the ultimate strip club list

September 7, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 250

I was unimpressed. Stopped by on a Saturday early evening - around 7 or so. About 5 girls in the place - I'd say ranging from a 4 to a 7. I was killing time - so for the next two hours I drank a few beers and watched the scene.

Very minimal number of lap dances given - I did one with the girl I found the most attractive. Mediocre at best.

But, since they do serve alcohol - I would give it another try next time I pass through.

Nice club. The best dancer is Foxxy. She is a 10. It was not very busy when I was there - Sunday night. Great service by the waitress. Tuesday nights are cheap food and it is packed with guys.

About 5 months ago, around 7pm on a weekday evening, I passed through San Bernadino. It was the first chance I'd had to go to Flesh in almost 5 years. I had fond memories of Flesh, as perhaps the best club I had ever been to.

Unfortunately, at 7pm they had 0 dancers. A woman drove up as I was leaving, and assured me "at least 3 dancers" would arrive by 8pm, and gave me free passes. I did not feel like waiting, so I left.

Last night (5/25) I went back, and found that the club was entirely closed. A sign posted on the door stated that there was a transfer of ownership in progress (that had begun on 4/1/08), but for now it is 100% closed. If it does come back, it will be under new ownership with new girls, etc, so it's unlikely that it will be as good as it used to be anyway.

A 1 is the only rating I could think of, since 'not applicable' isn't an option. Was staying at a nearby hotel and decided to stop by on an early afternoon either Mon or Tues last. No cars in the lot. There was no sign indicating the place was closed, but the doors were locked. Also the phone # given is still operating, but the mailbox is full indicating no one is picking up the messages. Has the feel of a place hoping to reopen in whatever guise the local authorities allow.

Made a visit here on the last day just before it shut down for the next few months due to court orders. Arrived at around 2:00 and the place wasn't overly busy at all. I spoke with a few of the girls and they didn't seem really sad that the place was shutting down. Most of them had other gigs already lined up at the local clubs in the Inland Empire. I did speak with one dancer who said that this was a good way for her to finally get out of the industry and find something else to do. Hmmm, I believe that I have heard that one before. Not many of them plan to be back when the club re-opens in a few months as a topless-only establishment. Hey, at least they can finally serve alcohol in the place.

It was pretty uneventful all around for me. I received a few laps from a girl who escapes my memory. Of the three sister clubs, this was my least favorite anyway and the closing will not affect my visits. I look forward to the reviews when this club does re-open though.

AN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) - A San Bernardino strip club has been shut down by a judge who also slapped the Flesh Club owner with a $25,000 fine for allowing sex acts in private VIP rooms.

Superior Court Judge Donald Alvarez has ordered the club closed for eight months beginning Nov. 14. The delay gives Hospitality Lane strip club owner Ryan Welty a chance to appeal.

Flesh Club lawyer Roger Jon Diamond argued unsuccessfully that only a portion of the business should be shuttered because striptease dancing is a First Amendment-protected activity.

The city has battled the strip club for a decade, claiming it's a house of prostitution.

City Attorney James Penman says he's pleased with the judge's decision.

I came here to support the club becuase it has been in dispute with the city and I think what the city is doing is wrong. You have to let people have the chance to earn a living. I thought this country is all about freedom. I mean come we don't live in Iran this is America. Anyway I go in I do notice that the girls are being somewhat careful with the mileage so I didn't experience anything too wild. But I appreciate that just about every girl was friendly and had a good attitude. Thats what made me really enjoy this visit even though the mileage wasn't the same as before. I think I would need to come here alot more often to earn the girls trust and set up a reputation as a regular customer.

Correction, the club is still open, and the owner had 15 days to appeal the decision as of 8/24/07. The San Bernardino officials involved are your typical corrupt, small-town crusaders, particularly the City Attorny, Penman.

Flesh is ordered closed for eight months by San Bernardino County judge, owner fined $25,000, ordered to remove drapes and other stuff.

