Centerfolds Strip Club?

[Polycarp]

No great loss but does anyone know if Centerfolds has folded?

I walked by tonight but wasn't paying attention. I'll take a look tomorrow. It would be nice if somebody ran it who would offer a decent product for a fair price. In my dreams, at least.

It's still open,but you would hardly know it judging by the lack of people going in and out.

Some time ago they made a lot of announcements for their amateur contests, I think it was Wednesdays. We went there to check it out and they told us there was no contest that night, seems to be a rip-off. The place was empty and I have seen more beautiful girls in many other places in Costa Rica.

I walked by tonight at about 8:30 pm and it wasn't open.

 

[John Jones]

The door was open the other day so we walked in, there was some workers taking stuff apart behind the bar and sthe stage floor looked torn apart. Guess they are closed and remodeling...

They should start by remodelling the chicas that work there. I have long thought that this place,given its location,should be very successful if they would just hire good dancers who can interact with the Gringos. The way to do this is to make sure they make enough money.Unfortunately this ownership,just like the previous ones hasn't figured that out.

 

[Mr. Jay]

Been there 3 times, and I doubt highly if there'll ever be a 4th...

2 of those times were walkin'n'out

3rd time I actually found a tica I wanted to see dance...

Not worth the time, nevermind anything else.

Was operated by the legendary Pat Dunn. That should explain why it has been a disaster ever since.

Same reason it happens to good guys all over the world. They work hard make a few bucks and some low life decides to get some money the easy way. Then it goes bad and a simple robbery turns much worse.

Small service at wife's home planned for Pat Dunn
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

Pat Dunn opened up his new bar in Manta, Ecuador, in December 2003. He said at the time that he wanted to move his assets to that country because he felt it was open and friendly to business the way Costa Rica was when he first came here 25 years ago.

He met his death at the hands of robbers Thursday morning in Ecuador after having avoided such a fatal confrontation while running a number of nightspots in Costa Rica.

Dunn, 68, whose death was reported in a later version of A.M. Costa Rica Friday, will be returned this week from Ecuador, and his wife and daughter plan a small ceremony at their home adjacent to Posada Amón, the business they own in Barrio Amón in north San José. They are not sure when the body will be returned.

Although he no longer had a role in management, Dunn is frequently identified with the Dunn Inn, a 1920s mansion on Avenida 11 at calle 5 that was converted into a hotel in 1989.

More recently he was the operator of Tentaciones night club on Avenida 1 and the operator of the New York Bar and Lucky's Piano Bar on the pedestrian boulevard in the downtown. He had operated the Bar Nashville in San José.

Nearly everyone who has had a few drinks in downtown San José met Dunn because he liked talking to people. He was not judgmental and shared his time with tourists, expats and others with less savory occupations.

"People come to Costa Rica because they are looking for someone, or someone is looking for them," he used to say, according to an acquaintance who dropped a note to this newspaper over the weekend.

Despite his genial personality, Dunn also was very private and would not even talk much about how he nearly lost his life to a gasoline fire at his garage. He suffered severe burns over the right side of his body and spent months recovering.

The bar in Manta, Nashville South, was developed to sell, Dunn said. His daughter, Jennifer

Dunn, said he had sold the establishment but that the buyer failed to follow through. That bar, too, was mostly for expats. Nearby is Eloy Alfaro Air Base, since 1999 a key U.S. installation for anti-drug patrols over the ocean and drug interdiction activities in Colombia and other Latin American countries.

The robbers Thursday were believed after an estimated $1,500 that Dunn kept for operating capital at the bar. He lived at the establishment which is on the Malecón, the principal walkway at the Pacific port town. The cost of bringing Dunn home was unexpected for his daughter and wife, Elvia Jahara Jarquin Tellez. His daughter said the family was having trouble getting together the cost of a casket, some $3,000 and the estimated airline charge of about $2,000. They have been in contact with the Costa Rican Embassy there because Dunn, who came from Texas, had Costa Rican citizenship at the time of his death.

They said that friend who wanted to help them meet these expenses could donate to a Banco de Costa Rica account 937-0010388-8 that is in the name of his wife.

Popular San José bar operator sets sights south
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
U.S. servicemen based in Ecuador on anti-drug missions now have a San José-style gringo bar to enjoy during off hours.

Long-time San José bar and club owner Pat Dunn has just opened up the Nashville South
Pat Dunn Manta Bar & Restaurant in that Ecuadorian city on the Pacific coast.
Nearby is Eloy Alfaro Air Base, since 1999 a key U.S. installation for anti-drug patrols over the ocean and drug interdiction activities in Colombia and other Latin American countries.

The bar’s name is no accident. Dunn used to run the Nashville Bar in San

José. That bar still exists, but Dunn now has cut back his holdings here and is best known as the operator of Lucky’s Piano Bar on the pedestrian boulevard and Dunn Inn. The well-known hotel still bears his name, but Dunn no longer is engaged in management there.

Manta is a sportsfishing location and the second largest commercial port behind Guayaquil. It got its biggest economic boost in 2000 when the U.S. government began to invest upwards of $60 million to prepare the base for anti-drug surveillance and intelligence flights.

Involved with Dunn is San José businessman

New bar has western-like facade
James Slaten. He and Dunn both were there for the Dec. 20 grand opening. "The local government officials have been very supportive and the feedback was very positive," said Slaten. "The Nashville South Manta Bar & Restaurant is also one of the only two bars that have security clearance and authorization from the US military for base personnel to enter."

The city has about 180,000 people, and the new bar-restaurant is on the Malecón, the principal walkway. Despite the 1-degree south latitude, Manta has about the same temperature as San José but with drier weather. The bar even has a Web site.
