I’m sad to report that Shooterz Bar has been closed and the staff has moved to Body Shop.  Really a shame because it was a fun bar.  Just another casualty of AC’s “low season”.  Great time to be in town if you’re a customer though.  The girls are hungry!

There really hasn’t been much new information about the Casi Cielo raid and closure last week.  The story remains the same about what went down and not much is known about the location or disposition of the girls or the owners.

While it is not known to be fact, wide reporting from some of the locals have been along the same lines.  Aside from Casi Cielo’s super-zealous online advertising campaign, the general consensus seems to be that they had employed a few girls of questionable age and/or without the proper IDs or licenses.

If that is true, then it’s inexcusable and they need to be held accountable.  The law is the law, and it clearly states the age a girl must be to work in a bar.

However, if it is not true and this was just the result of some “personal beef” a former employee or wanker from the boards had with the owner, then it is a pity.   If nothing else,  Casi Cielo did live up to one of its self-proclaimed slogans during their short but exuberant existence:  “Casi Cielo, the most talked about bar in town!”

Casi Cielo, still closed…

Reports are still coming in, but we now know that Casi Cielo Bar on Raymond Street was raided by what appears to have been the NBI.   They pulled up in SUVs wearing plain clothes and carted off a bunch of the girls and a large stuffed teddy bear.  It was also noted that the bar’s website is now DOWN, and all of the photos they posted on PIatNight.com have been removed.

I’m sure there is a lot more to this story, but early indication suggest it may have been an issue involving suspicion of under-aged girls being employed there and/or girls without all of the required papers and licenses.  It is also getting closer to election time, so someone high up somewhere might be needing extra cash.

Another report from the “bamboo telegraph” suggested that this occurred due to a few former Casi Cielo employees wanting to make trouble for the bar.

That is all of the initial info I have for now, I’ll post more when get it.

Reporting is a little sketchy, but it was posted on PIatNight.com that a possible police “raid” occurred at Honey-Ko’s Bar on Perimeter yesterday afternoon.  Now, the definition of a “raid” when speaking in terms of Angeles City Bars varies greatly.

It could have been something as simple as the cops doing routine ID checks on the bar employees.  As of the time of this post, there was still a sign on the outside of Honey-Ko’s that read “Temporarily Closed”.

These types of things happen all the time in AC, although not as often on Perimeter as they do on Fields.  It’s really just “business as usual” and I’m sure the  owner(s) will get it sorted out (read: pay out whatever amount of $$$ they need to)    Hope they do it soon too, because Honey-Ko’s is one of the better bars in town.  Really a must-stop for any Perimeter Road barhop.
