This week is dedicated to : DD Phil!

He came to us with a lonnnnnnng lived experience and we thank him for that.

Sure it was a general view and what he was struck about at first view, but this is enough to have a general idea.

About mongering and drinking in Bahrain.

In Bahrain as many members mentioned before and lastly Lex Star really you don't get what you pay as far as beauty and performance.

From all nationalities.

No way to compare between the ones in Bahrain and what you find in Dubai.

Dubai is real International and definitely 9-10/10 is frequent in Dubai. Unfortunately you won't find it in Bahrain.

A simple remark for Phoenicia, it seems that he took a short cut to the Arabic club.

Going few floors up in the disco area there you can find some Russian or Moroccan beauties.

Summary, THANK OU : DD Phil

The closest you can get to 9-10 EE providers you can find in Bahrain is probably Riviera hotel (I think that's what it's called too hung over to remember) , it's a pretty run down 2-3 star hotel right opposite to the hotel that has PULSE night club (which is supposed to have one of the best non p4p scenes in Bahrain) in Juffair.

Used to have mega stunners a few years back I hear. Was hand picked by some gay Russian dude that is rumored to be even more beautiful than the women he brought LOL. Sadly, he moved to Dubai I hear unto greener postures, serving "high end clientele", and the quality has dropped significantly. Still, it would be your best shot for EE women. Finally, they tend to be quite pricy at 100BD for an hour and generally don't have the best attitude. Certainly not the same attitude you would get from EE in Dubai.

From my experience I don't bother with any nationality in Bahrain anymore other than Thai. PRC tend to be too business oriented / ugly. Arabs / EE tend to be average looking and expensive and horrible attitude.

Not a problem. All the clubs are open and the club bars are busier than ever during Ramadan. British club, Dilmun Club, Rugby Club, Sailing Club etc are all open for partying throughout Ramadan every day.

Hi Saule,

Yes, but be careful. The clubs are open, but they often put restrictions on non-members coming in during Ramadan. Definitely restricted entrance during the day and sometimes only members in the evenings. The exception seems to be the Country Club in Budaiya. If you are not a member of the clubs then it may be wise to either get membership or stock up your booze supply before Ramadan.

JJs in Adliya used to be connected to a hotel. Before they demolished the hotel. Ric's has always stood alone. Many of the venues are 'nominally' restaurants rather than stand-alone bars. You can get food. At a pinch. Plenty of good restaurants in Bahrain, good variety and good food.

Cheers.

DD Phil,

Excellent report. Just a very small correction for anyone venturing to Bahrain. Not only are there many very good licensed restaurants, especially in the Adliya area, but you can buy booze over-the-counter in Bahrain without any sort of restriction. Bahrain takes the view that it's better to tax it than ban it. It's expensive, but available.

There are four liquor companies in Bahrain who sell direct to the public. They are open from 12 noon to 9pm, just be careful that on Thursday there is a major rush for booze. The most convenient is Gulf Cellar which has an outlet round the back of the Gulf Hotel. If you have a car, or if you get a taxi there are three, African & Eastern, BMMI and National Hotels Company, which operate out of the Mina Salman industrial estate. I'm sure you can sort it out on Google maps.

One downer is that Bahrain goes dry in Ramadan. You won't be able to buy booze in Bahrain in the hotels or booze shops during the holy month. I believe that if you check into a hotel you can get some on room service, but none of the bars will be open. If you stay here you'll remember to stock up in advance. Ramadan will probably start around the 9th July this year and run for a month.

Cheers.

And it is not true that bars and pubs have to be connected in some way to a hotel. The best examples that come to my mind imediately are JJs in Adliya and Ricks Bar in Juffair, but htere are many more. They are just plain ordinary drinking places.

So found myself in Bahrain just after the F1 week for 2 weeks on business. My first time here, though I've been to Dubai before. Here's my report.

For the most part, prices for girls I paid are 30-40BD for an hour ($80-110). Mostly I was paying 40BD. All night is 80-100BD ($230-270). I never did this but was asked a few times.

