Show List
I dropped by on a Monday afternoon. There were lots of cars in the lot and a lot of customers inside. Most of the customers tended to be older white guys in their golfing outfits. The girls are friendly and most are good looking. The stage dancing was not all that great as the lighting was very poor. The black girls sometimes disappeared from view. The dance prices are also very high compared to Tampa. Check reviews below for specifics. I did get a topless dance or two from Paige who I remember form a couple of years ago. She does a wonderful dance that is worth the price. I would recommend you take her to the VIP room for an unforgettable experience and a sample of why this club is better than most in Tampa. I just wish they would turn up the stage lights.
Went on a Wednesday & Thursday night. Admission fee was less than 10 dollars. Topless lap dances are $20. Fully nude dances are $40 each. VIP is $200 for 30 minutes.
I highly recommend starting out with a $20 dollar dance to get familiar with the dancer, then from there decide if you want to take it further.
The club had a nice mix blonds & brunettes. All the women were attractive & friendly. This club is definitely better than anything Tampa has to offer. You won't get the typical "Don't touch me, there's a camera in here" from these women. The dancers do NOT constantly bug you to take them to VIP.
Thanks
visited club around 330p on Tuesday 6/17. good crowd. lots of dancers. too many anorexics, too many tattoos, too many bolt on boobs. Was happy to see my old fav Paige working. Tipped her on stage and asked her to come see me when she was done. she did so and after a previous promised dance for another customer, she came and sat with me. as soon as she sat down her hand was in my lap working me. We hit the back room after paying $40 to the house. two songs go really fast when you are getting a BBBJ to oral completion and DATY. at the end she asked me for $160. I laughed and told her she could have all I had left which was about $75. she said ok and said I owed her. I really enjoy spending time and money with Paige. it is obvious she enjoys what she does, and does it very well. She may not be for everyone, since she is a little older and loves to talk, but she is the reason I visit Bare Assets.
I dropped into the Bare Assets 12:45 PM having heard a while back that the incomparable (38 triple Ds) Allison, late of the Tanga, might be working there. It was not to be...
There were a dozen or so dancers, half of them in a hen clutch, drinking and smoking; a couple were standing on the other side of the room talking and smoking; one was sitting at the bar playing a video game (or maybe texting) on her cell. A couple were actually tending to business, sitting with and chatting up customers. I could not see everyone well, and did not wait until all had done their pair of songs -- by the way, some bared their "assets" and some didn't -- but from what I could see, about 80% were past their prime, assuming they ever were prime. There were several pairs of silicone enhancements, and several more that really needed it. I did not see anyone opt for a lap dance, although a small group og guys did install themselves into the "hen party" so maybe something developed there.
Brooke, the young lady who spent time chatting me up was better looking (nothing great, though), younger, and firmer than most. She came equipped with a bandanna which I suppose would have wound up in my lap (ala Katherine and Heather @ YSC) had I accepted her proposition. For my taste that is really way too sterile and antiseptic for something that is supposed up close and personal. If these girls don't want to be touched, maybe modeling would be a better career choice than lap dancing... I told her "no thanks." She left. A few numbers later when she danced, she was one of those who did not bare her assets; methinks I made the right choice. No one else approached. The show was really mediocre, so I left as well.
very busy club,pretty and polide ladies.latte night turned out to be very ghetto.admison was $9 drink prices are fair.some girls have no business to dance in any club.they have topless dances for $20 and nude $40 ,30min.VIP rooms are $200,incl.2 complementary drinks of your choise,realy not a bad deal with the right kind a girl.Some will do more than others so you have to feel them out first,to invest your money smart.
This will be a brass tacks review for the out of town set. Unless you happen to be in Holiday, Florida there is no need to go out of your way to check this place out. It isn't a bad club. The layout is reasonable and there is a good amount of room with comfortable chairs on wheels. I think I'll start calling them Tampa chairs because those little oval seats seem to be in every club in the area. There is one main stage and a satellite. I prefer the alternate stage myself because it is more interactive. The bar is well stocked and the drink service is fast and friendly. So far all of this sounds good, so what's the issue? It's a locals club through and through, and I suppose it just wasn't my type of crowd. When I want to go to a bar I go to a bar. When I want to see strippers I go to a strip club. This place is about a 50/50 split. Got a couple of dances (one nude, one topless) from a couple of rookies who really need some more seasoning before they go around promising the world. But they were cute at least. One had been there a week, one a month. Not a lot of lookers, but a nice group of girl next door types that I could take the time to talk to if I was from that town. The blonde waitress in the short shorts and tank top (who said used to work at Emperors) had the body of death. Can't recall her name but you can't miss her. Too bad she (and the brunette bartender busting out of her top) weren't dancing. Overstayed a bit to make sure I gave the club a legitimate chance to impress, then left for other destinations and didn't look back. Before I forget, the nude lap dances here are a ridiculously priced $40 per song. Let's just say the upsell attempt for the VIP room met a quick end about 30 seconds into the $40 test drive. Since she was really good company beforehand, I wrote it off as the cost of doing business. With any luck YMMV. Might be better on the weekends, but the dancers I met said it was really crowded and hard to move around on those days. Try this club out for yourself if you have to, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're closer to Tampa.
