New club next to Black Jack. Good lay out with plenty of seating. The difference with this bar is they have "models" that barfine for 1,500p. All reports say not worth it as far as the models. I thought that the regular girls were far better looking than the models anyway.

This place is owned by Koreans and is huge. Large go go floor in the middle and tables and conmfortable chairs all the way around with two levels. The waitress' are in cheerleader uniforms and they are hotter than the dancers. I was there at the grand opening and they had their regular dancers, a runway show and an older Filpina doing some sort of performance art. The only problem is the sound system is awful and too loud. The mamasans here are very cool but you will have a tough time talking to management as they speak zero English. I think this place ranks just below Nero's, Blue Nile, BLue Nile Exec. and Misty's.

New info on the "models" 1500p barfine. Just talk to mommy to get the usual 1000p price. I got one for free when she came over for a swim at Kokomoz last week. Then she tried to hustle a lady's drink a few days later.

Bigballs intro'd me to this place and I found a nice model here named Abigail. She was really into the sex and stayed for the evening. I was expecting to pay 1500 but the mamasan only asked for 1000.

One of the models who claimed to be a cherry girl ordered a drink without asking Bigballs and the waitress brought the drink without confirming the order. From my observation, the waitresses will usually confirm. He told the waitress to take the drink away because he didn't order it. Good job!

Oh, forgot to mention that I thought the lineup was pretty impressive. Bigballs said it was one of the better clubs in terms of selection and I would probably agree.

In August, this place still had better looking waitress' than dancers. I love the cheerleader outfits the waitress' wear but many of the hotties are cherry girls. They have periods throughout the nite where they have a makeshift runway show where the girls are in dresses and try to flaunt their stuff. There were two girls who I would consider hot that were in the runway. The place was dead when I was there but all of the bars were dead, which is how I like it.

Was there 2 weeks ago. Was dead with a couple hotties-- too bad they were both cherry girls. IMHO kinda lame-- didn't make it back.

Didn't plan on going in because heard the mamasan was a real witch but did anyway to check out the model show. Yes, it's true the girls are not real models but they give it their best and it was entertaining, especialy since some of them were really hot! Some Koreans own it and got this policy when they walk in an anouncement is made and all the staff have to stand up even if with a customer. So second entrance I stood up too and waved, he didn't think it was too funny but I did. Let's see last time I checked the girls were supposed to be there for the customer, not the owner, mamasan, etc.

This bar was just plain BIZARRE. They had a big stage with a decent number of girls on it (though the lineup was pretty bad) but the center of attention was all the teenaged locals flitting about the bar practicing their dance moves for what looked to be some variety show. How old do you have to be to get into a bar in the Philippines? These kids looked to be like 15 years old. The only customers besides our table seemed to be a bunch of Korean guys sitting around with their dates chainsmoking.

This club is an enigma to me. Although after all the years I spent in Korea it really shouldn’t… The place is Korean owned and run and judging by most of the clientele, Korean sponsored as well. Every time I have stepped into this place the Asian to Caucasian ratio is about 7 to 1.

For those that have been around a while you will remember this club before when it was called Golden Gate. Besides the place still being Korean run the only thing the same is the DJ booth is basically in the same place. The rest of the place has been totally transformed. Although the place kind of looks pretty generic to me. Not much design at all went into the place except a bank of 9 TVs on the back wall but these haven’t worked for a long time. There is a large letterbox TV located close to the entrance and by the bar but this is a nuisance mostly. While many bars have TVs in them, this place runs movies most of the time and it is not rare to see half the staff staring at the TV watching that regardless of how many customers are in the place.

A friend of mine went inside here one day and Titanic was on. Of course half the stage of girls (and the damn papasan of the place) was just watching the movie. My friend just walked over to the TV and turned it off. A riot almost broke out! All the dancers on stage were yelling and complaining and the papasan looked as if someone turned off his life support. When his attention was turned to the stage and he saw all his girls not dancing he understood but upon leaving the TV was turned back on before we reached the front door.

There used to be a "model" show in here which was by far the stupidest thing I have ever seen on any stage in any bar in Angeles. All it was were girls walking on stage. That's it!

Sometimes alone, sometimes in pairs, sometimes slow, and sometimes fast. But basically just walking in various stages of dress and finally in a bathing suits. It was so damn boring. And to top it all off the club wanted to charge extra money to barfine these "models"! Most of these girls were working in some other bar the previous week where their barfine was 1000 pesos but now because they can walk on stage at various speeds I need to pay more? I think not!

Speaking of "talent", the talent level in here has dropped significantly. There are still a couple door girl/GRO types that are well worth talking to and spending some “quality time” with but you have to get there early as they are gone pretty fast. The dancers are currently a motley looking crew and I have yet to see one I would consider as a girl friend du jour. A few of the waitresses (all dressed in cheerleader type uniforms) are a little better but again none that struck me as must have.

At least their bell ring is in order. When they first opened it was at a staggering 10,000 pesos! It is now down to 6500 I believe. Still too steep for this place, but at least it is a step in the right direction. Also it seems the model prices as of late are back in order, at least for the white guys. I still have seen this debacle of a "show" on various weekends and the Japanese/Korean crowd thinking they are getting something top shelf and just seem to want to pay more. I just don't get it....

All in all this bar is usually a veto on me and my friends dare-a-bar nights and we don’t go in here but maybe once a month if that. Just not our cup of kimchi.

I agree with everything you said about this place...unfortunately the new direct flight to Clark from Korea has created bars such as this.

This bar is all burnt out now. Does not exist. Went there yesterday and found nothing.

Lol, good riddance!
