Just got back; had an excellent time and met some wonderful ladies.

My picks are the following:

Martinis, HOD, Walkabout(Be patient!), LCC, Soph., Mikado. The ST street is also open for business, Rose Bar, Zanzis, DV8 and a new bar called Barbados.

Sharkey disappointing

Manhattan superb, mainly VNs, but expensive $40LT

This should keep everyone happy for now.

I read the above stories about Dormitories. There are a number of setups ranging from wooden or tin 'shacks' ,to little safe houses.

Ensure you trust the driver and that he doesn't take you to a place with underaged girls, because the police and extortionists could have a field day. Care needs to be taken before going to such setups.

Outside most venues, you will find a moto who will offer these type of services. Usually they take a big cut. A $5 ST gets inflated to $15. This is just plain dumb, especially with similar prices along the 'street'
