Posts: 1211How do you have social distancing at a crowded bar. Same thing for restaurants / cafe. Or even walking down the street.

Posts: 216Wednesday night in Wanchai
Greetings. Went out Wednesday night with buddies since Thursday was a public holiday. El Cerdo next to Coyote had 99% occupancy. Coyote was full on the ground floor. Don't know what the 1st floor was like as I did not go in. Both QV and Churchills were busy. This was a little after 8. About Midnight we hit Joe Banana's and the place was heaving with lots of people and some fine looking ladies. After a couple of drinks at JB's, went to Sparks which has seen better days. Cute girl manages to get a drink out of me. Asked for a "Sexy Drink". I ask the bartendress what that was and they told me it was a Vodka Cranberry, so I bought that for her. Only for her to start a rant that it was the wrong drink and stormed off, with drink undrunk. I told management, but even they don't even know who's coming and going and they could not identify the girl. Small money wasted but the attitude really sucks. Left my buddies there and had to walk to Causeway Bay before I could find a cab to go home.
At JB's no social distancing around. At Sparks yes, forced social distancing since there were few girls around. Walked past Taboo which sounded that it was rocking. Since they had a curtain, I could not peek inside. I do agree that girls have gone online since I have been hit up online.
Have fun and stay safe.

On Sunday evening went back to see the remnants of the DH parade and there were a few. Albeit very few DH's walking around in really short shorts and very high heels, and it was obvious they had been partying most of the day. Sunday is usually a slow time for those ladies that prefer to attract a business guy on expense account, so didn't expect much. It was a funny / sad moment when some mountain of a white gent was pulled out of Taboo, handcuffed and perp walked backwards into the waiting Police Van. I suspect his Monday morning after he sobered up was many times worse than a usual Monday morning. Incidents like those these days can quickly lead to being escorted to the airport for a trip back to one's homeland, unemployed, and with a significant amount of money being paid to the local coffers. Not a good prospect.
I know nothing stays the same and like water, must be willing to alter one's path, but I'll admit that I do miss the opportunity to appreciate a room full of nicely dressed ladies vying for clients. The air of sensuality filling the room and anticipation of the evening's adventures. Of course it was all a facade, but a mostly enjoyable escape from reality nonetheless.

Posts: 216The article is interesting. It talks about a big Western restaurant in Wanchai, where food, booze is the name of the game with customers having a good time. Don't know what the pick-up situation is like here. Yes I have seen tables of women but looks like they are out for a good time and not looking for a pickup. Its a 2 level restaurant. People go to Wanchai for the booze and the girls, and while the ribs are tasty at Coyote, people venture elsewhere for a real live one.
Queen Victoria (QV) may have a couple of girls past 9 or so, but its business model is cheap booze with crazy hour between 5-7. Same as Churchills as they are under the same owner. And this concept has been very successful for them. But when HH finishes at about 10, the customers thin out since the booze now becomes expensive. Of course, on Sundays, QV turns into a very exciting venue.
The White Stag is more a pub type of place with no girls hanging out there.
So while the article was somewhat informative about Wanchai, it didn't concentrate on bars where girls tend to hang out.

Hong Kong nightlife districts Wan Chai and Lan Kwai Fong struggling to survive after.
The devastating impact of the coronavirus on bars has added to already tough times that have seen tourists, sports fans and even US sailors stay away.
Landlords in Wan Chai seem far more flexible when it comes to rent reductions than those in Lan Kwai Fong.
By John Carney.
Neil Drummond stands at the door of Coyote Bar & Grill in Wan Chai and peers into the street. Tonight, he's as likely to see tumbleweed pass by as a prospective customer.
This is the reality for Hong Kong's historic bar strip on Lockhart Road – which started life as a red-light district in the 1950's – after the double blow of the year-long anti-government protests and the more recent Covid-19 epidemic. In Wan Chai and Hong Kong's other traditional nightlife hub, Lan Kwai Fong, the past 12 months have been a tale of empty bars and huge losses in earnings.
Drummond, senior operations manager of Coyote's, has never seen anything like it. As if the civil unrest and coronavirus emergency weren't bad enough, there is another reason why business is so poor for him: the US-China trade war.
As tensions began to ratchet up between the two countries, the frequency of US naval ships coming to Hong Kong started to dwindle to one every few months. That was until last year, when the.
Chinese authorities stopped them making port calls altogether in response to US President Donald Trump signing the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which allows Washington to impose sanctions on officials deemed to have violated human rights in Hong Kong.
"Our biggest loss financially has been the US Navy not coming to town. Generally, they'the be here every month," Drummond says. "The size of the ships would vary, but when an aircraft carrier came to town there would be 7,000 navy personnel in Wan Chai for four days and many of them would come to Coyote. ".

Posts: 1067So is this the day / night of the "soft opening"?
I know that I am not the sharpest arrow in the quiver, but I am struggling to understand what the situation is vis a vis entertainment venues operating at this time. I know that effective Monday the restrictions are being relaxed in many sectors, but the rumors seem to be that all the bars about town will be in full swing starting tonight. It will be curious to see how active things will be this evening in some of the favorite spots. I am down to counting hours until my release. .

Posts: 216Well all the cute girls wear masks so you can't see their faces. Better you see their fa ce first before making offers.
Great. Please spend some money in HK. HK needs your business.
The protesters have come back. Make sure you are not wearing all black, otherwise you may get free accomodation in prison.
Have fun, stay safe, keep your eyes open and don't ever disagree with the protesters.
