlatinOz is one of many small strip clubs just off the Avenida de Caracas. This one is reasonably convenient to a number of key hotels – Hilton, Marriott, in the ‘G’ Zone (Calle 72) area. Entry is now 20,000 pesos (about $8), paid at the door. Inside is a long stage, empty every time I have come in. Have a seat, and the barperson will show you a list of drinks. Beers are not cheap, 20,000 pesos as I recall. The times I have been there, weekday late evening, the place is very quiet, with maybe 2 or 3 other customers, and about 5 girls. (Apparently it is more busy on the weekends, but I have not had the chance to go then.) The girls act very uninterested in the customers, chatting together or on their smart phones all the time, which is rather annoying to a newcomer. However, one of them (probably the next in turn) will eventually come onto the stage and dance, with a focus on the new customer. As the songs progress (3 or 4 in total) she will gradually strip completely. Once nude she will typically thrust her pussy in the favored customer’s face, and sit on his lap, or more .. nice! After the dance she will come by, ask for a drink (same price), and then comes the negotiation .. there is a small room for a full service experience, which is about 150,000 pesos ($60) – mid-range price for Bogota. No extras. The first time I was there I was lucky to have a ‘9’ girl, good value and genuinely friendly, GFE type. She was happy to meet up the next night at my hotel, and spend overnight for not so much more. Overall, a good experience, though I have not been so lucky on subsequent visits. I was always on my own, but felt completely safe nonetheless. The bar is worth a shot if you are in the area, but for value-for-money I recommend the cab ride to the Santa Fe district, preferably in the afternoon or early evening.

Checking out the Santa Fe district later one afternoon I saw a steady stream of patrons entering Troya. (Carrera 16A # 23-89), and decided to give it a try. Touts at the front door, but I ignored them and went on in, after a quick security check. First thing I saw, a fully naked girl dancing on the table, showing her pussy to a patron seated by the stage. Great, I though, exactly what I like to see. Beers here are good value, 5000 pesos. With no cover, this is a cheap show! Spent an hour or so just having a beer: there was almost always a girl dancing on the stage, all ending up fully nude and often putting on a special close-up show for a preferred patron (one who offers her a drink). Girl quality as always in Colombia was good, 7+, with some stunners. Less enhancement I felt than in my other favorite, Atunes, By the way, watch out if they call patrons to the stage to play with the girls: you’re going to lose most of your clothes also! After some show watching, you can chose a girl .. generally you have to be proactive and go up to them. Girl drinks are the same price, which is great, if you want to chat a bit (Spanish always a great help in Bogota). If you strike a deal, room are upstairs: girls about 50,000 pesos (just under $20) for 20 minutes. Here I did not try out the offering, but there was a steady stream of action and the patrons seemed happy!

All the dire warnings may lead you to ignore the Santa Fe district of Bogota, in favour of other very much more expensive areas. And I suspect that is very wise advice for night-time, certainly later in the night. But there is an alternative .. the afternoon. At this time most locales are pretty deserted, and the main business is on the street. But Atunes is open: in my experience it is a very good, and I believe safe, destination. It opens at about mid-day, and closes at 8:00 pm. The entry, on Carrera 16A close to Calle 23, lacks the touts that inhabit most of the doorways .. nice start. (Hard to find, by the way, no sign, but the traffic entering makes it obvious.) Walk in, no cover but there is a security check, then buy a beer at the little bar just on your right, and have a look around. Beers are an incredible 3000 pesos (about a buck). The bar area opens out into a number of different areas, with decent seating and tables. If you sit, there are plenty of waters, same price, but give them a tip. There are generally a couple of dozen girls, mostly white, and maybe twice as many men. Many of the latter seem to be office workers having a little mid-afternoon break before going home. The girls are mostly young and being Colombian (or a few Venezuelan) all are 7 or better. The majority are enhanced, front and/or butt (some really over the top!), but if you don’t like that there are enough exceptions to give a choice. No show or table dancing, this is a case of find your favorite and strike a deal. The girls don’t approach the men unless given a hint – look the girl in the eye for a minute, give a smile, and she will likely come by to check you out. If you want to get a better idea of the goods, buy the girl a drink (same price as a man’s!) Of course, Spanish is a great help here - most don’t have much English, if any. Then to business. There are plenty of rooms upstairs, adequate and with showers. 20 minutes will cost about 50,000 pesos (under $20), with the option of double that for 40 minutes (probably the best bet). No significant extras, which is nice. In my experience most of the girls are into pretty straight stuff (missionary and blow-job), but some will do anal, and one or two older ones may do rimming and/or toys. Value for money is given: most girls are keen to see if they can strike an overnight deal at your place, so that helps their enthusiasm! In summary, good value in both beer and girls: give it a shot and avoid the over-priced late night joints: have dinner in the evening instead, maybe with your afternoon conquest .. most are keen for a meal and overnight, probably around 150,000 pesos (about $50). Finally, how to get there? Any cab will take you (and Bogota cabs are cheap), maybe better ask for one of the better known bars like Piscina, or go to the Tequendama hotel and walk down (about 20 minutes). Plenty of cabs in the area to get you back.

I had the afternoon off from work and decided to check out the well known Las Paises bar in the Santa Fe district .. since the area is generally considered dangerous at night this seemed like a good opportunity to check it out. I got the cab to drop me off at Las Paises bar. Plenty of action in the street, girls waiting in almost every doorway .. but I prefer a club where I can have a beer and check out the scenery at leisure. So I went on in .. entry was free, a beer was 5000 pesos. The bar is deep with a long stage in the center, and chairs on either side. Girls can dance on the table. But unfortunately it was almost empty, afternoon seems not to be the right time. So if left and watched which of the bars in the area were having a decent number of men entering and leaving. I tried two of them, and will give each a full write up. These are both great places for an afternoon visit, both without any problems and so far as I can see fully safe.

Thought it worth to advise that this place has been closed down by the feds (late 2013), on the grounds of people trafficking. Don't know the truth or otherwise of this myself, but a court will determine. Whatever, for those who like the Troad area, there is still a great area for mongering - the bunch of Asian-run bars ("K-bars") just to the north of 610, on the west side. I've been to quite a few of these, and will separately review, but I am certain that the girls here are not under any coercion (other than the financial one, perhaps, but that is totally another thing .. ) OK, so many are a lot older than they were in Las Palmas, but they give good value, and, once you are known, these are friendly places for a beer if that's all you are after on occasion. Enjoy!!!!

Michaels International always has a great selection of girls, almost all 8+, with 10s. The majority are Hispanic (hence the alternate name), from Mexico and Central America, eager to please and make some $$. They really appreciate a non-Hispanic Spanish speaker - if that's you, you will get the best service. Entry price is reasonable for a Houston club, and for the early evening visitor they have a great drink special .. $1 draft beers, for example. Luckily they joined the group of clubs who are paying the city a premium to be able to do away with the stupid pasties, and the girls can wear (sometimes tiny!!) thongs ... as near to naked as you will get with booze to hand! And luckily their bodies suit the thongs!! Action? Well, bring along your $ (or two) and try out the girl at the side of the dance-floor: the ones who will give the best service in the lap dance will make this quite clear .. ask for a dance later, and you will not be disappointed. When to go? Try PM or early evening: they day girls are generally more prepared to give value for $, I have found the evening girls less obliging. A couple of other minor pluses .. good safe parking, friendly bouncers. When to go? If you have not been yet, give it a shot ..
