Fenwick
41 Lockhart Road (Basement, East Town Building)
Wan Chai
Phone: 2861-1669
Hours: 5:00pm to Late, Happy Hour 5:00pm to 10:00pm
We headed over to Fenwick which is right close by and is on the southeast corner of Jaffe and Fenwick Road. Actually, the bar/building spans the entire block and you can enter from either the north side on Jaffe Road or the south side from Lockhart Road. It is quite roomy inside with many tables and booths. The dance floor and band play on the south side of the building towards Lockhart Road. The three of us grab a seat at a booth and I order a round of drinks. Be warned, they are not cheap. I can’t say for sure, but I think the ladies get some sort of commission on the drinks there. They don’t work for the bar, but they must make money by bringing people there and getting guys to buy them drinks. I think a round of drinks for both me and the two ladies was close to $160 HKD or $20 US.
After a round of drinks we started making out a little and I also snapped a few pictures of her. She started off the negotiation by asking if I knew the deal and I said I did. She wanted $1000 HKD or $128 US. I could have countered, but I was getting tired again and I wasn’t really that attracted to her to begin with. I probably could have done her, but there was no way I was paying $128 US for Pampanga pussy since I’ve been to Pampanga and I know how much pussy there costs.

This is a picture of the main entrance from Lockhart Road.
It is one of my favorite clubs in Wan Chai along with New Makati. It is also one of the largest clubs in the area. The other cool thing about this bar is that it is busy almost every night, even weeknights. While the other clubs may be dead on weeknights, this place usually still has a good crowd. Highly recommended, but watch out for expensive drink prices.

I couldn’t take it anymore so I said goodbye to the Filipina I was with and headed to Fenwick.
I sat down at the bar at Fenwick and ordered a beer. Before I knew it I was speaking with another Filipina who was a year older than me. I don’t even remember how or why we started talking, but we did. While I bouncing around from club to club it became apparent to me just how it easy it was to strike up a conversation with Asian women. Well I guess I should qualify that. It was mostly Filipina women that I was striking up easy conversations with. I guess the whole “they speak English thing” really helps.
But still, while the Wan Chai clubs are known for having pros and semi pros working out of them, this was a Saturday night. From what I understand, during the weeknights you are not going to find anyone but pros working the Wan Chai clubs. But I would say that the weekends are a different story as all kinds of domestic workers, etc descend on these clubs to kick back and party.
I bought A a drink and not much longer after that she asked me if I wanted to dance. Out on the dance floor she was very seductive and touchy feely. She was practically picking up on me. I was kind of playing the gentleman and being low key about the whole thing, not knowing if she was a working girl or just hanging out and looking for a hookup.
Before I knew it she was grinding up against me and then pulling me closer to her for some small pecks on the lips. After a little while of dancing we retired to some booths located along the west wall of the club. She was a pretty heavy drinker and the drinks were not cheap, which led me to believe that she was earning some sort of income off of them. Maybe they were just expensive. Usually a round of drink for the two of us cost about $80 to $120 HKD or $10 to $15 US. That was a bottle beer for me and a mixed drink for her. Maybe I am stuck on Arizona prices or other Asian city prices though. After all, Hong Kong was just recently labeled the fifth most expensive city in the world to live in.
In the booth our conversation and “get to know you talk” turned into a full on make out session. I was content to take things slowly but she was all over me. She kept telling me how handsome I was while touching the side of my cheek with her hand. And she was the one who actually brought up the idea of going back to my hotel with me. So at this point I was pretty confident I had a freebie on me. Still, I would hardly consider this session completely free. I think she probably downed at LEAST $500 HKD worth of drinks while we were making out in the booth. I guess the old adage is applicable here. You know, the one about paying for sex in one form or another…..

Around 4am we finally decided to head back to the hotel. I was hoping I wasn’t going to have a problem bringing her back and no one stopped us or said anything as we were heading to the elevators. The hotel had a safe and I secured all valuables in there almost as soon as we arrived. There was one scary moment when I had to round up all my 1-4-1 printouts and discreetly place them in a folder before securing them in the safe as well.
I actually don’t remember if we did the separate showers thing. I do remember that the sex was pretty damn good though and that she loved the Vigel, especially while she was riding me. She also performed a good BBBJ so I went to sleep that night pretty damn happy. I had to struggle really hard with myself not to kick her out after the session as that is mostly habit for me. The prospect of getting rid of her in the morning also loomed on my mind, but I could deal with that later I guess.