I guess in these middle east countries with so many single ex-pat men working here there's a big demand for these working girls, so prices get inflated. Probably would be a good business to be in the business of bringing these girls over!

Hello Phil,

Thanks for your posting, it was detail and paints an accurate assessment of the state of mongering in Bahrain. I have lived here for the past three years (one year longer than planned) , and as a monger and swinger I cannot wrap my mind own what makes this country so special. It's not. Don't get me wrong, I am not above paying to play, but in Bahrain you never get your money worth (it's like paying $40 for a $5 Happy-Meal from McDonalds. The food is crap and leaves a bad taste in your mouth and a large dent in your wallet). For me, I usually travel out of the country to get my sexual deviancy on. It's cheaper and better to go to Dubai (around the same price but better girls) , Thailand (girls can be had for free, or between $20 to $40 for LT) , or East Africa (as low as $2 or as high as $150, but you get what you pay for, and still they are better than the girls in Bahrain). Thank god I have a steady partner in country and she lacks the freakiness that I have grown accustom to as a swinger / international monger but at least I don't have to pay a small salary for terrible sex.

Alcohol. You can only buy drinks at restaurants / bars associated with hotels. I also found out at the end of my trip that there are stand alone restaurants that are licensed.

For the most part, prices for girls I paid are 30-40BD for an hour ($80-110). Mostly I was paying 40BD. All night is 80-100BD ($230-270). I never did this but was asked a few times.

Hotels. All seem girl friendly. They just ask for their I'd or a copy of it. I had no problems at 4-5 star hotels bringing girls in. Just make sure its not too obvious. I. E the girl had a sweater or jacket on, etc. I stayed in 2 hotels during my stay. One in the Juffair area and one in the Diplomat area. Both 5 stars.

On weekends (Thursday night to Saturdays) lots of Saudis come over for the weekend, since they can't party much in their own country. You can tell who these guys are from their head gear. They wear the red and white checkered scarves. Contrast that with the black ones the local Bahraini's wear. But these guys are farily arrogant hypocritical pricks. So best to keep away.

Hi DD,

Great detailed report written with lots of patience and perhaps you made mental notes. You have very much covered Bahrain's mongering spots. The prices as compared to Dubai are on the higher side here as you also pay for the hotel. Also unlike Dubai where you have lots of AMP where lots of additional services can be obtained at a much cheaper price, surprisingly here there are no AMP. There are some thai massage parlours but never got full service there. This mongering place is set up mainly for brothers from Saudi and Kuwait who can not go to far away places such as Thailand so they come here and have some fun and leave lots of dollar which goes to help Bahrain's economy and also to those of the ladies.

Cheers and keep writing.

Weather in May is quite hot in the day time. 35+ deg celsius (100+ F). Night time is quite pleasant to walk around in. It gets to 45+ in July, August.

Alcohol. You can only buy drinks at restaurants / bars associated with hotels. The price for beer is $7-10 (2. 5-3 BD) for a bottle / pint. Somewhat pricey. There is happy hour from about 5-9pm where alcohol is discounted 20. I also found out at the end of my trip that there are stand alone restaurants that are licensed. Maybe the beginings of separating alocohol licensing from the hotels!

Taxis are somewhat expensive. Just getting into one, it starts at $6-8! They have these extra charges depending on where / how you get your taxi. So a 15 minute cab ride costs about $12 (4 BD). For the most part the taxi drivers are honest in using the meters. Only once did the guy try to cheat me and I was having none of it. He wanted to charge me 6DB for a fare that cost 2. 3DB, I paid him 3BD just because I didn't have change and I wasnt expecting him to give me any back.

Most of the good clubs are in the Juffair area. And there's tons of clubs in this area. All at the hotels. In the day time there's not much going on in this area. Its consists of apartment buildings and hotels and thats about it. There are no covers going into the clubs. You CAN'T wear shorts / flip flops entering the clubs in the afternoons.

