Friday night fun at Diablas
Ok, third club on my time here in Austin. First time at this place. I arrived after a lousy date and figured a few more drinks would be just what I needed. I arrived at 11pm and security was a bit odd. Started talking about some $20 membership deal and I just kinda waved him off after the pat down and walked in and paid the $20 cover and got my wrist band.
The place was bumping. You walk in and the long bar is to your immediate left. $9 coronas. There are technically 4 stages but only 3 were in use and not sure if the small one in the middle of the floor ever gets used. The place is pretty much just one big room with quite a few tables set up. Most dudes were with friends. Not too many lone wolf guys like me, if any at all. A lot of guys were enjoying buckets of beer so maybe they have a good special on those.
VIP is past the bar, and as mentioned in a previous review, its got two long sides. On the right is a long row of seats. All seperated and pretty private. On the other side is the Cabanas. I thought the curtains were thick with complete privacy but I could be wrong. When I first went back to "take a look", security was quick to say "its well worth it to get a Cabana". I'm sure you know what that means.
I sat down to just watch the show and one mindless, poorly mannered cubana after another approached me. I do speak Spanish so that helped. None of the women really appealed to me with their high pitched whiny voices, until Laura came along. 28 year old single mom that had been there for about 7 months and previously worked as a cashier in a hardware store in Havana. She made great eye contact and was super sincere. I bought her a beer and we went back for 2 dances. She let me touch her anywhere I wanted and eventually she had some serious stick shift going on. 2 dances led to 6 and well we were going at it pretty good. She didnt hesitate with anything, fellas. Super sweet gal and I was happy she had Zelle to send her some money for the dances and a big tip. $250 all in. The only turn off was when we walked out of VIP, she told me that the dances are actually $20 and for every dance, you owe the VIP security $5. The funny thing is that he doesnt keep track of how many songs we were back there for and even asked me. She said I owed him $30, but I just gave her $20 to give to him and lectured her on being honest, if thats even now the system works.
I had a few more beers, and just wrote up my notes and then took off around 1:30. I am told the bar(alcohol sales) closes down at 2am and then it becomes an after hours place. I did see they also had Hookah. I was also told "the American girls arrive after 2am". I didnt see any chicas besides Cubanas and most were thicker.
Oh and Cabana prices I was quoted was $300 for thirty minutes and $600 for an hour. And you pay the chica on top of that. Loco.
One last note. While I was sitting in my car, hydrating up for the ride home, I saw an obvious dancer come out in casual clothes and get into a big pick up truck. She didnt have any of her things. So she gets in the passenger side, the truck is on, and he puts up a windshield visor and who knows what was a going on in there after that. Just an interesting observation.