I have been in Hong Kong for 2 weeks now, and Fenwicks has not dissapointed me yet.
About 70% filipinos, 10% Columbians/Venezuelans, 10% Thais and 10% others.
Price seems round the 1000 > 1500 HK$ for the whole night, although they will try and quote that for short time if not pressed.
All in all, a sure fire place of getting laid.

Fenwick's was my preferred club in Wan Chai. They had the least expensive cover when they charged it ($10-$13 USD), they had the most girls, they had a fair selection of Latinas, and they were busy when other clubs weren't including off nights and late-late.
It might seem silly seeking out Latinas in Hong Kong, but placed side-by-side I couldn't help it. I just prefer Latinas, even though the Colombians and Venezuelans paled in comparison to ones I've found in Costa Rica, Panama, and elsewhere.
The high drink prices for girls is a pain in the ass, though. This club also had a higher percentage of stuck-up girls. The high number of high-rollers and wannabe high-rollers throwing around money didn't help, although this may have been related to me visiting Hong Kong at a very busy time just before a major conference.
I actually had one girl turn away and another walk away when I said hi. I saw one of these girls hanging out with a a guy in a tie and business suit later on. I guess my Tshirt and jeans didn't cut it.
I highly suspected there were at least 2 post-ops here and my Colombian friends confirmed it, though I did not ask them to point the "girls" out. I got along reasonably well with the South Americans.
Hmmm...just realized I didn't pull any Asians at all from Fenwicks. I overpaid 1300 HKD ($169 USD) on a Venezuelan I thought was really hot, and 1000 HKD ($130) each for two Colombians on other nights. I almost went with a few Asians, but I hesitated too long on two of them and didn't like the attitude on one of the Thais. I actually got a Philipina from Fenwicks all the way up to my room, but returned her to the bar when she seemed more interested in cleaning my room than getting busy. She wanted to get busy when I suggested we leave, but she had already killed the mood with her nervous rearrangment of my things.
Wildchild's demographic estimate seems accurate to me. That's about what I saw in October.

Here are pics of the South Americans I did at Fenwick. The selection of Latinas at Fenwicks was lower quality than what you can find by going direct to Colombia, etc... They were also more expensive.

I was interested in these two Koreans, but neither seemed very friendly. I later found their photos on the 141 site.
The photos look similar, but they are definitely different girls with different ads (Fox and Moss). They were probably sisters, one year apart according to their ads. Both ads stated they spoke English and were 800 HKD available by Hotel Reservation.

This is the main club in the area, great selection of girls around the world..Russia, Europe, Brazil, Thailand, China, Malaysia, Phillipines..a little pricey, but its the best selection around..

I still have very fond memories of the Filipina freebie I pulled from Fenwick. Really liked that place a lot. It was also one of the few places in Wan Chai that seemed to be hopping no matter the day of the week. Funny, but I didn't recall seeing any South Americans there, but that was just during my trip.

Fenwick's is the place in my experience in Wan Chai. I never was charged a cover, and the drinks were always reasonable, the service excellent, and the girls outstanding. I tried the p4p route with a few columbianas and one indonesian girl until I met up with a wild and crazy filipina who fell in love with me.
Management is good at Fenwicks, and yes, the girls do get a kickback from the drinks you buy them (no surprise). There is no bar fine, and this place stays open all night long. The bartendresses and waitresses and band are all filipina so I was in heaven. The best part about this bar is that they have a dance floor and everyone can dance if they want to, and believe me, the girls in this bar love to dance. The band playing during the holiday season this year was very good, and the bar was packed almost every single night I went there.
One major difference between Adelitas (in TJ) and Fenwicks is that they don't have a hotel right upstairs. Take a short walk down the same side of the street until you get to Ming Court Hotel and you can rent a room by the hour (75-150 Hkd) or all night (500 hkd).
Fenwicks is an outstanding selection as compared to almost any of the rest of the bars because I paid double at almost any of the other bars for drinks for the girls than I did at Fenwicks. Dreams has a good dance floor downstairs and Laguna's was also full of girls dancing (even on a Monday night).
There is a definite code of conduct in Fenwicks (it is like swimming in a sea of sharks) so don't be afraid to be selective about who you talk to. It is very similar to Adelitas in that you will be hit upon over and over by the girls in the crowd. Pick the one you want and focus your efforts on her. My kind of bar, without a doubt, and I made friends there quite easily, especially with one particular bartendress.