Even though many of the clubs / sports bars open at noon or 2pm these places are dead until about 7-8pm. I checked a few out. Makes you wonder how these clubs can open so early and pay the operating costs, staff costs, etc. The best time to go to the clubs is around 9:30-10pm. This is when its starts filling up with women.

Several good restaurants are in the Adliya area. Prices are in the $25-30 range for one (no alcohol).

Friday afternoon is their equivalent of Sunday brunch. Many hotels have all you can eat and drink (yes drink alcohol) for anywhere from $40-75 (15BD- 24BD). Somewhat pricey. It lasts about 3 hours usually from 12:30pm to 3:30pm and have live bands.

Went to two good malls. The City Centre mall and Seef Mall. They are pretty much next to each other. Lots of the standard shops and restaurants. Good lunch deals. Other than that, nothing special.

Went to the F1 track. Its about 30 minutes by car south from the Diplomat area. They have go karting, open track nights, track experience, etc. If you go, go later in the afternoon around 5pm. Go karting for 15 minutes is about $30. Doing 10 laps in a sports car is about $300.

Now for the clubs.

Pretty much most of the working girls are from China or Thailand. Didn't see that many from anywhere else. Clubs seemed to have one or the other. Few clubs had both. The girls for the most part are quite decent looking. 6-7's. Some 8's.

I found all the clubs associated with the Ramee hotels to be quite good. Ramee International, Ramee California, Ramee Palace, etc. Rocky Cafe is in Ramee International, and was always busy during the nighs. Its next to the american navy base, so many younger americans in here. Mostly Chinese girls here. There was also Cosmo lounge on the 1st floor, a large place, but a bit more laid back than Rocky Cafe. Mostly thai's here.

I ended up taking a 20 year thai girl from Cosmo lounge one night. She had a really hot body, about 7 for looks. She had been in Bahrain for 2-3 weeks. I wanted to go back to my hotel which was nearby (about 3 minute cab ride) but she was worried. We ended up going to her place which was like a 2 minute walk. Now I was concerned. Her place wasn't bad, a 2-3 bedroom apartment, fairly clean. Obviously shared with several girls. I usually pay afterwards so we had a big discussion on that, and I wasn't budging. Ended up giving her half up front and half later. Had a decent time with her, spent the full hour with her, the time starting from when I gave her half the money. Did everthing with her, except she only did CBJ. Which was unfortunate. She gave a great massage at the end. Paid her the other half at the end. Total was 40BD ($110). Overall a decent experience not amazing.

Match point at Ramee Palace is probably the best club I liked hanging out in. It had tons of very decent looking Thai girls all in their early to mid 20's. It wasn't a huge place or had loud music playing. Which is good for me. And it had decent lighting, it wasn't dark like other clubs. I ended up taking a few girls from here on several nights. Prices were alway 40BD for an hour, though they ask for 50BD. You have to pay up front here. To the lady boss (the mamasan). No way around this, though I tried. Ended up not being a problem. I always had decent experiences. My fear with paying up front is you loss all control after that and the girl maybe changes her mind on what you agreed upon, etc. Big hassle. But nothing like that happened here. In fact buy a drink here or there for the mamasan goes a long way. She will bring any girl you are interested in to you.

Boomers at the Pars hotel is where all the taxi drivers say is the best place. Its like a 2 minute walk from Match Point. So very convenient. Its packed with Chinese girls, has a band most nights and small dance floor. Hard to walk around in. But saw several very good looking girls here. They all start off asking for 70BD for a short time. Which is a laugh. But settle for 30-40BD for an hour. I took one 25 year old Chinese girl from here and had an amazing time with her one night, did everything I wanted. Only paid aftwards. Seems for the Chinese girls they don't have a lady mamasan.

