Martinell Sports Bar

[Martinell Bar 17]

I need to elaborate a bit more. My original reply might have been put more diplomatically.

 

Many people take pictures in FLB as do we. Many of the pictures end up posted here or on FB as party or fun evening type photos. As such, many times, there will be some lady in the picture that somebody asks about. If she is a customer, maybe there with her friends or a boyfriend...whatever, I make a point of saying she is a customer, to make it clear she is not working at FLB. It's not that I am trying to avoid guys thinking she works there...it's to avoid misunderstandings of why she is in the bar. In other words, I'm not doing it so much for the guys who ask, I'm doing it for the lady. As you said, maybe she has a boyfriend/sponsor that might get confused about her activities.

 

I understand, but ive never had to say if she is here as a customer are not. No bodys ever asked and i post on 6 other forums/social networks. Its just a little for forgein for me, so i guess im best saying whos on the payroll, who is with a boyfriend and who is a guest to the bar when making posts with pictures. (but as you know, girls with a boyfriend 1 week maybe a freelancer the next week visiting the bar with friends after the boyfriend has left pattaya). I guess its a subject with alot of conflict.

 

I have a few staff that do not want thier pictures posted online due to boyfriends/sponsors and i respect that, i'll never post a girls picture up if its against her will.

 

Again thanks for the feedback Martin. I'll try and remember to label each picture and hopefully it'll stop these problems im having :)

I doubt that is necessary. The most I would do is answer directly if asked.

 

Let 's move on from this and just keep posting your fun pics. No problems.

All well and good now. We know the barfine or as you say, "release fee" .

 

Of the girls in your post with the 7 pictures are they FL or do they work there?

 

There were two very pretty ones, one with braces, and one in a white top.

 

No need to disclose names and such just were they passing thru or are they barfineable ladies?

[jacko 8,815]

Ok guys, just to clear up.

 

We have ladies on the payroll and we have alot of freelance ladies that come into the bar also. The payroll ladies will be here everyday and the freelancers come and go as they please. Ladies release fees are 300baht anytime of the day/night and if i customers comes into the bar and buys no drinks, the release fee is 400baht.

 

Would that drink have to be a Lady-drink, as per many other beer bars?

 

I am in no way, falsely advertising these girls and that is not my intention at all and the comment has pissed my off a little to be honest. The freelance girls know that i use the pictures online and most will tag themselves on facebook. Im just posting pictures that i take for the bar, i did not think it would offend so many people.

 

Not sure why you need to be pissed off.... I saw a very pretty girl swinging on your podium/pole. That would surely entice customers to your bar. It is nice to know that she actually doesn't work there, nor is available.

 

How many of you guys have came into the bar to see that these freelancers are not here??? How can i get pictures of them day after day??? Like i said before, they come and go.

 

As far as Cherry Lynne, she has her own website, she does not barfine, she will not let you buy her drinks, she will let you take photos with her, she will not flirt with you, she is promoting her own website. I dont take pictures advertising her as working here, I take pictures because she takes good pictures and plays upto the camera, she is a customer (just a very sexy one). Im friends with her and shes comes in for a chat, a few beers and to play games.

 

Since you allow single girls to come into your bar as customers, would drinks be at regular prices if another male customer were to buy her a drink?

 

If you would like to know who is on payroll and who is freelance, just ask guys. It may take me a day are 2 to answer, but i'll get round to it. I have around 8 other sites to attend to also and when the bar is busy, my time is pushed.

 

How do we distinguish between freelance and customers?

 

I joined the site on Andys recommendation and its seems to have a good member base but i seem to be comming off as a bad guy here. So, i'll tell you what. come into the bar on any night, ask for me, tell me your from pattayatalk and i'll make any brand of beer 50baht between the hours of 8pm and 11pm. I run different promos for different places as everyones after a bargin :) so this will be the pattayatalk promo folks.

That sounds good, and I don't think you are coming off as a bad guy, perhaps a little impatient with those wishing to clarify things. As an Expat who is only allowed out once or twice a week, I tend to plan ahead and like to know what the deal is ahead of time. Beer bars are notorious for having varying rules and regs.

