Posts: 68Tropical Beers and PP
My recollection of beers at Tropical was $3. It was cheaper than I expected and happy about it so, that's is a clear memory from May 2023.
Also, got stopped by the local cops on Revolution for an ID check. It was a Sunday morning and all I wanted was to find a coffee place (that closed down. : and did not have my wallet or PP on me. A photo of my PP was all I had and some pesos. So, they gave me some shit about how I would be booked and held for a while. They searched me and let me go, but my money was less! I left the hotel for a short walk with like $40 but in pesos and they took my biggest bill.
So, having the PP is good for there, being there, and back, especially if you are there for a couple days. Just find a way to keep it away from pick pockets. And I don't take it when I do to HK for Chicago. Etc.

IMO, never advisable to go to Tijuana without your passport unless you don't actually have a passport (or it's expired). It also potentially complicates things on your return to the US (additional processing time at US customs and they might send you to secondary review). But you're right it's usually either a $20 (or even as high as $30) bribe to the Mexican customs official and you're in. But travelers should still be aware it's technically against Mexican federal law to be in Mexico without a valid passport. You're essentially an illegal immigrant during your time there (though they rarely if ever check for anything like that in Tijuana. It's more of an issue outside of typical tourist areas like Tijuana).
It's been a couple years or so since I've taken a taxi to / from the border and paying $7-10 is too much IMO. Personally, I take the free HK shuttle if it's available (you only have to tip a couple of bucks) or I take the taxi de ruta (shared taxi van) to Revolucion which only costs 15 or so pesos ($1). From Revoluction it's only a 5-7 minute walk to HK or Tropical.
If crossing the border during the day you can also consider just walking the 20-25 minutes to Zona Norte (which is free obviously). Ubering from the border is a final consideration and is also much less than the $7-10 for a taxi.
To my recollection beers are up to $4 at Tropical, no longer $3. On a $10 lady drink would recommend tipping only $1 (not $2) to keep costs down a bit.
Don't understand the logic of the "VIP lap dance" when you can just get the room upstairs for just a bit more with less hassle and negotation involved. With the room upstairs you know what you're getting. In the lap dance area not so much and the lap dance area is much more cramped with less privacy.
At Tropical you shouldn't be paying any more than $100 for the girl under any circumstances. And given that it's considered a second-tier bar you very often can find a chica willing to go for $80, which is what I would always shoot for there. Even on weekends and at night.

I hope that you verify your guidance before you publish. Example, lady drinks are $10 plus tip. If you tip $2, then the drinks are $12. Also, you don't need to feed the taxis when the HK shuttle is running. You ride for free or for a small tip. TB and HK are owned by the same people, so they don't care which club you are going to.
Not trying to cap on you, but your post could have provided more value and specifics.

Posts: 17My main spot
Hello everyone,
I was having some issues with my last post, so I think its time I made another.
Been going to Trop for years. Its my main spot as opposed to HK or Chicago due to its best bang for your buck. I'm going to give a full rundown of trop.
Transport options to the border: You can take an uber, take the trolley, or drive. If you are ubering, get it to the san ysidro jack in the box. If you are trolley, just go all the way to the last stop. If you are driving, there is 2 parking lots near the border. I usually park there. Prices are anywhere from $10 weekday to $20 weekend for 8 hours.
Now follow the signs for border. Walk through the entire passage way. When you clear the signs that says "Mexico" and cross the fence, you now wait in the line to the right and cross through. IF you don't have your passport, pay the border clerk $20 fee and you get a "day" pass. Walk through the border check. Now go all the way down. When you pass the taco stands, turn right there are orange cabs. Pay $7-$10 max and say trop.
Get to Trop, hefe will pat you down and you are in!
Now Trop recently got a full remodel on the inside. My favorite time to go is morning / afternoon. Weekdays are the best bang for your buck. But anyways, Trop is like Hong Kong, minus the quantity of 8-10's. Trop has a lot of pretty girls who are wanting to have fun. But just not as hot haha. In trop, you can really use this to your advantage.
So full breakdown.
Drinks are about $3 for a beer. Shots are about $5 for a don julio. Lady drinks are about $12 with tip if I recall correctly. You can take your ladies for a VIP lap dance which gives her 5 drink tix, for 30 minutes in the VIP room. In here you can negotiate extras if you like. Sometimes, I can get away with free service and a little tip for that fun. Some ladies will require payment, anywhere from $20 to $60, which would be a discount rate if you can negotiate. Otherwise some will stay with their $80-$100 rate.
Now if you want to have your own space. I recommend the Tropical rooms upstairs. You can rent a room for 45 minutes for $40. You can that way use it to your advantage for extra "Fun". My take is always negotiate everything before going upstairs. I usually buy the girl a drink and feel out the vibe. If its fun, I will go. I try to stay NO MORE than $100 for 45 minutes double fun. If its in the day. Night maybe $20 more. Make sure you have $1's to tip people along the way.
Now when you're all done. You can head back to the border or go back and relax with a drink.
I will be making a guide on HK Tijuana, MDE and Cartagena CO, Costa Rica soon.

