Gay Bar --> Entertainment Bar

Not sure if you've heard but a number of Cebu Gay Bars have recently rebranded.  They are now either hosto bars or male entertainment bars.

Godfather in Mandaue (beside Parkmall) is a hosto bar.  Zeus Bar and NaughtyKa! Bar have both rebranded as Male Entertainment Bars.  Also recently, Tarzan Boys would not allow male only visitors, that means males or gays without female company will be allowed inside.

This is a big move on the part of these establishments explicitly stating who their target audience is.  With the emergence of Korean women clientele and the regular local female clients, we are seeing a shift on the male entertainment business.

This leaves Navigator and CheetahBar as all-welcoming entertainment bars.  Will they follow suit?  We will see.

  2. The statement in the 2nd paragraph about Tarzan club is confusing. Can the author please clarify on what you mean?

  3. Yes, I experienced this. Most of the gay bars won't allow straight-acting gays unless they have female companions. I used to go to Tarzan before with my cousin and my friends but I was surprised when they wouldn't allow us to get inside.

    The last bar I went to was Zeus, but was not impressed with the dancers. Yes, they're cute but not all. And I went there alone just to check the scene.

    For straight-acting gay guys or discreet gay guys, it'd be better to go to Mango Avenue than go to these gay bars. They're obviously preferring women clientele now, especially Koreans.
