Marilyn has been in business 21 years, and if you happen to meet any expatriate blokes who say they're never heard of the place let alone been there, then the chances are they are not being completely candid. Alcoholic beverages start at 1 200 HUF for a bottled Soproni beer, which is steeper than the average pub, but if you are prepared to pay a 1 000 HUF per minute for a private dance, that seems like comparatively small beer. Not long ago Marilyn's was refurbished and redecorated, just in time to prevent it all from feeling a bit tired. Well hey, you try working that pole for 21 years and not becoming jaded.