I've always wanted to visit Bare Assets, but I never had a chance. I've read some great reviews here on TUSCL and on other websites. Either a big rainstorm would back up traffic on US-19 and I couldn't make it, or I was never in the area. I finally decided to visit on Sunday, May 4. I arrived at 6:45 pm and they were switching over to the night shift.
My first impression of the club was that it's dark! I sat far away from the stage and I could hardly see the dancer on the stage. All I saw was a dark blob on the stage. I sat closer and I could see the dancer better. Dancers ranges from 7-10s. One thing that struck me is that most dancers left you alone most of the time. When I first walked in, I think one dancer asked me for a dance. I started tipping dancers on stage. When the dancer finished their set, they did come down, thanked me for the tip, and asked for a dance. A polite "no" did not aggravate them and they weren't aggressive about the refusal. During the day shift, I did get topless dances from Britany and a dancer whose name began with a "M." I don't recall her name, but she said that she was a mix of four races. Topless dances were $20. Hands roamed freely (no touching between the legs though) and there was a good amount of grinding. Nude dances were $40, but I didn't partake in any. I don't see how different they would be with the grinding on a nude dance.
The night shift came and one stunner came out...Sunny Adams (that's what the DJ called her). She was a blonde, a 10, and had a body that brought me to my knees. I tipped her a lot when she did the stage session. I took her for 2 topless dances in the back. I hate to say it, but when I saw her first, I thought she was a typical stuck-up dancer bitch. During the dances, though, she was very friendly and seemed very smart. I asked her for some VIP dances. It was $200 for the half hour and the dancer would be nude during the entire session. A drink for the dancer and you were included.
I took Sunny into the VIP room. I had heard stories of extras in the back, but I don't see how. There was a small opening to the room, but no door or curtain. Someone could easily look in and see any naughty doings. I wasn't looking for extras, but a great dance. Not only did Sunny give a great dance (and she has the most perfect real breasts I've ever seen!), but she likes to talk and put on a great conversation. Yes, you might think I'm weird because I talk to the dancers during the lap dance, but she was really great in talking and was very smart. How about that -- a smart dancer!
After the VIP dance, Sunny sat with me at the bar and chatted for another 30 minutes before I had to leave. I think other dancers would probably go to another customer or run to the back after a VIP session.
The VIP room seems expensive, but if you think about it, it really isn't. Nude dances are $40. If songs are 4 minutes, then in 30 minutes you will have about 7 songs. $40 x 7 = $280. If you bought a beer, that's $4. Another drink for the dancer would be around $5. So if you got a dance in the regular room, you would be paying around $289. Plus, you don't have privacy as other dancers are dancing around you. If you want to do the VIP room, find a dancer you really like and take her back there.
Overall, Bare Assets in a pretty nice club, even though they could turn the lights up a tad. If I were to visit again, I'd probably go during the nights to see Sunny.
Was back here a few weeks ago and managed to hook up with India, an older Latina with a nice rear-end and big, albeit not exactly perky, breasts. She gave great dances in the VIP room letting my hands roam everywhere but where the sun don't shine. No extras were offered. Overall, a good time, but a little steep at $150, although you do get a full half-hour for that price. The drinks were reasonably priced and the girls were friendly as usual, but they tend to flock towards the regulars.
Returned from Florida again recently and went here again. great overall club. I went in the afternoon on a Wednesday and there musthave been about 10 girls, most in the 7-8 range. I sat at the stage and tipped and drank 3 dolla beers all afternoon. The girls here are really friendly which is why i rate the club so high. They really like to sit and talk and I paid a couple of them to sit on my lap and shoot the breeze for a while. There are liberal rules in the VIP area and I have heard at night there are some stunnig women here. One of them said she danced at Mons and I believe it. check out the website. I dont recall seeing any of them from the website during m y visit but if those girls are around that is quality talent. probley one of the better clubs in the tampa area right now.
