My expreience was very similar with what you mentioned.... took taxi to 2 min away from sanlitun, underground run down ktv, special drinks which cost RMB 160 each, cant pay by credit card, and die die must draw money from near-by atm w bouncer ascort.

Ya, like i say this trick must have been working all the while; u & me not the first and will not be the last. At that time sammyboy forum not even existence lah, and I didn't share it here becoz it's so long ago... until I read your post
Nowadays, it's more common to have PIN# for cash advance using credit cards, even my POSB bank card can withdraw from China ATMs using the same pin#, so their "escort service" will pay off more often.... so beware. Stuff most of your cash in your socks or something if you are trap in such places.
I read there are a few ways u can get out of such situation in earlier posts; e.g. make a phone call to a local friend who is a gong-an (police) or better still, bring a local chinese with you & they'll quarrel. Maybe also see if there's any tourism/consumer association hotline for BJ.
For fun as a lone ranger, try your luck to pick up FL at disco like Banana. Go for a proper KTV if you really want those fun, maybe bro lanchio can share the address of that hotel name which has a KTV. Along 旧鼓楼大街, but I don't know which lane to turn in.
If you're adventurous like me & have the time to spare, just go to any of those massage palor personally instead of ordering room delivery service - then FR here like I did for that piaoliangpaobei website. Someimes it's exciting to uncover things for yourself.
Check the older posts for other possibilities.
Lastly, you are damn right about the comparison with southern china! I just came back from a week of madness in Dong Guang; My bonking life will never be the same again
