Went to 977 tonight for a drink at 1:30 a.m. The place was pretty crowded up front, but twice as many guys as girls. The remaining talent averaged between 4-5. The layout is nice and a lot better than Ness IMHO, with many more comfortable tables, nooks, and corners than Hook. I'm puzzled why more upscale talent isn't available at 977, especially since so many other clubs are now closed; girls must think they'll make more at Hook. But 977 has the best manager/bartender IMHO; she's truly first class. Maybe 977 will fulfill its potential in time; I'd like to see that happen. But it will probably depend on the new "Keep" and the new "Ness" (whenever they open). On the way out I bumped into one of the gatas and got a seriously dirty look; they could lighten up a little and maybe that's why better talent isn't forthcoming.

I dropped in on three different nights and found the line-up quite variable. One night midweek there were around 10 girls, mostly acceptable and a few very nice looking. Another night on the weekend 3 girls, not at all attractive. Agreed that given time this could turn into a great place, and the bartender is indeed outstanding. Price expectations here seem a bit more reasonable than Hook or Newport.

For all the reasons mentioned this the best deal and far more relaxing place than Hook. The best part of this place is the bartender is my old friend Monica. If you treat her well she will make sure you get cold drinks, snacks etc. Met the owners who seemed quite reasonable as well. The owners have nothing to do with the ladies who wander through but they treat everyone with respect which is what I look for in a bar. Everyone welcome as long you respect the others in the bar. If I lived in BA this would quickly become my "local" bar. Tell Monica Pete sent you! Drinks are far better and half the price of hook. You only buy a lady a regular drink if you want to; no pressure.

Newport was really busy tonight, but I only saw one chica that caught my eye and then she left early (lots of tattoos and big tits); tats aren't my thing, but I make exceptions when they exude the right aura. On her way out she looked straight at me but kept walking; a chica that won't even stop to say "Hola" is usually looking for a big payday.

Anyway, on to 977 Marcelo T Alvear. I saw some really pretty chicas I'd never seen there before; one was on her way out as I came in. I must have looked impressed because on her way out she stopped to tell me she'd be back soon if I wanted to wait. I actually thought about it; she was that pretty.

And then there's Monica, the bartend. I love giving business to 977 if for no other reason than Monica. She's the real gem, iMHO.

I learned about this place only through the reports here in AP.

I visited twice in the past 10 days.

I don't understand why the place exists or survives, and I don't understand why very respected members of this forum visit the place.

I am not trying to start any fight here. I respect all opinions and don't think mine have any privilege over other's.

I just would like an explanation.

- The place has a terrible layout: the bar itself is next to the kitchen/deposit and the bathrooms, and has only 5 stools, in a corridor.

- The rest of the space is crowded with heavy wood tables and heavy wood chairs, which are most often use in restaurants serving traditional North Argentina food (empanadas, etc.). Not the furniture for a bar.

- There is no light, not even colour light.

- There is no space between the tables/chairs for the chicas (or patrons) to roam about.

- There is no dancing of course (and, God forbids, there is no pole), which is understandable given the current regulatory situation, but how come nobody was able to come up with some sort of entertainment.

- The chica quality seemed really low to me.

I understand Monica is well liked by many experienced members. Is there more to it that I am missing?

Thanks in advance for your clarifications.

Thanks in advance for your clarifications.Not much brotherman, it's not a great place but most of us really like Moni. I also like Gabi her husband. Watching the red headed waitress's tits bounce is nice too.

I usually stop by once a week because I live really close. Every once in a while there are a couple 7-8ish chicks that will be there but for the most part it's as you say.

To quote the great Upton Sinclair: 'When do you play a crooked wheel? When it's the only game in town!' Such was the case for night-time venues on my last trip to BsAs. All the other venues except Newport, which is hideous, had been closed. But I still could not bring myself to leave with any of the chicas there. My friend did, and said he had a good time, but he is a serial over-payer and total monoglot.

I will answer this question in simple tourist version:

1. Monica.

2. Gabi.

3. NO BS. Frankly helpful and zero pressure. You can spend the whole night there and just drink some beers and talk.

4. You can bring in a date if you want: its a bar.

5. The girls are not all the hottest and some are horrible but many are above average and "sweet." Some will chat for hours, share drinks, and TLN for less than a dance at Hook.

6. They play good music and will adjust to the client's wishes.

7. It is a hangout for all walks of life. I have met cops, judges, construction guys, business owners, chefs, etc. Here and all put their pants on the same way and will talk.

8. Many international travelers especially pilots hang out here and make for interesting conversation.

9. I have met about 2 great, 5 average, and 1 absolutely horrible friends there.

10. I have actually been "given" a free drink when someone was rude without any request.

Not saying it is amazing but it has become my go to place to hangout. It is the "Cheers" of BA in my book.

PETE.

I'm a senior member at the 'mother' site. I remember when there was no Argentina Private. Some very secretive guys here.

Anyways. I went here tonight, a Thursday. I walked by some other places but kept walking because street touts tried to get me to go in the other places.

I went in almost at midnight, no cover charge. The security guy could tell my Spanish was no good, so he took me down stairs and told the bartender, "English" I only seen 4 girls and about 2 guys. 2 girls were actually good looking, and 2 of them I would not have sex with them if it was free. The ugly ones kept trying to make eye contact, I kept avoiding eye contact. I still did not know what the system of the bar was.

My drink, a rum and coke was 180 pesos, that is if you use their cheapest rum. If you want a different rum then it would be 220 pesos. I was trying to figure out how will I get the good looking girls that are sitting quite far from me to talk to me. But, they kept walking to the bathroom or the private room. The good looking blonde comes up to me and starts speaking to me in good English. I think she looks to be 25 but before she left my apartment I asked and she said she is 30. Her drink which was a glass of wine was also only 180 pesos. So I agreed to buy her a drink. I was glad they didn't try to sell some expensive drink. Also, you don't have to pay some bar fine or exit fee. So, no cover charge, girl drinks are the same price, no exit fee. What is there to not like?

