El Gato Negro - Chicago

[Chicago Guy]

I checked this place out on Saturday night and it wasn't THAT bad, not as bad as some people on here make it out to sound. The bar itself is beat up to hell, thats no lie...but the people didn't seem THAT bad. Of course...a couple creepy looking guys, but overall not too bad. Weren't as many girls as I hoped, but there were a couple that were really hot!

I will def check this place out again! Any of you ever go there?

[BrendaQG]

I used to go there every couple of Saturday nights back in 06-07. Last time I went there was, now that I think of it, about 4th or 5th of July last year. After being in NYC I had to soak up some Chicago, and quick.

I'll say this about the place, if you go expecting a bar in which trannyies hang out and nothing more you will not be disappointed.

:-) Had I not had my hands full with Mimi I probably would have gone back there allot more over this last year.

Although most girls there were clearly "working" while there...some were very talkative and cool to hang out with. I'm a social guy in my 20's...so maybe that helped.

[peoriashyguy]

I've been there a few times and I've always enjoyed it. I wish I lived in Chicago. If I did I would probably stop by more often.

They have a website http://www.elgatonegrobar.com

There are some pics of the girls in the bar but I think most of the pics are pretty old.

I definitely recognize some of the girls in those pics. A couple of them were there on Saturday. I think I'm going to start going more often...

its a dump, only the bottom of the barrel even goes there.
Lua is a bitch, the drinks are way over priced, ffor watered down liquor. The music sucks, but they installed a better juke bokx. A disgrace for the caliber of ts in a city like Chicago. I have scored a better location and will be posting soon about a REAL spot with class, its about time Chicago stopped settling for a drug infested dump, where the owner treats her girls like shit, calls us men and takes our money.
That bitch would never see a dime of my money. Wake up people! Being that I'm the kind of girl who won't settle for this type of bullshit, I personally found better!

I have no problem with the place itself being bashed. It is a dump and I don't know too much about the owner. I am surprised that your ripping on the girls that go there. I like the working girls I've met there. They were kind and I enjoyed their company for at least an hour. Now if I wasn't married and had more disposable income I would prefer to go somewhere else. I would probably spend more time with some of the classier ladies on Eros (such as yourself). But unfortunately the ladies on Eros are out of my price range. Its purely an economic choice. I've always found I get a better bang for my buck when I go to El Gato Negro.

[mimiplastique]

be there done that won the crown
was still treated like shit !
coke whores all over the place .
fights
overpriced water down drinks
filthy bathrooms with actual SHIT on the toilet seat

SHIT ON THE SEAT !!!!!!! !



the only day they dress the bar up is for the pageant
and then it goes straight to hell !!!!

[borhino]

I think I mentioned in another thread that I don't think this place is that awful. It's just that in a city this size we should have more choices.

I'm not saying they're haven't been a couple times I didn't feel real comfortable there, but I personally have never seen a fight or anything like that...Some nights they have some knockouts (looks-wise) there, but there have been a couple nights where you wouldn't hook-up an enemy with the girls (well maybe an enemy).

The one thing I have noticed is don't pay for anything with a $20 bill. Twice I've had it happen where I only got change back for a $10. The first time I let it slide because I wasn't sure. The second time I was keeping track and they gave me the correct change after I said something. Again it could be an accident, but happening twice makes me wonder.

All this being said - if there was some place nicer to go, I'd be there with bells on! In a city with this many clubs, bars, watering holes and taverns there has to be some place else to play. But I'm more interested in meeting t-girls, not hanging at a gay dance club (not that there's anything wrong with that) that has a couple t-girls in the club that night.

[BrendaQG]

@Borhino & Vanessa.

I agree with some of what ya'll are saying. Cook County has 9 million people and is a large area. One would think that we would have 4-5 TS centered bars/clubs. The fact that there used to be at least that many say...10 years ago and now there aren't says something.

Vanessa...where else there to go? I would much rather hang at a nice place...but just don't know of such a place.

I see all thee pictures of these parties in NY, and wish we had the same type of thing here in Chicago.

[borhino]

The thing I really don't like about the place is the hostess/waitress/??? pushing girls at you.

I'm a big boy, I know who I'd be interested in chatting with - a couple times she's pushed someone very trashy at me and there was someone else there I was interested in checking out. I try and be a nice guy about it, but when you get seen talking with someone who is strung-out, drunk or desperate (or all three) I end up looking bad to any of the nicer women in the place.

[poleskr]

Hey Vanessa,

I'll definitely be down for a TS party in Chicago. Some place with class. Keep us informed and we'll come out to support you! It's about time someone took charge. You can be Chicago's answer to Allanah Starr!

[borhino]

Do the girls make any money there? Or are they just hanging out between appointments hoping to grab an extra session?