Was here for part of the day shift in mid-February. It's certainly a good time.
I spent some time with a dancer who certainly wasn't the hottest in the club, but was very friendly (both in terms of personality and in where she put her hands). After one topless dance, she went on stage. A bit later, we did the half hour for 150. Had a very good time. The best part is that she didn't ask for anything for extras or beg for a tip. She simply went to work and we both had fun.
Definitely worth an afternoon stop.
Since my last review, the club has hired a ton of new dancers for day shifts. While most of the old favorites are still around, some of the new women are fine, eager to please, and just as friendly. While the influx of new blood may not be the greatest thing in the world for the dancers, it's great for customers. Most afternoons I've been in, the dancer to customer ratio is nearly 1:1.
If you are a beer drinker, $3.25 domestic bottles is about the best price you'll find in any strip club, much less a full-nude, full-contact club with alcohol. Shots and wells are similarly well-priced, while the good stuff costs significantly more. I recommend waiting for 2-for-1 shot specials if you plan on drinking something like Patron(TM) unless you're a high roller.
Spent two very enjoyable afternoons there in mid-January. Everything said about the afternoon shift below is true. What could be better than sitting with a drink and a smoke watching beautiful naked (OK, often only topless, but that depends on tips) women on stage, while contemplating disappearing into the back with the friendly one sitting next to you? Nicole, Bree, and several others gave me a great time. Take a trial run with a $20 topless, and you can see whether you want more. The $150 half-hour special may seem steep, but not when compared to the $40 nude single dances. This is a laid-back, no-hassle kind of place which is a nice contrast to the usual Tampa hustle.
I agree with previous reviewers about quality of day shift dancers. Stopped in Saturday, since I was in the area (rarely am). I was amazed at how a club could not charge a cover AND sell a beer for $3.25 while Tampa clubs charge $5 for water.
Didn't bother with a private dance, the two who most appealed to me were busy with customers but had a fund time at the stage. I'll probably opt for another visit in the daytime soon.
Previous reviews have pretty much been right-on. I stopped by here day shift and there about 10 girls that day. Most of them were about 7-8's, and very friendly and personable. A couple of the girls here told me they were former Mons Venus girls and I believe them based on their looks. Beer was 4 bucks a shot, no cover during the day. I did get a girl to deal with me on dances, shorty with blonde hair, real sweet girl. I stayed well-behaved during the dances but I probably could've pushed the limits without too much trouble. This is a good stop, I recommend it!
Definitely my favorite club in the Tampa area. Full nude, alcohol. Decent contact lap dances. I prefer the day shift, and often head there after work just to unwind. The bar staff is extremely friendly. The club is clean, but dark, with a single stage and large bar. Plenty of seating for patrons is available. There is both a semi-private lapdance room as well as private VIP booths. They also have a private champagne room with a flat-screen tv.
The day shift dancers are some of the friendliest dancers in town. There is always a good assortment of body types, ages, and personalities. On a given day shift, you can expect between 10 and 20 dancers.
Completely agree with the previous posts about the difference between dayshift and nightshift dancers. I was here a few days ago and stayed from 5:30pm to about 8pm, experienced both varieties. Dayshift girls were definitely more sensual and more willing to please. Sexy Valerie went all out for me in the VIP room, and completely blew my mind among other things. Several other dancers provided full access to places nightshift dancers wouldn't dare.
Hottest girl on the nightshift, Max, had a proportionately crappy attitude. This girl was as hot as anything you will find at Mons Venus, but it was obvious she does not like her job and thinks she is too good to be touched... dances were downright painful as she tried to use her leg to pound your crotch area while keeping her "goodies" completely covered up. Paid her $20 for one dance in the topless-only area, and told her to stop less than one minute into it.
Other than her, all of the girls here seemed to have awesome and pleasant attitudes. The big-breasted blonde cocktail waitress was one of the hottest girls there and probably the nicest of all (sorry, forgot her name). If you're looking for sensual dances with awesome contact, go dayshift. If you're more into a Mons Venus-style of club, nightshift is your best bet.
Just as in my previous visit here (reviewed June 5), I experienced mixed success over two days, which proves the wisdom of the advice "YMMV" if nothing else.
