I was chatting with a few guys over last couple of weeks, and have been mulling over what elements could come together to create a good LB bar.
Do you agree or disagree? Just remember the following:
1. There are no more gogo licences available - gogo licences permit staged dancing.
2. The gogo scene is already well catered for in Bangkok
3. Rents in Nana are HUGE and PAYOFFS considerable to the boys in brown.
So considering these points, how does the following sound and would you go?
Incidentally, I would not be willing to set this up - but if anyone wants to take and run with it, I'd be there on the opening night (and probably a lot more thereafter).
Assuming a location such as the indoor beer bar complex in Suk Soi 1 where there is a short time hotel on the top floor, (by all accounts, they even change the sheets every now and again, which is a huge advantage over Hi Boss !!!). Key advantages to this location are: Discrete, indoor (air con), space available, relatively cheap (important for a new start up bar), near to Nana Plaza for variety.
The bar would be somewhere between the tackiness of a Nana bar and something you would see in a hotel, such as Rivas, CM2 etc. I could imagine on the walls, you would have photo's of the LB models on this and other sites - perhaps showing them in Black and White prints.
The main focus of the bar would be the bar itself - long, plenty of stools and lots of extending tables allowing for group chats around the table but still "at the bar". ie it would look like a Capital "E" Above the bar and set back would be an impromtu stage should it be needed with a huge drop down screen showing either videos or sport events or even fashion TV and LB equivalent (can always live in hope). Only genuine drinks served - no dodgy vodka, Gin etc.
Lots of booths with u-shaped seating surrounding a table along the walls of the bar - plenty of space for a quiet discussion etc etc and all facing toward the bar and stage area.
Ladyboys would be split into teams and dress accordingly. e.g
Greeter - meet the guy as he comes into the bar, ask if he wants to sit at the bar or in one of the horseshoe bits. Take his drink order and offer to go and get a girl to sit with him or to offer advice on different LB's. This role could actually be a LB who is going through Uni and not keen on full on shagging of all and sundry who pay her BF - i.e she can go if she wants or can just work. They would be dressed in something sexy but elegant - perhaps a black mini skirt and cream jacket with high heels and stockings. Capable of speaking couple of languages.
The hostesses - these are the primary BF material in the bar and they are there to ensure the customer has a good time and comes back. They cannot hassle customers and/or solicit drinks. Invariably the guy would ask one of the greeters who he likes and she then brings her over to join him. Of course if the guy is an old hand, he can just invite her over.
They would all wear badges with a name and number on them and there 'uniform' would change every day: for example:
Monday: Cowboy night - tight denim shorts/miniskirt, cowboy shirt, boots and a hat
Tuesday: Doctors and nurses uniform - with underwear on prominent display
Wednesday: Elegant red sexy long dress
Thursday: Leather/Vinyl night
Friday: Schoolgirl night
Saturday: Freestyle (i.e she chooses)
Sunday: black and white miniskirts and boob tubes.
Uniforms would be supplied by the bar and charged to the girl in some way - they have to follow the dress code and effectively pay for it over XX months.
The themes could change - for example in the world cup, theme could change to reflect national football team kits, cunningly tied around their waists and high heels replacing the football boots.
I'd imagine the pricing would be similar to a gogo bar, or slightly cheaper for customer drinks. Lady drinks much cheaper and the LB gets 50% of the drink - the bar gets 50%. No quotas for the girls in terms of Bar fines or drink quota's that just pisses of the punter when the first thing he hears is 'buy me a drink'
Bar fines somewhere around 400 baht.
Member cards available for purchase would offer members discounts on all drinks (incl Lady drinks), a number of 'bottles' depending upon level of membership, VIP invites to special events, reduced Bar fines. Basically its a loyalty package, designed to encourage you to come back. Perhaps including an glass engraved with your name if that kind of things pushes your buttons.
Music would be there but more background - its a bar not a gogo.
Toilets would be nicely done, clean and feature a window above the urinals of course into the changing room for the LB's.
So guys how does this sound? Anything missing? Anything a waste of time? Would you go?
Cheers
