I walked in on a Sunday night, theres no cover here and its a bar you'd expect to see in a gangster movie... maybe 30 girls were there with 5 or 6 guys courting them.
I went to the bar and ordered a Cuba Libre and the bartender told me that'd be 20 euros. I chatted up a very attractive woman from Valencia for a bit, and she told me it was slow there because Sundays are slow, and she said she'd be happy to accompany me to my hotel for 700 euros. I'm not sure where she came up with 700, but with that start point I wasn't even going to try to ballpark her down to my range...
