I have been avoiding Chicago Club for years; ever since they kicked me out of their establishment after I turned down on buying my 5th beer of the night. My buddy dragged me their last night, a Friday night, and the placed looked like Tuesday afternoon. Only about 15 chicas and 3 customers, 5 including us. While as in HK, they had double the occupancy that the fire code allows.
As difficult as it is to believe, I think Chicago Club, at one time, the premier club in all of TJ, is headed to closing. I don't know how much longer they can hang on with business like this. I talked to the bartender and all he could do was to shrug.
Also, they lowered their prices on drinks. A beer is only $2 now, whereas HK charges $4. I ordered a Tequlla and the guy gave me a double. So for $3, $2 for drink and $1 for tip, I got a double shot of tequilla.
I told the bartender, the way to improved business is not by lowering the drink prices, but to bring in more chicas and more dancers. They only have ONE floor show every half an hour and the music is very old and low in volume. Furthermore, the chicas they have are very old (30s at least) and wear evening gowns. Who is interested in over-dressed old ladies??
The bartender said that the owners says this is a high class establishment, with high end clientel and they don't use chicas to sell. I found this very amusing because I wondered why customers go to the Zona?
This ain't 05 anymore, and middle age Asians with business attires aren't going there much. In fact, all Asians seemed to disappeared all together.
If they don't get their act together and fast, that place is going down!.