I went to Diggers at Delmon Hotel (behind the Intercontinental) on a Saturday afternoon (it was dead with maybe 1 or 2 girls in there) and again on a Sunday or Monday evening. Just to get my own perspective on this place. Its all Chinese girls here. About 15 or so. All probably 4-5's if that. Pretty bad. Most are chubby and some look worn out. But they don't seem to be that old, mostly mid 20's I would say. There was an exception. 2 really hot young girls. But they were with these two young american guys the whole time, having drinks. This one girl come up to my table and refused to leave though I gave her plenty of hints. I was getting annoyed. She also had the audacity to ask for 60BD for a short time. What a joke. I wouln't give her 10BD.

Just down the street from Delmon hotel is Bahrain International Hotel. An old worn out building. I walked through it one afternoon around 2-3pm, not knowing what to expect. In the lobby is a dark seedy lounge bar and they had about 6 or so Chinese girls. Same quality as Diggers. It was the only place I found that had girls in the afternoon.

I went to clubs / bars in the better hotels. Like Harvesters at Crowne Plaza, Sherlock Holmes at Gulf Hotel, the lounge in Sheraton. There weren't that many girls there and sometimes none. The ones there though dressed well were not that good looking and seemed older. Thirties. When I was at Harvesters this one Chinese girl eyed me and came over to talk to me. She was pretty digusting though dressed well. I didn't want anything to do with her, but she kept persisting. She was wanting 80BD for a short time. I had to leave the place just to get away from her.

I didn't go to Trader Vics at the Ritz hotel. The hotel is a bit of a way off from the Diplomat and Juffair areas so I just didn't have a chance to get over there.

I went to Phoenicia hotel one night. There was a bar with arabic music. Costs $30 (10BD) to get in and $12 for a drink. What a joke. Needless to say I didn't stay. I saw arabic women there. All from Morocoo. Talked to one for a few minutes in the lobby. Most the men seemed from Saudi. Looks like the arabic places are catered for the rich Saudis coming over on the weekends and so the prices they can charge reflect that. The same was true for a place in the Days Inn hotel just down the street.

Went to the English and Irish pubs. Warbler, JJ's and Fiddlers. The nights I went seemed like normal sports bars. Okay pricing for food and drinks. No women really here. Though Warbler had a Filipino band with really hot girls.

Went to club F1 at the Metropolitan hotel on a weekend night. Charged 5BD cover, included a drink. The only time I paid a cover. Wasnt' worth it. All Chinese girls, maybe a few that were 7's and 8's. Mostly 5's. Live band, big dance floor.

In some of these hotels, especially the Ramee group, there are also bars with Indian dancing girls and another with Russian dancing girls. These girls are all hot. Like 8's and 9's. Good to look at, closest thing to a strip show. The russians all wore these skimpy skirts and tops. The Indian girls wore Indian costumes. I asked several of the staff at these places how to get these girls, in all cases I was told no. The way it works is you buy "flowers" for the girls. Its their tips. And they can come and sit with you at your table for a bit. I guess you could flirt with them and try to get thier numbers, not sure. I never found out. But the girls get paid for the dancing and have to stay their all night. These places weren't not packed at all no matter when I went, I only saw a few guys in the places at any one time.

One night went to a normal club. Klub 360 at Elite Crystal hotel in Juffair. It was 5BD to get in for single guys, free for woman and couples, beers were 2. 5BD. Not sure what I was thinking to come here. About two thirds of the crowd were guys. The girls here seemed normal girls. Good club music, large dance floor. Nothing special.

One of the taxi drivers mentioned a club near Boomers that had Russian girls. Called Rovera or something. Never went looking for it.

Overall how was mongering here? If it wasn't for business (or if you work in Saudi) I wouldn't come here. Not worth it. Why come to Bahrain to spend 2-3 times what you pay if you go direct to Thailand or China. Also these girls are brought over here by their "bosses" are immediately in debt and get exploited. Many of the girls I talked to didn't very much like Bahrain. So there's a huge turnover of girls every few months. Contrast this to Dubai, where girls keep getting their visas renewed, and seemed more independent, and there's girls from many countries there.

I guess in these middle east countries with so many single ex-pat men working here there's a big demand for these working girls, so prices get inflated. Probably would be a good business to be in the business of bringing these girls over!