The latina selection at Fenwicks is a poor representation of what you'll find in Central and South America(in looks, attitude, and service), so if you liked them at Fenwicks, you'd really like them down south.
It's Colombians with an "O", by the way. I usually ignore spelling mistakes in reviews, but this particular one almost always seems to be pointed out, so I figured I'd save someone a post.
I hope you got a chance to visit Neptune II Disco.
Did you bring back pictures?

Unfortunately, this place has closed down.

i just heard about this last night. supposedly the owner got involved in the drug trade tied to the south american contingent.
i asked my HK buddy if you can even get in the door at neptune II now but he said it isn't that crowded. not sure where everyone is going. he did mention that the old strawberries place reopened under a new name but he hasn't been in there yet.
By Futbolito on Friday, June 19, 2009 - 02:02 am: Edit |
It is funny how rumors are.....
I talked with the owner last night and he was facing a liquor license renewal delay, and decided to shut it down for business reasons.
A greedy landlord, and the fact that he was told straight up that the authorities want to reduce the amount of working girls in Wan Chai also played a role in his decision.
He moved his most of his staff over to his other bar, Traffic, and there was a noticeable lack of Filipinas (but plenty of south american ones.)
I will take a wild guess and say that maybe the rumor got started when someone heard the new bar name and south american girls used in the same paragraph.
He says that that Fenwicks will re-open but in a new location with new sound and light system.
Neptune is pretty much like it was before, full of Thai hotties...
The entire Wan Chai bar scene is much lighter than it used to be (girls don't seem to even start coming out until 9 PM.)

fenwick is open again, called escape now. interior redone. more room than before. and the ladies look good.
By Wnose on Sunday, December 06, 2009 - 10:43 am: Edit |
Was there for 2 nights just last week: interesting selection. The colombians were there on the first night but gone the next night...to be replaced by a small group of *very* attractive Viets. Lots of guys so if you see something you like, just approach her and get going.
By Stat on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 02:30 am: Edit |
I was in here recently, but didn't arrive until late, like almost 1am. There were still a fair number of attractive ladies around. The Vietnamese looked the best in my opinion. I didn't spot any Latin or other non-asians that I liked.
I ended up with Toy from Saigon. Her opening quote was 2000HKD but I ended up paying her about 1500HKD or $194 US after negotiations. That was still too much, but it was late and I didn't want to risk going home empty-handed.

escape was packed with south americans, i talked with a couple, they were from colombia. and 50% of the SA gals had fake asses. i couldn't believe what i was seeing. i've seen pictures of the colombian gals on CH (never been to colombia) and i don't recall seeing fake asses on them. am i wrong, are these not fake asses ?
didn't see any PI gals that met my standards. a couple viets did. i hung out with a couple different viets and bought some drinks on two different nights. but didn't really get a great vibe and bailed w/o taking them out. i had alot of different things going on this trip and just couldn't pull the trigger for 1500-2000hkd. kept my money for bangkok.

Escape is mentioned in 2013/12 BruceLeeroy in Hong Kong: Wan Chai is Overpriced
quote:Next was Escape, the old Fenwick Bar. I walked in cover free. Unlike the other bars I had been in this trip, this one had blondes available, but none that were better than average looking. After a lap of the place I ordered a San Miguel at the bar. The crappy beer set me back 78 HKD.
The best looking gal was an older Brazilian, probably in her 30s. Her face wasn't the best, but her body made up for it. She looked like she had major attitude. She also had a blond friend that was better looking than the others, but also older and with attitude.
An attractive Asian named Yuka approached and was tempting, but she was also a little strange. When I asked her where she was from, she said Heaven. She looked Korean.
There were quite a few Indian guys in Escape. I noticed that the gals seemed to not like them very much. A couple obnoxious ones kept bugging the blondes, it almost looked like they were going to slap them.
To my surprise, the Brazilian came up later to chat, not really offering her services or asking for a drink. She asked if I wanted to go to Players, an after hours bar, with her and her blond friend. I was tempted, but declined. I couldn't imagine that turning out any other way than me at least paying for overpriced drinks, so I declined. I hadn't heard of Players before that, though, so I was interested in checking it out on my own. The gals left shortly after that. I ordered another beer and surveyed the talent for a while longer. There were attractive gals, but none worth their charging rates.
