Mandarin (rating : none)

Latest : We avoid going to Mandarin for the time being. Prices have shut up (since November 2006) higher than at other bars, with not really a lot to show for it.

This bar is at the old location of Paradiso bar, on the second floor, right in front after you exit the escalator. However it is an all together new bar. Obviously the same people who designed Baccara have been at work here. This could be called a 'designer' bar, quite different from the classic configuration, where you just have a central dancing stage with seating around it.
When you enter the bar, you first have to climb some stairs to enter the first level. There on the right you will find a square dancing stage, with ample seating around. Some designer, rather peculiar barstools are present. They are rectangular, positioned perpendicular to the stage, and resting on two legs. There is room for two people to sit on them, but most are only occupied by one person, who is obviously protected from other people bumping into him, as is the case in most other bars. Most interesting, the seat has an heart shaped opening in the middle. This will be most welcomed by people with hemorrhoids or some other anal inconvenience and allows for free air flow.
But I should mention the most interesting part of the whole scene. There is another level of the bar, which can be reached by some more stairs. [the latest time we visited the second level was closed though] On that level, also ample seating is provided. The ceiling in between the two levels is made of glass and thus completely transparent. So below you get a view from below of the girls dancing on top. As in Baccara, this will allow for interesting observations, once the girls start discarting their underwear.
At present dancing is relatively modest. Girls wear a rather transparent bikini outfit, with some kind of veil covering their buttocks. In between dancing rounds, they wear some Chinese satin outfit.
