Managua

[Member #4167]

sorry that this trip report is in reverse chronological order and in three parts.

saturday i went to barrio lezcano. this barrio is kind of far and is imho in a bad part of town. i was really seeking to find claudias.

part ia, vale todo

vale todo is somewhat a dump and is in a badish part of town in barrio lezcano.

i stopped in. it was not really open yet. just a plain dumpy looking strip club. one girl and she was nothing special. i asked directions to claudias. no one had heard of it. however the following day on sunday (trip report part i) - they knew where it was.

the vibe and atmospher led me to believe that vale todo is not a good place. there are far better and nicer strip clubs on carretera masaya. this place is too far and in a bad part of town.

part iia, good times

good times is on the main drag in barrio lez. there is a casa del sexo on every corner here. my taxista took me to goodtimes. it is near cueto club i believe. i went in for ten seconds. bad idea. too much of a rough local crowd. i got a bad vibe instantly. a chubby nica with a big old flabby belly latched on to me. i exited good times with her attached. the taxista understood and pried her away from me. i escaped with my cordobas intact.

conclusion. you will not have a good time at good times.

also if cueto club is in this area, i am not sure if i would go there. i heard from a reliable source (a drunk at another bar) that the price was c800 at cueto club. the advantage of cueto club he said was that the girls do everything, swallow cum, [CodeWord101]. anal is c1000.

so i went to club fenix. see part iii

Claudias, This in is a non descript house on a non descript side street. There is no neon sign outside. There are bars on the front door, as with every casa. IT is really a private house converted into a brothel.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt, I came 7ish on Sunday nite. Probably the worse time.

Two girls both yng 20s. Both very cute. One was especially cute. Price quoted was C300 for 1 hour. Not bad.

I asked about Claudia II. The cajera said it was closed. This could have been a lie to keep my cordobas there. Anyway, I wasn't about to go walking down the street at nite to find out.

Does anyone know if CLAUDIA II is closed?

Decor was dumpy. No music. I was the only client. There was a broken beer bottle with shards of glass on the floor. Apparantly they were too lazy to pick it up.

As I Said both girls were cute, esp one. However they acted as if they could care less if I were there. It was the end of the day. They were both bored and lazy.

This place gave me a bad vibe. There was zero ennthusiasm among the chicas. This was NOT a party place that nite. They led me to believe that they would just lay in the sack with the same lack of zeal. One seemed particularly attached to a bowl of frijoles y arroz. If I brought her in the back room she probably would have insisted that she bring her dinner with her and eat it while a sessioned with her.

They should really put a TV on the ceiling to give these bored girls. So they can just lay there like a corpse and watch TV while you are screwing them. W

I didn't get a good vibe. My next problem, exiting. This is a street where few Taxi cabs go past the door, so when you exit you have to walk half a block. Fortunately the boyfreind of the cajera gave me a ride. He got a flat tire and I exited at a busy esquina and made it to my old standby, Club Fenix.

I do not reccomend going to claudias at nite. Frankly I don't recommend going to claudias at all. It is not a professionally run place.

This place is EXTREMELY difficult to find

It is in Lezcano a bad barrio it seems to me and it is in a little side street where you could be killed and they will never find you. I hae been to some rough neighborhoods. This is not the worse but it doesnt look safe to me.

In Nica you would say to the taxista in spanish exactly this:

Barrio Monseñor Lezcano, Estatuo Lezcano, 1 cuadro al lago 1 cuadro abajo y media cuadro al lago

However, it is better to start from vale todo.

I like meat loafs directions better

With one exception

Do not get out of the taxi and walk any distance. Is meat loaf crazy?

Tell the taxista

"vale todo en monsenor lezcano. " media cuadrao abajo, un cuadro al lago, tercera casa es casa catorce 14. Better yet, stop in at vale todo and confirm directions. You will need all the help you can get.

It doesn't matter, even with the best directions your taxista will have to stop and ask every tom dick and harry. Note the 14 sign is not very visible to me from the taxi.

