Hi Guys,
I've been to Moscow a few times recently and thought I would pass a few places on.
Club under Hotel Russia near Red Sq. Lap dancing bar with private rooms. Girls okay to good (one called Julia is a babe!), beer is okay pricewise. Tip for dancers is usual R100 (about $3). For anyone not used to Moscow Lap dancing, it's pretty full body contact in most places. No one was pushy and apparently the stmpf will give you a receipt saying "food" if you ask them. Don't knoq whethwe girls did full service, I didn't ask. Can't remember the door fee, probably 500 Roubles. The Hotel Russia is due for demolision soon, this isn't the best club in town, but it was the first one I went to.
Chantels - (or something like that - it's in the tourist literature you pick up in hotels). Again about R500 to get in. mpter you go in you walk through a restaurant and into a bar full of VERY nice girls. They tend to hit on you a bit at first, but once they realise you are there for a bit they calm down. Again drink prices are okay. There is a room for lap dancing which is a good place to relax with a beer and the girls informally come in and dance on a pole or on you! Again customery tip is R100. The girls I talked to seemed to all be Russian, and most speak at least some English. Full service in private rooms out the back varied in price, but the moeny went to the girl not the bar. I paid US$100 for the best fuck I had ever had with a 10/10. You also have to pay for the room (which the bar gets) this also seems to vary but was about $50 I think. I spent the rest of the evening drinking with a girl Reviewom Vladivostok who seemed more than happy to just sit on my lap and chat. Gave me her number, might call her next time I am in town.
Smpari Bar - Another Lap dancing bar with private rooms. Lovely girls who really get as close as they can during the dancing and as usual R100 seems to be a good tip per dance (if only London and the US cost that - and you can't even touch there!). I think 50 or 70 Euros for a private dance, which I did with a girl who spoke fluent English and was a trained social worker. However, if you want full service, it isn't much more money. However, in this bar the scantily clad girls are dancers and don't do sex, the girls in long dresses by the bar do the full business.
Hotel Bars - Like in most places, this is generally the most expensive way to buy sex, at least in the 4 and 5 star places. Haggle hard, they will normally start asking between US$300 and $500. Remember that normally they have to pay a substantial amount to the hotel to work in it.
One a more negative note, there are some expensive and not very good bars in town, more along the lines of US pole dancing places. They are okay by international standards, but you can do much better in Moscow. Also please note that accomodation in Moscow is expensive, in fact everything set up for Westerners is expensive - kinda London prices. There is also a sever shoreforum.xxxe of hotel rooms at times, so book something early.
Cheers,
John.
