Korean Bar Reports

[QUOTE=Honolulu Yobo; 1163604]When I first started to drink in the Korean bars in 1973 (Takeba's) the nekohana's were $3. They escalated to $5 in 1976-78, then to $10 in the early 80's, and went to $20 in the late 80's where they remained, till today.

I still remember making $1. 72 / hr at my part time job in 1973. So, from almost double my hourly pay, the cost of a nekohana has gone down to almost half my hourly pay. Such a bargain for a woman's time, it's cheaper to by a drink now than back then.

Crown shots were $3, beer was $.50, a small bottle of lancers for the hostess was $15, and a large bottle of Lancers was $30.

The hostesses paid the kitchen mama either $10 or $15 for food for all night, and Takeba's was always packed. [/QUOTE]Interesting. And where was Takeba's?

On another note, Chinese Linda from Evergreen who was reportedly seen at Cheers Station in Kalihi was at Evergreen last night. Her hair is chopped to shoulder blade length, and her outfit was 'maternity style' rather than the tight outfits she wore a few years ago so I could not evaluate her figure. She did not have all her makeup on and looked plain. Had several new unfamiliar faces, mid 20's to mid 30's; hot by Evergreen standards but not much to write home about.

Pharoah was the only good place, but it was packed with nowhere to sit and all the girls were taken. As reported, there were some pretty girls there.

Met and sat with Linda at Butterfly; 35, cute but not attractive both at the same time, with decent thighs and small B's. Had way better-looking girls there and one had thick juicy thighs, but she was 'warm and fuzzy' so I sat with her for a bit.

Twilight was slow with 40 and 50+ hostesses and I felt like I was in Kalihi. Sandy's Place had new youngish girls but I didn't stay.

Winner 8 also had a few new average girls and some incumbent girls were absent.

Overall, a boring night until I subsequently ended up at Nirvana for another good experience with Hana.

H M[/QUOTE]It was located on the mauka side at the intersection of S King and S Beretania St. It was between the mini mart and Jiffy Lube; on the Ewa side of the building on the ground floor. It later expanded to the second story where the greek restaurant is now.

Before Takeba's, I think it was called the Green Machine, catering to UH students.

So I checked out First Class on Saturday, meh. Same amount of bg from Monday, just Ashley, Gina, and some others.

We then checked out Pharaoh to check out the new crop. Lots of pretty girls there. Sasha sat with us, looked like a korean Tara Reid. Pretty but her attitude was like she didn't want to be there. She said she works during the day as a tour liason or guide and she was tired, blah. Also met mama Alice, said she used to have a store called Chicken Alice? Reminded me of a korean Rosanne Barr.

D'Amour, had a little fight. Jessie and another bg where going to go at it. Not sure what it was about. The one she was going to beef with is the bg that could speak pretty good english like her. I sat with Yuki, nom nom nom! Didn't hustle drinks or anything. Also what is up with people vomitting in the urinals? I swear some of the customers got to relax with the liquor. All my galavanting days in the past month had vomit in the bathroom. Mama at D'Amour went all crazy with the Lysol last night cleaning the thrones.

[QUOTE=Uki Eater; 1163589]Hostess bars however, are a good way to kick back, chill and kill time. I wish we could kick back and look at the girls at AMPs, talk story with them and then bang them. You know, build up the mood and anticipation first. You can of course when you're in the room with them but, you're limited to that 45-60 min time.

As much as how some or maybe most people think that hostess bars / ladies drinks is spending lots of money, I actually go hostess bars when I'm feeling conservative vs going AMP. You can if you want to.[/QUOTE]Shoots! I forgot all about that. Down in N. Z. The AMPs ARE bars too. Go in have some drinks, check out the "talent" make your choice and then either leave or choose your favorite. If you already know who you want and she is busy well then have a few more beers mate. I liked that setup. A KB / AMP merger, now, that would be the way to go. They could even have colored wrist bands on the girls. Available for hire, not for hire, allows DATY, no FIV, etc. Hmmm what color coding assignments. Brown=Allows Greek. Red=That time of the month. Yellow=Golden Shower. Hmmmm.

On another note, stopped in First Class on Friday. 4 girls about 12 guys. 2 guy bartenders polite and attentive. I'm guessing it'll be closed in less than 6 months (unless there's a sugar daddy involved). Too much overhead, not enough girls.

Another mistake: CAlice's Ward Ave' (near Ala Moana on-ramp) bar was named Midnight, not Twilight.

H M[/QUOTE]The young ones at Sandy's Place are Anna and Lilly. Both used to work at All Star. Strictly eye candy; no play. If Judy gets another place going, they'll probably jump to go work for her.

[QUOTE=Blacks;1163630]Happy to see LE starting to bust video gaming places 5 get arrested this week. Mayor is a no gambling, no alcohol guy. Don't get busted for DUI, be safe. Next the owners of the machines will be wearing them silver cuffs. Fed prison no parole. Fed LE has several reports in there database. From HPD, FBI, DHLS, Com. Dept / interstate transportation violations. Don't get caught playing them when they do the raids![/QUOTE]How some bars are getting busted for those machines is beyond me. They are even claiming they are phone cards now to get around things. I wouldn't expect to see these machines dissappear though as the poker lawa is about to get passed. That will all just be the start for legalizing gambling.

What's popular now are these machines that are flat-out slot machine and keno games. No way to pretend those aren't gambling machines.

What blows me away is that these get situated right out front. Sometimes near the front door. Can only guess that they are trying to make a case against the people who own these things instead of the bar owners who are just hosting them.

That's not the Sasha of former S lounge was it? And which one is Jessie at Damour? Anyone else notice lately that there's been alot of fights among bgirls lately? BTW, hope your 'punchable' body was spared this week, LOL.

Ss[/QUOTE]What about upstairs of Bluesea or Sunshine? LOL, I know they are older but you get a body massage while drinking and decide to partake or not, hehe. Most bar's private rooms are used for that purpose too but I know mean something a little different, hehe. On a trip to China my host asked me to pick the girl or girls I wanted at the bar we were at. 1 picked 2 girls and he smiled saying 'oh. So you like 3somes' not knowing the ones you pick also sleep with you that night. I have a feeling you and Uki mean that kind bar, LOL. Hmmm, got a sudden urge to travel now.

Saw Linda last night (sat night) at evergreen. She looked the same, no belly bulge that she didn't have before. She said that she was visiting a friend in kalihi only. Might have been taking in extra cash by getting a drink or two but no intention of moving to kalihi. Yet.

Some things are going on with some of the closed bars (actually one of them). I can't say anything now but you may be seeing things or hearing things in a week or more. I promised not to say anything until things are finalized.

Wish that Miki at evergreen would get TF out of there already, can't stand her. I was talking with a friend by the fish tank, she comes up and says that we got to move because those seats by the fish tanks are for the girls. My friend and I tanked our drinks and got the heck out of there. She has no respect for the locals, only wants guys who spend money and doesn't give a rip about the locals unless they spend a lot of money there.

I haven't heard of anyone winning money but there are some girls that play every night and loose a lot of money. I guess if no one complains about these machines HPD doesn't do anything about it.

I also heard that someone tried to scam Butterfly by trying to redeem a fake ticket.

[QUOTE=Blade82;1164016]I heard she had a baby not too long ago.[/QUOTE]When I would go to Evergreen awhile back she would always be in the room with this kind of tall lanky guy with glasses and she would stay in the room for a long time without getting more drinks. Then all of a sudden I don't see at Evergreen for the longest time and then she's back again.

Maybe it was him that made her happy.