This is a non descript house on a non descript street.

[Member #4167]

Phone number 2664595

There is not a single taxi driver in all of MGA who knows where this place is.

I called this number today they are open Sundays to 12midnite.

I asked the nica on the phone for directions all she said was Casa Maria Numero 14. I asked her which barrio it is in. She either refued to tell me or I couldn't understand her.

The barrio that Noguera mentioned is not a very nice one. Frankly Vale Todo is not a very nice strip club

The directionc that Noguera gave below look legit. I will see youu there tonite.

"Vale Todo en Monsenor Lezcano. " Get out of the taxi; walk. 5 blocks abajo (to the end of the block where it is a residential street and not toward the Shell gas station turn right or a lago; walk that entire block; cross the semi-busy street; on the left-hand side (al sur side) approximately the third house with the #14 written in big letters above the door is "Claudias or Casa 14. "

[Noguera]

Look … here is the best that Señor Meat and I can do for you …… short of taking you by the hand and delivering you to the front of the *****house door. Whoa … I may have hit on something here. Ask Señor Meat to just take you to #14. You should be kind enough to offer to buy him a girl and the US$20 air conditioned room though!

On your map, go to what is marked as Estatua de Monseñor Lezcano (the map is not accurate though … the statue is not in the middle of the intersection. The statue is on the south side of the east-west street, about 10 meters east of the intersection. From the intersection go one block north (al lago), one block west (abajo) and then ½ block north …… or, the 2nd or 3rd house on your left (with the #14 over the entry). It has been so long since I was last there that my directions might be incorrect by one block. If these directions are not correct, then it is two blocks west and ½ block north. Also, I don’t trust the map as I am not positive the first or second block to the west (where you turn north for ½ block) is actually a through street to your left. In other words, when you turn right (north) at the first or second block, there may not be the option of a left turn because I don’t remember the street going through to the south.

Does this help … or merely confuse you more. As Señor Meat so eloquently stated … Claudia’s is the *****house exactly one block north of Vale Todo. This is Nicaragua man …… these are damn good directions for a country with no street names or numbers. Hell … the address for El Arbole didn’t use to even have a tree at that locale (you would appreciate this comment if you had formerly lived in Nicaragua)!

[Meat Loaf]

Please I tried the directions looking for Claudia but to my disappointment I was no success. I found a map to Managua and have just put in the area where it is near. If someone could be so kinds as to put a red star or similar where the Claudia's is. Also if someon has a phone number that is working for there, I tried an old one from the online Nuevo Diario but it is also to no avail.

I, personally, can't explain the directions better, but read "Nogueras" past posts about the address.

Take a taxi and tell him "Vale Todo en Monsenor Lezcano." Get out of the taxi; walk .5 blocks abajo (to the end of the block where it is a residential street and not toward the Shell gas station turn right or a lago; walk that entire block; cross the semi-busy street; on the left-hand side (al sur side) approximately the third house with the #14 written in big letters above the door is "Claudias or Casa 14."

[Member #4167]

They just dont answer the phone. Thanks.

I have read most of Gran Pollos reports.

Any Additional Suggestions OR Updates?

[Meat Loaf]

Every location has been mongered by myself over the past 8-months and miles of Meat Loaf have been laid within the sex-worker community.

As the second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere everyone is in need of money, but without a strong commercial base jobs are few and scarce. Consequently, girls from all walks of life embark upon the Managua brothels to earn a few Cordobas. And of course, I always helped a damsel in distress.

Managua’s Pay-Out Structure for brothels is typically 50% for the owner and 50% for the girl. Numerically this equates to US $4 for 30-minutes of sex payable to the girl! Unlike many countries where girls drink beer alongside the client running their bill high and receiving a commission for this activity, Nicaragua frowns upon this style by always keeping their girls sober. This means the girls are bored after sitting around for 8 – 12 hours per day watching male customers drink and choose someone for a US $4 payday. On the other hand, Chicas Nicas will ask for a soda valued at US $0. 50 and cigarettes valued at US $0. 75 per pack.

