No longer can gringos just park themselves in the small area made popular by Help Disco, Meia Pataca and the beach in front of Rio Othon. They have to venture out to Centro and other neighborhoods if they want to find the best Rio has to offer. One could just stay in Copa and frequent Centaurus and Monte Carlo. Then later you could move on to MAB'S and Dolce Vita. I would not recommend that.
Some longer-term residents might like the new set-up. It probably helps to keeps the prices of the ladies down. I think guys dropping in for a week or two much prefer the old set-up. Help Disco seemed to bring scores of girls from all over Brazil. There were stunners and girl next door types running around the Disco area. It was also easy to find an afternoon delight on the beach. Copa is much quieter now from a mongering perspective.
Yeah, sadly I can confirm the present situation in Copa. Mabs was a big nothing when I stopped by there around midnight on an October Friday night. There was only one attractive girl in the place and she was already taken. The rest of the girls were not what I consider fuck quality. Monte Carlo failed to impress as well, but I might have arrived there too early. I will try it again later in the evening before I make any final judgement. Then over in Ipanema I have mixed feelings about Centaurus. On the one hand I hooked up with a good looking girl who was really passionate in bed, but on the other hand the total cost was 900 br or something outrageous like that and I have not been back since.
So yeah, I wish I had been in RJ back in the day when Help Disco was rocking and there were pick up girls on the beach. It must have been something. But now is what matters. I don't mind travelling cross town to find some friendly, good looking girls and have a good time. But I am curious. What about Casablanca Club? I will have to check it out when I return to RJ.
Mr E, how do you rank Rio now compared to 10-15 years ago. Do you like the setup better now or before when help was around.

I'd like to respectfully extend a well deserved salute to the friendly ISG'ers I met last night at mosaico in VM for the super bowl watching party. A special thanks to the ISG legend himself, vagabundo, the highly decorated gold star combat veteran and philanthropist to all things monger centric!
I must admit it was quite hard to focus on the game at times with all the sweet tail strolling around in their most sultry of attires. All things considered, The girls did a fantastic job at dividing my attention away from the game and happily so. I knew I wasn't the only ISG'er suffering from a momentary lapse of attention deficit disorder when it came time to get an update on the game. It's funny how a horny plethora of scantily clad youthful beauties can have that affect on the precious yet hardened minds of the average monger in primal search of releasing a colossal sperm deposit deep within the depths of well lubricated vagina pocket. The primitive laws of nature that govern our sexual desires often take precedence in times like these!
LOL ten years ago the dollar to the real was for $1. 70 you got 1 real. Today and it has come down unfortunately in recent weeks it's 5. 25 reais to 1. So 200 real divided by 1. 70 reais is $117 dollars. So $117 dollars x 5. 25 = 614 reais. The equivalent amount of 200 reais 10 years ago is 614 reais today. But in Mabs maybe you can get 1 for 300 or 400 reais depending on timeframe and beauty level. You may also want to add to your list a club called Dolce Vita, the girls could be good but the cashier will try to rip you off, so be careful. Dolce vita is like a mini Help.

After a good bit of debauchery in SP me and my will be on Rio from Monday to Friday. I figure most of you on ground will be at the Superbowl Party tonight and we arrive after the Monday Patrol would start but maybe we will be able to see some of you.
Enjoy the game and happy mongering. Can anyone comment on the quality at Dolce Vita nowadays? One of my favourite things is sitting on Copa into the early hours and seeing what passes by.
Can the regulars update my terma list and Help style bars that are open in Rio now. I'm not interested in Vila Mimosa area, just the A and be places. If you could fill in the blanks that would be appreciated. I will give a trip report when I get back.
Monte Carlo, Centaurus, 4 x 4, Casablanca, 65, and Solarium.
Mabs for hooker bars is all I can remember.
It's been 10 years for me, so I'm rusty on everything. Is the beach in front of Othon Hotel still the hooker part. Also 200 reals for a girl on the beach was standard back then. Is that still good or have they jacked it up with all the inflation the last 10 years.

The caipirinha sellers on the beach is a major tourist trap.
The seller comes in cars. Just park and starts their business. They have one guy preparing the drinks in the car and a couple of friends walking around with trays selling the drinks. Last month I noticed one caipirinha seller taking a crap next to the car where his friends prepared the drinks. No washing hands or hygiene.
Considering you stayed at the beach in front of Othon, you could have walked one block up on Rua Miguel Lemos / Rua Aires Saldanha to Bar Pipa Velha and bought an excellent and very large caipirinha for 8 reais.
Superbowl, Mosaico, are. Hilrio Ribeiro, 243 - Praca the Bandeira, Rio de Janeiro. RJ.
At the suggestion of Senor Bonhead, we will have a Superbowl event at Mosaico, 19 h30 local, at Mosaico, at the above address.
It was good to catch up with Mr. E this past week, along with Jingo10. We linked up on Thursday at Rio Branco 156, patrolled over to Darkroom and some casas, where Noemie Bilas works. Mr. E is a solid wingman with not just fluent Porto, but also a wit that gets a good vibe going with the local girls and staff. The lineup at Darkroom was good, slim morenas, and super hot new negras like Rebecca.
Once again I fuck up so you do not have to. Me and my girl are at the beach now. A guy walks by with a tray of 2 caipirinhas and 1 strawberry vodka. They are 10 reais each. My girl does not drink so 1 caipirinha for me. I pay the guy 10 and he walks off. I sip the drink and it turns out to be water, ice, sugar and lime. In other words, lemonade unmixed, no alcohol. I let my girl try and she says yep, straight water.
If you buy a drink, then buy it from a stand and not just a guy walking by. It looked so good on that tray though. But still totally worth 10 reais. We just left Outback Steakhouse where the same thing was going for 13.
I had told my girl about the Superbowl that I want to watch tomorrow. We were in the Uber coming back from Outback and passed by Mabs where you can see the projector screen from the street. She said they have a big ass TV screen at that place. Call and see if they will be showing that game. Uhhh. No.

Kind of in front of the Othon now and not a hooker in sight. Forget everything you knew from 10 years ago. The game is at the privees and online now.