Fratres,

I went to manama last week for my third time. And based on my previous trip check and after carefull reading all the report of this forum, I decided to book the Holyday Inn Express in Hoora.

The Hotel is a new 19 floorTower well refined inside, highly competitive in terms of cost / benefit and overall with a wide parking area in the first 6 floors which permit a direct access to your room.

I love this kind of solution which permit you to mantain your complete privacy.

But the hotel is green also for the clients who don't have their car and have to enter from the main gate at ground floor.

The Holyday Inn is just few hundreds meter from F1 (Metropolitan Hotel) where I found all the night a good selection of Thay gems. The rate is 100 BD all the night. One night I saw in the F1 also two russians.

Exploring the bars in the hotel around Holyday Inn, I discovered a good location at the upper floor of the Best Western olaya Suites. There is a bar full of russisns lady, but for what I understood they are not allowed to go iut of the hotel.

In Juffair I confirm that a good place is the boomers in the Pars hotel, but is important to go early. Around 9pm there is the bedt choice.

Enjoy your stay in Bahrain. I'll go again for few days next week.

[Marioz988]

I will be in Bahrain for 1 night next Saturday, I am interested to have an female escort is possible from Indian Sub Continent. Please let me know if anybody knows a contact.

Before they jump on you in this forum :

Make some 'search' from the upper menu. For indian escorts within the forum.

If you are not lucky try google. Com.

I think I saw if I remember well some female indian escorts advertising.

Best of luck.

i agree "mostly". i'm not into prc at all. looks or even worse attitude. but i have to say. i picked a stunner gfe prc from pars and she became kind of a regular of mine. you can't compare mongering in dubai to bahrain. when it comes to mongering in bahrain. i stick to thai girls. they the only decent bang for the buck. cis and arabs etc. are all horrible and cost immense amounts of money.

well i cannot say that all are of the same at that night.

maybe other arrivals could be better.

you have to take your chance and maybe the right moment too.

i forgot to mention that when two korean girls came to choose from the security refused to let the two of them.

they allow only one at a time and they always confirep001e their passport during the stay.

this is a minus because not always you get what you see!

[Bootie26]

To begin : The quality of what I saw in Pars bars (5 of them) is being typical and applicable almost in all Bahrain!

5 or if optimistic 6 out of 10.

This is a fact.

Dubai surpass anything in the ares even Europe maybe.

I was in Bahrain Friday and Saturday and took a suite in Pars Hotel at a corporate rate.

The suite is good, proper and clean.

The internet at the 6th floor very poor.

The food in the restaurant at the lounge is 5/10, but any way I didn't expect much of it.

The first night Ifrm 6:00 PM till around 11:00 PM I visited all 5 bars :

Boomers at ground level had many girls from the start and around midnight it was packed with both sexes 50/50.

Too much loud music and a Filipino band, lousy singing and lousy girls and. Dim- lighting so you cannot see a face at 3 meters as 'MO' told us?

From the start I had in mind a Korean girl from one of the escort sites but I thought if I find locally I will manage.

Many girls approached me but no one was to any acceptable standard. All the same.

I was really disappointed that with such number I cannot choose any acceptable one!

I went around 10:30 to the other bars on the 1st floor : a Latin one and another Thai bar.

The same and almost nobody there with some band playing anything.

The 9th had a paying Arabic gathering with Arabic local or Gulf singers and sheeshah.

The other Russian is almost empty and 5 singing and dancing girls, ugly fat and.

I stayed for 2 nights and had enough, but the Korean girl with 7/10 beauty was OK for the 2 nights.

Summary : I still prefer by far : Phoenicia Hotel with all his drawbacks!

I agree "mostly". I'm not into PRC at all. Looks or even worse attitude. But I have to say. I picked a STUNNER GFE PRC from Pars and she became kind of a regular of mine. You can't compare mongering in Dubai to Bahrain. When it comes to mongering in Bahrain. I stick to Thai girls. They the only decent bang for the buck. CIS and Arabs etc. Are all horrible and cost immense amounts of money.