The lady bartender spoke very good English also. She told me to not worry, it is early and more people will come. Sure enough, at about 12:30AM I was seeing more and more girls, and guys started coming in. I seen quite a few girls I would have liked to fuck. Now the only problem is if I go there, the girl I took named Lola would probably be all over me and I would have a hard time getting some other girl, unless I want to be an asshole. I still didn't know the deal at the point, and she asked me what I wanted to do. So I asked her what can we do? She replied whatever is in my imagination. Some reasons I like her is for one she is very good looking, had some nice natural tits, while wearing her dress anyways, and she had that type of skin that is so soft. Ad she was affectionate in the bar, so I could tell she would be good in bed. I asked her if she was going to kiss me, and she said whatever is in my imagination. Now... I know I was getting gringo priced. She said $200 USD. I was thinking hell no. I like her a lot, and just giving her a hug gave me a boner like I was a teenager, but I wasn't paying $200 USD. Then she said if I don't have dollars I can pay 2,000 pesos. I was like huh? Her math really sucks, or she just doesn't know about the exchange rate. She did say she was only working there for 2 weeks. I countered with 1,500 pesos. She said OK, but I pay for her taxi back. The taxi was only 46 pesos anyways.

We got to my place, and she freshened up in the bathroom for awhile, then I normally take a quick shower to wash my balls so maybe a woman won't hesitate to BBBJ. Well, she made me all kinds of crazy, and then she put her ass in my face and I kissed and played with her ass, sucked tits, and she rubbed her ass on my dick. Then she said condom baby, I want it now. I thought she was going to give me a covered BJ. Nope, she just started fucking. It didn't bother me though, I was ready to fuck. She was genuinely ready to fuck also. I told her I want her to come, well, I almost always say that. She had her fun, and was maybe a little to wild for me actually. She wanted me to talk nasty. But, I'm not much of a talker during sex. And she like to do other freaky things like suck her own tits, put her fingers in her mouth, asking me to fuck her harder, etc. After a few positions I went to my ending position, usually doggy style. We exchanged phone numbers and I helped her get a taxi back. It was still early as far as that club goes, so she of course wanted to go back to see if she can make more money. A good thing about Lola is she already has a 10 year visa to the US. She had had it for a year but hasn't gone to the US yet. Her sister lives in North Carolina. I told her if she makes it to the US, I'll drive her all over the US. Said said hopefully she will go in 2 - 3 months. I'll see how that goes. I know I won't be sending any money to her.

I wouldn't go to the bar to get her again, but I wouldn't mind her coming straight to my apartment, but she better do some BBBJ next time. I'd sure like to see some of the other ladies though. More and more girls kept coming in there and I would hug Lola so I could look at the girls behind her. There were quite a few good looking women in there when I left. Lola kept me distracted, so I couldn't see all the ladies. But I'd say there were at least 10 - 12 ladies. 2 or 3 were ugly, 2 or 3 were average. The rest were 7 or 8's. I did see a tall brunette that might be a 9. I wasn't able to stare long enough. I was with Lola. I probably left the bar with Lola a little after 12:40AM, so I don't know if it would get even more busy. I'm sure it would. There really wasn't much of any special music when I was in there. At midnight the bartender said it would be busy in about an hour.

I say big thumbs up for this place, no tricks, no pressure, no cover charge, on Thursday anyways, the drinks for girls is the same price, no bar fine or exit fee, and the security guy or nobody else asked for a tip. And the security guy fetched out taxi. And the bartender can speak English, so a thumbs up for this place. My only gripe would be it costs 180 pesos for their cheapest rum and coke and the same price for a glass of wine. But this is BA.

I'm not sure when or if I'll go back again. I messaged an escort girl, one of the hottest ones, and she was not in BA, some German guy took her to Brazil. Me and her have been chatting back and forth all day for the last few days now. She gets back Friday (today) if things go well she might go with me to Chile and Bolivia. Where I don't think mongering will be good anyways.

And then there's Monica, the bartend. I love giving business to 977 if for no other reason than Monica. She's the real gem, iMHO.I didn't catch the name of the bartender, but I'm guessing the bartender tonight was the so called Monica. A brunette, I think upper 30's, showing me some nice cleavage, she is really cool. When making my drink the bottle of rum was near empty, so she finished off the bottle in my glass. Then she asked me if I wanted more rum. I said yes, before you know it I had way too much rum in my glass. But I wasn't complaining, she offered and I said yes. No pressure here, no extra cost for ladies drinks, no bar fines, if you buy a drink for a girl she gets a real drink, etc. And nobody tried to cheat or overcharge, or give me the wrong change. I appreciate an honestly run place. I guess your only negotiations is the price with the lady that you want to go with, but the bar has nothing to do with that. You just have to remember the place doesn't have a nice crowd until rather late. I only went on Thursday, and it wasn't decent until about 12:30AM. I didn't stay much longer after that. If you can get some of these girls phone numbers they would surely see you before they go to work.

Is this bar still open? Anyone visit recently? Any updates? Does 977 Marcelo T De Alvear have a name? Thanks.It was open in January 2017. The chica I was with, an ex-Hook employee, recognized three of the four chicas sitting at the bar so they must have worked at Hook at one time or another. They must have been sideline girls because I would have remembered the dancers.

Open from midnight. Sunday night closed. Minimum consumption ARS 200. Nice place with nice music. Caveat, just not enough girls at the moment. Seen there 2-3 girls between 00:30 am and 1:00 am.
