Santo Domingo

[QUOTE=Bq Ribs]Just curious, how much easier is it for you to travel to SD compared to Sosua?

One other thing to consider for your short trip is SD for the most part is dead on Sundays. I usually go to Playa Boca Chica on Sundays. Last trip I stayed in SD all day and there was nothing to do. I enjoyed the peace and quiet. I did a little grocery shopping, rode around to check out different areas, just had a nice peaceful day.

If chica chasing was my primary interest I would have been lost.[/QUOTE]

That's what Saturday nights are for, to find a Chica to spend the lazy day with on Sunday :)

[quote=knowledge]making the map to begin with was incredibly stupid. those of you who know the country and the political climate will understand that publicity like that map (and anything, anywhere on the internet is publicity) is a sure way to cause another crackdown and closure of business. sure it will only be temporary but it's a pain in the ass. cut it out, it's stupid.[/quote]you have a good username, knowlege. knowledge is power. the google map provides knowledge. another expression i like is: "knowledge not shared, is knowledge wasted"

i have read your posts and learned from them. i have not read the comments at dr1 regarding the map. the map was compiled from readily available information on the internet. at least 4 of the places on the map advertise in listin diario (a normal mainstream newspaper) and/or mundo anuncio. any government official or other person who lives in santo domingo will know where the street walker chicas are. the street walker chicas walk along well known streets in santo domingo, no big secret. i am sure some holier than thou types have gone to the concert hall in the renaissance jaragua hotel and casino and i am sure they walked through the casino to get to the concert hall and unless they are blind, they would have seen the working girls who hang out in that casino, again no big secret.

germany and holland (the netherlands) are two countries that are considered civilized, with a well educated population. those two countries have legal prostitution. somehow a google map will cause the authorities in the dominican republic to shut down businesses? the world economy is in the crapper, tourism is down and somehow making it difficult for mongers to visit santo domingo is a good idea?

if i had a family with children, i am sure my kids would rather visit disney world than santo domingo. (i have no idea what type of tourism some people think santo domingo can offer, no beach, terrible traffic at times with some bad air pollution at times, a few touristic sites, but nothing to get many family tourists to come and even the nightlife is not great with bars closing at 1am on many nights).

publicity? according to you just about everything written in these boards can be considered publicity. or is it because the google map just lays everything out nice and easy, the problem? are the authorities and/or other moral do gooders just too lazy to read these boards? (or read the advertisements in listin diario/mundo anuncio? do they close their eyes when they go into casinos and close their eyes on certain streets?) ignorance is bliss.

i am not dominican, so how the people in dominican republic want to be governed, i have no say in the matter.

it is said that prostitution is the oldest profession. some form of prostitution probably exists in every country on this planet.

dominican republic is predominantly a christian country, maybe mostly catholic. jimmy swaggert, jim bakker, ted haggard are three prominent preachers who were involved in sex scandals. the catholic church chose to protect **** priests, rather than protect the young boys who were victimized.

you wrote the google map may cause the authorities in santo domingo to shut down some places. why stop there. many people consider gambling immoral, the dominican government could close all the casinos. some people consider drinking alcoholic beverages immoral, they could ban alcohol (or how about banning alcohol advertising at carnavals and other public places frequented by younger children, there is a presidente banner at just about any large public gathering). if the government and some holier than thou types really want to get moral, they could close all the cabanas too. they could make laws against adultery and enforce them. they could send a delegation to speak with the taliban. have all women wear burkas (covered from head to toe, in something that looks like a large potato sack). or stone to death women who are considered immoral (you can see the videos of women getting stoned to death on the internet, because of some alleged immoral act, all in the name of religion). sick.

make santo domingo a difficult, inhospitable mongering destination and less mongers will go there. this will result in a loss of tax revenue (over 100 dollars in fees for the dominican government on many round trip airline tickets, ten dollar tourist card, 26% taxes on most hotels and restaurants) , which the higher ups in the dominican government use for their own personal engorgement (expensive jeeps, villas in bavaro, private planes to take them to miami for the weekend) while many people in dominican republic live in shacks with frequent power outages and use crowded beat up old guaguas because of the lack of proper public transportation.

