Manila - Makati: Shampoo Bar

[lance2546]

Good TR and pics

No LB bars -that I know of- here in Angeles City but for comparrison purposes, bar fines are mostly 1,100 to 1,500 here in AC-and that includes the girls payment for LT (although some may try to pull a runner and leave early.)

San Miguel Light is P50 to 95; regular ladies drinks (rum and coke and gin tonics are favorites) costs from P105 to 150.

Your cash goes a long way here in AC

I've noticed several "Hostos" bars in the Perimiter area. Hostos seem to be gay bars with a few LBs thrown in for good measure. I went to one and the drink pressure was intense, I think I was clipped P250 for a drink for one very persistent LB. The crowd was mixed and appeared to be a mix of gay and straight couples enjoying the singing and light comedy skits.

I stick to the regular bars and contact a couple of trusted, known performing LBs when I get the itch

(bangui @ Jun. 24 2009,12:05) Burgos is a different place - I think they really cater to the japanese/korean/business exec crowd and all the bars keep the bar fines at a level much higher than they should be.  But then again they get a way with it so good on them.

If my memory serves correctly drink prices are about $3 bucks for a guy drink, maybe twice that for girl drinks.

ST/LT prices are not much more than BKK, I would say $25 to $100 (ok, maybe higher than a baht 500 quickie!).  I think the levels here are more negotiable then in BKK, where you can fall back on a market related standard.  However, as always pay for what you get...

BTW, Stogie, not sure if you know my forum name, but I am David, who comes into Guess every month or so with Nong for pool, and hopefully a pool tournament!

Stay well...

Hi David i remember you in Guess a long while back - oct 2008. If i'm right your from Boston way and work in HK? I remember having a pool comp with you, i ended up pairing up with jenny - it was a good night!

In the Philippines I just find it easier to use the Date In Asia website, especially here in Cebu. The first time I tried it the LB was in my room in less than 1 hour. There is a bar in Manila still called Shampoo...all gg's.