A lot (not all) of the guys in there don't look to have the $200+ to spend - it just seems like an excercise in futility. I'd think some enterprising ladies would get themselves a cheap place nearby and offer quickie $100 handshakes. Drum up some trade - I was just there again recently and it was a bad night.

Who would want to be seen in that pisshole?? I can make more money on Niteflirt in the comfort of my home then deal with that bullshit. Hell no the girls don't make money there. Just looking to" score". Offer a girl a line and watch her become your friend. Drum up some trade?/ What trade? There is nothing enterprising about that place. So sad, thats why we go to Crobar or Boom Boom Room. Maybe Zentra or Funky Budda Lounge. As a ts, I live as a woman. I escort at home, during work hours. When I step out to a club, I wanna drink and dance and meet cute guys. Not be bothered with fat old chasers. To me a ts club is for girls who have to work the streets to pay bills. I go to straight clubs, because I want fun not work. In straight clubs, I don't hear bullshit like does your cock get hard?? Or, I only have $100 on me. Escorting is for Eros, the club is for drinking and dancing, having a good time.

[BrendaQG]

I have to differ with my esteemed collegue.

Yes some of the girls there can and do make money.* I made money there without even really trying.... most of the time. Second of all there is something to be said for being able to size a guy up in a somewhat social setting before doing it with him, inviting him to your place or going to his. At least that way if he knifes you, then, in principle, at least, there will be witnesses who could identify him. Which can make whoring at a bar or club safer for the girls than say craigslist or Eros. Last but not least don't overstate how bad the bar itself is. There are much worse places than that in Chicago. While it is not on par with the really classy clubs here in Chicago. As your common neighborhood bar's go it's above average. (Compare it to a completely random bar in a working class neighborhood.)



*Lua ask you to give for a cut (it cost money to keep the lights on)... to be honest if I were in the similar position to Lua's I would do the same thing. By owning the bar if it gets raided or something the owner catches the most hell. The girls go elsewhere, the bar owner probably goes to prison after loosing hundreds of thousands of dollars in property and income to legal bills. All of that says to me it's fair to ask for a cut.

Dont belive me about what happens to the owner? Read this. (http://www.hungangels.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=34907)

So you mean to tell meLua, owning the only TS club in Chicago, is so broke she charges a cut? Cut for what? I don't get it? Explain this bullshit to me. This is actually a prostitution bar and Lua is a madam?
Somebody should forward this info to the alderman, if you don't mind, let me do the honors! Its bad enough she waters down drinks, the security guard sells cocaine and now she is charging a "cut". A cut of what?

What bar charges girls a fee to keep the lights on?
If that bitch was cleaner and stopped the drug dealing, clean the toilets and hire a dj, she would have enough clients to pay her bills. Shit that bitch can't even afford to pay her own rent, she has to have people living with her to pay her rent. Sad, sad sad! That would be like Allanah or Sunny charging girls a cut, to keep the fuckin lights on! And a cut of what?? Try as you may Brenda to defend her, you are actually making it worse on her, being that I know what really goes on in that place. From what I've seen with my own eyes. And other girls

Oh Mimi I'm sorry, 4 years ago when I would stop in, Cubano, the securty guard was selling. My room mate Diane used to buy from him all the time. Does she still pour cheap liquor into the bottles, and fill the soda guns with Aldi's pop???

[Chicago Guy]

I didn't know drug dealing was going on at that place. Thats enough for me to stay away. The last thing I need in life is to be involved in some sort of drug raid...

Yea
One of the "perks" of that club. on premisis scoring!
And what brenda has said, seems like a prostitution ring too.
What club charges a girl a "cut"??

[BrendaQG]

let's just agree to disagree.

[TsVanessa69]

let's just agree to disagree.So you not gonna tell us how much the cut is??
Or why there is a cut?
I've never paid a cute.
the last time I stopped in was last summer 1 time all year, on a saturday Night, when I had a show on Claks, and at 1 am the place was EMPTY!!!!!! 7 people at best. Never been back.
I used to go in 1998-2002 when there was alot of clients and I wasn;t on the net. But it was not a pretty place then either. Just alot of johns and a good way to make a quick buck. Daymn, you strat something, peak my intrest then walk away. I will call my sources and find out the"cut"

It was actually pretty crowded last weekend. At least 40 or 50 people, 15 or so girls.

Band was actually pretty talented...

[borhino]

I agree the band is pretty good. And there are times when the place is jumping. I don't know anything else about things that have been mentioned here. Nothing like that has happened to me, and if it did, I would leave and not come back.

I also agree with the comment made about a chance to interact - photos and videos are fine, but nothing beats meeting face to face to see if you get along.
