Submarine Club at Dhow Palace
A bit of a non report I'm afraid, my Chinese GF was with me last night, we walked thru Dhow Palace but she wasn't keen on going into the club 'too many black girls' was her comment.
The club is now fully open and yes there were many well dressed black girls going in - worth a bit more investigation I suggest.

[QUOTE=Fully Loaded]BREAKDOWN the Seaview is for entertainment only, go see the band and move on.
BREAKDOWN you like African, you like York.
BREAKDOWN lots of potential on the CIS scene, but avoid if you dislike tight spaces.[/QUOTE]Another great report, Fully Loaded. An example of what CAN be done, if you want.
Seaview - there are some gems around, but it is hit and miss. York - there are some FINE PRC's around, mingled with a LOT of cookie-cutters. More sure than Seaview, but also more expensive.

As expected, crowded, but the crowds seemed to ebb and flow - first packed, then a bit of room to move/see, then packed again.[list][*]Large number of Africans - the grabbing certainly doesn't appeal to me.[*]Also large number of PRC's, some a-listers, a lot of "look the same to me's".[*]Some CIS, but certainly none that appealed to me. YMMV[/list]Miss #1 was there. She didn't last long; saw her disappear out the door before 11. The departed Miss Fav's roommate a bit miffed that I did not latch on to her as she flitted to and fro, but, FOR ME, her negative is she's not Miss Fav. But otherwise, she is nice. Miss "How much" also around, but given I don't show up on her running partner's (ex Cyclone) radar, Miss HM was dragged away when she stopped to say hi.
One PRC, chorus, but looking very nice, showing nice attitude. She didn't think I was interested in any "business", but still kept up a patter of comments, which I enjoyed. Certainly agreed with her assessment of the York's band ("No good, Seaview's better; bar needs a GOOD band"), and she confirmed Seaview's restricted entrance policy ("Besides good band, bar also need good ladies. Can only go Seaview if you've worked there LONG time.") Seaview does get a bit stale, with "new" faces limited to friends of existing ones...
Not seeing anyone better (well, within what I considered would be a reasonable price), I'd just about decided to take her (depending on salary requirements), the non-interview interview showing great attitude. But as she wasn't COMPELLING, stopped to check her menu. Oops. Fell just a bit short, so decided to move on (if it's important, ask).
As I had to pass the Imperial, gave a girl there a call, as I do know her menu is just fine. Given the background din, yes, she was still at the office. Did I want her? Yes. "How much you pay?" Hmmm... OK, it is Thursday. Still, put me off a bit, as we did have some 'history'... Either she's interested at my rate, or she's not.
We did the how-much-you-pay/how-much-you-want dance, until she stated, "800". Now I knew that was in the never-hurts-to-ask category, but, THIS night, it did. If I was going to pay that (I wasn't), it'd be to one of the 'Snake's top end models. It's just that that decided it for me - especially as the 'Snake was on the way home - would have to stop in there. Who knows, maybe I'd luck out in the parking lot. Wished her good luck, and kept walking.
Even more on the way was Jockeys. What the hell... been a LONG time since I've been there LATE...

No charge to enter. And as their waitresses are the complete opposite of York, never bothered for a drink. This was just an in-and-out sortie. Crowded, very unfavorable M/F ratio, but there were a few reasonable PRC's around. Unfortunately, those displaying the best attitude were "accompanied". No sign of any of the good looking 'stani's, a few marginal CIS in residence. Did see a few more PRC's arriving (back from ST?) while I was there. Did see MR1 there.
Headed for the door, spotted a NICELY attired PRC next to it. Approached, but got a discreet wave-off. OK, not unexpected that someone like that would be "attached". But to take one more look at the room, grabbed the empty location next to her. Mis-reading; she'd been fending off the group next to her. Not the best looker there, but certainly attractive (I do appreciate someone who dresses "up" rather than "down"), and as mentioned here, her 'pleasant' attitude going far with the 'judges'. When a menu enquiry showed that all the courses were there, now it was just about price. I asked, she came back, "Some girls will ask 800, 700. For me, 600 OK". Worked for me; saved the "700", "500", meeting at "600" conversation, and on a Thursday, I'll pay a surcharge just to be out the door on my way home. Besides, the 'Snake would want 50 dhs for the "privilege" of walking in the door.
Maybe not a starter, but certainly makes the bullpen as a relief pitcher.
Wouldn't recommend Jockey's late on a Thursday night, but, like any bar, you can be surprised... York has promise, but the a-listers are in demand, so be prepared to pay, or else wait around for closing, taking your pick from the "remainders"...