Club Fenix (location: Rotondo Cristo Rey):

Open 24-hours per day, 7-days per week with air conditioning and good pricing makes this the best location in Managua! Within this dimly lit skinny-shotgun commercial building are approximately 10 girls wearing lingerie while viewing 6 big screen televisions broadcasting 6 different pornographic movies. For those who like to enjoy adult beverages this location is expensive by charging C $4 per12-oz. Beer or US $2. Hence, locals don’t frequent this location to get drunk, but do score the goods: Everyone knows of Club Fenix as being the "top-flight" location for girls and ambiance, but expensive due to beer prices. Approximately 6 huge rooms are available, all with aire conditioning and 6-foot long mirrors along every wall and above the bed. Experience proves that those who flash C$ 2, 000 (US $100) get to turn this location into their personal disco with music selection and girls messaging your body while quinching your thirst. Prices for love-making, regardless of language skills, are C$ 200 for 30-minutes. Lastly, this location is never jammed-pack with people but does receive lots of trickle traffic. This location never gets loud, roudy, or ignorant.

Club Ladies, aka "Rahim" (location: Puente Lareynaga, 2 cuadras abajo, 3. 5 cuadras al sur):

Open from 9 a. M. Until 9 p. M. This place features truly warm-people. Everyone is kind, gentle and respectful. In time, you’ll become part of the family and recieve first-choice phone calls from the owner, while his wife tries to overcharge. Beer is C$ 2 per 12-ounce and Rum is C$ 130. Although it is located in the middle of a residential-block everyone respects it. Never is the music loud nor does nonsense happen. One big-screen television plays pornographic movies of your choice within this outdoor compound. Lots of space is available for walking, mingling with other customers, and viewing the girls. Approximately 10 girls work daily with new recruits arriving weekely. Prices for love are C$ 150 for 30-minutes or C$ 500 for 2-hours. My discounted rate is C$ 500 (US $27) for 2-girls, 1-hour (threesome; ) or 2-girls, 1-hour; or 1-girl, 2-hours. Girls are free to leave if you pay the owner C$ 500.

Carribean Morena (location: Puente Eden, 4 al Sur):

Managua has a fascination with people from the Atlantic Coast since they are of African-desent. Hence, this location offers women of African-desent who possess a Carribean flavor while speaking English and Spanish. Prices for love are rather expensive at C$ 400 (US$ 22) per hour, but beer costs C$ 2. The location is small, seperated into a bar area and lounge area that plays music from a portable radio. To socialize with foreigners this is a good location: Their advertisements tout, "We Speak English. " Everyone is cool including the owner. Lots of African girls with lots of meat. For those that crave "Chocolate" this is the best place. Hours of Operation: 11 a. M. Until 3 a. M. Approximately 5 rooms are located on the second-floor and boast nice elegance.

Cocteleria de Ciudad Jardin (location: la Calle Prinicpal de Cd. Jardin, la Cocteleria, . 5 cuadra a lago, tona banner & white chair outside): Open 24-hours per day with Sunday closing at 8 p. M. C$ 200 (US $11) per hour needs not be explained! Non-Spanish Speakers get hit for US $50 – 100 on the credit card, if you allow it. Nonetheless, the price makes it a great location. Juke Box available. Approximately 7 girls are available during daylight hours until midnight. Never a loud or drunken atmosphere and always a nice place to visit. The married owners are cool, but know your prices. Rooms are comfortable and comprise a total of 4.

Salvadorena #1 (location: Carretera Norte, cerca la planta de Coca Cola, 1 cudra arriba) or (location: la Pista Lareynaga. 3 abajo del rotondo Bello Horizonte, 7 cuadras a lago):

Opens at 3 p. M. Until 2 a. M. This Place is Huge! Outdoors within a Spanish-style patio with over 100 tables for clients to choose from. Although 20 girls are working, don’t expect to see too many of them since this place is huge. Beer costs C$ 30 for a liter (30-ounces.) Girls are working for C$ 130 (US $8) per 30-minutes.

