Rua Pelotas 160, Floresta. Cover 40 c/ 5 cervejas. About 30 gurias. Quoted 300, easily lowered to 200-250. Room 50 hr. www.labarcacafe.com.br

I visited this club on a Wednesday night. I had read on several boards that the quality here was very good and had high expectations. I wasn´t disappointed. This place was well stocked with a lot of very hot garotas. There are 4 or 5 girls that dance for 30 minutes each at poles around the club. This place stacks up well against the higher end Sao Paulo clubs.

The pricing for POA was very good. I paid 70R to get in and that included 4 beers. The house charges 50R to take a girl out or you can session onsite for 50R. I talked to a few garotas to get an idea of the pricing and they were all asking for 200R to 250R short time. This was inline with what the locals seem to be paying according to the local boards. I settled on 23 year old and took her out to my hotel for 1.5 hours. She provided all the services I had neg. in the club including a BBBJ. She asked for 250R, but took my 200R offer right away. This place, at least for now is a must visit when in POA. However, like everywhere in POA Portuguese lang. skills are important. Very little English is spoken anywhere.

Buffer, obrigado for the updates on LB, SK, GA, CC.

As a relatively new club, LB had been underrated. In '08 imho its looks quality was tops in poa. LB & Bokarra (floripa) were 2 of the new high-end clubs that most impressed z last yr.

There's more to poa than GA & CC. My last poa trip of 1 wk extended to 3 wks cuz i was having so much fun at the other places.
