In Finland. most clubs are called 'ravintola' it means restaurant. It goes back to the days when...
Anyway, Mikado is what most would call a club, although it actually does have a restaurant. Why you would et there, I have no idea!
So the place has a dance floor although it seems to be rarely used for dancing. There is a main room with a long bar down the centre. At one end is the dance-floor, surrounded by banquettes, at the other is the 'casino' - blackjack, roulette and fruit machines. (OH and the toilets)
There are seats down one side of the bar, nice and comfy. There is room for everybody to walk around and check each other out. Stand still for thirty seconds and a Natasha will ask 'Do you want sex?'
Dress code is easy. Whatever you want. Business men in suits because that's all they have to Pekka Suomalainen wearing jeans and white socks. I prefer casual but smart. Don't want to look too wealthy, nor too Finnish. IIRC it costs €7 to get in and normally you tip the garderobe guy $2 when you leave with your new girlfriend.

just to clarify: the chances of picking up a non-working girl specifically in Mikado are practically 0, since I've never seen any other kind of women than hookers in that place.
in Helsinki generally, well, what are your chances like back home? the odds are that your chances in Helsinki will be just the same.

Thanks DB. If you around on Saturday 6 April theres a few beers waiting at the bar for you as long as you not wearing jeans and white socks.....lol.....
ps:what the weather like in April ?

Sorry; Elton is entirely correct. Nobody at Mikado is a civilian. I was referring to other places, but rereading it, I see that I was ENTIRELY unclear.
Thanks Elton.
BTW do you still have an apartment, empty and waiting for fun?

I have not been in there for a few months, but there are always more women than men. The girls change all the time, they come over for a couple of weeks from Saint Petersburg or Tallinn and then go home. Some of the women are married to Finnish guys and live here, they are a constant. I used to know a few faces, but now I spend more time in Tallinn and on other pursuits, so I am no regular these days.

So DB, spill the beans, whats so good about Tallinn that beats Helsinki.........sounds like I need to get a boat across there one evening

There are more venues to choose from, the prices are lower and the women that I love are over there...
The only boats going at the moment take 3.5-4 hours. You either go in the morning and arrive at midday or go in the evening and arrive at about 21:30. You can fly for anything from €49 upwards, but most likely €180ish. It is best to go for a couple of days if the fast boats are not running.

Well guys, field report as promised, intial business trip was called of last week but I arrived in snowy Helsinki on Thursday and just returned home today.

Glad you had fun.
What was the crack at Marski, no questions asked?
IIRC you can go straight up to the room by lift without passing reception.
It does seem that prices have risen, bit on the other hand, often, a couple of hours is enough.

Helsinki cont:
After Mermaid went back to Hotel....3 s's and then tried Alcatraz.
place was semi busy I suppose and ladies very direct as soon as you arrive....I learned my lesson from previous evening and refused all of the ladies as I seen my first 10...wow...she was beautiful.....every man in there made a move n her and she knocked them all back, I tried to make eye contact with her but again she wasnt interested......thought that was so cool as you really do have to appeal to these ladies and they are very much ladies just making a fast buck so you do have to treat them with respect they deserve. Thought I would try Mikado again and as was walking up the stairs seen the lady from previous evening leaving with a punter....phew I thought. Had a drink and was soon pounced on by a number of ladies...I wanted this evening to be my choice and not the man inside trousers.....had a bit of a chat when met my choice for the evening....Tatiana.....what a surprise....lol......blonde, about 33 looked a lot younger and we chatted for about 30 mins before she popped the question....we left and went back to Marski. She was a lovely person, great looks, great personality and we had a terrific time...no clock watching at all.....she asked if she could stay the night as it was getting late...off course she could....in the morning she gave me her phone nr and invited me to her apartment for evening meal...traditional Russian and on the Saturday I went there...great meal and great dessert........she didnt charge a penny...felt like a true girlfriend, about 11pm she said she had to go to work and we got cab back to Marski where I left her to go to work......she said if I wanted her to phone her which after a few beers at the Hotel I did......again stayed all night for 150euro ...she is great person, we have stayed in touch thro email ever since......guys...if you reading this Helsinki is greatest City on earth and Mikado is like heavan....treat ladies nice and you will be rewarded.....lucky me going back on business end of May....and guess where I will be visiting ?.....lol

What you write about is the kind of thing that I like in Helsinki. Pimping is illegal and heavily stamped on. The girls pay nothing to the bars, apart from the entry fee. Usually they tip the doorstaff (well you will anyway!), who look after the girls very well. Everybody is well behaved, many of the girls are not on the game in Tallinn, Saint Pete or Moscow. I went with one woman who ran a beauty salon in SPb, she came over every now and then if the wages bill was bigger than her ability to pay...
Another I met was, and as far as I know still is, an art restorer working in the Hermitage, she had a new apartment and was buying furniture.
These women can usually choose who they go with, they are not desperate. Often they go there to meet their friends. If they earn some money then all well and good. If they do not like you then the price goes up or they will refuse you. It is quite fun! The situation is very similar in the clubs in Tallinn. I normaly assume the woman is not on the game and chat her up as though she were a civilian. If she asks for money then fine, if not, then I have won one!

Went to Helsinki last Wednesday for business and pleasure. First night spent with "friend" that I met last time. She's from Riga and we met some weeks ago. we stayed in touch via SMS and met again on wednesday. As last time, evening was great. First diner together and rest of the evening spent in hotel. No problem to get friends into hotel, no questions asked.
Thursday evening went to Mermaid. Place was quite busy since it was the eve of a bank holiday. Lots of customers and lots of girls/ladies. Quality of girls was far below average, even some fat and ugly looking characters. Believe Mermaid is getting the low-end of the spectrum whereas Mikado and Alcatraz attract high end. Finally left around 2.30am without girl, and since plane was about to leave early morning, did not go to Mikado or Alcatraz.
One pice of advice, if quality matters, avoid Mermaid and go for Alcatraz (with strip show) or Mikado (no show).
