Not really a strip club. There...

Not really a strip club. There is a stage and some girls dance on it but usually they are wearing bikinis and are just slowly shuffling. Occasionally, you see more but rarely. Don't come for the show.

Beer is 60 peso (£0.85 $1.33) a bottle in the afternoon which is not bad since it is 30 in 7-11. Once you sit down you will be surrounded by girls. All are at least decent and some are great. All Filipinos though and none enhanced, that suits me fine since that's what I like best. Many are mums, in some cases this is fairly obvious, in others not; they are usually quite honest and open about it. They will try to persuade you to buy drinks for multiple girls but if you are firm you can bring that down to one. Drinks for the girls are called "lady drinks". I foolishly forget to check the price before offering one and I was charged 500 pesos (£7.15 $12.5). I don't know whether this was correct or whether I was ripped off. In return for the drink, the girl sits with you. She's still in her bikini or similar but your hands should be able to wander where they wish. Compared to what I could get for that money in the UK or US, it wasn't a bad deal but it seemed poor value by local standards. To get more action, you can go to a VIP room or pay a bar fine. A bar fine is a payment to the bar to relieve her from duty so you can take her out. Of course, you need somewhere to take her, if you don't have somewhere then she'll probably be able to suggest a short time hotel. In all cases, you will also need to pay the girl. I can't tell you more details about these options in this bar but I am about to review another bar in the same street: Rogues; have a look there.

As I just suggested, I chose to move on after one drink. There are many similar bars in this small street. It's easier to move to another than dispute the prices or whatever.
