Cebu Bars

Was staying at the Waterfront airport hotel overnight. I had previously visited the KTV there last year but decided to give it one more shot.

When I walked in only two girls sitting in main area (where last time I was there, maybe 15 were in public area). No customers in public area. Mammasan asked if I wanted line up so I said ok. About 10 girls in line up. None I really would have chosen but for research purposes chose one. 24 year old, pretty face but chubby. 410 per hour sitting fee plus standard drink price to buy her drink (expensive but not totally out of control). Asked her the standard questions of how the place worked. 70% Korean customers. She barfines for 5000 (not sure now whether that was private arrangement or price paid to bar). At 11.00 pm they have a show with all girls. Suddenly 7 tables of customers came out of private rooms and all up probably 30 girls on stage. A few were not bad but obviously already taken in the private rooms. Maybe also never offered to Westerners. After show everyone disappeared again and I was left by myself with the chosen girl in the public area. Strange culture the Asian KTV private room culture. The hour was up and wasn't going to extend so gave small tip (which she was still appreciative of) and left.

Don't think I will bother again if I am staying at the airport. Generally I have not spent any time in the Mactan bar scene. I don't remember a lot of FR's here on Mactan. But I would suspect the Koreans dominate the bars on Mactan and so I don't think I will bother either researching FR's here or visiting. Unless an expert says I am missing out on Mactan gems?

Still in Cebu, nice change from Angeles. Cebu has got vibes, certain amount of charm. The people are just simply nicer.

Arena Cebu still there, P100/110 beer, P300 Ladies Drink, P6500 Bar Fine, officially. Nice gaggle of ladies. Indians noticeable this time, blocking entrance to toilet, talking in private, group of 5/7 , out of sight of everyone. Tactics as to who would pay and who of the 7 would go first I suppose.

Place is dominated and dependent on Koreans and Japanese. Girls will ignore all others if K's in attendance. I got a nice girl, even so. Being hansom helps, LOL. Once K fans found out through her I am a good fuck, the K fans gave me the come on too, much to the changrine of the K's.

Downtown sleaze, Sangcianko / Pelaez, still on. Not for the faint hearted.

Checked two tips, Mandaue. SK2 pronounced 'eskeetow' , formerly Club Harem. Arrive, its now called "45" something. A Jollibee lady (overweight) tried her best. Nothing compares with Harem. Then another new bar show place, to me: Ferrari, nearby "near J Mall, in A S Fortuna St (Mandaue). Drivers know it. Enter, P174 beer, P659 Ladies Drink, P6000 Bar Fine. Small to medium sized place, nice looking, furnished etc. Some very nice looking girls here, similar to Arena standard. Friendly, read 'hungry' only four customers in the place, 20 or so girls, and an off night Sunday. Worth checking out on a Thurs Frid but tough looking woman ie manager, closely watching everything. Exchange of phone numbers, thus avoiding bar fine, not likely to happen methinks. Price kills it, otherwise very nice little nooky.

Met a lot of charming people, girls. Beats Angeles Manila for that.

Previous Sunday night Mango bars near Church all empty, 2 or 3 girls and one or no customers in each and every one of them. Exception: Vikings (1st bar on left, down the stairs) , around 40/50 girls it seemed and 5/6 customers. Hit Vikings and you will not be wasting your time, if its a Sunday night, that is.

Cebu Pacific planes. ETD 8 am Cebu City, 10 am we are told to board that plane. 11 am we are still in the plane on the tarmac. On arrival Manila we had to stay in the plane on tarmac for 20 minutes before being able to exit. Clark, a 9.15 pm CP plane changed to 1.15 pm next day. People who had to overnight etc did not receive any help or compensation. Compare that with me getting a P16,850 cash in hand refund from Cebu Pacific, all because I knew someone in a travel agency who knows her job. If I tried, would not have happened. Thats my first refund in SE Asia, and a big one at that. Tempted to spend some of it on a Ferrari girl, but didn't. Silly prices.

By the way, arrival Cebu airport, white taxis relocated from upper level to ground level, domestic arrivals level. Exit, turn right. Worse than previous arrangement upstairs. Three locations in three years it seems. Round and round they go, never to arrive at their destination. The upper level arrangement was right, lower level arrangement not so good, but hey its Phils.

Must say, called into L A Cafe once, too. Day time 1. 30 pm, some nice girls there. No suggestion of me having to buy a drink or anyone, incl waitresses asking for a drink. Yet that has been reported here by others. No hassles for me, anyway.

Bit of a ramble but had to punch it out, in between heavy schedule.

See previous report yesterday Sunday, re Ferrari club / show place. Called back Monday more girls and more pretty ones. Prices given to me Sunday wrong. Beer P95 , Ladies Drink P464. Still expensive. If you can secure her via cellphone, she expects her half of the official bar fine, she expects P3000. Don't think you will get one for less at this place. Nice experience with one I consider a 8 plus. Personality, looks, friendly. Tonight I will consummate the romance, LOL.

