UP HOUSE NIGHT CLUB Av. Mem de Sá, 89, Lapa
Had walked by this place a couple of times on my Saturday night strolls through Lapa but had never gone in because of the caipivodka drink I always bought at my usual street stand on the way. Sign says free admission for men (for women 10 real), 25 girls stripping. Apparently a fairly new boate, and unusual to be in Lapa, per a post on gparena. Finally decided to check-it out last night, so postponed my caipivodka and entered about 11 PM. Room is fairly large, maybe 2/3 the size of the main room in 502. No stage for stripping, just a pole in the middle of the room for any stripping that is done. Place seemed kind of empty: maybe 10 girls and 10 guys. Drink prices for caipirinha and caipivodka seem to be about 5-10 real higher than similar boates, even higher than termas 65 and 502. Girls were the level you could get in daytime centro prives for 100 to 140 real an hour; however, due to the night time premium, rates are 170 real for 30 minutes, 200 for 40, and 220 for 60. Since no one attracted me, especially at those rates for that level of girl, I left after 3 minutes. No need to return anytime soon.