First day, afternoon visit produced a sensuous but not overly high mileage LD session with Brie, while in the evening Amanda lured me to the couch with her flirtacious demeanor on stage but disappointed when we got there.
The following day I was getting bored sitting at the bar when I was double teamed by Stevie and Joie, who insisted on entertaining me as a duo (or maybe a quartet, if you get my drift). Their double LD was sensory overload and I left happy, broke, and wishing I was younger and/or wealthier.
Still no daytime cover charge, so the possibility of something like the Stevie-Joie encounter makes it easier to overlook the inconsistency. I'll return.
visited 13/3 around 2pm. club was empty. High girl to guy ratio. sat down at bar and much to my surprise, my favorite club dancer, Paige, was sitting right next to me. She didn't recognize me at first, but when I refreshed her memory she was very friendly.. was honest about being low on funds. watched her dance on stage. went into topless room for some fun. we were all alone. during both dances willy was out for a BBHJ and i was allowed unlimited access to the kitty. asked about OTC for later, she gave her number but I deleted it off my phone. Was very happily surprised to see Paige. didn't pay any attention to other dancers during my short visit.
I seem to only get here in the afternoons. The dancers rate very high for day time staff. Very friendly, very attractive ... and stark naked. Tough to beat!
There is no cover charge during the day and beers are less than $5 so it will be a very worthwhile stop if you are on the Northwest side of Tampa.
Guys --
I stopped in at Bare Assets last week, during a business trip to the Tampa Bay area. It was during the day, so there was no cover charge. They were running a drink special = 2 for 1 well drinks ($4.75 buys you two). And - the beers were only $3.25 for a domestic longneck.
However, that's where the good news comes to an end. I was not impressed with this place. I went there with high expectations, because the TUSCL website has some pretty favorable reviews. What I experienced was entirely different. The strippers were not friendly at all. The bitch behind the bar was a very rude cunt, not nice to the customers at all.
Some of the girls would get up to do their dance set on stage, and they would forget to undress. When I tipped at the stage, there is absolutely no mileage at all, for your tip. Maybe it gets better in the back room. I don't know about that, because none of the girls got me excited, so I did not take anyone to the back.
If you do decide to go back for a personal dance, here's the scoop:
$20 per song for a topless lapdance
$40 per song for a nude lapdance
$150 will buy you 30 minutes in the VIP
In general, I do not recommend Bare Assets. Go down the street to Extasy, where the girls are much friendlier, and easy to talk with.
As promised, I came back last Wednesday during dayshift and had a spin with Valerie in the VIP room. $150 for the full session, but $50 went to the DJ and only $100 for the girl, which is totally ripping off the girl. As expected, the dances were awesome, although I did not ask for any extras (did not have the extra money to spend even if they were offered). I tipped her at the end, since like I said, $50 going to the club is complete BS. As good as the VIP was, I think you get more for your money with the nude or topless dances if you only plan to be there for 4 songs or less. Anything over 4, you're better off in the VIP. I tried out another girl (forgot her name) in the topless area at $20 per song, but the dances were very tame and not much "roaming" with the hands or mouth was allowed, which was a bit disappointing. Seems like this club is HIT OR MISS, depending on if you find the right girl. I give the club itself a '7' and Valerie a '9', so we'll give it an '8' overall.
Stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon. Things were very slow, with only about six girls working and not many more customers. They serve alcohol here and its about the only place in Pasco County where you can get a drink on Sunday. All the girls were around a 7 or 8 with a real spinner on the dance floor when I walked in that was a 9. All the girls where apparently obligated to a customer so I never got a chance to try the dance menu. Very dull place on Sunday afternoons. Weekday afternoons are completely different.
My first visit here on a Wednesday afternoon after a multi-year absence... and WOW, have I been deprived all these years. This club has just about everything you could want: friendly girls, cleanliness, solid ambiance, and LIQUOR!! (the long drive and horrible US19 traffic was really the only negative). The girls were fairly attractive, mostly in the 6-8 range, but this was very early on a Wed., so I'm guessing the first teamers are every bit as hot as previous posters have described. In any case, they offer dances for every kind of budget. I got $20 dances from Valerie, a cute sexy blonde with some junk in the trunk and for being plastic, a nice set of boobs. These were the absolute best $20 dances I've ever had and all I could think about was getting wilder with this girl, but I did not want to spend the $150+ for the VIP. At least not today. Most likely, I will be back... from the sounds of it, these girls will go above and beyond the call of basic lap love for the right price... I can't wait to find out for sure the next time I go, which will be soon!!