Posts: 3331BT was really dead today, almost zero customers and maybe 5 ladies.
I asked one of them why she didn't work in HK, she said she was told she needed to be "operada" to work there, and kept pointing at her stomach.

Posts: 68Tropical Pricing
Hello.
I am doing some preliminary reserach before a trip back to Tijuana, and I would like to try places besides HK. Your feedback is appreicated.
I looked at the Chicago board and right away someone had asked much the same, so the following equation looks like this down the stripe: Place = Girl + Room.
Chicago = $100 (could be $120, but neg.) + $20 (1/2 HR).
HK = $120-150 + $40.
Tropical = ?? + ?
I was in Tropical only once when a sailor OD in HK back in May '23. I remember the beers being $3, several floors, nice girls, talked and tipped one for a bit, but did not session.

So getting back to my original point that weather you tipped him $1 or $10 pesos wouldn't change how he is. Especially when he gets the tip after he serves you and not before so how does he know what you will tip.

Posts: 6519Spinner Maggie from Culiacan
Tropical had 5 or 6 hot girls Monday night. I invited a beautiful young girl in a blue dress to drink with me bur she declined, went to second floor with her winggirl. Not sure why but they may be lesbians.
Maggie is a spinner, nice boobs, long legs, some acne scars on face. Invited her for a drink. She stayed and gave me a very long lap dance, guiding my hands to her boobs and her crotch. She insisted her boobs are real but I could feel the implants. She kept talking into my ears, urging me to go to the hotel to fuck, said she did not want my money, only sex from me, hard to believe hehe.
After half an hour grinding I had to excuse myself to go to the banos, gave her to my wingmen. She took off her dress, gave lap dances to all, encouraged them to access her crotch. She could be a hot lay but I had promised to look up Krystal in HK so I had to go. Wingmen had a hot sexy time with her.
Hot girls with good deals can be found in Tropical.

Posts: 6519Tropical's Island Party Wednesday
Tropical had its Island party on Wednesday starting in the afternoon with the normal low midweek traffic.
The front door was decorated with a thatch roof, exotic tropical totem poles, scary masks with 2 girls in grass skirts dancing outside with flowery leis, very authentic islanders hehe.
Inside 2 dozens girls were sitting around, some in flowery islander dresses, only a few guys. A live band was on the stage playing exotic music.
Right inside the tattered curtain a small bar was set up with a dozen bottles, Tequilas, Gin, Rums, whiskeys ect, all gratis, only for tips, courtesy of the management. I had bar tender Jose pour me a shot of 1800 Cristalino Tequila, worth $15 in the bar, fragrant, smooth but strong, very good tequila. Gave him $3 tip; he was all smiling. Went around the bar, squeezed $1 propinas into the boobs of all girls to show good friendship. They were all smiling sweetly.
Mexicans know how to have fun. They did a lot of work decorating and setting up equipment to draw clients in. All workers and managers were warm and fun for the party. Atmosphere was festive, fun, relaxing. Management was very nice and generous to hand out expensive liquors gratis.
Tropical also has discount coupons for 40% off hotel discount, 2-4-1 drinks and half off food in its website. Time to head over to party and have fun with hot girls.

Posts: 246Tropical Bar Floor Confusion
It seems there is some confusion to the number of floors at Tropical bar.
What I think some people are calling the second floor is just a few steps up the area where the main bar is near the new exit. I would maybe call this floor 1 1/2. The third floor, what I would call floor 2, is up the full flight of stairs & usually only open weekends with the outdoor balcony.
