Clubs and Boliches - General Info

[Tip12]

Thanks for the input. I appreciate you guys sharing your knowledge with a soon to be '1st timer'. I will be checking out the streets of BA for the 1st time ever in roughly 6 days - can't wait!

Cheers,

Good call. I agree whole heartedly. Best to stay out of trouble areas

Grandote: Read the reports under Rouge, where two foreign guys were restrained and physically beaten by a team of bouncers and hawkers over an unpaid and disputed bill over one grossly overpriced drink. If you try to leave or you argue a bill in a rip-off club, you accept some risk of a violent response.

The rip-off clubs cannot always back down or they risk having everyone know that there is no credible threat. They are obviously making strategy calls all the time, as they risk being closed by the police when ordering bouncers to rough up foreign customers. [[Many and probably most police are honest, and all report to a government that favors tourism. Incidentally, it was reported that Rouge was closed by the police for 'noise violations' the weekend after the incident in which two guys were beaten. That may or may not have been a coincidence.]]

Best advice: do your research, and do not enter one of the known rip-off places under any circumstances. This stuff never happens in the clubs that are discussed widely on this forum. Do not let any drink you did not order even get put down in any club. Immediately leave any club that attempts to deliver an unordered drink. If you still end up in a trouble situation, you have to make the call at the time.

Thumper,

I agree. Don't let these boliche bouncers bully you. I had a similar experience at Hot Point (name changed) and told the bouncer to step aside please, and believe it or not, he complied, but he did ask me not to come back. Are you kidding me like I would go back. Lol.

There is a place a few doors down from Cafe Florida. It is in the area by the porn shop on Florida Street where the club hustlers hand out free entry coupons with the come on. Let me buy you a drink. You have to go up a flight of stairs to get there. I'd go find the name but it's not worth the walk.

Anyhow. Once up stairs two girls approach and start asking questions. With each correct answer they clap and drinks appear. Bottom line. They clapped me into $190 worth of drinks in 5 minutes of which I never took a sip. They told me I couldn't leave without paying. Wrong answer on their part. I invited the bouncer / doorman to stop me from leaving unpaid. He stepped aside.

Lesson learned. If they clap, leave. You are always in control of your environment don't be bullied. I'm a big guy so that helps.

There's a place on Anchorena, name? And next door is Anchorena Swingers.

The boliche has a live sex act and the swingers club is a complex of rooms on different floors.

No dogs or donkeys.

At Hippopotamus you can watch a midget grope the topless dancers.

You are coming to the wrong country for that type of entertainment. Of course you can hire a couple of chicas to put on a show in your hotel.

Sex trade here is kept reasonably discreet.

Guys,

I am going to BA on business for the 1st time next month. I am happily married and will not fool around, but IT DO want to check out the most outrageous (and possibility bizarre) adult entertainment that BA has to offer. Can you clue me in on locations for live sex acts and the like?

Thanks,

Headed to BA for 1st time.

The Louvre of the plastic surgeon's art would be Los Angeles.

Don't forget Miami. Probably behind LA in sheer numbers, but per capita, I don't know?

[Timba8]

The Louvre of the plastic surgeon's art would be Los Angeles.

Having (happily) avoided the LA strip club scene, I'll bow to your greater experience and call this sloppy seconds.

As a long time (but reformed) patron (San Fran, London, Paris, Vegas, Atlanta, BKK) my radar always goes on code red when I go into a strip club. My experience has been that they try to vacuum your wallet with promises, but no performance. Of course BKK is a major exception.

I figured that my BA experience wouldn't be complete without a trip to these two strip joints:

Blacks - wall to wall ladies @ 11 p.m. or so.
Madahos - same as Blacks.

Still, the temptation factor was very low. To me, if you consider the plastic surgeons work to be an art form, then this is the Louvre.

I've visited those places suggested as upscale.

Are they really the very best a big city like BsAs can offer?

I understand that many of you might frown at the title, and I do understand the reasons, which I respect. I have no intention of starting something that will go on and on forever, without any practical result.

The question is: where can all the "aspiring models" be found? I've heard a few comments about some agencies, and would like to know your experience in that area.

Thanks!

Again semi-off-topic, but Sol y Gol is funny. I had a similar experience, but in writing.

I had emailed an old aquaintance that I would be happy to buy her a drink next time I was in BA. She wrote back that she was now working at "Clash", gave me la direccion, seemed to be right on restraunt row in Recolata. I could not remember seeing anything like it so I thought it might be in the old Hippopotemus. Turns out it was "Clarks".

"Clash" = "Clarks"; go figure.
