Mugs and Jugs is long gone, much like the others you've mentioned. There aren't many remaining now. Vancouver is very unaffordable and unfun now. Unless you bought a place 15 years ago, not many can afford it now
Lotus slowly began going downhill 4-5 years ago. Heard there was a change in ownership which likely has contributed to it. My last good time there was around that time
Tends to be hit/miss in that area. Have not gone to Lotus in years though I hear a good lady tends to surface every now and then but eventually leaves. Also paying to see the lineup was one of the final straws for me along with paying in full up front
It varies depending on the day. If it's fully booked, good luck. If it's not as busy, you have a shot. 2-3 hours notice should usually get you something, but it may not be the girl you want 🤷