.[/QUOTE]Issue with the planes is FR in Manila thread as much is due to NAIA and the totally inadequate airport facilities and 1 runway. I usually find the 8-9 am planes leave on time so am surprised (and worried) that this happened to you Sxxx but Cebu Pac has 'upgraded' its systems so the issue is now worse. See FRs in Manila also.

Taxis. I like the new set up as no scammers and no carrying heavy bags up a ramp etc. I like the new set up yes can be better but I think is way better than the scramble before Unless you went p to departures).

Thanks for the report. It's been many years since I played in Lapu2, but I remember that Mermaid had some hot ladies. I'm not sure if it's still there. Coming from the airport you could see the neon sign (at night) just before you took the curve onto the bridge off of Mactan Island.

Has anyone been to Liza's Mandaue since the big raid? I don't remember the name exactly, but my alcohol addled brain wants to type Liza's Sea Fun club.

Somewhere I heard Liza's changed to a non bar fine policy. Really don't know. My m. O. Is, if folks are not talking about it, you can safely forget it.

Yeh, Liza's was good when it was. But seems it aint, anymore.

Has anyone tasted Liza's lately? I too am curious about its status nowadays.

Out that way, and on a trip few days ago, I only tried and reported on Ferrari and SK2 , which is now called '45' something.

Vikings was the big plus place when I was in Cebu. But then I am just a *****monger, not a Skogy look alike. Lucky lad that he is (looks, youth, money, and game). Although I agree with him, not too sure about his future 'health'. Might need a penis transplant or two?

Gents,

Red Lips is closed by order of CC Mayor Rama. Only time will tell if the bar will re-open under a new name.

IMO the writing was on the wall after the bar was raided back in 2012.

Personally I liked the bar. There was always a good range of GRO's, with a couple of quality spinners. What I didn't like about the bar, were the locals who would sit against the wall to the left as you entered. You could tell they were there for a reason (not sex related) and watched everything that went on in the bar from a distance.

Some college girls I know used to work there part time and Red Lips was not fused if they came and went at times. Owned by the Scandie who owns Vikings etc so I wonder where he is now.

The college girls (UC, USJR and other colleges) were never trafficked, they went there of their own accord knowing exactly what would happen. One of them her father encouraged her to do as family needed cash, she was happy, they were happy but of course the IJM and other kill joys were not LOL.

[QUOTE=WickedRoger;1805939] ..............................Owned by the Scandie who owns Vikings etc so I wonder where he is now........................................[/QUOTE]Are you talking about the original owner of Vikings, Peter (Scandinavian, known as Peter the Viking)?

He died many years ago, at a guess, twenty years ago. Many a story can be written about him, especially in the original Viking location, near Ramos St (Mango Ave), 1980's.

Phil wife proved to be a smarter bar owner than Peter, and before Peters body had got cold, expanded Vikings, apparently with money from a sucker foreigner investor. Peter the Viking (as he was called) has been dead a long long time.

Never knew the guys name as I rarely went to bars (still don't) unless I have visitors or know a girl who works there etc.

Whatever, is sad as I like Red Lips and so did the girls I knew there as was much easier to work there and less restrictions I was told.

Some college girls worked there o and off when they pleased. When they did I would always pop in and say Hi and buy them a drink etc.

Being discriminated against so no love lost here. Bye Bye.

Fucking Cebu / Mango Square, they really play an anti western game there, fuck them.

Koreans pay up.

][/QUOTE]All the girls from red lips are working at bg's so bg's has a rich picking of girls now. Chatting some ex red lips girls on the first night after closure and they are still saying reopen in five days but maybe they are getting optimistic feedback from management.

I was told the rule is, a GRO type bar cannot immediately open in the same place where one was closed down, any new owner must wait one year before re-opening.

I was also told there are ways around the rule, so we will have to wait and see what will happen.

I ventured into the new Silver Dollar this trip. I went to the old bar once during the day back in 2013. Ticked that off the list not sure I need to go back again.

I went to Ferrari based upon feedback here. Nice renovated decor. Was shown maybe 20 girls in line up. Better looks than the Mango bars. Was originally quoted sitting fee of something like 674 (I don't remember the exact figure but they use silly non rounded prices). But both a ladies drink and mammasan drink so total would be something like 1300+ for one hour. I said you have to be joking. At which the price was adjusted to something like 457 pesos (guessing again some silly non rounded number) which still meant something like 900 pesos for 1 hour. I said ok. Chose a quite pretty girl from CDO. Was quoted 6000 barfine but did not partake. Upon receiving my change the mammasan sort of demanded a tip for her and the waiter at which I lost my patience and gave her a soapbox lecture on the need for her to improve her customer relationship skills. In general I didn't like the culture of this place. Dishonest vulture culture (similar to Arena's culture). Can I ask if other reviewers paid both the girl sitting fee and the mammasan fee or was I ripped off? Would I go back. Hmmm I don't like to patronage places where I feel they treat me as an idiot to be ripped off even though the looks of the girls was not bad.

[QUOTE=Socker;1807794]I loved and hated that bar. The layout was nice and it was off the beaten path[/QUOTE]Your post brought back memories of my first visit to Red Lips.

