Lux is one of the newer bars in town, open for around six months now, I suppose. I visited during their grand opening and one other time before last night. It is actually a very impressive bar, roomy, and possibly the fanciest place in town. The signage around the front door lets you know you are in for something unique.

Several large-screen televisions playing music videos of a genre I’m not really fond of, just a bit too loudly. But then again, I’m an old fucker; you young whippersnappers may enjoy it.

This is a “girly” bar, meaning it has sexy dancers for your viewing entertainment. I understand takeout is available as well.

Even though girly bars aren’t my thing, Lux has taken the concept to a whole new level. It felt like being in a palace as much as being in a tavern. There was just one other customer and me at this early hour, but the dancers were still quite energetic. That’s not the case in many bars.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that during happy hour (until 7 p.m.), there is “buy one, get one pricing.” I didn’t even need a coupon! I understand beers are regularly priced at 90 pesos. That’s in the low range for this type bar.

Bottom line, if you like bars with girls on stage dancing for your entertainment, you definitely want to give Lux a visit. Hell, I’m bound to come back just for that happy hour drink deal!
