| - Oh dear merciful yeesus. I came here as quite the skeptic and my instincts (and faith in the Yelp reviews,) were correct. An earlier review said that there were ladies free passes, so fine I'll go.
We knew it was going to be a crapshoot on how fun Bare was, but I was willing to finally check out a European pool. Since we were not planning on spending the cash that it would take to get a cabana or lounge chair, we figured there would at least be a seat at the bar. If there were seats at the bar.
We did not run into anyone with the free passes, so we paid the cover charges and prepared to head in. But wait. The first thing we were instructed to do was to get rid of our e-cigarettes, as they are not allowed in Bare.
My husband had to go back to the security desk at Mirage's pool, where they were willing to stash them. Now, I know there is a lot of hype about e-ciggys, but I found this to be a pain in the ass, seeing as though you could purchase an insanely priced pack of regular smokes and have at.
This joint is SMALL for those who are not willing to purchase a seat/cabana. The majority of the space is for those who do buy lounging areas. So, we had our pick of a spot in the TINY LITTLE POOL in the middle of the place.
It did not take long for the pool to fill up and I waited for the murky waters to form. The crowd was evenly men and women, all ages and not all of the women chose to go topless, myself included. So in that respect, I did not feel uncomfortable.
However, the service SUCKS. I asked a guy about lounge chair pricing and he instructed me to "talk to that dude over there" in a nice f*ck off tone. I did not bother searching for said "guy" and returned to my shallow end of the pool.
The day was uneventful and uncomfortable. Everyone was having a good time, but the pool was so small and way too crowded to enjoy myself. After about an hour and a half, we took off.
I would have to say that my favorite part of Bare was when we were walking down the exit ramp. One of the bouncers was coming out with us and had a plastic cup in his hand, that he was carrying carefully. I asked him what he was doing and he said "okay, don't tell anyone because I am supposed to be this big, tough bouncer, but there was a bee in the pool area. It's a honeybee and I don't want it to get squashed so I'm letting it out in the bushes." Right on. Lol.
We could have returned with our bracelets, but once was enough for me. As a final kick in the tail on our way out, we ran into the person giving out free ladies' passes. Fml.
