How to alienate 99% of your demographic and guarantee no customers for the night.

Meikos is actually a very cool spot. I really hope it succeeds. Daytime upstairs the pool vibe is great. Everyone who plays during the day is chill and fun and I really enjoyed meeting them and hanging. If you follow Chubs DubC on youtube you'll see a lot of what goes on there. Also there are a couple of sexy lady shark pool players (Rozelle and Doris) who are worth the price of admission just to watch them bend over when they shoot. I flirted heavily with them and did some sexy Mega Dance dancing with them but they are both taken so I didn't push my luck. The barfinable talent downstairs at night wasn't stellar but hopefully it improves.

If I'm not mistaken there is a for sale sign on the door of Bodyshop. I presume the owner is trying to keep it alive until he can find a buyer. I have barfined there in the past and in fact one of my ATFs is from there but she quit and works in another bar now.

I think the BS salary is 250 p and barfine 3 k of which the girl gets about 1200. My friend now works in another bar in WS where the salary is 500 p and the barfine is 5 k of which she gets 2500. So she basically doubled her salary and commission by moving. In fact she more than doubled her income because the other bar has many more guests than BS. In the current scenario BS is in terminal decline because girls quitting means fewer guests and vice versa.

The street its on is a little dead and there are two closed bars there (I think Shobu and Crystal Palace) but there is one new bar called Meikos just down the street which seems to be doing ok. Time will tell if it can survive though.

BS has become a sad and odd situation. Happy hour drink prices of p90 from 3 pm to 12 midnight have not helped the decline. Low barfine of p3500 has also not helped. Certainly having as few as 3 girls (all fugs) or as many as 6 girls (5 fugs + 1 barely acceptable) has not helped. There might be more waitresses than GRO. Often I am the only customer, or there are maybe 1-2 other customers. Can't see how it survives.

They have this event weekly at Body Shop where girls from other bars show up and do some kind of show. It was kind of poppin for that event although I didn't stay long. Have you met the owner? He's an Australian fella. Nice guy, but if his teeth are any representation of the health of the bar, it will be rotted, dead, and destroyed within a few months.

Monday nights. Masquerade, Gecko's, Body Shop, and one other bar. The event rotates to each bar one Monday each month. Starts at 6 pm. It's a crackin' good time, with girls from the various bars putting on nawty shows on stage for about 2 hours. Eating the banana, faux lesbianism, taped t*tties, etc. You will need to arrive by 5:45 pm to get a seat. Clientele is almost completely gringo geezers who live there. Your drink prices are low, and I think the LD's are reduced also during the show. If you walked into BS on the once-a-month Monday when the show is ongoing, you'd think that BS was the toast of AC. The other 29 nights a month, not so much. I will PM you.

Many of the western owned bars are in decline. Bodyshop is on its last legs

That's probably right. I forgot to mention that it's really close to the Queens Hotel. We went during the afternoon shift after having lunch. The girls were young and very cute. We spoke with four girls and two were 18 yo and two were 19 yo. Yes, if you get a chance, check it out and hopefully you can find what you are looking for there.

Yeah, I think the street is Tinio St, which runs between Teodoro St and Constain St.

Ive walked or driven past it several times but the reason I never went is that it looked like a Korean only shop. I've been in plenty of Korean bars in Angeles but the ones on WS seem a little more open to foreigners. But I will check it out next time I'm in town as I'm curious.

I think the bar is Star King. Its on a back street near Walking St. I've never been in but maybe I should take a look next time.

I believe the Koreans are such a big factor now in the Clark / Pampanga business market that the Korean Chamber of Commerce would have a big say in things. Don't doubt they don't have financial clout. Look at the number of flights between CRK and South Korea, mostly businessmen. Outside of AC Korean tourist are a big market in Boracay and Cebu / Alona. Probably other places too. I have witnessed them here.

AC will still survive. Newbies are arriving daily from the provinces.

AC is Korean dominated these days for sure. Probably 75% of bars are Korean owned and bashing Koreans seems to be a popular topic because they are said to cause barfine inflation etc. I have to say though I've had plenty of good times in Korean bars including Soya, Bacarra, 123, Viking, SS etc. The Koreans are weird and goofy with their flip flops and shoulder bags but at least they are investing in WS.

Many of the western owned bars are in decline. Bodyshop is on its last legs and as for Doghouse, sorry Dollhouse, its pretty weak.

The Koreans can be a bit freaky though. I know a girl from Soya bar. The Koreans walk in and barfine five girls, get in a van and drive to Bataan. They get on a boat and go out a mile or so offshore. They tell all the girls to get naked and parade around the boat. Then they tell one girl they want a live sex show and they will pay her 20,000 pesos to get fucked while the others watch. But she said hell no, take me back to shore. Then the girls said times up guys, take us back to Angeles, which they did.

I honestly think Korean influence has peaked though. The Korean economy might be in decline now as their birth rate is the lowest in the world. Apart from Samsung and Blackpink they don't have much going on.

[Pussycat123]

Clubs that open later.
Something King, or King something. Above average. This club is not on walking street and only found it when we were looking for a place to eat. At the time we went during the day, I would be happy with 80% of the girls.

Unless you are going to die in the next 3-4 years you will see this happen.

Malolos, Bulacan station is the end of the line for Phase one, they have already broke ground on the Clark Phase 2 phase in 2022, moving out squatters one of the biggest hurdles.

The Malolos, Bulacan station is halfway to AC and that station is mostly completed should be operational some time in 2025 or 2026. PNR Clark Phase 2 should be completed by 2027-2028. Much further along than you think this is.

Phase 2 updates.

My apologies. I did not realize what those concrete pillars near CRK was for. Dumb ass me thought they might be putting in a skyway for cars! So in a few years I can take the high speed rail from NAIA to CRK and then by car to AC. My life expectancy should be able to experience that. I will keep my friends and family contacts in case of AC's demise.

One thing good about friends and family plan is someone is always coming of age.

[QuackUp]

Hi MM, thanks, you are correct, the name of the bar was Soya. Dollhouse used to be one of my favorites also. Maybe it was just the timing. Anyways, I still enjoy my trips to A / see and finding new clubs with hot young girls is always fun.

[Member #4794]

Not in my lifetime. My demise will probably be before AC's. Enjoying while I can.

And does anyone expect all this to happen in the lifetime of anyone on this board? How long has Clark been open? And still just a handful of daily flights in a huge terminal building. Our Shit hole isn't getting better infrastructure any time soon.

We were there for four nights total. I know there is talk about how the Koreans are taking over but what I was more worried about is the number of people on Walking Street. Nothing like the past and if there isn't more visitors, I don't see how these bars can survive. A / see is different but I still like it. The barfines were anywhere from $3500 - $6000 pesos. I only barfined three girls with the highest price of $5500 pesos. One was $5000 and the last at $4000. Only the highest price chick didn't like to do any kind of BJ. I know from past reviews that it's hard to find good looking women here. Maybe my taste is different because I didn't have that problem, neither did my friend.

The other bars, I forgot the names so sorry about that. Other than the one girl who didn't want to do a BJ, everyone else was good and no runners.

Another excellent trip report; good intel. Another pic goodie for the gents.
