Ponytails, Honeypot, Angry Birds. The owner is a regular (and helpful) poster on this forum. Those bars will be a good starting point but feel free to graduate quickly to anywhere that takes your fancy. You won't have any problems if you behave sensibly.
I have never had a bill padded anywhere, you just need to be aware of the bill you are running up. Some bars keep the bill behind the counter which can be a bad sign and it makes it more difficult for you to keep tabs. Candy, 69, Butterfly and Barbados all do that. Short-changing is more common but if it happens and you point it out immediately, you will be refunded. If you pay with a 50 or 100, point out the number to the girl you give it to, just in case they are tempted to short change you. A bigger problem is getting suckered into buying too many lady drinks. As for honest bargirls....
They will be honest in the sense of not stealing from you. As for honest as in not lying to you, no.

If you want a bar that is less full on, try Larrys on 110.

When I first started travelling to Indonesia parents would approach me excitedly and ask if they could take a picture of me with their kids. After this happened enough times to be weird, I asked one who they thought I was. "Oh, The Rock, Dwayne Johnson!" to which I could only reply "Whu...?"

Actually this good advice doesn't just apply to lady bars - too many friends have paid with a 50 or 100 dollar bill, only to have it substituted for a fake, which the house then points out and threatens to call the cops. So we ALWAYS point out the last three digits on the serial number of the big notes (in a friendly way, of course) to show we're not noobs.

Happens a fair bit if my contacts are anything to go buy. Mind you, you are probably a little more visually intimidating than those I know who've been scammed this way. Apparently it's happening more with $20s nowadays, too.
