Escape bar, Prague

"... FOR TECHNICAL REASON"

A favourite excuse of airlines too. Could mean anything

Gents, Prague is completely FINISHED for the rent scene.
Escape Bar is closed down.
Temple Club is still open, but nobody goes there. Empty every night.

The clubs may be dying, but surely the escorts section of Planet Romeo must still be well stocked ?

Admittedly, this is not as much fun as visiting somewhere like Club Temple used to be, or even cruising in the old upstairs part of the railway station.

The loss of Escape is no issue for me, as the type of guy they had in there had no appeal at all to me & paying high prices for the "wrong type" of boy just isn't going to happen. Club Temple was more my kind of bar.

I suppose it's the decline of the clubs is just another result of two main changes -Czech lads are free to work anywhere in the EU and the phone apps are taking a lot of the dating business now.

Any personal experiences on "rent" bars in Milan? A friend of mine is headed there. He can see some bars reviewed online as having rent boys present, but assumes that really means it's a scene rather like Telephone Pub in Bangkok. He's after a more dedicated rent boy experience, like the old "host bar" of yore.

Try Alexander gay sauna. Best sauna in Milan with some "Rent" fun!

Unfortunately the "Rent scene" has diclined drastically in Prague (and around the world). I strongly believe this is all due to a stronger economy, boys can travel around Europe, gay apps, online dating, and lifestyle changes etc.

Escape was never my cup of tea. The boys charged way too much. On a few occasions I was told they wanted 4000 Czech Crown. Another asked for 3000 czk. They never asked for any amount under 3000 czk. And the boys there were never my type. Well maybe the odd one. They were all upper class behaviour and their shit don't think.

Now at Club Temple (formerly Pinocchio) the boys were more my type, and asked for 1000 czk, or 1500 czk max. Ok the odd few who may try their luck and ask for 3000czk, but would soon lower their price when nobody showed interest. Well who wouldn't if you see a newbie punter arrived for the first time?

The venue was sold by the previous owner (Joe) and his bar Manager took over the business. I don't know why he did this, as I can't see the business recovering.

If trying Milan ( and many other Suripean saunas etc) be sure to read up on ( get) the required government issued Adult pass ID ( sorry I can’t recall the exact name but you get the idea). From memory it has to be applied for 24 hours before use (?) and there’s a ( yearly?) charge for it.

A real pain in the ass when one decides to perhaps pop in for a quick nosey / some fun somewhere on a whim when travelling in Europe when passing I find :-(

I agree with pretty much all of your findings on the Prague scene. Paying CZK4000 for someone who is not even our kind of boy at Escape is not an attractive deal. Much better to try Club Temple.

Wouldn't it be obvious that the person wanting to go in was middle-aged?

You do not need the membership card for Alexander gay sauna. Friends who have been there said it's one place you can just walk in and pay. But best to fully research before going?

It's nothing to do with proving your age. Lol

Ops. I've just googled about saunas in Milan.

"Milan Gay Saunas

Milan has great choice of gay saunas for those who want a bit of hot and steamy fun.

Take a photo ID that shows your age or expect to buy an ANDDOS club card."
