The grand opening of the Plaza Mumbo was on June 11th and the place was packed with local gringos and Dominicans. It was hard to get to a table with the shoulder to shoulder crowd.
The old carwash Plaza Mumbo has been covered in with a cane roof. The inside area must be close to 30,000 sq. feet. They have 20 or 25 slot machines in one area alone with a pizza restaurant. The bar area is "L" shaped with about 50 feet each arm with a raised dance area above and 3 poles.
They had a live band and between sets the 12 dances went up above the bar and preformed their strip show 3 dancers at a time. They had maybe 40 waitresses, 12 dancers, 10 waiters and as many security men plus 6 or 8 bartenders.
The prices are set very high, (small beer at 90 pesos plus 26% tax) and I'm not sure the locals and Dominicans will support those prices and there aren’t enough tourists around at this time of year. Salida for chicas there is 1500 pesos so I'm told.
Went back last night to see how busy it was. They had a good crowd and with a 12 piece band and the 12 dancers it was entertaining. They didn't have the waitress but they did have 8 to 10 chicas sitting along a rail looking like they were available. I was with a girlfriend so I didn't check them out. It looks to me like it will be a place for us locals to take a chica when you want to dance and have some entertainment.
I know I'll take my guests at the "Field of Dreams Inn" over there to start the night out on the town. But the new Ana Mirian’s bar (old Luz Maria’s) is where we’ll end up at to catch their show; it’s been great but a late starter at 1am. They also have a nice fresh selection (from 10 to 16) of new chicas there with more reasonable drink and salida prices.