dominican republic as a way point for drug smuggling and the large amount of laundering of drug money and some people are getting upset about a google map.

as another member, helpmann, previously stated there are better countries for pay for play.

the chicas who support themselves (and some of them support their families) from prostitution, will lose money because a few people want to play the holier than thou game and make mongering difficult in santo domingo. waiters, waitresses, hotel owners, bar owners and other people in the tourism business will lose money when mongers decide to stay away from santo domingo. i guess the church can provide a small wafer and a sip of wine on sundays, to help when some people don't have money for food.

as an aside, years ago las vegas tried to change its image. las vegas tried promoting itself as a family vacation spot. for whatever reason that marketing ploy didn't work out. las vegas is again back to promoting itself as something akin to sin city.

i have had fun in the dominican republic. i try to help out any other guy who wants to travel there.

if the dominican government/dominican people don't want the money that mongers bring into the country, that is their choice. what consenting adults agree to do safely amongst themselves in the bedroom, should not be the business of anyone else.

[QUOTE=Bq Ribs]Thanks dude, I will let you know in two weeks. Next time you talk to your friend see what cross streets the bar is between.

Grand Opening Special? Two chicas for the price of one? I know, wishful thinking.

Thanks again for the info, always good to find new places.[/QUOTE]Casa de los Medallones/ House of Medaillions or Casa de la Moneda/ House of Currencies is located at: Calle Arzobispo Meriño #358, entre la calle Mercedes y la Emiliano Tejera, Santo Domingo. #15 on this map: [url]http://www.colonialzone-dr.com/CZ_Map.html[/url]

I would imagine that new bar located at #360 Calle Arzobispo Meriño, should be near La Casa de la Moneda, between la calle Mercedes y la Emiliano Tejera on Calle Arzobispo Meriño.

[QUOTE=BoricuaOnline]I made this map. hope it works.

I changed the Map status on Google maps from public (everybody can see) to private (only the one's with access to the link can see). So you can still access the map by this link.

Thanks, So I walk up Conde and the next block past Hotel Mercure I make a left. The new bar should be between the second and third block. Should be easy enough to find. I usually have a rental car so this will help when it comes time to find a place to park.

I will be in SD on the 27th for two weeks. I will make sure to stop by and report back.

Check your PM

[QUOTE=Bq Ribs]Thanks, So I walk up Conde and the next block past Hotel Mercure I make a left. The new bar should be between the second and third block. Should be easy enough to find. [/QUOTE]I believe you make the left at Hotel Conde de Peñalba (when coming from the direction of the Hotel Mercure on El conde). That should be Calle Arzobispo Merino. I have been told that La Briciola restaurant, Calle Arzobispo Meriño #152-A, is very good.

I spoke with my friend last night and he's rubbing it in at how tough his new job is. Several blow jobs a day, any girl (s) he needs for TLN. I've been real busy with work recently, but as soon as I get a chance I'm down there for a week. I told him, I'll work at the bar for fun to hang out with the girls. Hell I might just divorce my wife and move to DR.

I hope his venture is a success.

[QUOTE=Jaosousa]"You wrote the google map may cause the authorities in Santo Domingo to shut down some places. Why stop there."

All good points. This in particular caught my eye. The former VP in Costa Rica (female VP) enacted a law to close casinos between the hours of 5 am and 3 pm, rationalizing that casinos promote prostitution. Not sure of the correlation there or not. She is no longer VP but is running for president under a reform party. I'm sure "mongerors" who frequent CR will watch that election closely. Whether it impacts prostitution or not who knows, maybe they should have thought about all the casino workers who are out of jobs now.