I spent the day drinking at an Aussie buddy's place over in Guadalupe. I was pretty drunk when I left and I took a taxi to the old Silver Dollar around 7 pm to continue my liver abuse. Later I walked from Fuente over to Red Lips and grabbed something to eat along the way.

I walked into Red Lips around midnight and paid no attention to the filipina who was standing just inside the door, as all my attention was focused on the lovely ladies on stage. Well, it seems the filipina was there to point out and warn customers of the rather large step DOWN into the bar. LMAO I missed the step and almost crumpled to the floor and my body twisted sideways in a serious attempt to avoid kissing the floor. I landed on one of the small sofas, thankfully no one was sitting there and the bar was pretty empty. There were 6 or 8 dancers on stage and half of them laughed and the other half gasped. I was ok, with only a bruised ego. Talk about a way to make an entrance.

I ordered a bottle of water and low and behold the waitress who delivered the water I knew very well from another bar. She busted my balls about my entrance for awhile, which was all in good fun. I decided it was only water or soda for me the rest of the night because I was still feeling drunk, so I started to buy her LD's. Usually GRO's or dancers will order rum and coke (hold the rum) or ice tea, but she wanted tequila, so we left the sofa and went over to the bar where she proceeded to pour herself a shot. I knew from partying with her in the past that she liked to drink. She had 5 or 6 shots in the hour or so we were at the bar. Now this is where things get interesting.

I knew her for a couple of years at that point. We partied in GRO bars and in regular bars around Mango. She was never the prettiest filipina around me, kinda nerdy looking with glasses and didn't have that thin lean spinner body that I usually lust after, but there was just something about her. She had a very good command of the English language and had a way with words. I lusted after her on many occasions, but alas, it seems my game wasn't up to par with her because she always shot me down. So I was kinda shocked when she started to flirt back at me. It was playful at first but after awhile she leaned close and she started to talk dirty, the likes I have never heard a Filipina utter before or since.

I thought the filth coming out of her mouth was a wind-up, just bolax2 GRO talk to tease or try to entice a barfine, but I knew she didn't barfine or go with customers so here I was sitting there listening to her filthy raunchy potty mouth half shocked and the other half totally turned on. She told me her shift was over and if I want to go somewhere with her to meet her near Yellow Cab in ten minutes. I said alright sounds good. I paid my tab and she took my arm and in a hilarious way escorted me over to the door and made sure to point out the step I missed on the way into the bar.

I waited out near Mango for awhile and I came to the conclusion her filthy talk was just another way to joke around with me and so when she asked me to go somewhere else with her it was probably going to be bar hopping around Mango like we had done so many times before. Well 10 minutes turns into 15 and I'm sure she played me but when I was about to hail a taxi and leave, out she comes from the bar and she looks good. I dunno what she did but dang she looked hot. I asked her where she wanted to go and she whispered "Queensland" into my ear so the guard at Yellow Cab could not hear. As she leaned close I could smell her body spray and my mind did somersaults trying to drink in her essence.

I said alright let's go and took her hand and moved towards Mango to hail a taxi, but she pulled away and said no this way. She pulled me towards Vienna and I thought to myself now what LOL? She told me to "wait awhile" as she went into the restaurant and in seconds she came out with a helmet and told me some relative or other works there so she keeps her helmet there and parks her bike out front for free. She goes over to her bike and puts on her helmet and said, "get on biotch" LOL I was taken aback. I did not expect that at all.

I tried to talk her out of it since I was still somewhat drunk and she had been drinking but she dismissed it. I got on and together we drove down Mango. As we passed the Mango-Gorordo intersection some CITOM dude stopped us. I was not wearing a helmet so I just passed the guy 200 P and he let us continue LOL. What a crazy ride down Mango on the back of a bike driven by a half drunk Filipina. Good thing at that time of the night there wasn't a lot of traffic around.

So we get to Queensland and I paid for a three hour stay and to the room we go. Once the Queensland staff closed the door, she literally jumps on me. What ensued was nothing short of pure animal sex. Biting scratching full out passion. After we finished we both drifted off to sleep and I woke up when one of the staff members came to the door to inform me my three hours was almost up so I told him to change it the daily rate. We went at it again, but this time it started softer and gradually built up into amour fou, or more precisely, all consuming crazy love making. After, we fell asleep once again and hours later I woke up to an empty bed.

I got dressed and paid for the room and stumbled out into the street. The blazing sun scorched my face as my eyes tried to adjust to the brightness. I got into a taxi and I checked my phone and read the texts from her, all sweet, witty and thanked me for the evening. I left for another island later that day and when I came back to Cebu a week later I went back to the bar to see her again, but as luck would have it she no longer worked there. We texted each other for a couple of months after but that too ended when she changed SIM cards and I lost track of her.

I keep thinking I will bump into her again one evening around Cebu, as I did so many times before, but for now at least that day has yet to arrive. I guess it just goes to show that sometimes, the best experiences in life come from the people you would least expect it.
