Few DMs asking about other bars we visited in this trip, so summary below. Statutory warning still valid and applies !
Day 2
Kishore, Bhoir, RM, Race, Kings, Kapal, Ramesh
Day 3
Mayur, Rasna, Race, Starcity, Starnight
Day 4
Mayur, RM, Laila, Sai Darbar, Ramesh
Kishore - Kurukshetra of bars ! Battle was fought, philosophical discourses made, life lessons taught , all in the background of discarded tissues on floor!!
Still a pargana of bengal, probably portrait of mamta didi in make-up room, who knows maybe indian foreign affairs for Bangladesh having a small office in the back to process visa enquiries, bengali medium school...
Still has continuous feeder of new girls, who from a simple rural girl transform to a kishor professional faster than a larvae metaphors, overseen by mama-sans like anita, preeti, rani etc. on kishorifcation of new girl
Still MK finds those hidden larvaes (just on newness, not looks !!) and moulds them to butterflies..Managed to sit with a newbie with botoxified reardom. Plump..
Still has Past prime ones loitering near toilets (or whatever those two are for pissing), to catch an unsuspecting drunk to spleen some boni, outside tables filled with bored and anxious painted gieshas, once you give more than the going rate, next time force sit and mark the territory..
Still has Waiters, maybe from Udupi veg restaurant background, so fast in table service and expect similar fast drink and exit from you, else, half raised hand for another bottle every 5 min, never miss an opportunity to get double boni during shift change, always in harrassed state, and harrass customers as well..
Still patronised by white shirt local councillors, expecting reverence from everyone, 50+ like me seeking corner tables to relive the past and relieve , haggle on everything, teach newbies on how to be shameless...
Still the same stuffy, smoky, unhygienic, customer unfriendly, health hazardous place..
Still a FUN place.
Funometer - 7
My personal opinion is that any newcomer to bar scene must get baptised here atleast once !!
Bhoir - Avoid. But don't avoid the vada pav stall behind the bar or on the oppoaite lane. Over the years, like many other items, size has gone small and price have gone up, but still tastes good, a quick fix place for late evening, pre dinner peckishness..
RM -not much changed in a day, except on day 2, kaju kismis were added to snack pack, black coat acknowledging our spending has reached kaju level?!! Thats
Usual routine followed, call DJ, request song, select some girl, watch the dance along with her on the mirror, get a fake surprise expression from her when you join, spend 1k on song and for next one, get pulled by herself to the floor.. business as usual.. I think there are 4 types here.. leaders, aspirants, laggards and scanners. girls from previous night spend quota, stand in first row as leaders, girls who recognise you from previous visits or want to grab a share as aspirants, those who are like what's the point of spending the energy, take me up and get the deed done and those who continuosly move around to catch the bakhra of the day.. i switch between aspirant and scanners and invariably the next day they are on the first row ! RM girls by far have the best memory!!
Funometer - 9. Liking this place !!
Race - still an 8 on funometer scale. Unlike other bars, the girls don't come and shake your hands , do they? If they do, atleast you can assume that you have made them dance and look for someone, otherwise in that light setting it was difficult !! In a sea of carrom boards (nitin gadkari must give specification for his roads as most race girls chest.. smooth and flat..), found a green goddess with perfect double speed breakers.. after an hour of bumpy ride, decided to go to Kings.. on the way out met anna and mayur , who suggested Kapal instead..
Decided to stop enroute for short time at Kings. As many have said, it is mostly 'point and collect' place.. even before we settled , black coat hinted that all we need to do is ask ! If dance is a priority, definitely deepika, RM, whitehouse, Race, Kapal are much better places.. Liked one pyt, asked to dance on few songs, no resistance to hold and dance with her, paid 500 per song.. problem was with dj, he asked for 100 per song, then didn't play any song fully..
Speaking of DJs does anyone see similarity of Rasna, RM, Laila DJs? If they are brothers/ related, then they have cornered a very lucrative market !!
Funometer - 4
Reached Kapal around 11. Best floor design I would say if you manage to get centre seats. It is a rectangular compartment with seats on two sides and therefore all girls need to stand facing only one side. Unlike the multi aisled RM or labyrinth that is Race, this compartment structure means mongers can scan all girls without need to move around and more importantly you get lot of free dance shows from other tables !
Girls are definitely of better quality , one girl was making continuous eye contact, looked as if she was on an air jordan and ready to jump anytime !
Called her for a song..
15 songs and closing time at 2ish, she was the last one to leave. More than the girl, DJ wanted to take my number !!
Probably my first time I asked only 1 girl to dance, against usual 4-5. I wouldn't rate her dancing skills as exceptional, but it was the personality and eagerness to please that caught us offguard (too much alcohol didn't help either !). As songs progressed, so was closeness, and when oh baba kiss me played, had a mini vip moment!! If there is a vip room in kapal, wouldn't mind spending sometime there with her !! Unfortunately no marked visuals to explain who it is..
Funometer -9. Purely a personal rating with considerable external factors, alcohol being primary!!
It was quite late to go for dinner, so dragged MK to Ramesh.At that time it was sardined with no place to sit.. after 10 min got a seat and thats all i could remember clearly, with some vagueness of handing money to a tanned , ever smiling cutie on stage.. Looks like i may have been more generous as on last day visited again and got surrounded by bhaajiwalis from nearby junta market who were on night shift at ramesh and whom i seem to have tipped ! Seriously considering maverick way of no drinking or less drinking!!
Have fun guys...On those DMs about entry, sorry friends, I am not the person. In last 1 and 1/2 years, took only 3 for entry. From SB resto, kishor and Mayur..I am very sure I paid more than market rate, so don't ask !! Spa visits has made me lazy to do any, maybe next time will ditch spa and focus on getting a DB girl out of office hours !!