I'm sure SD is aware of what is going on in their city because those places only exist because of the revenue that comes in from them. Certainly, a house of ill repute may not bid well in the Colonial Zone, that much is true. The CZ always has tourists from ferries and the like, Americans and Europeans alike. So I wouldn't go so far as to say people don't go to SD to see the sites, many do. Over the years I have seen some change on El Conde as the tourist police do more to try and rid the beggars and other riff-raff. I actually feel SD is mild in comparison to Costa Rica and Panama in prostitution activity. I can't vouch for the northern part of the island, as I've never been. JMHO

Very well said. But I hope North Korea president do not see our map, or he is going to point some missiles to the spots some american citizens visit to have fun. I added some places, Mambo Bar, 360, Shylo .

I have stayed at Hotel Palacio in the Zona Colonial numerous times and have walked around the Zona Colonial day and night. At night large parts of the Zona Colonial are dead, many streets are practically deserted. There are tourists who will visit the cathedral and museums in Zona Colonial. I just don't know how many families with young children will go to the Zona Colonial for a vacation. Adults who want to see historical sites, I can see going to the Zona Colonial.

The new bar 360 in Zona Colonial, I doubt will half naked chicas leaning out the windows whistling to people who walk by. Seems like it will be appear to be a normal bar with chicas who hang out there (but who can be taken out). I would guess most tourists who walk by it, would have no clue.

Zona Colonial has some artist schools and some artists can be a little off beat, so you can see some off beat looking Dominicans walking around in Zona Colonial. Some people have told me that there are a lot of drugs in Zona Colonial, I never saw it. Really never saw any people who looked like heavy drug addicts in Zona Colonial. On some of the side streets in Zona Colonial there are some small bars, most I never went into. I drove by one park in the Zona Colonial at night and there was a large gathering of guys, seemed to me to be at least 90% guys, not sure if that is a gay hangout or what. Zona Colonial has a mix of things. If the new bar 360 in Zona Colonial, is somewhat discreet, they may not have a problem. From what I know it would be the only chica bar in Zona Colonial.

I know some people who work in Zona Colonial and during my last trip about three months ago, they were telling tourism is down. Most other mongers I have seen in Santo Domingo, dress nice, have money, usually well behaved. Mongers provide a good revenue stream.

[QUOTE=Jaosousa]........Most other mongers I have seen in Santo Domingo, dress nice, have money, usually well behaved. Mongers provide a good revenue stream.....[/QUOTE]
That is a fact. I have been in SD plenty of times and never once did I see a chica chaser walking down the street half drunk with a beer bottle in hand like you would see in Sosua. SD is for the laid back monger.

I sure hope the new bar works out. We can always use a new place within walking distance of the Zona and Gazcue. The big question will be the chica prices and the salida fee.

I plan to check the place out in two weeks. GDP is still one of my favorites for $1500RD in house. Guys don't forget them street walkers behind Jaragua Hotel/Casino will do ST for $1000RD. Of course they will say no at first. Just start walking away and 9 out of 10 will come running after you.

The club is called Bar 360 a little discreet place from the outside which is just what the owner wants, being in the colonial zone, he don't want the cops breaking his balls, so don't blow this up too big, no threads on DR1 (please) for example, could you imagine some of the posts. Yes folks they actually have sex in the colonial zone as if they didn't know. The bar is tucked between a colmado and a German owned hotel on Calle Meriño No. 360 Zona Colonial. As you walking east on el conde when you get to the el penaba hotel and restaurant the beginning of Parque Colon make the left and go up 3 and a half blocks on the west side of the street.

I went early just when it was opening because I had to meet another chica later that evening but I still wanted to check it out. The owner Glen is a Canadian Gentleman that speaks three languages, Spanish, English and I think either French or Italian. First impressions a real nice guy trying to make a go of it, I floated a few ideas about something we may be able to do in the future together if things can work out on my end. A nice setup, discreet (there's that word again) very important in the zone. From the outside you wouldn't have a clue what type of bar it is. When you look from the street it just looks like an extension of the hotel with a small foyer with a couch, but if you go through the next set of doors you find the bar, not overly huge but a nice size, bar seats about 10 at the bar, also with some comfortable sofas adorning the walls.

