3 hops on a Wednesday evening
Hello fellow mongers,
How refreshing to finally be a regular member here. Decided that what the hell, since I'm into this and have been lurking on and off for years, might as well join the party and feed the organizers.
So, a few updates from last nights short tour of a few popular places during afternoon / early evening on a Wednesday (yesterday, 8 September). On purpose went our early afternoon to see what the scene is like.
Mint. Came in about 4 pm. Pretty quiet and easy to just come in and chill. Small selection of WGs which started increasing after 5 pm and by the 6:30 pm-ish as I was on my way out there way enough for all tastes. I kinda prefer Mint now in this quieter mode, everyone seems more relaxed then on Thu / Fri when it's all about how quickly money can exchange hands. Checked with the bouncer, minimum spend is required only on those two days, rest of the week it's free entry. Several interesting looking Uzbeks, price unknown.
Attempt to find the new Rockafellas in Regent Palace Hotel opposite Burjuman. Well, that failed. Tried the downstairs sports bar and the upstairs buffet-restaurant like place with a stage. Sure it was fairly early but those places seem completely halal. Heard from receptionist the Russian place with the external entrance from the road (marked just as "Lounge", used to be entrance to Rock Bottom) starts at 8 pm and yep, full of girls. Didn't feel like waiting around, so maybe another fellow monger can confirm if this is the new place?
Ratskys. The surprise of the evening. Walked in around 8 pm. Place was DEAD. Free entry. Never happened to me before, have been visiting every several once for old times sake. First WGs started coming in around 9 pm, and told me proper action now starts around 11 pm to midnight. Damn, who of the working class can anymore afford such hours and still be up in the morning for work? Guess I better make some more money fast haha. Got quoted 500 from a Viet girl + taxi. Great obvious bolt-ONS but wasn't feeling it, was a long day.
All in all, wasn't into banging last night but have a new daytime-ish perspective on these places and they are not half bad and when I feel the itch, easy to go. Guinness, the beer of bitter gods, widely available everywhere.
Looking forward to contributing more, hope you like this.
