Living in an Angeles girl bar — a bar worker on lodging, meals and work hours

In one line
A short interview with Nicole, who works at a girl bar in Angeles, about living at the bar: sleeping quarters, meals, laundry and work hours. Nicole speaks only a little English, so her answers are brief.

💡 Key takeaways

[Lodging]
• The sleeping area has no air conditioning; fans are provided. It is on the second floor, so it gets hotter.
• Beds are double-size bunk beds, two girls per bed.
• About 30 girls currently work at this bar.
• The bathroom (CR) uses a hand pump for water.
• The host says Papa Roy's bar had air conditioning for its girls before the pandemic, but air conditioning is not the norm in girl bar sleeping areas.
• The bar's name is not given in the video.

[Meals & laundry]
• This bar provides three meals a day, and Nicole says she likes the food.
• The host says he has seen bars that feed the girls, but most bars do not, so girls buy meals from their own income.
• A helper comes in to do the laundry.

[Work hours]
• Official working hours are 7 p.m. to 3 a.m.
• If a customer comes in during the day wanting a lady drink or a bar fine, she still has to work, so she is effectively on call all day.

[Drone footage]
• The end has drone footage of Angeles flying from Walking Street toward Fields Avenue (provided by the host's associate Steven Bernett).