Salvadorena #2 (location: el Puente la Reynagaga, 3 cuadras al sur):

Opens at 3 p. M. Until 2 a. M. Get drunk, play the juke box, and get some lovin’ is this location’s purpose. Beer costs C$ 30 for a liter (30-ounces.) Girls are working for C$ 130 (US $8) per 30-minutes. This is a very popular place known throughout town, but keep in mind the sole purpose is cheap beer with about 20 girls to view and choose from as they tend your table. Not that much space is available although lots of activity viewing the girls compared to Salvadorena #1. Approximately 6 cheap-ass rooms are available.

Salvadorena #3 (location: Arriba Carretera Norte.).

Good Time (location: el Puente la Reynagaga, 3 cuadras al sur, el vecino de Salvadorena #2 y Cuento Club): Opens at 11 a. M. Until 5 a. M.

Nice atmosphere tiled in bamboo and partially exposed to the sun or moon. Beer is cheap valued at C$ 13 for 12-ounces and girls charge C$ 230 for 30-minutes. About 20 girls work and the owner has experience in the USA. Big screen television plays music video controlled by a disc-jockey or one can choose the juke-box. This location is gaining popularity and receiving lots of traffic by clients and girls. About 5 rooms are available, but expansion is occurring as I type. The business-model has changed and now he’s pursuing a more elegant atmosphere including the rooms.

Cuento Club Time (location: el Puente la Reynagaga, 3 cuadras al sur, el vecino de Salvadorena #2 y Cuento Club) Opens at 5 p. M. Until 4 a. M. They charge a US $0. 50 cover and C$ 30 per 12-ounce beer. This is a strip-club with few clients. The girls are starving due to a lack-of-customers. You can leave with one for C$200 per evening. The rooms are nice and aire conditioned valued at C$ 500 per hour.

Location: 1 Cuadra al Sur, . 5 Cuadra Arriba de Salvadorena #1. Two places exist alongside one another. Older women can be found here.

Vale Todo (location: Colonia Monsenzor Lezcano)

Cover charge US $3. Expensive place quoting US $100 for sex. The girls are starving due to a lack-of-customers. Beer cost US $2 each. "Clip-Joint" not worth typing about.

Casa 14 or Claudias (location: 1 cuadra a lago de Vale Todo, 1 cuadra abajo, . 5 cuadra a lago, and the house says #14): Opens at 9 a. M. Until 8 p. M. Approximately 6 girls work here and charge C$ 300 for 300-minutes. Beer costs C$ 25 per 12-ounces.

Polonco

This is a real dive and not worth going except to view naked dancers.

. 5 Cuadra a Lago de Polocanco

This place is great and never has any clients. C$ 150 can get you laid in the VIP section. Rooms are available upstairs.

Gloria (location: Puente el Eden, 6 – 8 cuadras abajo, 2 – 3 cuadras a lago.) They actually have the courage to call this place "Hostel Gloria. " Sure, when you enter their are two sides to building: One side are the rooms and the other side are the girls and alcohol. The side with women is small, tight, and compact. Simply grab your table and you’re done. Beer costs C$ 30 for 12-ouces and the girls ask for a C$ 50 drink as well. About 10 girls work here and hardly any make any money ‘cause nobody really goes here to drink. Music is played via juke box at your expense.

Azul (location: la Pista Nicarao): This small place is another drinking spot with 10 girls working. C$ 130 per 30-minutes. Juke box is available.

Location: 10 Cuadras al Sur desde la Migracion.

27 de Mayo (location: 4 cuadras arriba de La Plaza Inter) In America Latina there is no need to have dark, dingy, and grimy strip clubs, yet this one exists. Not being able to view makes this place really suck to me.

3 "Hostels: " (location: la discoteca Pelin on Pista Lareynaga, 1 cuadra abajo, 3 or 5 cuadras a lago)(location: el Salvadorena #1, 1 cuadra abajo, 2 or 3 cuadras al sur) On this block are 3 "hostels. " You will find SW in front of the hostel doors and inside sitting on the sofa. SW that work on Carretera Norte and in-front of Salvadorena #1 use these locations. C$30 room rate per hour.

