Saturday tour of Ottawa-Gatineau strip bars

[ExtraTerrestrial 830]

This Saturday it was Barbs where I visited first. The atmosphere was subdued and quiet at 4:00 pm which was what I expected during Christmas holidays. After a little while I noticed a pair of glowing blue lights are moving towards me and I looked up and it was Barb's shining star, the always smiling cerb popular Bridgette and the glowing blue lights were her sky blue shining eyes!!!!!!. A quick hug and kiss as she had to return to her regular customer after her stage dance. But as expected from a very friendly Bridgette it was very nice of her to come over even briefly for a quick hug and kiss. Apart from Bridgette other dancers who I recognize were Sasha (Pretty, soft looking skinned, feminine), Nikki (not brunette Nikki who has been reviewed before but a short haired friendly blonde and likely new to Barbs), Eve, Tia, Brandy (the popular blonde/brown haired pretty young lady), Serenity (small, fair skinned young girl) and a few others. Sorry gents, Jenny and Ariel were not there today. Regretfully no signs of my other favorites like very cute Kitty or very cute Minx (reviewed before) or soft looking fair skinned very pretty brunette Nikki (reviewed before) either today neither was the very fair skinned very cute and friendly Hazel!!. There were about a dozen ladies and same number of customers at 6:00 pm. With Bridgette still in the CR I left to another bar after 6:00 pm.

 

 

While I was driving (I had Pepsi at Barbs only) I decided to stop by Taboo to spend some time in the club with my favorite very pretty Layla who is a young looking (she is 24 though) very cute, very friendly young lady already reviewed in this thread. Did not stay long and left soon after spending the time with Layla was over as they in Taboo usually don't have any dancers on stage (or one dancer per hour or so) on Saturday afternoons)

 

Then I decided on Barefax and decided to check it out. The atmosphere here too was subdued and quiet at 7:00 pm however it didn't take long for the party to start around 8:00 pm as they sent dancer after dancer on stage and people who were coming decided to stay on and buy drinks (way to go lol. A message to all strip bars including Taboo and Playmates). At 9:00 pm the party was in full swing and about two dozens lovely ladies. That said I always pick the best of the best as most readers know so I spent some time first with Daisy in the club (reviewed before. She has a very pretty face however don't expect underwear come off in the CR or even stage lol), and a new young lady I met for the first time by the name of Evelyn (a very pretty 19 year old shy new dancer who started two weeks ago with very soft looking fair feminine skin, beautiful sexy medium size pair of boobs, slender and very friendly and did I say very pretty?), I spent quite some time with her too in the bar. There were a few other attractive ladies there too at Barefax which regretfully I can't recall their names (I only remember a girl named Precious, a very cute young girl with boobs and body full of tattoos). At 11:00 pm it was time to go back home as I ran out of the non-alcoholic drinks I was ordering in that bar (tried just about everything) as well as greens in my wallet even though there were about three dozen dancers at Barefax at that time and full party atmosphere with back to back stage dances. Barefax wins the Gold among the three bars I visited this Saturday and will win over Playmates anytime in terms of quality of dancers.

 

I was approached many times by various dancers in both Barbs and Barefax however my new policy is to spend time with the best of the best only which in my case is the top 10 percent which of course is very subjective. I very politely declined many requests and thanked them sincerely for wanting to spend time with me. Looks and not mileage is what matters to me which explains why I am a strip bar patron only.

I popped into Barb's later in the evening(9ish), and it was still very quiet. I would say it was an even number of girls to guys, possibly even the girls out numbering the guys by a few. Amy, Chantal, Nicole, Jenna, and a few other girls that I missed their names (or forgot).

 

Left at around 10:30, and a couple new guys were in, but still even numbers.

Thanks Hoppinghorny for the review. It appears I was right to leave barbs to Barefax.

 

Barbs likely matches other top strip bars weekdays though it used to have a party like crowded environment even on Saturdays and Sundays when they used to have private booths in the CRs a few years ago (not to mention some recent attitudes on the part of some staff at Barbs though the Saturday gentleman at the bar is very attentive and respectful without any attitude). That said they do have the ability to still attract very attractive dancers matching or even in some cases topping both Pigale and Barefax in that regard.