I have been to Bare Assets the past two Friday nights and it was fantastic. The girls are mostly 8-9's with a couple 10's. The best part is they are very friendly without being pushy. Even the bouncers are very friendly. Drink prices are reasonable and full nude private VIP room for 30 minutes at $200 is worth it. Its about a 30 minute drive from Tampa but blows away all the Tampa clubs. All in all the best club I have been to in the Tampa area.
I stopped in on a slow Wednesday night around 10:30 PM. The place was pretty empty, but there were enough girls around to entertain the crowd. They don't have any specials on Wednesdays, but they do have a friendly group of gals.
I got a dance from Jenna, a very pretty blond with dreads. Nice experience. Will definately go back.
$20 topless dances in curtained room full of couches, $40 full nude in private booth. I think the cover was around $12, and I drank water @ $4/bottle.
Two stops on a recent Tampa visit allow me to expand on my previous review of February 17.
A Saturday afternoon stop just after the monsoon moved through was highlighted by a topless dance from Stevie, a healthy-looking American blonde who seemed to enjoy her work. She had several special touches, and if that's not a double entendre, I never wrote one. Personable with no upsell. Highly recommeded.
Slipping in on Monday night I was determined to explore the nude dance room and found a likely candidate in a shapely Filipino. The mileage pegged the Peter Meter, so I definitely got my forty bucks worth, but it seemed vaguely mechanical. So follow the advice of previous reviewers and take a test drive for $25 in the topless area before ordering the option package.
In my previous review I dissed the customers sitting at the bat watching sports on TV. I found myself doing the same thing during my Saturday visit. Sorry guys. Anyway, Saturday was a 9, Monday was a 7, so we'll give this trip an 8.
There have been a number of changes since I last reviewed this club, which is still my favorite. They remodeled the area in the back, where the second stage is. The second stage is much nicer, with more and better seating. They added two small private rooms along the back wall -separate from the old VIP area, and for a nude dance those are the ones you want - lots of privacy. The old VIP room was cut up into more, smaller "rooms" - they added a desk where you check in (inside the VIP area - bad idea), and the rooms are tiny - just a little bench seat. No curtains, just strings of beads. And the price went up - $200 for a half hour, still the best deal around. There is a new Executive VIP area, just one room, in back of the front, topless private dance room. $350 for a half hour, but the room is large, with lots of room to "spread out" - comfortable furniture, and decent privacy. Whether this is worth it is absolutely dependent on the girl you choose. If the added privacy isn't going to get you any more mileage, don't do it. At Bare Assets, the girls are great, top quality and with something for everyone. But the club, to its credit, allows the girls to maintain their own "rules" that are more strict than the club's. So it's not a bad idea to invest in a couple of $25 topless dances before you head for the VIP room. Bare Assets is clean, well-vetilated (cigars allowed), festive and fun - and they make you feel welcome.
Dropped by for an early evening visit recently. Had never visited while it was still daylight outside. I'd heard the afternoon's could be a fun time. Perhaps I should have gone earlier because they seemed to be doing a lot of shift changing. Not many girls on the floor. I had a drink at the bar and waited a while. I saw no familiar faces and no one I cared to spend time with. Finished my drink and left- will return but probably a little later in the evening.
Made my first visit to this club after reading mostly positive reviews. My visit was only so-so.
First the positives: Beautiful girls, fun atmosphere, comfortable seating.
Now the negatives: $40 a pop for a nude dance (too expensive), way too crowded on a Saturday night (you could barely move), very loud music
This place may have worked better for me on a date/time other than Saturday night. But this was the only time I was able to go. Got there about 8:00 and stayed until closing. After entering, I sat at the bar and was immediately approached by a young blonde (forgot her name) who said she had just started working there a few weeks ago and was attending nursing school. The music was so loud I could barely hear her even though she was probably giving me 50% BS anyway so it didn't really matter. She suggested the private dances and she expalined that more fun could be had with the $40 nude dances as opposed to the topless dances. I had my doubts but I thought I would see what she offered. Just as I suspected, it was pretty much an air dance with a little grinding and a little bit of climbing up on the chair and showcasing her bare crotch just above my head. That might have been okay (she was hot) except the booth was fairly dark and thus you couldn't really see anything. I ended it at one dance knowing it wasn't going to get much better.
The rest of the night I hung out around the main stage and dropped George Washingtons. For the next four hours I saw many, many more nude girls give as good or better of a show and received just as much contact overall for probably about the same $40 as I dropped on the one girl in the private booth that lasted all of three minutes.
