2-For-1 Beers for $4.00 Total.

Came in here with fellow TUSCLer Wanabefrank on a Sunday evening. Bar Tropical is located across the street from Hong Kong, and is owned by the same company so you can take your girl to Hotel Cascadas is you have a room there. This place is considerably smaller and also low key compared to Hong Kong. There was only one floor, at least as far as I could see it, with 1 stage and several booths and tables. the music they play seems more geared towards locals rather than tourists. The girls were also dressed significantly more modest. Red dresses and flats instead of the stripper heels and outfits that the girls at Hong Kong wear. It's actually a nice change of pace.

We sat down at a small table and was approached by a mesero who asked us what to drink. Wanabefrank ordered a beer and I ordered a Michelada. What we got was a beer and a glass filled with ice and a salt and Chile-seasoned rim that came with a beer. "That is not a Michelada," said Wanabefrank. I poured my beer into the glass and took a sip. It still tasted pretty good, but I didn't know what the proper name for it would be. The two drinks cost $4.00 together, and I paid for it including a tip. Cheaper than Hong Kong.

The mesero asked us if we wanted some female accompaniment. Wanabefrank declined, but I accepted the request. Looking around the selections of girls was more limited, but honestly there were quite a number of attractive women amongst the bunch. A minute later the mesero returned and seated a girl next to us. Her name is Nicole, she is 21 years old, stand about 5'5'', cute face, cute body, and she claims to have been only working for around a week. I could believe it because the whole time she had this very uncomfortable and nervous disposition. I would glance back to see her looking down with a serious expression, but when she caught my stare she would look back with a tight-lipped smile. She didn't seem to want to be there. With my limited Spanish and her limited English we weren't having much of a conversation either. Google Translate helps, but it takes patience from both parties, and she didn't seem to have much of that. After a few awkward minutes of chewing her lip and making furtive glances, she excused herself from the table telling us she needed to use the restroom. We never saw her again after that.
