After seriously going down hill the past few years, Blue Nile Club and Nero’s Forum have been sold.  They are both now owned and operated by the aggressively ambitious Lewis Grand Hotel Group.  Let’s hope the can return these 2 bars to their former glory days as they did with Dirty Duck.  Here are some pics from the other night in Blue Nile:

March 3^rd, 2010

There has been quite a lot of “buzz” surrounding the 3-story bulk of concrete going up across from Kokomoz the past few months, and now it appears that the time for its opening is finally here.  In case you didn’t know, the Lewis Grand Hotel Group acquired the Dirty Duck bar a lil’ while ago, and since then, it has been one of the most rockin’ clubs on Lower Fields by most accounts; quite a resurgence to its past form after a few years of mediocrity.

This new “mega-bar”, named Forbidden City, is also owned by the LGH group, and will be initially staffed by some of the Dirty Duck girls.  There were also rumors circulating that they were “poaching” some of the hotter girls from various Perimeter bars.  That’s just what we need now, a Tupac-and-Biggie style beef between Perimeter and Fields, haha.

Forbidden City appears to be a big, spacious, show-girl type bar (think Club Atlantis), which is expected to feature choreographed “showgirl” dance routines, following the current prevailing trend by the other “mega-bars”.  Aside from the girl-poaching accusations, some have also criticized the use of a “giant Bhudda statue” decorating the bar’s entrance.

Personally, I don’t give a rat’s ass about political or religious correctness in my third world Asian girlie-bars, but I could understand how some would find that a little questionable.   If you have a problem with it, vote with your feet and stay away; leaves more ass for the rest of us uncouth heathens.

There have also been conflicting reports about the bars exact grand opening date, but according to the latest Doghouse Party schedule, they will have their weekly party at Forbidden City this Saturday, March 6^th.  If anyone is in town then, send us the latest on this place so we can spread the word.