San Bernardino County is going to lose. The city is the home of crazy right-wingers on a mission, but if they thought they could close it permanently, they would've. It could be a few years, but I'd lay down my life savings that Flesh will be back open and the owner reimbursed for lost revenue, just like in 1999.

This club was excellent. I liked the music, the girls, the lighting and the stage was quite large. The girl I danced with, Brooke, was really fabulous YMMV. In fact she gave me one of the best dances I ever had. The cover is high for a reason. The dances are very private and the bouncers don't do any checking so the right girl will give you a very full contact dance without FS of course. I even think some of them might even give you a happy ending but I am not sure of that. I was there about an hour and then I went home.

i heard about some legal trouble at this club from a local newspaper so I went to check out what all the fuss was about. Well I must say that even though the quality of the girls was ok to good but not great the hype over this place is over done. The mileage on the couch is nothing all that special, you can get similar mileage for half the price at OC clubs. And they push very expensive VIP dances. I didn't get any VIPS so i can't report on that. I might come back if i need a change of pace from my regular clubs.

I'd like to start off by warning that my last visit to this club was in late 2005. There aren't many clubs that I would want to review after such a long hiatus -- but Flesh is right at the top of the list.
I went to Flesh the first time in 2003 after reading a review about it. It was a rave review, and I coincidentally found myself about 30 minutes from San Bernadino less than a week later - it seemed like fate.
The club appears smallish from the outside, and is in a slightly-worse-than-average part of town. It's a little tricky to find, but not TOO bad. The parking lot is small, but there's ample parking within reasonable walking distance.
The club inside is somewhat generic - lots of black/mirrors/stage/etc, nothing really notable. It's not that large, but it's no hole in the wall, either.
The average dancer was a 7.5 or so. When I say this, you'd naturally assume that means a few 10s and a few 2s and everything in betweeen, right? Wrong! It means there were 7s.. and there were 8s. Nothing else.
There weren't a whole lot of women (I saw perhaps 10 -- though there could have been double that, as I didn't spend that long on the floor), and they were extremely aggressive. So aggressive that I almost left, in fact... but I was with a friend who wanted "just one dance" before we left, and... well who was I to deny such superior logic?!
So we each picked our woman. He was really hot for his (not my taste), more so than I was for mine, though she was attractive enough. When she took me back, I got the "$20 for a dance, $40 for nude, or $60 for a dance you'll remember spiel." I don't remember the result of the negotiation, but it came down somewhere in the range of $120 per 3 songs for nude and something I'd remember... and I definitely DID remember it.
She'd probably have gone as far as I wanted for the right price, but that's not my style. So instead she teased me worse than I can ever remember being teased. She had every move a dance can have, and a few I didn't know they could. In all of the years I've been going to clubs, I've never had anything to match that dance (before or after). We stayed back for about $260 worth of dances, and then came out so she could take a breather. Now that she'd made money off of me, she wasn't quite as business like, and we talked for about 45 minutes. My friend surfaced sometime in the middle of that (our compared notes later made me believe that he got, if anything, a BETTER dance than I did).
We wound up sticking around for about 5 hours all told, and must've gone through $600 each. It was a lot of money for nothing but dances and chitchat, and yet we both felt we'd gotten every penny of value we could out of it.
Probably the only negative thing (besides the money) I'd be able to say about the trip was that even after they "softened up" the girls remained somewhat businesslike, continually prodding us if we "timed out" too long, etc.
I tried to go back about 3 months ago, and it was closed. I arrived around 8pm (driving through San Bernadino) and there was a hostess there, but no girls. She said the girls would start arriving within 15 minutes, and gave me a free admittance pass. I waited about 10 minutes, and after none had arrived yet, I left.
While I doubt that those 2 girls still work there, I've heard many similar stores about this club, and I think every frequenter of clubs should try to go here at least once.