 

As for open CRs they have had at Barbs since I believe 2009 it appears some dancers have expressed a like for this arrangement and have chosen to work at Barbs for that reason only as they feel more comfortable and safe providing dances when the CRs are open rather than in private booths as in Barefax and Pigale (or Taboo) and that I fully appreciate and respect that there is at least one bar which provides that environment (and I believe NuDen too) for those dancers who only wish to dance and nothing more.

^The Den is a nice hybrid of privacy and openness. The CR downstairs is quite open, with couches separated by tall plants, the booths downstairs are sort of semi-private/semi-open, and then the booths upstairs are fairly private (as long as no one is sitting at the tables nearby, which I find don't get used super often). I've always preferred the upstairs booths at the Den, but overall I prefer Barb's, so fully open space it is for me!

 

Even in the open CR though, unless the club is packed and lots of people are getting dances, it's not unusual to have the entire place to yourself, or to maybe have one or two other couples back there but on the other side of the room. Of course, this is far more likely to happen during the day or a weeknight than on a weekend night!

I have to concur with ET. There is a definite problem with the wait staff at Barbs. On the other hand, both bartenders that I've seen are really friendly.

I've always been treated great by barbs staff...then again its probably because they recognize me lol

 

I hope everyone can be treated great tho...maybe they just had a bad day? if its slow I know they might feel kinda bummed out. I imagine tips are a big part of their net income.

[ExtraTerrestrial 830]

Just to clarify that the small piece in my very positive posts (about all three four bars I visit Saturdays) was not a general statement or even about the wait staff and generally the staff are great (at Barbs too) just an individual or two may have a past issue or two or maybe just my imagination but I feel they can easily improve by reading it if it is indeed even slightly factual. We go there for the ladies not the staff lol. And the ladies are great all the times in all parts as per my posts. I also noticed that we maybe getting a bit off track as the thread is about recommendations of Saturday lovely dancers and best bars to be on that particular weekend day and night.

[Hoppinhorny 1219]

Off topic a bit still... I did mention to some of the staff and girls yesterday that this weekend is an odd one with the Thursday-Friday being a holiday for a major part of the people in this city (government), so it was to be expected to translate to a slow weekend for them...

 

K, back on topic... Girls at Barb's are hotties!

it's dead everywhere. Cash is not like it once was, especially in this city when Nortel staff and JDS staff ( and more ) walking around with high incomes. I popped into Pigs and it was deeeeeeeeead.Prior to Pigs, I was out with friends for dinner and drinks and it was busy where we were....after Pigs, I took a couple dancers and went to Casino and had a blast. Drinks cheaper, entertainment was fun, all in all, drinks, a bit of dancing and gambling....all within a 4-5 hour span.......heck of a cheaper outing than spending the night at the local ballet.

 

I tip beyond well, drink, spend $, buy drinks.....but there comes a time when our local joints need to come down to reality. I went to Montreal with my business partner a couple months back and visited a strip joint ( name escapes me but its well known ) and it felt like throw back 10 years ago. dances at tables for $5 and private dances for $15 and drinks affordable ( again, I tip well so it amounts same as local but its the POINT of not being robbed by the bar )

 

I am treated well because i spend ....but I sense and feel the vast majority who work here are miserable.....I get told this as well. I have my favorites and such, but I can cut the tension with a knife at my regular spots (pigale, barefax and playmate). As tonight, my visit was spontaneous and I didn't know if I was visiting my grandparents at Beechwood cemetary or at Pigales.

 

I visit still because it is a hit and miss for me and I go because I work hard and play hard......I guess I enjoy the excitement of the moment and looking for that.....but more and more I need to ensure and plan to see if my favorite dancers are working and I hate that feeling of going on others time......I want to go on MY TIME, MY MOMENT and that is slowly going away.

Excellent review. Already 350+ views. Keep them coming. Capital Hunter was a prolific and systematic reviewer. Miss his reviews. ET, nicely picks the top reviewer baton from CH and carries it on. Looking forward to your next review, ET.

 

LOL, you realize it's the same person, right? ;)
