Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at bars?

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
