Yes there is a bar fine. Not sure how much but it varies from anywhere from "4 drinks" - "6 drinks" Mini hotel safety is subjective. If you get the girl from the Fuck Shop, the place they bring you to is quite safe. but then, nothing is guaranted. Dont flash expensive stuff around and you will be fine.
