of these types of bars in montreal, everything from "pick-up" joints, where you tip the bartender and he sets you up with visitors, to full service strip bars.  I have never heard of one in DC, and I would think that would be a big problem, licenses have been lost for much less offences.

Dc is not the best place. Was at the Mandarin bar after a long evening and was approached by a knockout, mid twenties, extremely well dressed 5-11 36-24-34 . Bought her a few drinks and talked for  half hour until the evening ended when she asked my room number and  I told her I was a local. She got pissy at me saying I was wasting her time and should have told her earlier. I told her she needed to work on her speech to find out sooner. I had to know what the going rate was and she told me $800-1200 depending on how she feels. I laughed out loud and then she walked off to go over to some Japanese men.

Had fun at a few SF hotel bars and of course any and all european bars and excellent spots.

but mostly on a personal level. I have a thing where I buy a man I find attractive a drink, and kinda do the european nod across the bar to him. It works in picking up guys and it is kinda safe because no matter what, I can jsut say "Hey, I just wanted to buy you a drink. No strings attached." Personally, I don't know if I could ever do it as a provider... I am a little to shy for that

I have heard of it but never actually met anyone who did it here in the DC-Balt area. I travel to Europe a few times a year where this is a much more acceptable approach and happens frequently to well dressed men in hotel bars. Of course, the concierge or valet at some hotels, particularly the 3 and 4 star "businessman hotels" can be very helpfull in arranging meetings with clean, reputable women.
