Chequers

[DireStraits]

Has anyone been to Chequers recently? Is it true that you don't get to select the ML anymore? You pay the fee and they send you the next available ML? Sounds a bit strange to me!

[DireStraits]

Just adding to the above... having a randomly chosen or "next in line" ML (or WL) being sent to your room after you've paid the fee - does that happen in any other shop in Sydney??

(I've noticed that Chequers shop roster posted in the Shop Roster section does NOT actually contain a roster of who's working on any given day. It just has their contact details.)

[AHLUNGOR]

No, you can still book your favorite ML! If you know her name or her work no.

But for a walk in customer, you may not have the option. That’s why in many cases, you can give a small tip to the locker keeper or the receptionist for recommendations! Me I always asked if they have any big tits young girl- 有冇後生大波妹呀？

Apologies for asking as I have never been there. I assume that the system is different than saunas in Macau?
Do you just get your king massage ($199/hour) and then you get to enjoy the spas and saunas?
How are the ladies there in general?

they dont do line ups from what i remember.

and you can either go sauna spa first or after your massage or you can do both.

will definitely not be like macao standards though

Thinking of going there today, is there any roster or info on the girls anywhere?

That has already been answered:

Not here, as per previous post.

I've never liked this (new) chequers joint, as all i need is the right girl.

room facilities, sauna etc are all nice-to-haves, but nonessential. maybe some bros care more about the facilities than the girls, i dunno.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[thomasames]

Is that true? thanks for the info

[doyouseewhatisee]

You can always request for a line up .. they all have numbers and will come in one by one and say hello

[Nelly69]

I checked out this place last night wanting to check out the girls, the receptionist said I don't get a choice on the girls and you will get the next available girl. I asked how I do I know if I will like the girl, she responded they are all good...

I walked out... lol

You did the right thing! I’ve experienced the same BS here. But if you know whom you wish to see and firmly but politely request her, they’ll rather make it happen than see you walk…

@DireStraits, any good girls you can recommend?

I am surprise they let customers walk out, its wasn't exactly pumping with punters when I went. I was drinking at the pub next door and didn't see anyone walk in for an hour. If I was management, I would do what the customer wants. Thought it will be like the Macau style Spa. Disappointed...

[switchco]

Has Chequers managed to lift their game yet?

Looking to to go there shortly, are any of the ladies recommended?

The site where the Irish pub and the New Chequers RnT are located on Goulburn Street was once home to the very upmarket Chequers night club and cabaret venue. This was in the 1950s and 1960s and apparently it booked some of the biggest international acts. It was owned by the Wong family who also had other business interests in Chinatown. Whenever I walked past that RnT joint, I was curious as to why the called it “New Chequers”

Very interesting history. Chequers was one of the first places i knew as a youngster that did rnt but have never been. Would walk past as immature high school students pointing and laughing.

On that section of Goulburn Street, next to the other Irish pub on the corner of George Street, there was a strip club and peep show. That’s now been turned into a Chinese gambling den/pokie paradise

Chequers was once Checkers, though those in the know called it Draughts, except for the American GIs who insisted on Chequers, though the Southern boys called it Drafts, it went upmarket for a while and was called Chess, but that didn't quite work as the rules were too complex, so they reached a compromise and called it Check, and that seemed like perfect marketing as it matched perfectly with the Aussie "Mate" (or Maaaaaate to the true blue), but CheckMate caused some copyright problems with a popular brand of condom at the time, so then it became The New Chequers, which went down about as well as The New Seekers, so then it was back to Chequers again.
So now its Chequers again and it's Back to the Future though not back to the Back Gammon, because the Backgammon is a totally different episode in the complex and convoluted history of Sydney's gaming and vice.

Didn't it later become a rock n roll venue and ACDC played there

[aussiegaigin]

It was originally an upmarket night club, but rock bands might have played there. Long before it became a spa. Lots of big name cabaret singers played there, or at the Silver Spade in the old Chevron-Hilton in Potts Point.

Don't forget "Les Girls' as well
We used to have quite a few nightclubs in this town

[Lazor Zap]

AC/DC played there new years eve 1973 with original singer Dave Evans. INXS also played there in the early days of their career

Those facilities are all shared. That can't be good for business in a pandemic.

The other thing I really hate about these "HK sauna" style places is the stupid lockers. It's a logistical nightmare in terms of tipping the girl, and also your phone.... These days everyone does everything on their phones. How you gonna carry your phone around with you when you have to wear their stupid robes that have no pockets? And don't get me started with having to wear their disgusting reused shorts and robes.

[switchco]

if only the walls could talk in this venue over the last 50-60 years they would have a lot to say....

has anyone got an interesting story to share about Chequers?

[Fred Flintstone]

All I can say is what at an ignominious end to such a glamorous and upmarket night club! Being reborn as a filthy rub and tug joint and with the same name but “New” in front. LOL

Walked past a couple of days ago.
Sign on door "Under new management - closed for renovations - Babylon is open"

Walked past a couple of days ago.
Sign on door "Under new management - closed for renovations - Babylon is open"I've been to the old chequers maybe 9-10 years ago before it turned into a women's spa. Massage rooms with big tables for body slides with low ceilings and Thursday - Saturday nights had live music playing above. Was quite an experience. Lounge room used to serve fresh juice and a photo book with numbers to choose.

I didn't go back after the womens spa closed and it reopened.

But prefer Babylon, quite a discreet entrance as well. But they rush you into the massage rooms instead of enjoying the facilities first.

I was in the city the other day and saw that the Chequers has been rebranded as Roma Sauna and Spa with a new Roman look.

Anyone been there recently ?

I remember going to Chequers when I first started punting & how busy it was even midweek back in 2005. Things seemed to go downhill after 2010 then it disappeared & came back recently & now gone again. The pub above it doesn't help business in that spot. I think the pub has been there only a decade or so. Any business that moves in is probably doomed. If I was the pub owners above I'd buy the building below that Chequers was in renovate it & open a giant Nightclub underneath.

[BobGeorge]

Yes I noticed it changed to Roma spa.
I have never been, feel that it would be an expensive waste of time

I was there just before COVID. They offered me a choice of 2 very plain Chinese ML. Very poor quality service. I wonder if the change in name comes with different owners and better girls.

Back in the early 90s was when the cum was pumping lol