He is looking for business as he has just opened about a week ago, so no one really knows about it, he says that right now they have 10 chicas working a night. Like I said I was there early between 6:30 and 7:15 and I saw about 5. All very cute definitely doable, a couple looked like they would really be worth the ride. He opens at 6:00 and the girls arrive around 7:00 closes the normal times, but if he knows you maybe something can be arranged if you call in advance and let him know you will be stopping down.

I asked him about prices, remember this is a club so you won't get the colmado prices but they seemed reasonable to me for the type of club we are talking about (right in the ball park). 150 pesos for a beer (presidente), I think he said 250 or was it 300 pesos for a mix drink. Top shelf of course more. Again once he knows you and if you are a regular this can be adjusted. One thing I notice about this guy he said once he gets to know you any thing is available for discussion, just what I like to here. The girls he quoted 3500 pesos for the two hours, salida included again after he knows you maybe negotiable, so my advice is to get to know the motherfucker. The real interesting thing is that since they are connected to that German hotel that I mentioned earlier, he has keys in the bar area for rooms if you just want to go upstairs and take care of business, 500 pesos for the room, but as I said before, talk to the man. Another good thing about the hotel is because of the foyer no need to step outside if you like discretion, which they do there, entrance to the hotel without walking outside.

Again I was there for just a recon mission and not that long at all, the chicas were dressing so I didn't see them in all of their finery but definitely a few that I would do with out hesitation. Impressions good guy, give him a try, this club has a chance to be a real winner, and tell him Stew sent you, after our discussion I am sure he will try and do the right thing for you as I promised that I don't mind trying to help but he has to help the brother mongers as well.

I will definitely be going back in the next couple of weeks and because I am such a nice guy I will sample a few of the goodies and give my impressions of them. I know it is a sacrifice but somebody got to do it and I am just that kind of guy that is willing to take one for the team.

A little more on this club and the new owner, I think his prices are set up for the tourist crowd that frequent the zone, and also the reason for the ultimate discretion. Because he operates in a tourist spot, that the powers that be; prefer to give the impression that the place is pristine. Can't have sex out in the open with wives and kiddies running around all over the place, one good thing is; is that he is not directly on the el conde, so he is a little off the beaten path for most tourists. To me it is understandable he wouldn't want to attract to much attention, and so if someone just walks in they get the feel that they went into a regular bar that just happens to have a bunch of fine looking ladies sitting in the joint.

Secondly the prices as I said is for that tourist guy that wants to get away from the wife and kids and have a few private "man" moments if you know what I mean. When I used to be married and I went on those family vacations it would kill me seeing all the fine ass chicas running around and me having to be with the wife, so I couldn't sample any of the goodies. That guy doesn't mind paying a little more for the oppurtunity to let loose a little. Again if he sees you are a regular guy and frequents his place, or let him know you heard about it from here or from me, he may be more apt to work with you, because he knows he can expect more business from you.

That is why I have stressed to get to know the guy. He is not looking to give the store away, after all the rents in that area are sky high!! But I do believe he recognizes the value of a few real good and steady customers.

When I posted about the prices of this club on another site, one of the other posters tried to compare it to GBP, saying the prices were the same but he wouldn't visit it because of the price of the chicas.

My response was the following:

I agree with you for the most part, but again different clientele, GBP although we know about it, for the most part is for the Dominican business man, and they don't pay a lot. When you compare this place don't compare it to a place like that compare it more to Foxy's, Sky High, and the Girl House, Paradas places like that. Because his clientele would be the same. Most of the above places don't have the Dominican you will find in GBP, they have the tourist.

My buddy called me last night to thank me for sending someone his way. Someone from the forum went to the bar an brought 2 buddies with him. He appreciates the business.

Please post your review. Good, Bad or Ugly and I will forward it on to him.

Thanks,
