Common Questions
Pricing FAQ
What is a 'lady drink'?
A lady drink is a drink you buy for a hostess or PR girl. It's separate from your own drinks and is how the girls earn their income. Always ask the price before ordering.
What is a 'bar fine'?
A bar fine is a fee paid to the bar to take a girl out for the evening. The bar fine goes to the venue; any additional arrangement is between you and the girl.
Are prices negotiable?
Room rates and cover charges are generally fixed. Lady drinks and tips are more flexible. Always confirm prices before ordering to avoid surprises.
What's the minimum spend?
Most KTV and JTV venues have a minimum food and beverage consumption per room per hour. This is separate from room rental. Always ask upfront.
Should I tip?
Tipping is customary but not mandatory. ₱200–₱500 per girl is standard for KTV/JTV. For massage therapists, ₱200–₱500 per session is appreciated.
Are prices higher on weekends?
Yes, most venues charge higher rates on Fridays, Saturdays, and holidays. Some venues also have special event pricing for international DJ nights.