The girl with braces quit her job on soi 7 around a month ago and has been in teh bar everynight since, unfortunity, she's off to singapore for the next 3-4 weeks. A shame shes very pretty and i enjoy playing pool and air hockey with her. The lady in the white dress is on the payroll :)

If you buy a freelance girl a drink, she'll get a lady drink. As our staff do not wear a uniform, the only way to find out who is who, you'll just need to simply ask, do you work here?? are you can always ask me.

I'd prob remember your face, im really bad with names to be honest. Yes, it was really sad what happened with Litar and we still miss her. She'd always take care of me when i was to drunk and play pool with me when i was bored and she was brillant with customers as well.

[Martinell Bar 17]

A few pictures from the last few days. The girl on the pole is a FL who is unfortunity away to singapore for the next 3 weeks.

 

[Martinell Bar 17]

Another one of the Lovely Miss Cherry from gogohop.com. She popped in on her way to walking street, she was sober compared to my 2 staff in the picture as well. Look at the state of them, 5 to many thai singha's.

 

[Funky 87]

Good luck with the bar, I'm not surprised by some of the responses you have had.

 

Most guys go into the bars for the girls, especially if they are planning a trip in advance.

 

You seem to be putting in a fair bit of effort promooting the bar when I'm in Town next I'll pop in.

I was a little shocked, but anyone can ask were whatever girl is from and i'll tell you guys. We do have few freelancers buyt they come and go and of course we have our own ladies as well.

Few pictures from last night. Were all hungover today but were not quitters here, so bring on the beers :)

 

[Grandpollo 366]

I dropped by today but in the daytime. Easy to find but there were only 4 girls there not like in the photos and the proprietors weren't as I planned to say hello. The complex of many similar bars was more or less empty.

Yes, there were 4 girls on this afternoon. 2 start at 6 and another had a day off.

 

Im sorry to hear that you were no greeted, all the girls are told to greet customers as they come into the bar, ask if they would like are drink and when the drink is served, they are supposed to ask if you would like to talk with one of the girls are play one of our games with a girl. This a war im continuely fighting, they do one thing when im here and another when im not.

 

The complex is pretty quite during the daytime, the front bars on second road will have a few customers, thats why we open at 3pm and the front bars open 24/7.

 

Thanks for your feedback :)

There are some nice girls in the complex. Like you said not in the daytime though. Not many beer bars anywhere have many girls during the daytime.

[Martinell Bar 17]

Had an old friend on last night, we used to always stay at the same hotel and always seemed to came at the same time. Many hours chilling at the pool in the afternoon talking with this guy.

Just an add on to my last reply on this. Weve checked the CCTV, thier were 4 girls at the bar on opening cleaning, putting on thier faces and eating food until around 3.45pm. Then 2 of our lovely freelancers showed up (1 is a 9/10 and the other 7/10) The first customers came into the bar at 4.12pm. I guess this is not you as the 2 guys played pool with the girls and stayed until 5.49pm.

 

My guess is that you walked past the bar when the girls were cleaning, eating and looking into the mirror and they did'nt notice you. If you had walked into the bar, you may have got a response. Im sorry if some do not like this reply, but i do need to stand up for the girls when i get a neg feedback from someone that did not come into the bar. I dont need to no what you look like as we only had 2 guys came in just after 4pm and they seemed happy enough to stay for around an hour and a half.

 

I expect more bad feedback from this member, i post on so many forums, social networks and websites, that theres all one. I just guess your our guy on pattayatalk :) Sorry if i come off an an arsehole but the boss checked the CCTV as we do like into complaints, this guy was never in the bar, like i said before, he maybe walked past us but 100% not inside.

You should not expect anything negative (comments) unless the experience is negative. It was before 4 p.m. and yes there were a few bored looking inattentive women, one in a little glass booth, not inviting at all, and I passed by . My intent was to come and say hello to the owners and seeing none and since it was so dull (the whole complex, not your place per se), it was none too stimulating to enter and I hadn't. Too early I guess by far which is a result as much of my travels than anything negative about the locale.

 

To quote Maxwell Smart, "missed it by that much" . I always stop with 9's out of 10's on hand.

 

But as I said the main mission was to say hello to either of you. Reading this, I think I can pass on that as well.
