    This place is so lame, they hand out used, worn-out cards from other clubs.

    A guy in front of this place on Carlos Pelegrini near Cordoba handed me an old card that said "Glamour Night Club" with an address San Martin 957. I took the card and kept walking. I guess they think you will be distracted by the stock model photos on the card and not realize the address doesn't even match. I had a good laugh.

    It's simple guys: If a club is not frequently mentioned in the forum and / or if it's not on any of the top lists, then just avoid it. Believe me, if it didn't make the cut, it's for a reason.

    Thanks,

    While that's good advice, we do need adventurous posters. There surely are some undiscovered gems that will be nice additions to the list. I would say at least 2 wingmen for such excursions, though.

    Greetings everyone,

    I don't know why there should be any confusion about this place. It's on my Clubs and Boliches List with a Big Red X so everyone knows to avoid it.

    Here's a copy of the comments for this location directly from The Clubs and Boliches List

    ===============================================


    Imagine Carlos Pelegrini 845 (between Paraguay & Cordoba) 4394-6380

    Approximately 3 doors down from Excedra. Small, cheap, plywood topped bar, with typically 4 to 6 girls of less-than-desirable quality. Still, this doesn't stop them from asking $25ar for a glass of water, which increadibly enough they brought to me in a glass and would not leave the bottle. Obviously, the only way they're going to survive is by getting some accidental traffic from Excedra.

    While in BsAs in Feb/March this year some nights I would walk past this club on my way to Exedra. Most nights the same guy outside would try to entice me in and my courteous reply would be 'no thanks'. One particular night as I walked past the guy asks me again and I reply no thanks but this night it was different he placed his hand on my shoulder and tried to turn me round. I turned to the guy and told him never put your hands on me again. He tried to make light of the situation, asking if I don't like chicas, but I could see that he kept looking to the entrance of the club in case he would need help.

    His English is not brilliant, but I tried to explain that I knew his club was a shit hole that was out to mug people.

    I never like being man handled but I'm not stupid enough to book myself a ticket to some police holding cell.

    If you walk along Lavalle, there's a couple more of these shit hole clubs to avoid.

    On my 1st visit to BsAs in 2004 I printed the list of clubs on here and used that as a guide, the chicas in the clubs would asked me which clubs I had been to, when I checked my list with ticks and crosses against the good and poor clubs they where amused.

    There is a large enough list of clubs on this forum that are good and I'll leave the discovery of new clubs to the natives!

    So in short, IF ITS NOT ON THE LIST OF CLUBS WITH POSITIVE REMARKS, KEEP OUT AND SAVE YOURSELF ANY HASSLE

    I believe the club next to Exedra in on the Carlos Pellegrini side.
    As a Newb I had the worst experience there as well. Smart enough to of had a wingman. Straylight)

    There has got to be a way to teach management a lesson. Some way to make mtg. See the light if you will. Sure putting reports out help the problem but one of these days an innocent monger is going to get hurt real bad at this Boliche next to Excedra. It would be nice to see justice served on this offending Boliche. Location is perfect be nice to turn this place around and give the girls at EXcedra a run for there money.

    And you will usually be the only guy in there as well. Thats usually a sign that a place sucks. When I was at that place there was a really hot chick dancing on the bar, but the two who came over to talk to me were sub par.

    I think we all have had this exp at least once. It happened to me a few years ago and I was luck to tell them off and literally ran over tThe guy standing at the door, they decided not to go outside. The idea is if you happen to stumble on one of these rip off, do not sit down, you can tell it is a scam when the women there are usually look like pigs.

    I think the name of this clip joint is Imagine. I stumbled upon in on my very first night in Buenos Aires (paragraph 3, about half way down the paragraph).

    A clip joint indeed, although it at least had a few chicas in it 3 years ago.

    Most of these places change their name so frequently, that a name would only help until the next change.

    However, if you know where Exedra is, it's just to the left if you're facing the front door. I saw a number of people talking to the chica out front, but none entering. There's also another one around the corner by La Chacra, but I haven't heard anything good about it either. In fact, I ignore all touts, as 95% of the time they're just rip off places.

    Hey I went in that place!

    Never wrote a report on it, but the story was pretty funny. Sounds like yours except that it took me only a few minutes to realize that this was a gip joint so I took off for the door. It was locked! So I raised a big stink. I asked them, what are you doing, imprisoning me? They tried to get me to pay like 50 pesos and I said for what? They said for the drink. And I told them I never drank any of it and I'm going to call the police. They kind of laughed and let me out. Another case where speaking Spanish definitely came in handy. Anyways. AVOID.

    General rule

    Guys,

    As a rule (ESPECIALLY in the microcentro) if you haven't heard of a club either here or from someone you know, don't go in!

    The odds that you will find an unknown gem are FAR less then that you will get ripped off, usually in the way Witto described.

    The police will generally be no help - their attitude is generally:

    "Did you go in" - Yes.
    "Did you sit down" - Yes.
    "Pay the money!"

    If you make a big enough stink you may be able to get away without paying, but maybe not, and it just ain't worth the hassle!

    If you break their door, you have commited a crime and may easily find yourself escorted either to jail &/or out of the country (probably for good), so my suggestion is lick your wounds and stick to known clubs.

    Saludos,

    David

    Angry Warning Boliche Trap Next to Exedra

    I was walkingout of Cafe Exedra Last night, when I was guiven a supposed to be a promotion to go in with no drink commitment. INto a Boliche that is right next to Exedra. So I went in to chk out the goods, I was sitted down with 2 girls. None of them in my range for doable so, realizing I had no interest and I say so. The girl ok let me have your promotion waversigned off. Next thing I know comes this big fellow with 3 orange juices. I took a minute to realize there was something wrong with that picture. When I tried walking out I was blocked and the owner tried to charge me 150 AR for the 3 drinks. I had given him 100 to pay for mine. I was expecting to get change, I didnt. And no I didnt pay the extra 50 as I manageto escape the place. I did not find the promoter afterwards. Though about calling the police. But I'm not sure if it woulve worked. I'll just break their glass door or window if I get a chance before I leave. Anyways. Don't go into this 'place. There is just not areason to anyways. So far this has been my only BA BAd expirience. Though I should share it. IF someone cares to follow up with the name on this place please do so.

    Thumbs down Imagine Still sucks / report

    10/22/05

    Meet up with another cool Monger today. (lowlight)

    Same hard core tactics to report at Imagine.

    The tout agreed to a free looky.

    Once inside the girls surrounded us. (there okay 1 hotie)

    Do not sit down at all if all you want is a look.

    Sort of lead to sit down, did not want to be rude. Big mistake.

    Fuck> Got lowlights attention and said there sticking me for 3 drinks which I did not ask for. > Lets go.

    NOTE: The signal the girls use to have a drink or the muscle come is to slap there ASS. They will look over there shoulder at the bartender or the muscle at the right time.

    Anyway I was huffing and puffing with the short stocky guy while he showed me the fucking fine print in spanish on the touts card.

    Lowlight got into it in spanish and then said wait outside I will pay. (pulled wallet out)

    I thought hell no but you do not second guess while shit is happening.

    Not sure if Lowlight realized it but I did watch his back. Gave him a clear view to the street (door / curtain open) The street tout backed off a ways.

    Out pops lowlight. Nope did not pay the bastards!

    We split.
