No bar reviews, no punters
[QUOTE=Cuchulain; 1239290]I love activiity on this forum. But the substance is usually in questoin.
How about sharing some detailed information. Like which bars have the cheapest bar fines?
Any reviews on the former silver dollar?
Any other new bars open up in the last year?
This info would be greatly appriciated to us that get to cebu once a year.[/QUOTE]I think the issue is that 90% of the posts in this forum are from people who have been living in Cebu or visiting many times.
I can't see any reason for those in such a situation to bother to visit a bar in Cebu which as far as I can see are all dingy, disappointing and way overpriced,
The action in Cebu is almost entirely in the freelancer / non pro scene. If you want bar reviews I suspect we need some newbie or infrequent viitors to step forward.
Observations From Last Week
Most of the barhopping was between 9-12 during 2 days; only was at 9 bars. Many Koreans and some Japanese at the bars. Not sure if waves of Asians take out the best girls early.
1) Love City had decent girls; maybe best overall in General Maxilon St; all in bikinis, just like all the other bars I was at. Bar fine was the highest at 4000 pesos; everything included. Asked the mamasan if it was ST or LT; she said it's up to you. It was different from 4 years. Back then, some of the girls were naked. Couple were outstanding, maybe 9s, but they were of dubious age. Was told at that time that the place was owned by a local that was connected. But now, there is a sign that says "No Barfines", and all the girls were in bikinis. Seems things have changed.
2) Papillon: Marginal girls (6s). Barfine is 3000 pesos; girls get half; everything included. Asked a girl if it was ST or LT; she said it was negotiable with the girl.
3) Dimples: Girl told me barfine was 2000 pesos without tip; 3000 cost with everything included. She said those prices are normally ST; she said we needed to give more tip if you want LT.
4) Planet X: Maybe the largest bar; decent girls.
5) BJs (?) : Barfine was (less than 2K. Forgot, between 1700 to 1900) ; then need to tip.
6) Sisters: Marginal girls; most expensive SML at 75 pesos. Girl said barfine was (less than 2K; between 1700 to 1900) ; then girl said she got half; got confused if that is correct; total barfine then seems too cheap.
7) Red Lips: Marginal girls; many cars out in front; numerous locals in the bar.
8) First time at J Ave (the old Juliana) in Mango Square. Got there at 11 PM during the weekday. 100 pesos cover coupon for your first drink. Half the tables were occupied; not that crowded. Half the girls were with local guys, and the other half were alone with other girls. Most seemed to be in a stoned stupor. They were just sitting at the tables, just staring at nothing. They definitely weren't aggressive in searching for punters. Some other poster said the action started at 3:30 when the bargirls got out; that's way past my bedtime.
