Freubad April to mid-July 2023
A rather stable situation at the Freubad during the end of spring as everybody was waiting for the warm weather that will allow to open the garden. As soon as the weather was nice enough at the beginning of June, the prices of Freubad went up both for the normal entry /30 minutes options and the packages. Even the daily ticket that the girls pay to work was up 10 francs.
The management was clearly hoping to cash on the garden attraction power with a banner promising 60-70 girls to the numerous customer that should have come. However the customers didn't come as many the managers (and the girls) hoped according to me. During July and August, many Swiss mongers (and the Romanian girls of Swiss clubs) are on holidays and the Freubad cannot completely escape this situation. Besides the customer holiday issue, if it is nice to be in Freubad's garden when the temperature is 25 degrees, this is not as nice when the heat is at 30 or above. The good shaded places are not many outside of the covered eating area and this another deterrent for Swiss customers.
Regarding the line-up, there was a lot of new faces recruited during the end of June / beginning of July period. Inside voices reported that it is not easy to recruit girls that respect the expected "standard" club Swiss service (FK, BBBJ, respecting time, no up-selling). I witnessed this sampling some of the new women (only half-disappointing to be honest).
I was there a day with 50 girls in early July and I was heavily contacted (always nicely) as never before in the club as there were only around 10 guys in the garden. The week after, the number of girls decreased to 40 as many girls understood that the summer business will not be very good and the number of men was still very low. Now there is 30 girls on the line-up. There is still some quality in the line-up, but the arrival of many new girls increase the chances of bad experience with untested girls for new customers. It has lowered business opportunities for quality providers that gradually leave the club.
Despite all my critics, I still think that the Freubad offers the best price / quality ratio for a club in Western Switzerland, especially with the 200 CHF happy hour price. However, the line-up could be more fluctuating in quality this summer and the number of "Globe-graded" girls lower. And if you are a contrarian investor, going to the Freubad on a rainy summer day could get you an idea of what it feels to be the king of the jungle; O).
