Tropical Bar Reports

[QUOTE=Jackie888;2282660]One way to look at it to feel comfortable is to group clubs like HK, Adelitas and Chicago together. These are go-go bars, aka strip clubs. Their main floors are elevated stripper's floor. These clubs were made for strippers.

On the other spectrum, you have Tropicals, Valentinas and Chubelas. These are dance clubs with a huge dance floor as the centerpiece. These clubs were made for dancing. The sex is there. But it is kind of secondary. You will often find strippers from other clubs having a drink with friends after their shift is up. The patrons are also different. One time, a HK chica was sent down to Tropicals for misbehavior. While wearing her see-through net bikini, she stood out like a sore thumb and got zero business. Later that evening, she changed into a cocktail dress and a dude immediately bought her a drink. Here even when a shift ends, some chicas stay the evening and drink with friends. So if you keep this in mind, your can adjust your expectations and get more comfortable.[/QUOTE]Jackie,

That's the best explanation of how La Zona bars "operate" that I can recall ever reading.

What's the going rate for arriba in TB? I was there about a week ago and the chicas are average looking at best and they all quoted me $80 for arriba. I was thinking I can get chicks way hotter in HK / Adelitas for $60/$70. And the ones who quoted me these high prices were just sitting there all night not making any money. I'd pay maybe $40 or $50 to bang one of them, but not freaking $80. I might as well just stick to HK / AB.

[QUOTE=Yolo1000;2285285]What's the going rate for arriba in TB? I was there about a week ago and the chicas are average looking at best and they all quoted me $80 for arriba.[/QUOTE]I'm curious about how you asked them, did you walk straight up to each and ask how much?, or were you seated and talking to the chica over a drink?

Also, you didn't mention if you countered with a lower price. If you're in a conversation most chicas expect a little back & forth, so it's fine to tell them the price you're offering.

Remember guys, these ladies aren't working there because they graduated with a degree in physics. Much to the contrary. Most of these girls come from deep Mexico and their math skills also suck. Key is to negotiate in $MXN. Can't tell you how many times I've offered one "mil pesos" and watched her eyes light up - thats a lot of money where she comes from! Remember, these are women and psychology will trump logic 90% of the time. Enjoy!

I agree with the characterization of Tropical being more of a dance hall then strip club. If you want to meet a beautiful girl and dance, all the girls at BT will go out on the floor with you. Usually you tip them $1 per song or more if you're enjoying her company. They also will do short stints of live singing. The mesero will grab a mic and start singing songs, again tip him if you're enjoying the music. When my wignman walks in they will often play a German beer drinking song. On numerous occasions I've seen day shift Adelitas girls come over to Tropical just to order a bucket of beers and chill.

I used to love to just hang out there because it had a great vibe but I don't really go to Zona to kill time anymore and my wingman isn't dating a girl that works there (she now works at a manufacturing job so she's a civie now).

Oh yea, I forgot about requesting songs. I used to have him play BrunoMars to show the chicas how romantico I was. I used to watch Sunday Night Football (NFL) every weekend there. Kinda nice to enjoy a game and have a naked lady walk by asking for just $1 every 30-40 minutes. Towards the end the Mesero knew me well enough he would approach me to be in a chicas show. They would strip me to boxers and then the girl would dry hump me on stage. The banana blow job contests were interesting too.

Yes, I have tons of great memories there too. Chato (I may have spelled it wrong) got shot on the side of his face when a monger came in with a beef with one of the bar girls. This think was 2 years ago and is about when I stopped going. Not because of the shooting though.

As far as requesting songs. I always request Thinking out loud by Ed Sheeran, a great song to slow dance to.

So no less than 10 seconds after sitting down with a chica, a chubby flower guy with a mustache, in a dress-shirt, and a neck tie comes up and literally forces me to buy flowers for my chica. The bastard charges double for flowers than the average flower guys, wanting $20 for bouquet of roses that I know goes for $10. I can't get him to leave. The next thing I know, my chica is arguing with me, and insists on the $20 bouquet. And now the mood is fooking ruined. "WTF flower butthole, you're ruining my date, I didn't tell you to stop by you motherfucker! I thought to myself. Fed up with him and my arguing chica, I finally told him to get loss while trying to sooth my chica as she sulks and gives me the cold shoulders. How on earth can a date go to shit in less than a minute?!

15 minutes later, I spot the normal flower dude. I buy the same bouquet of roses for my chica for $10. She still gives me the cold shoulders! WTF? Then a light comes on. I am fed up. With her glass still half-full, I thank her for her time and said "adios amiga. " That is Spanish for fuck you and your middle age flower-boy fat fuck. I stood up and walked away. She spends the next few hours brushing against me as she walks by. Sorry baby, but I've moved on. As for the sharp dressed flower guy, I hope he falls in front of a moving truck one day, preferably with his head underneath one of its tires.

Watch out! Avoid the round-faced middle age flower guy with a mustache in dress-shirt and tie. He will fuck over your night before it even begins.

Always wondered the best way to deal with the flower vendors. I just say NO. But there have been occasions when I really want to buy the regular GF flowers. But I'm so sure they are going to throw out a gringo upcharge. So I say no. And you can't ask the price or negotiate the cost or you look like a douche in front of the chica.

And when it comes to the vendors with the stuffed animals. I hope you guys don't fall for that one. The chica will be like " awww its so cute. Please please. And then you buy it. Well as soon as you are gone and the vendor is on his next round through the bar. She sells it back at a reduced price and they both make money on the idioto gringo.

But, they are doing what they do to put food on their table, and I respect that.

Just my 2 pesos of course.

They charged me double the price than if a chica bought it for herself. So now I know, and your flowers just confirmed it further.

BUT the flower, the stuffed animal, vendors and the ficha pushing meseros will try to intimedate you into buying,. Knowing you are under the influence of a beautiful woman and trying to use that to there advantage.

But you are correct sir when looking at the big picture in the end they just want food on the table and we just want pussy.
