Cebu Bars

[quote=stroker ace88; 1318239]depends, depends, depends.

depends if there are any locals in the bar. depends if you are a regular customer and they know you. depends if you are asking multiple girls and the mamasan for specific barfine information. depends on the gossip going around in cebu about raids. depends if you brushed your teeth and used underarm. depends if you are an old horny devil and you need depends so you don't [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] your pants.

alot of bars in cebu are nervous these days. the raids are becoming more frequent and sometime the reason is **** and sometime it's license issues, and not just the payoff problems of old.

also look towards the front door when you are inside a bar in cebu. if there's a red light flashing it usually means its "code red" and no barfine activity is discussed. usually it's because there are locals in the bar who could be undercover. or it could mean i am in the bar and have pissed my pants, either way it's just another day in the queen city of the south.

enjoy cebu.[/quote]its all over for cebu, as long as ijm is around and they have more dollars than bars owners can think of paying off local cops.

in 2010, ijm's project lantern reviewed[13] its programs in cebu, phillipines, supported by the bill and melinda gates foundation[14] and concluded that there were 79% fewer minors in the sex trade in cebu than before the program started, over 200 minors were rescued, over 700 law enforcement officials were trained, and over 100 traffickers were charged. in 2011, ijm stated that they had worked with local authorities to free over 2500 bonded laborers in the indian states of tamil nadu and andra pradesh since 2001.

these guys are sponsored by bill gates and us government of all people and they have millions and millions of dollar to play with. the ceo, presidente is a farang. who is a laywer and a hardcore christian. hahaha. no chance in hell now, it would be that easy anymore.

its all about business and the more number they show, the more money they get. don't bet on local undercover, the recent raid on liza pub in mandaue was carried out by andrey sawchenko, looks like an eastern european on a mission.

i think it would be regular occurrence in cebu. more like every other month. 2000 pesos and there are plenty of farangs who would rat out like in pattaya during the raid. after a while they won't even need an excuse, they will just create one and raid. its all good business for them

It's the local officials who will request some cash for there 're-election campaign'. Sometimes a few city officials will visit a bar and drink for free. They pick a BG who will be sent to a hotel room later and they don't pay for anything.

If a foreigner is hell-bent on visiting the bars and using that info to raid them it will be more difficult for a first time visitor to Cebu who just wants to barfine a cutie. The regular customers will have a chat with the mamasan, pay the barfine with his bill and meet the girl outside the bar.

The bar scene in Cebu has been going downhill for years IMO and owning a bar in Cebu is not a sound business plan.

Cebu is very catholic, most locals who can change things here do not like the bars, or to see Cebu become another AC, you can still exchange numbers with girls, if you live here and the bars know you and you spend up the girls may meet you.

Hi,

I have a friend that asked me if she could borrow money, I said no but she could earn it, so if any guy wants a hook up pm me for CP# she does live in lapu lapu though.

This thread is a classical example of too many Cebu threads nowadays.

Very few entries, last one about two months ago, same as multitude of other current Cebu threads. Have to look through all of them, just in case. Waste of time.

Put Cebu back where it was before, about three threads, example. 1. Bars and Nightlife. 2. Hotels and Restaurants. 3. Other Info

I heard recently the old club harem has re opened under a different name. Some japanese name. Anyone who lives there know what it's called now. Any mongers been there to give us update info.

I think she no longer has all the girls, just a few serving drinks, kind of like standard western bar. I'll try to get more info in a few weeks. Kind of pointless if you ask me, it's really too far out of the way just for a drink, nice atmosphere though.

Totally agree. It is as if the current system was designed only to make it harder to research!

Any opinions about this place?

Last time I was there I bought a gal a ladies drink and had a beer. Came back about two hours later, walked in and told the waitress just a minute, I am looking for someone (previous gal). Next thing I know this guy with a thick Aussie accent, real neanderthal type, askes me: "do you like the girls mate, do you like the air conditioning mate, buy a drink or get the f out."

Is this place that bad, or did I hit it on the wrong night?

You can't expect the owners, managers, or even customers at these places to be polite or classy. If you're not sure that you want to stay, just order an overpriced bottle of water. Then just take it with you if you want to exit early. There are some ISG member who dislike certain east asians that come in, don't order anything, get gals paraded in front of them, point at what they want or sometimes don't point. And then walk out. You will never see that happen at LS. At least I haven't yet. So maybe they have a non-discriminatory policy. You come in, you order a drink. Every place has it's pros and cons. I just wish there were more places in Cebu.

Does anyone remember the (now gone) Firehouse about half way between downtown and midtown. I liked that place before it became a warm beer place. Then it disappeared. As for edgy mama and managers, the Black Hole was the Cat's Meow.

I was having Hot tea at the lone star and the Aussie guy comes by and ask why I am not drinking beer. I ordered two just to shut him up. He did not seem like a nice person to customers he did not know.

One time I was the only customer in there during prime time. I got up and left. I wonder if the girls keep dancing if no customers are there? Kind of like a tree that falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it. So does it make a sound?

I agree that a few guys have met a Aussie with attitude, it still a good bar to meet girls, since you go there to meet girls and not men just let the mysterious Aussie go back to his chair and enjoy the dancers.

I never had any guy complain that I do not buy a drink or bar fine any girls there I only buy a water if I am thirsty and play pool. Maybe I am that aussie that you are talking about? Is he 6'3 and 245 lb (110kg)?
