Jools has been around a long time. Yes, they have quality, well rehearsed shows. One night a few years ago I saw their dancers perform to a medley of James Bond songs. It was quite a good show. Sadly however, the sexy little hostess girl I was drinking and making out with the whole night would not in the end barfine. She gave me her telephone number, but I never bothered to call her. She was a sexy little thing and her auntie was one of the dancers. I never went back to Jools after that night. Guess I was a little let down or something. Ha Ha.

A few months ago I heard they were closing their doors. I don't know if this is true or not and I don't really care.

I can confirm that one of the dancers at Jools told me they will close at the end of this year.

Thanks for that. Well I will try Stardust first, then my old mate Jools (if 'Dust does not satisfy).

And report back, comparing the two as at December 2019.

Stardust fun? Then I have to give it priority and see it first, LOL.

Stardust, on the other hand, was a more fun bar for me. They had a troupe of professional dancers too and IMHO, the Stardust dancers were a lot hotter. I lusted after a couple of them, but they were an allusive lot and I failed to make a connection. However, the stardust bar girls were a lot of fun in their own right too and the bar girls had the ability and talent, if you know what I mean, of taking my mind off the smokin' hot dancers whom I really wanted. It was sort of like the immortal Rolling Stones song:

"You can't always get what you want, But if you try sometime you find, You get what you need."

Only in this case I didn't have to try at all. As a result, I was never disappointed when I went to Stardust and always found a nice bar girl to take home. So, I was surprised and a little blue when I heard they were closing their doors. I thought Stardust was one of the better bars on Burgos just beneath Kojax, Plan B, and Bottoms in terms of bar girl quality, but it was also appropriately priced less than those 3 top tier bars, so I thought it held a good price point position on the street. Guess I was wrong. LOL.

Burgos St, yonks ago, had a Show Place bar. Choreographer, and girls really turned it on. Excellent entertainment, so much so, guys forgot to barfine and of course wanted to partake of the showgirls themselves.

Problem is, I forget its name. Is there a bar in Burgos St with a red hot 'show' these days? Might be the same one I visited some time ago. Thanks.

Stardust possibly. Closed several years ago.

The name does not ring a bell. But I have 'hidden camera' video of it all, anyway.

Brings a smile to my face and triggers all the good times I had back in the day.

I'm not aware of any 3rd party shows on Burgos beyond the house girls doing the bar girl shuffle up on stage.

As an aside, I'd recommend leaving fond memories as just those rather than trying to relive the past. People, locations and attitudes have changed and if you forcibly try to recreate the past, you will be disappointed. My best times have been spontaneous and the more I try to seek out or revisit good times the less successful I am.

Have a great trip. G.

Oh, I don't forcibly try to recreate anything. I go with the flow. I can tell you now. Life begins at 80 years of age. Why? Cause you do not give a stuff, anymore. Go with the flow time. Never married, never indulged in drugs, never have taken Viagra or similar. I do not pay for Viagra to get an erection for a girl I have to pay to open her legs. Doesn't make sense to me.

Well, thanks for answering my query, will save me going to Manila and Burgos St.

Fun, its got to be fun.

December I will be visiting places I have abandoned in recent years.

I have stayed at City Garden before. I did not bring a girl to my room. How ever having had brunch and dinner I could see most of the guests were Filipinos. Older couples and families. I would not say this is a monger hotel though it may be girl friendly.

The restaurant food was very good.

Many of the older people staying at hotels don't have a clue what's going on.

I have mentioned the example some years ago: I once stayed at the Ibis Slipi hotel in Jakarta. Nearby there was a golf tournament and the organisation had arranged company for the players for the night. The next morning of course there were a lot of fond goodbyes at the front door which caused an elderly lady to say how remarkable it was that so many men were married to Indonesian women. She said it without any irony.

Regards,

Ko.

Flight 168 is definitely a full service bordello. The setup is very similar to a high end BKK Soapie. Basically, they offer customers a couple of different fishbowls each composed of different quality or different rated girls and Flight 168 prices their girls accordingly.

The total cost (girl and room) in Flight 168 is between 5,000 p and 7,500 p. The bill is prepaid like at a BKK Soapy. But like I said, at Flight 168 the bill is broken down into its two component parts so you are charged for the room whichever room you select and charged for the girl whichever category girl you select. Credit cards are accepted. Tips to a girl for good service are voluntary, of course, but greatly appreciated.

Have a great time!

One thing I would add about Flight 168 (or pegasus, or classmates, etc) is that you want 2 pops to speak up before you start the deed (but after you enter the private room). In my experience, most girls are alright with 1,000 php for the first in addition to the standard 2,000 php tip. However, the first shot may be limited to just BJ so up to you to negotiate. Also to minimize haggling, I would also suggest that as you speak to the front desk person (either before or after you pick from the fishbowl) to say I've been here before and please tell the girl it's 2,000 php for tip. It's a pretty standard tip so really no need to pay more regardless of the type of room you pick. This is just from what I've learned from Filipino friends. As a caveat, I also get harassed less for a bigger tip because I'm of Asian descent but am American so YMMV. It's OK to firm and confident when talking about prices but just don't be jerk when doing so.

I know this post is probably too late but I'm a new member so contributing what I can. Hopefully this will help other members for the future.

I will be visiting early next month and in need of a wingman / wingmen to show me a bit of the town. Of course I have RTFF and have a few ideas of where to go but I also want to venture out of the well-worn foreigner areas if possible. Message me guys! 1st and 2nd round on me!

First ever night in Philippines off to a good start.

After I landed and got WiFi, found out my hotel in Malate had cancelled on me due to lack of credit card info on Agoda which is bullshit.

Went to P. Burgos street and wasn't my thing.

Went to la cafe which I really liked until I Waitress tried to rip my off for my change. Trying to give me 40 peso change for a come zero and Jack coke.

Took a girl from there who upon getting to the room realized how drunk she was.

She started throwing up in the toilet so I told her to leave. She wanted full payment so I told her where to go. Had to get security to get her out. Told her she could have taxi money or nothing. She eventually left cursing me.

Off to Angeles tomorrow, can only get better I hope.
