Hot Rods Bikini Bar Review: Mango Ave, Cebu – by Foreigner & The Chinese
Name : Hot Rods Bikini Bar, Mango Ave Cebu
Location : Mango Avenue, Cebu (right in the middle of the main of the main bar area)
Layout : 4/5 This bar is brand new (Feb 2009) and has just been opened, replacing Black hole bar that was there before. The layout inside is looks good, although it’s fairly bright in there. Decent central stage and lots of peripheral seating. Lots if places to sit comfortably and chat with girls or just observe. You can also run around the bar chasing girls like a rabid dog chasing a pussy (if you wanted to). Overall, can’t moan about the layout if this bar.
Price : 4/5 Proper Mango Avenue pricing. Mango is definitely “THE” bar area of Cebu – it has the best bars and surprisingly, with a few cheeky exceptions, the best pricing – all the way from a ladies drink to all out bar fine. Great news for everyone DON’T GET GREEDY OI!
Management : Don’t really know enough to comment, no probs when I was in there and more than happy to tolerate some “red horse” induced antics during my last visit!
Girls Looks : 3/5 Some nice lookers – we arrived late and there were still some nice ones in there – I’m sure if you arrived early you’d be in for a pleasant surprise or two.
Attitude : 4/5 no worries – girls were really friendly and funny, management did not hassle big time for drinks, seems better than the bar it replaced before
Fun Factor : 3/5 Good fun, enjoyed chasing girl around the bar on my last visit – can’t actually remember why… Possibly something about English and Vampires?
Overall : 4/5 Recommended better bar in the Mango Strip – as with most bars, be sure to check it out earlyish at least once so you’ll appreciate what you’ve missed when you turn up late next time!
You’ll get some pics when Miss Chinese gets her bum in gear and gets the long promised (fabled?) Photos!
I agree totally. This bar is for sure the nicest and most classy bar in Mango area. Lots of pretty girls and so far i have only good things to say about the place. RECOMENDED!!!!
Well Ive been to Hot Rod once and probably not going back there anymore. I agree that it is a classy place but the policies are really crappy.
First of all you cant touch or even hold a girls hand if you haven’t paid the barfine. I mean no matter how much LD you give her you can only look at her if you have no intention on barfining her, what a crappy policy! and if you don’t look like a big shotor a jap then expect to be snubbed by the mamasans!
I was there last month (Feb 09) and totally agree with Badger. I think it is the worst bar on Mango and I would not go there again. If you are not Korean, Japanese, or a really big spender, they really don’t want you.
This is the nicest bar in Cebu I have been to. I have been in Cebu many times. The girls are very friendly, and you can hold and touch the girls. Maybe Cowboy and bandger were too drunkd. I met the owner nice guy, he said some times owners of other bars put up the bull shit. I am an American and I will keep going there. There are many dumps for badger and Cowboy to go to.
I was recently at Hot Rods and I tell you that this is the best gentlemens bar by far. Aside from the wonderful decore, comfortable, white leather seats and well positioned dance floor the staff were simply outstanding and the atmosphere is electrifying. The ladies were so welcoming that it blew my socks off and the drinks were always cold and prompt and at a great price. Outstanding service from all the waitress and Mamasan was professional and warm as well. I and my friends could not fault this club one bit for it was close to eutopia. If you show your respect and kindness it will be returned tenfold. Thank you Mamasan Josie, Yuki, Wella, Jane and all the ladies for a memorable time in Cebu. Ladies dont forget the fire and feather dance for I will be back. A must see venue when in Cebu. 10/10
Wow, what a Bar. Food was great girls were fun and Mamasan Josie was the friendliest Mamasan I met. Two nice Bars to sit back and watch the action on the stage. There must of been 30 of the prettiest girls in Cebu there. Everthing is new and clean, 1st class. I will be back for more fun in July. I just found my new favarate Bar in the world.
not so nice particular with the girls and u will loss ur night life coz i already done there and i experience how they lossed mu nytelife.
its a nice felling to meet a guest from many countries….specially when i meet mark phillips from england….we been friends since i started to work in hot rod,,,then a couple of months ago..he cort me….an electrifying fellings i felt in that time,,,coz he treated me as a person….but sad to say,,,he passed away,,,,mark..thanks for admiring me…..as what you sain that for you i am the best dancer in this planet,,,,n im so proud to say this,,,hot rod bar is the best bar in cebu…the place era clean and the girls are friendly….if you guys want to experience enjoyment and full entertament…come n visit hot rod bar,,,the best
Really RECOMMENDET)))) Very frendly personal. Very nice bar, but not meny guest inside. I found one very preaty girl for my self.
Hot rods was a real disappointment. the girls were basically retreads. The prices are rediculously expensive. To much pressure to buy ladie drinks if you say more than a hello to a girl. food prices very high and not good food either. My opinion.