El Tio: (location: Carretera Norte; la iglesia Santa Ana, 1 cuadra arriba, 1 cuadra al sur)

This location has a wide variety of women from mature to young neighborhood girls. Don’t expect too much ambience since this is truly a neighborhood spot. Hours are 2 p. M. Until midnight and priced at C $140 per 30-minute session.

Avenida 35 (location: Semasforo Linda Vista; cerca la guitarra y Munich Restaurant): Cheap beer, cheap women, and the stinch of drunkeness equates to dirty women in my opinion and therefore I will not discuss this location anymore.
Volcan 1
Volcan 2
Reservado
Ferrari
Diamonds
Hollywood

Carretera Masaya (location: Carretera Masaya): Street-hooker central. Purchasing "street action" in Managua is foolish and unnecessary. Yeah, they look good in tight clothes, but they’re on the street. This is Managua and not the USA. Prostitution is everywhere within controlled environments that respect you for being a client and not a trick. Remember, the controlled environments have invested into their businesses thinking of the future while the street-walkers are thinking "this trick. "

Carretera Norte in-front of the Presidential Palace and other government buildings. Street-walkers are found on this street during the daytime. Usually about 10 women.

Auto Hotels / Motels (locations: throughout the city) In my opinion, why use a hotel when you can rent an apartment. Maybe you’re married or live with your lady, but apartments cost US $150 per month and a bed costs US $150.

Advice: Managua is a safe-city and lots-of-fun if you have money for your girls. Simply put the word out, through the flashing of C$ 500 bills (US $27, ) that you have money and are willing to help someone in need. The girls will beat your door down; blow your cell phone up; bring female friends; and attempt to milk you. In my opinion, the best "worker" is one that is starving, has no clients, and looks to me as her meal ticket. But eventually, they all get greedy and take kindness for weakness and get fired, abandoned, and destitute. Once again, the notion of being the big spender is foolish, but the hope that you will be their big spender is priceless!

Sincerely,

Meat Loaf

Anyone kknow there telefone #'s I Tried the nuber for El conquistador : the one on their website is KWAZY (786-xxx-xxxx) the one is PAginasAmarillas is a wrong number. Seems someone else has that number know at a much smaller hotel.

Also the nuber for Casa Real is also wrong any suggestions?

[Keydoc]

I have a short layover in MGA, staying at the Camino Real by the airport for 1 night.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

[Member #4167]

Coming to MGA this fri - have plane tix, need hotel

Does anyone have phone numbers for CAsa Real or El Conquistador ?

I tried the numbers PAginasAmarillas, but the phone numbers are not valid.

Can anyone suggest a chica-freindly hotel. Near Caserra MAtaya, that has AC is cheap and safe and quiet ?

Thank You

Any other suggestions?

[Meat Loaf]

Let's try this one more time. Where/what is Rahim? Meat ... you said it is a nickname. For where? Which casa?

After 5 years of exisistence, Rahim en el barrio Lareynaga is closed!

After about 10 days of neighborhood action, I went out yesterday afternoon when the market, CBOT, closed only to find Rahim closed. F***! Damn!
Well, good thing I'm up 'cause I established "legendary" Managua status at that location por la ciudad (through the city.)

Por eso (therefore,) I went to few city restaurants / bars. Chido.

"Goodtime" has really expanded and stocks about 15 - 20 chavas (girls!)
Mas par mi: More for mi if you fellas' don't start checking that place out.
Otra vez (again,) read my wisdom. I have a built-in "Gringo Detection System" being a fellow-Gringo. My buddy hired an employee from there for $3,000 Cordobas, payabel every Friday in 4 portions ($US 75.) The owner who has Texas-experience added a periodic dance show.

Rahim has changed locations with Grand Opening within September 2007.

¡Viva Managua!
