Novo Apart Hotel and Environs
Things I learned in San Salvador
1. Thanks to the recommendation of Graybeard, I chose the Novo Apart Hotel. It is small, clean, and reasonable at $55 per night. It is also in walking distance of enough places to keep you in trouble. It offers internet access, a garden and pool outside your room and free breakfast. Be sure to look for Tato in the white Toyota out front for monger tours.
2. The Birds Nest is a very small stripper bar located nearby. Go up the street, take a left and the next right. You will see it on the left, 1 block up. There are 10 or so girls there most nights. Their quality tends to be a little lower than the big places, but they are ok if a 5 to 7 will do. They have short time rooms upstairs. Admission is $3 and includes a drink. Drinks are generally $3, so why is there an admission? Who knows!
Watch out for the SWs on the corner outside. If they don't know you are nearby, you can hear them speaking in deep voices. It's funny how their voices go up as you approach them. Maybe it is the doppler affect.
3. There is another club called Capriccio. Go up the street and take a left. It is 2 blocks down on the left. It too is a stripper club with on-site facilities. The girls are a notch higher in quality than Birds Nest.
4. Again, go up the street and take a left. The first house is numbered 3132. It has no signs or indications that it is anything more than a house, until after 8:30 PM. At that time an open (Abierto) sign on the second floor goes on. Inside you will find a larger club similar in venue to the others listed. Enter through the door under the red light.
5. The new Stars Nightclub on the traffic circle (Frente De El Salvador del Mundo). Go up the street again and continue to the main street a block ahead. Cross the street and walk to the right about 3 blocks to the round-about, as they call them in GB. You will easily see the purple building with a red flashing light.
They offer only strippers, drinks, girls to help spend your money on drinks and no sex, on site or off. Lap dances are $12. I don't understand the concept.
6. LIPS is the best stripper club in San Salvador, if not the world. On a weekend night, there can be clost to 70 girls there. You will have to take a taxi to reach it, because it is up the hill several miles and nobody has ever survived the walk, except trained mountain hikers with lots of time on their hands. The taxi is $4 going up and $6 back to the hotel. When they have you by the balls you will pay the extra $2.
Lips cost $6 on weekends and includes a $3 beer. It is $3 early in the week and includes no beer! Either way, you will spend $6. The main stage is in the center of the club and three girls at a time are there displaying their goods and giving $1 feels of said goods. Lap dances are full contact for $12. It is possible to hook up with a pro here for external activities, but there is no on site facilitie. It is best to go before 6PM if you wan to meet one outside, because the shift changes at 7PM and she will be free for fun. Otherwise, they get off at 2 AM and you probably won't care at this hour.
7. Best Bar- After lips, walk down the hill about a block and go into Best Bar for $6. The girls are very good looking. They have a stripping stage, girls to help spend your money,lap dancers for big bucks and a dance area for regular dancing with the beautiful lady who is helping to spend your money. Most are pros and will take part in after hours activities.
8. Titanic - This is a beautifully appointed, Atlanta style, Tropical Isle theme, strip club with beautiful girls. Entrance is $6 and a drink for a girl is $17 (That is no typo)!! Entrance into the VIP is over $100 (that's dollars, not Baht) and sex can cost into the hundreds. I really can't get my mind around this concept! It seems to me they picked the wrong country to open this type of club.
9. The Office - halfway up the hill to Lips at one of the roundabouts there is a road going off to the right. At the end of the first block there is a nondescript house which houses The Office, a very upscale brothel. The girls are nearer the top end of the scale, including many Nicas. The Salvadorenas tend to be a bit thick in the middle, so if you want thin go to a place with Nicaraguans. The atmoshere inside is really nice. It looks like a well decorated home that is full of beautiful girls who will screw your brains out.
10. For those who walk on the wild side, there is also a gay bar up the street take a right. I did not see any reason to visit this establishment.