,,,i been there in hotrod many times,,for me it is a place where you can relax and enjoy,,,the girls are so gorgeous and so talanted,,,,,they are very friendly and very approachable,,,i like the mama san to much which is mommy jocy,,and her partner papa san john,,,they were the best papa n mama san i’ve ever meet…they are also funny,,,,i met my girl there,,,for me shes a type of girl who loves to make jokes,,,i always see her happy..she smiles a lot,,i like her so much because she knows how to make me laugh,,,,,,,i have talk to other girls too,,,,and i just found out about there problems in the bar,,,
they get pennalty,,,,and i haved noticed too that they are suuffering from that said pennalty,,,why? ,,,they tell me that they dont have a good salary from the bar,,,how come the policy for them is not wotrhful…why is it that said mommy gina never cares and never give a chance to the girls who work in a bar,,,why is it she instantly give pennalty,…why is it no night off,,,the girls worked 7 days a week…and if they will be absenting,,they will have pennalty too?,,,,,,,,,,give some mercy,,they worked because they want to earn money for there family…have mercy to them,,,,,,,they are not desserved to be treated like that,,,they are the one who earns income to the bar,,,they should be treated an important people…….
but still i loved to hang on in hotrod bar,,,for me they are the best bar ever,,,,more power to all the girls and to all the staff,,god bless and please give VALUE TO THE GIRLS WHO WORKS WITH YOU AND FOR SURE THE GIRLS WILL REPAY YOU GOOD TOO…THANK YOU
JOHNNY

I have now read many reviews on Hotrods. Ufortunately I wasn’t able to go there because it wasn’t opened yet during Sinulog09. I have had many good times in Black Hole and in Asian Flower so I’m willing to give Hotrod’s a try. I will return in July, so if anyone wants to have a cold beer let me know here and I will send my YM. I’m looking forward to checking out Stripes and Hot Rods.

Interesting comments above; it’s great how we all have such different views. Can you imagine a world where we all agreed? How boring
Hot Rod is so similar to Temptations in decor and day to day running. Remember it is the same owner. Its a long way removed from the original Black Hole that stood on the site many year ago (before Martin)
It is one of those ‘hit or miss’ bars. Sometimes great, sometimes boring. It’s mostly slotted in to somewhere on my rounds
Hot Rods is kind of a snooty bar IMO. My crew went in there and in front of us the doorman wouldn’t let another guy in because he was wearing a tank top. Once we got in, the girls just weren’t very interested in us despite there being no other customers. This was the only bar I’ve ever had a bargirl say she didn’t want a ladies drink from me. One of the waitresses there told us a lot of the girls preferred Asians for their money. No worries…we took our pesos elsewhere. Had they given us a try, they would have found our little group isn’t cheap and spends a lot. Doubt I’ll ever go back here.
Oh yeah, I saw the guy in the tank top later that night at Lone Star buying 7 or 8 girls drinks and I think he barfined two of them. Hot Rods missed out on about 10,000 pesos from that guy and at least double that from us. Stupid bar.
i guess i’m going to try to visit this place when i got home…see yah soon>>>>>>
this bar is so nice,but the bad thing is they have too many rules there.there girls are pretty good dancers and the mamasan and papa san are so nice theyre funny.i like waitresses they’re damn beautiful specially the waitress in the door she’s hot and gorgeous,she had the sweetest smile ever.the management should at least change some of there policies to let the waitress sit for a while in the costumer and to have some drinks.coz not all the costumers like dancers.
i agree that the hot rods is a nice and wonderful place not only the place but also the girls there are friendly thats why i dont want to workl in other bar cuz i used to be there because of the attide of the girls there.the girls there are friendly,funny not boring to be with and beautiful…..so what are you waiting for come and visit tonight!
oh!mr.PIMonger,i think you feel bad in hotrod,cause you say alot not good comment in hotrod,well all i can say to you about this bar is nice big clean but the things is the movement of the few girls in side are not to good,cause they look dragon when you already inside lol!opps! but not all girls there are look dragon,cause i see one girl there are look nice and good dancer. and i think she is so shy to come to me,cause she see all ready that many girls set beside me.well soon i will be back there to see and to talk that girl.hope girl number 1 you still there in hotrod when i back to cebu,t.c.
MMMMMM,,WELL I AGREE,,,THE BAR IS ABSOLUTELY NICE AND CLEAN,,,THE girls the mama san n papa san are verry nice too,,,as were as the waitresses,,,
the thing is they should change a bit of there policies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,common…….be nice,,,,,why are you so strict,,,,? i came there but i see few girls girls sround,,,maybe thats the reason why you dont have many guest,,,,,but still i love to to hotrod bar,,,,i love number 12…she so funny….,good dancer,,,,,,,..she had a sence of humor,,,and very good in english,,,you will love her,,,,,,,,see you soon
Just curious what the pricing structure is. Nobody has posted.
Thanks
,,,,now hotrod bar is quite boring,,,few girls ate there,,i saw there manager,,,she looks so bad,,her face is evil,,,she is not friendly to the girls,,,i dont know why she act like that,,,,but girls there are ok…but there are some not,,,.you have to change and improve your policies
hot rod is nice,clean,and girls there are friendly…..i like it….but the problem is,,many policy….many penalties,,,they fired some girls,,bullshit…
and also the mama san(mam gina)looks like evil….hahha..funny..maybe she have a lot of money…cause many penalties,,and maybe,,she keep it(earn money from penalties)the girls are very pity!..pls stop it!
hey girls im comeing this august 2009 and hope to introduce my son and his friend to some happy times see you all there on the night of the 16 okay,, havent been before but by what ive read it certainly shakes up
Well Well, so many new comments here finally. We had a great time there in July. Tell John I said hello. See you at Xmas snd leave more comments.
