Hong Kong Club Reports

[TomJackin]

I've been to Tijuana numerous times, but I have no found out a sensible and reliable way to stop the waiters from hounding me for a lady drink / ficha. Yes that's how the club makes money, that's how the girl makes money, that's how the waiter make tip, but I'm not a fucken charity so when I buy fichas (which I often do), I just want to make it count. I don't want to just pull a random girl and find out she sucks at her job, and it's always funner when I have a connection with the girl.

So what's the best way to get a minute or two with a girl to see if there's a potential connection, before buying a lady drink. Should I tip the waiter a buck and ask for a minute or two. Or just tell them I need a minute. What route works the best? Looking for that fine line. Not to appear bossy. Cheap. Or otherwise compromising my own fun.

Control the meseros and the chicas! Do not let them control you! Wave them off; you are the customer!

Well if your planning on being there on a somewhat regular basis. Best thing is to find a mesero who you can work with. He needs to understand a few things. He needs to be on your side. And he needs to keep the other meseros away, he needs to wait for you to order the next ladies drink and not come around every 5 minutes picking up her bottle to encourage her to drink faster. Of course for this to work he has to understand the rules. And that is usually acomplished with a generous tip. In the long run it will be to your benefit. Of course if your schedule does not match his you have to start all over with the next one.

Talk to Simon in Azul he will hook you up with the flavor you're wanting. Many excellent craft breweries in Tijuana. Azul usually has some daily or happy hour deal. The deck is a great place to kick back observe the alley shananigans and sip a coolie!

Never tried the craft beers in Tijuana but would like to. I like trying crafts when traveling around the US. The local micro breweries can produce some damn good brews. Do you know any names of the craft beers or can recommend some at Azul?

To DrMcnaughty.

Just curious, what are Azul's Happy hour deals?

Which craft beers and how much they charge?

I was having a 2-4-1 steak dinner with my wingman on Azul's balcony. 2 rib eyes served on hot plates, each over 1 pound perfectly grilled to rare with all the trimmings, costed only $11 or 187 pesos with the coupon, what a great deal.

I asked Azul's waiter for their wine prices. Despite having wine bottles hung on the wall, he had no wine list or details about the types and brands. He said a glass of red wine would cost 150 pesos. WHAT? I asked him again, he again confirmed 150 pesos a glass. Mr. Pampas only charged 300 pesos for a full bottle of good Chilean reserva wine. There had to be an error in Azul's price, or more likely they had no wine and had to buy from HK, paying inflated prices. Any way I ordered a Bohemia beer and he said 50 pesos, which would be Azul's prices. HK's price would be 85 pesos for Bohemia.

To complicate prices further, Azul's 2-4-1 dinner deals have to be consumed in HK, with drinks bought from HK's bar, not Azul's. Normally if you dine with HK's chicas in Azul, the drinks and fichas have to be ordered with HK's meseros at higher prices. We were sitting on the balcony with cool night breeze, enjoying the view full of sexy activities on the street below. My wingman did not want to eat with the deafening noise in the club. Azul's manager was nice enough to make a long phone call to HK's owner for a waiver. Finally we got the 2 steak dinners we wanted for $11 on Azul's balcony.

We ordered filet mignons from Azul's menu; they served big rib eyes instead, but we did not give them a hard time. The steaks were perfectly grilled to rare, tender and tasteful in Azul, vs. Always burned to shoe leather when ordered from HK. Steaks are not on HK meseros' snack menu, but ask for Santiago, the young mesero with a Mohawk hair. He's a good, honest guy, speaks English and can mange the system to get you 2 steaks for $11.

Got to admit, business guys in La Zona have good customer service and are very reasonable to deal with, completely opposite the old farts in this site who would pick nits, make false accusations to smear their friends, and try to puff themselves up every little chance they have.

Know if any ciders like blackberry or apple are available? Thanks for the info that there are happy hour deals.

I read his post twice. No mention of a cheaper price before 8 pm. He only list prices after 8 pm. Maybe he doesn't go before 8 pm. Idk but there no mention of a discount prior to 8 pm.

Go back and read it for a third time. You're missing something but he already acknowledged it. I'm sure it's all cleared up and the correct info is out there now.

[TomJackin]

No one mentioned premium and imported beers!

Regular beers = 4 dollars all the time in the club.

[ScatManDoo]

Still have several weeks before my next trip to Tijuana but was curious if anyone could tell me the current price for drinks (both beers for me and fichas for the girls) in pesos?

For the correct answer to your questions, read what Tomjackin wrote, not the 'always off' guy posting from his parent's basement.

[Captain Solo]

Be careful what beers you are talking about.

Premium and imported beers like Bohemia, Heineken, will cost $1 more in HK than local beers, like XX, Tecate, Indio ect.

As far as I know those beers are $4 US before 8 pm. I never seen the prices at $3 US on the price board before 8 pm. Always $4. I don't think they are pocketing any change.

Let me help with the clear facts.

Regular beers and house mixed drinks are always 4 bucks. Before 8, after 8, and between!

The only time you will have to spend 5 bucks on a beer is if you are entering HK after certain hours and you will pay 5 bucks for that beer at the door.

But in the club, the price is always 4 bucks.

[Aceite]

Beers at HK are less before 8 pm! . I guess the last few times I've been there the meseros & bartenders have just pocketed that extra buck.

I read his post twice. No mention of a cheaper price before 8 pm. He only list prices after 8 pm. Maybe he doesn't go before 8 pm. Idk but there no mention of a discount prior to 8 pm.

[Captain Solo]

I only report facts. I may be wrong, but that's what happened to me.

$1 is a small difference per beer, but some ugly, illiterate old fart will use it to smear his friend.

Be careful with jealous, illiterate old guys.
