Korean Bar Reports

[QUOTE=Lefty808;3573410]Sujin was the daytime bartender at 904. I heard Hana, Julie, Mimi, Yang Yang (?)(older Chinese lady) are going. Also Craig the daytime barback and Manager is going to be the manager at Vegas. Not sure if others will be going, though I heard others are thinking about it. Sujin has leased about two other bars years ago. Let you know if anything else transpire.[/QUOTE]Heard the same but wondered after 20-30 years there what the bar manager (korean guys with glasses) going. He was like a fixture there.

They have too much bartenders. Mama needs to find more floor girls. Big place like that if there is not enough floor girls. It.

Will not last. As far as you mentioned. Old Chinese lady is 50 plus and Mimi will not do it.

Looks like work is starting to take place in the lot between Evergreen and S&S. Earlier this week I saw a drilling rig on the Kapiolani side, and they started gutting the sex shop building. The other day, I saw they gutted the old Ohana building. Imagine if you took a black light to Suzies and Ohana. That would look like a Jackson Pollock painting. I had lots of good times at Ohana.

I have not gone to town lately. Are they still allow people to go near Evergreen building with work going on? Is Evergreen still open for business?

Is SnS still open?

I have been hang out at Starlite since my honey Fox still in Korea. Don't feel like to drive to town. Nothing good there anyway.

Went to 904 the other night. Very slow. Nina at You and I looks sexy. She has a very nice tall and slim body.

From what I heard. 5 ladies are going.

Work floor at Vegas. Angee, Grace, Jeanne. Mimi. Yang yang. Maybe more which I don't know.

[QUOTE=Lualualei808;3571542]Ashley's address is 706 Sheridan.[/QUOTE]Different landowner (Samsung) for Ashley's / Saigon Palace than the neighboring development (Chinese, I believe). The person is catering to Chinese investors but currently doesn't have the necessary permit (s). I guess an alleged $2 million contribution by developer to the powers-that-be isn't enough. Anything can happen as long as there is an offer that can't be refused; therefore, no lessor / lessee is safe.

As customers, we need to enjoy the cold ones and the good times (while they last). This upheaval along KB / VB / TB row is creating quite a stir, huh? Sandy's may have another operator soon, maybe next month. Bartender Eva from Summit (?) seen at Ashley's; maybe a convert, too?

From what I said before. From Ashley to the laundry shop was sold. You probably was right sold to 2 different buyers. Anyway the Ashley lot is going to go down. Just matter of time. That leave us only 2 KBs Camelot and Splash.

Is SnS still open?[/QUOTE]Yes, they were still open this week; just the lot between them is barricaded.

Julie, Mimi, Hana, and Yang from 904 was there. Donna, Kelly, Grace, Hannah, Jun, Jay, and Angee on the floor. It was just combination of Vegas and 904 ladies. Nothing new.

Sandy's pau Oct 17; new operator Hemhi trying her luck ($2. 50 happy hour domestic beer) thereafter. Don't know who bartending, but not going last too long, IMO. Halloweenie Party at Ashley's; plenty enough goons show up during regular dayshift as it is (with ghouls working the floor).

Haha. Grannies there no need costume. Just show up to work without any makeup, they look horror as it is.

Good news is honey Fox coming back soon. I have a lot of catching up to do with her.

Sandy. It is the strip bar you are talking about? I remember there was a hot stripper name Shasha there. Wonder how she is doing these days?

Be aware of your surrounding now in Kap. Is the KBG ok at EG. The perp going get what he deserves ten fold back what he done. It is the law of the universe. Have fun guys!!

Someone got shot Friday night by one of the bars on Kona street. Heard a girl was mugged for her purse awhile back too. I was in Saigon Passion when there was a gun pulled in a fight awhile back also. It was the bigger side not the Johnny side. My advice is stay away on Fridays and Saturdays when all the kiddies come out who can't hold their alcohol and think fighting is cool. The crowd changes significantly on these nights. During the week is the time to go. Xo, xclusive, and Saigon Passion is where this crowd ventures on the weekend along with lots of people taking dates to the Tipsy Pig which is a nice place and I haven't seen any problems there so far. While these aren't Korean bars they are right next to them so you get to sometimes run into this drama. Be safe.

Kalihi is much safer area to drink in my opinion.

If you can just no get too drunk and as you said be aware of your surroundings. These younger guys they are reactive so just walk away if not go Security Equipment and pick up one ASP just don't get caught with it as it is illegal off your property. Nah just call a cop. Once arrive point the guy out and have him arrested for panhandling.
