I really don’t know why the management of the Kitten Club/Obsessions GoGo continues to employ a few females in what is essentially a quite successful ladyboy boozer, other than pretending they are two separate bars with an imaginary divide.

The bar currently has 8 girls and 35 ladyboys. A few years ago Kitten Club garnered a reputation as a rip-off joint in terms of drinks prices, which were not being displayed, and some punters were stung with outrageous bills.

That has now changed and things seem to have been well and truly cleaned up.

The left part of the stage and the left part of the bar are for girls and for girl oriented customers (real girls dance on the left part of the stage only) and the right part of the stage and the right part of the bar are for LB and LB oriented customers (LB dance on the right part of the stage only).

Waitresses are either girls or LB and obviously are not limited to any part of the bar. Strange but interesting mix. Real girls wear red, lady boys wear black.

From ~5pm

Strictly bikini All-in is now 2000. There are only bikini girls, no nudity of any kind at all (no full nudity seen there for many years).

Afternoon opening resumes The recent police action to close GoGos before 6pm has fizzled out and the bar has resumed opening from 1pm.

Refurbed I stopped by on a weekend evening to take a look at the changes since a refurbishment. The dynamic of the bar is very much the same as before, but the bar does look smarter for a general rework of the fittings.

The major change is to rework the bar counter at the back. The messy DJ area and boss’s cubby hole is now an area reclaimed to the bar. With the bar counter itself looking a lot more attractive.

This back right area seems more for the Scandinavian regulars than for customers dropping by. It does not really command a good view of the stage so is probably best used as a hangout area.

There were 9 dancers in the bar when I visited with 3 on stage at any one time. This was a good ratio which left plenty of girls able to work the bar for lady drinks.

There were 3 quite attractive girls and it was generally a decent line up for the bars in the Sois 13 area. Topless was the majority favoured dress code for the dancers.

There were a decent smattering of customers, and most had a lady by their side (or on their lap). It is probably the least hands-on bar of the local area but the hostessing was working OK anyway. So very much as before, but looks a little nicer.

I stopped by the LK metro GoGo during a weekday Happy Hour. First impressions were good with a sizeable staff ready to guide customers to the plentiful seating around the central stage.

The drinks service was prompt and polite. The square bar has bench seating overlooking the stage which was occupied by 7 dancers.

The dancers were wearing a wide variety of costumes with a black theme. The dress code ranged from overdressed coyote to sheer negligee. There were several decent looking dancers amongst them.

A rather serious flaw started to emerge at the first dancing shift changeover. All the girls trooped off the stage and slowly a replacement crew appeared in bits and drabs. However the new crew was pretty much the same as the previous set. It appears that there were 10 dancers total in the bar and 3 would take a break each shift.

The stage may look full, but this means that there were hardly any girls available for hostess duties. You would have a double shift wait when your drinking partner ‘go dance’.

Inevitably I decided to move on after my drink. But don’t assume that this means that the bar is under the cosh.

There are plenty of GoGos on Soi LK Metro that are also ‘one drink and move on’ venues, so there is a steady stream of vaguely disappointed customers arriving after departing from these other bars.