For CebuNewbie!
The average price is 1700pesos barfine. Some are a bit higher, 2500pesos and the really high priced places are usually where the Korean’s go, buts worth a look and a beer, but if they have an entrance fee I wouldn’t bother. Beer is about 100pesos($2usd) and ladies drinks range from 150-250pesos. HAVE FUN !
hi!every one who give comment to hotrod,thanks alot 4 being a nice and interesting our performance and specially those who give a wonderfull comments in hotrod club..thanks everyone and god bless…your performer girl number 1..
The crew that run this place are great, they are friendly and approachable. The girls are indifferent at the moment (whats this lollipop thing all about). Some are attractive and some are less pleasing to the eye. Last few times I have been in here the place has been very slow but then at least you get the choice of the crop. I would still stick it on my rounds.
i don’t like this bar the managers are bullshit,especially gina in club temptation.she don’t even know how to speak proper english,all she know is to give penalties to the dancers and to all the staff..they only entertain you if they can see that you’re a good spender and if not they just ignore you (how stupid!!!)why don’t you tell the owner to build a church than to own a bar if you don’t know how to manage..the costumers can’t even touch the girls or just hold their hands if youll not barfine them even if you gave many drinks,coz their afraid of the bartender who they follow (what does he know anyways,he’s old and he should not be working in a bar an old bartender who don’t even know how to talk,he just keep on eating his bread that he sells,dirty old man you’d rather build a bakeshop!!!) I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS BAR,THIS IS BULLSHIT…TRY TO VISIT ONCE AND IM SURE YOULL NOT COME BACK!!!!
yeah i think jeff is right ive been there twice and still the same this bar is not good yes the place are nice but the people inside are not especially the managers,if i were the dancers you better work to another bar and im sure you will not have any penalty.
in hotrod is very nice bar and also girl very very nice ””i want to number 29 nice dancer and also i like number 3 very cute//// and beutifull and number 44 big boobs i want but sister is bollshit,,,,,

ooohhhhhhhhhh not an average bar even it was big bar and wide inside girls are sooo boring and not friendly oooooooooooooooohhhhhhh ladies drinks very expensive 300php girls not entertaining… we will not go back again…
there are many beautiful girls.hot rod is very clean.girls are very kind and funny.
i think hot rod is the best bar i have ever been to.
mama san is very good person.
but girls who get a little salary is very sad.
i want to go there again.
Hi. Great advice here for my up and coming first visit to Cebu City. I am just wondering what time do most of the bars open on Mango ave please?
reveied all the posts from the staff who work there and promote the place to the competitors who are rubbishing it.
Then there are a few posts from genuine visitors which make sense.
This bar is up for sale probably because it just is not working
Hot Rod is the place to be …. not only is the mamasan josie the lady with cebu’s best ass and friendliest smile ..all the girls are so beautiful and approachable ..i just was so happy to be there during my two times vacation in cebu this year …
lovely venus, marie, sexy lexy, joejee and swo many others …. and for all to know: you can find your love there … ivy … she went to the german class for me and we will marry next year … no doubt, we will come and celebrate in hot rod for a night of fun with the girls … and who knows, maybe we bring some to the hotel for this sort of enjoyment, we all ove
kisses to all of them
Hahaha..the bar is what you make of it. If you know how to have fun and liven up the girls and customers like I do, then its really good fun. If the girls ignores me in any bar I will not return, but I have never had the problem in Cebu. I was there in July and will return for Xmas, so the girls better be ready. I will be back at Xmas with two other americans. If you remember I came in there with my young american friend and the girls went crazy over him. It was good fun! I will be there the night after xmas. If any of the girls in Hot Rods Reads this please leave me a message and a email or Ym or cell. CIAO
Hi Sir Ken, this is ann. You remember me? Sorry leave there and most other girls leave. We go other clubs where more fun and customers. I at silver dollar now. Much better
hello,.are you hiring for a dancer?i saw your bar at the tourist channel and i find it very amazing,one of a kind–i just turned 18 and desperate enough to seek for an income to be able to support my needs in school,..im a college student and have been rejected by love–,i have no other way to go to–:-)
i am looking forward hearing from you,i’ll be expecting your response here–
i have beauty and brain to boast –
,..TISAY..
Somebody told me, that it is the same owner than Temptation right now, but i can not confirm this.
But the thing i can confirm is, that they use the same technique to get money out from foreigners…
Yes. it is the same owner as temptation I was told by the manager of viking. Just read about the owner on the temptation ad about the owner. Guess I will stay away. Thanks guys
Tisay, forget the Hot Rods I worked there go to the real hot club, where I work now, Silver Dollar on Jones next to Crown Regancy. See you
