Korean Bar Reports

[QUOTE=Jj6969; 1174517]Last I heard everbody working at Evergreen, which are the bartenders, waiters, waitresses, and managers are going to be fired. The KBG's will probably still work there unless they have a problem with Maya.

But who knows for sure? They always say one thing then do another. [/QUOTE]One of the bartenders confirmed, they all will be gone when the change happens. Not sure about Mori the sushi guy though. A few months ago I overheard Miki telling him some stipulations he would have to follow to stay. Not sure about the girls either, it would be nice to see some leave as the certain ones just have to move on to Kalihi. I know a lot are assuming they will get to stay.

[QUOTE=Member 69; 1174554]Many rumors abound. While most of the workers (bartenders, waiters) will be out of there I also heard that one stipulation miki had for maya was that viet Nancy would stay. I also heard the rumor that Maya wants to clean up the place, meaning no play like what's going on now. Not sure if that means the play girls are out of there, why have Nancy still working as she is the the pimp for the play girls there.

We shall have to see when the takeover is complete. [/QUOTE]Does Maya really think she can clean up a korean bar? Who would spend money where no play is available? LOL! Should be an interesting experiment.

[QUOTE=Member 69;1174558]Chicken alice was working the floor, maybe she is the financial backer.[/QUOTE]Not likely. She is broke. That is why she is still working at that age.

Why is Pharaoh's just now having a "Grand Opening"? Didn't they open late last summer? So here it is some 9 months later and my old brain forgets, but didn't Cindy have a grand opening? I thought maybe Chicken Alice was the new mama and it was her grand opening but then you guys say she stay broke, so what gives? I went in last night but the raffle and prizes seemed like a joke. The food was mediocre and I was never a fan of the "theme" nights. Food is just as good or probably better on a normal night when Yumi or one of the other bartenders cooks. School girl night (which is / was tonight) could be ok for the younger spinners but everyone else just looks dumb. Last night's evening gown thing just looked like girls in really bad prom or bride's maid dresses. I see someone finally used white out and changed all the sign to "lucky" instead of "lacky" drawing.

Lumpia, me and you think the same, 'cause as soon as I seen the flowers outside I instantly thought who died and why is there a funeral wreath here.

M69, you must not have been in Pharaoh since it was still Asia because that is the set-up it has been since the change over and remodeling back in July or August. You are right though as that back area is good for play, but someone is always going in or out of the kitchen and sometime customers use that entrance / exit.

[QUOTE=Uki Eater; 1174578]Got to admit though, its entertaining and its part of the hostess bar excitement. It's the danger of encountering the tricks and tactics these BGs do as well as seeing who is going to approach you at the bar and resisting the urge. Got to love these hostess bars man. Got to love it hehe. Hey, if I didn't give a damn about hostess bars, I would have never gone to these places.

Imagine all these hostess bars were gone. Every single one closed down. I doubt most of you would say: "Its about time these bars closed! Good riddens!" Even if the BGs being ROB here and there, being rude etc. Heh you got to admit, most of us still go.[/QUOTE]got to have the kb's. Much better than the sports bars with the young kids. Without the kb's the old guys won't have a place to hang out.

[QUOTE=Lumpia808; 1174790]Pharaoh: We got there a little after 10pm. They didn't give us any raffle ticket, did you have to ask for it m69? Anyway, other than the free pupus they offered (that we didn't even eat-ate before we got there) , nothing really special or different that night. Mostly the same girls from other nights, and as for the dress up thing I seen some of the girls wear that stupid prom get up on any other random night. Also that grand opening reef at the front door reminded me of those reefs used at funerals. Not sure if it's the glass or the beer but the coors tasted funny last night. Seen something a little rare, a kbg with a tramp stamp. She also had some weird sentence tat on her shoulder.[/QUOTE]I also got there after 10. There was an open chair at the bar so I sat myself down there. After I got my beer they also brought pupus. They said that they gave raffle tickets if you bought a beer but the korean or whatever young guy next to me they gave about 10 tickets while I got 1. I stayed for 2 drawings (they had one every half hour). I wasn't interested in $10 vouchers anyway but it didn't seem fair that the favored guys were getting lots of raffle tickets.

You should have taken my suggestion instead of the usual let the favorite regulars win BS. Don't you understand you need to cater to the NEW customers to attract and get future regulars? Even if your regulars complain they still going come cause they already regulars. The new guys checking out the bar just going think you playing the same ole same ole BS and going someplace else. Eh Maya, check post #6499 before you do your grand opening and remember what kind reviews winner8 and Pharoahs had regarding their raffle. Think outside the box and let us get in the girl's box! LOL

I know only oldies in both places but they give it up on the cheap. Which one do you think is better?

Better ladies (skills, looks)

Better location.

I've never been upstairs at Blue Sea yet but I'm eager to try. I tried to go on a weeknight last week but the lot was full.

Or should I just go to an AMP and get my monies worth. Never been to an AMP yet but a porn site called happy tugs got me curious.

Pm me if you have personal suggestions.

As M69 mentioned earlier there was a raffle for money vouchers on Wednesday at Pharoah, but it started early around 8PM. The catch is the voucher has to be used by the 14th and you can't buy a girls drink. There were some young ones in school girl outfits and it does look better than the evening gown night with the girls running around holding their dresses up. The food was nothing special even though they had BBQ pork chops cooking outside.

[QUOTE=Tsunami69;1175161]I see someone finally used white out and changed all the sign to "lucky" instead of "lacky" drawing.[/QUOTE]Too bad they changed it. That was probably as close to truth in advertising as any bar has come.

Seriously, by now you should have figured out that "Grand Opening" is nothing more than a marketing ritual. I have seen bars go through slow times and change names (with no other material changes) , just so they can have a "Grand Opening". But in the bar and restaurant business, it is standard practice to have a "soft opening" then when you get your 5h!T together, have a "Grand Opening", later.

Went to Spalsh last night. Sat myself at the bar and there was a pretty hot bartender who reminded me of Yura who used to work there. There was a group of guys in the back sitting with mama, and the bartender was on their table dancing. Any info on who she is and if play is available?

[QUOTE=Jj6969;1175092]Does Maya really think she can clean up a korean bar? Who would spend money where no play is available? LOL! Should be an interesting experiment.[/QUOTE]Well Patty mama was able to do it with a small bar that is kind of out of the way. If she can transfer all her clientele and expand it a bit, she should be able to do it.

LOL[/QUOTE]Actually they give the favorites the prizes because they are the ones supposedly spending the money. There is no guarantee that the new customers will spend any money on the girls or at the bar.

You see it all the time, at camelot, patty gives her good customers shirts and other stuff on their anniversary or special occasions. Us guys that don't spend money get jack.

At some bars during their anniversary they bring pupus out for the anniversary, but you will only see the preferred customers getting the special stuff.

That's okay with me as I won't spend much anyway. Guess the mama's know that. They won't think outside the box because they want to cater to the guys who spend the money and would rather give them the good stuff over guys they don't know.
