Purple Rain?

[Duddeee]

I too often have cabbies "suggest" Purple Rain, but the only time I visited the place was when I walked there from Chicago Club. I walked with a mongering buddy of mine on a Friday or Saturday night in summer 2006. We walked north on Constitution to the first corner, and then strolled east along a long block of older small residential buildings that parallels Coahuila. This might be a slightly safer nighttime way to get there on foot, since I don't think you pass by any dark alleyways and there's lots of police presence at night (this is a favorite spot of the policia to pull over & shake down motoring tourists).

While not brightly lit, the club had adequate enough light for me to determine that there was only one hot looking chica among the 12 to 15 in the place, Unfortunately she was already having drinks with another monger. So my buddy and I had a couple of reasonably priced premium well drinks (that's what he liked most about the place) and returned to LZ using the same route as when we arrived.

Just about every cab ride I have taken to the Cohillo the cabby tries to sell me on Purple rain. I was in that club about a half dozen years ago and it was dark as hell. You could not really see the girls that well and I was more concerned about getting rolled. Has the placed changed?

Ok Fireballs, you are a "braveheart" ! going where no man dares to go for love . Good post, interesting info about Purple rain, still not worth the more than slight risk unless HK and Adelitas are closed. Thanks

Well I finally did it I walked to Purple Rain yesterday night and lived to tell about it. I was in front of La Tropa yesterday and decided to check out Purple Rain. It's a really short walk about 200 meters, but I guess compared to Articulo 123 it's dangerous because it's dark and deserted, two things always in muggers favor. Since I read about all the dangers on sites like this, I didn't take any chances. I walked in the street right behind the parked cars instead of the sidewalk, because they had too many empty buildings a perfect place for an opportunist bald headed cholo could be lying in wait with knife in hand for his next victim.

I walk in and they were playing Eminem music, the rap song about some girl who likes it from behind, and they also played decent Mexican music like they play in Hong Kong.

I ordered a beer it cost me only $2 dollars, a good deal, although others have reported getting free beer here. They had about 5 or 6 girls sitting in the club in the seforum.xxxe area, where a girl was dancing on seforum.xxxe, taking off her top, and would give you a kiss or good short grind for $ 1 dollar tip. The girls were cute on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say between 6 and 7, from the age of 20 to 30, both big and small tits. They were also a few girls sitting in the bar, a few make eye contact with me, but didn't approach me, which I liked.

Since nobody approached and the bar was kinda dead only 5 or 6 customers. I asked the waiter how it works, and he called over the host this big fat blond girl, who spoke perfect English. She said it's $45 dollars for the house, and whatever you work out between the girl for one hour. I think she suggested $80 to $100 dollars. I asked about a package deal, and she said they start at $125 dollars, for massage, sex, and BJ. She also said they have sex only on the menu for $85 dollars, and asked if I was interested in a girl, or did I want to see the line up, as they had more girls somewhere else. I said I was interested in this girl with big thighs who had that look that she would be a good fuck? But upon closer inspection she was a little old, maybe 30 years, a little old for me. So I told the host no thanks, besides I just did an SG 30 minutes before, and really didn't want to do anything right then. So the Host follows me outside and tells me her final offer. $80 dollars, of full service, massage, sex, and BJ, for 30 minutes, not a bad deal, but I told her maybe next time and left and took that dangerous walk back to the zona, as I was shaking my head over this street being called dangerous, but then they don't call me the 'daredevil' for nothing. lol

Maybe its a dangerous because its very near the border fence. You can see migrants with their plastic bags- watching and waiting. Very nearby is the Tijuana river bed and is a crossing point for border jumpers- am I wrong?

Alright, let me pitch in again, Purple Rain is a somewhat dangerous area and it is not worth it for the risk. Come to think of it, there is no Adelita or Hongkong there ! Lets say Fireballs is wrong on this one ?

From La Tropa go to the end of the block look towards the left and you'll see "Purple Rain" it's within walking distance. I don't think it's dangerous, but it's pretty dark, and you do see a few bums around that might ask you for some money. But I'll say the danger level is three times the danger level of Articulo 123, but only because Articulo 123 is packed with people all hours of the day, and this street isn't.

One of these days I'll make the walk and come back here and write about it, if I'm still alive, but really going to Purple Rain really don't interest me, nor does La Tropa too much.

I ended up at purple rain once due to a taxi scam about the road ahead was closed.
Problem with the spot is the location, nothing else good near by.

Wiltstilt, I did hear the area surrounding the purple rain is a bit dangerous and I would agree, I have seen it once. If one is of the safe type than this is better avoided. I havent seen any bad reports/attacks. Lets open it to the "security panel" and see how this compares to Articulo 123 or other areas ?

The place has a reputation for being "hit and miss" There are a lot of bad guys that hang out in the block surrounding the place. I would not suggest walking there alone at night. Safety in numbers.

I wound up in this dive not long ago and actually found it pretty good. The girls didnt sweat me for most extras, they negociated a bit, the bar was relaxed and the girls were decent. It was no Adelita but it wasnt rushed like that either.

However, when I posted the details of our experience in the guide, some dude went out of his way to caution people that it was dangerous.

I've been to TJ a handful of times in my life, not really my scene, but is this true?