Twice during the evening they brought all the girls out and offered a 2-for-1 topless special and a free T-Shirt. But, I didn't go for it either time.
All in all, there are some really hot girls here and I would guess that you can get better service and more for your money duing the non-peak times. But for a Saturday night, it's best just to sit around the stage and be an observer.
My afternoon visit avoided the cover charge and the crowding that drew complaints from the reviewers below. About half a dozen dancers with a dozen customers, but half of the guys were transfixed by the TV's behind the bar showing horse racing and skiiing, so that evened out the numbers. The barmaid was cute, but not that cute! Guys, get with the program. You can watch ESPN at home.
Interior simple but clean, comfortable chairs, music a little loud, girls attractive and friendly. Except for the chairs, that's the old Tanga Lounge formula as I mentioned in a review of this club a couple of years ago. (If you just walked in, the Tanga was on Route 60 in Tampa but fell to highway expansion.) A topless dance with Tasha proved the mileage to also be of Tanga standards. Definitely worth another trip, despite the awful traffic on US 19.
Positives: (1) Beautiful girls (2) Nice place (3) Big selection
Negatives (1) Steep cover (2) Nude dances $40 (3) Very crowded (4) Locals rule the roost (5) The bouncers try to intimidate the customers, even if they are behaving. It's like they are daring you to goof up, even when you are trying to be a gentleman.
From now on, I'll drive on down to the Courtney Campbell Causeway and cross on over to the other side. Tampa clubs have less BS.
Tried to control myself, but went back to Bare Assets on Wed 12/19 around 1pm. Had limited time and money so I hoped I could find Juliana and have some more fun. Club was very slow, lots of girls there. better selection than the day before. Juliana was onstage when I walked in. she was dressed in a two piece outfit that showed off a number of tattoos that were not visible yesterday. spent 3-45 minutes talking and laffing before we headed for the topless room. had the room to ourselves for one song, then were joined by a tattletale dancer who caused Juliana to back off on the contact allowed. All in all I enjoyed myself, but didn't get as deep inside as I did the previous day.
Visited club on Tuesday 12/19 from 5pm to 7pm. club was full of customers but seems a little short on dancers. did not recognize any of my favs from past visits. Dancers that were there were not up to normal levels. only had one dancer come up to me and ask for a dance. was ready to leave when Juliana hit the stage. He is a little older, much classier and hot as hell. Spent over an hour talking and laughing with her. she is recently back on stage after a 10 yr hiatus. She is gorgeous, smart, funny and gives a great dance. since she was wearing a mesh catsuit, she offered nudes in the topless room for 20 per song. Dances were excellent. no limits on touching with fingers or lips. has the greatest eraser nips! she seemed to enjoy having my finger inside her for the third song. Thankfully Juliana saved this trip from being a really bad one.
Damn! Visited this club recently on a Wednesday evening/night expecting to be somewhat disappointed and was pleasantly surprised - especially after the $9 cover charge. By the time I left, the joint had about two dozen dancers and had (finally) opened the satellite stage.
A minor negative in addition to the steep cover (I arrived around 7:30pm) was that the music was a tad bit on the loud side and that a handful of the 25 dancers hovered in the 4-5 range (and didn't really seem to have the requisite skills for the job). A bigger negative was that this place seemed to cater to the local crowd of discontents; whom most of the dancers seemed to spend a lot of their time socializing with rather than hustling the clientele. Net result...I left with money in my pocket that I'd rather have put in their thongs.
On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and courteous - this includes everyone from Long Island at the front door to the DJs, bartenders and wait staff. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't have minded seeing one of the bartenders or waitresses up on stage. But I digress. The real reason for the top end score was the talent. With the exceptions noted above, the dancers ranged from 7-10 with most scoring a hard 8 (and I'm a hard grader!). Topped out by the likes of Cherokee (a top drawer brunette with a "special skill" for drawing attention to her finely toned ass), Erin (a smooth and sexy brunette with all the right curves and all the right moves), Razelle (a delightfully sensuous sparkplug with heels), and Mercedes (a charming vixen with a long, ass-slappin' mane of jet black hair). Of course, to top it off there was Asia - simply ... perfection in a g-string!!!
With a little more privacy for the lap dances, the satellite stage being continuously "in play", and the volume dialed down a notch or two, this place would score a 9. If you could pry the entertainers from the locals and be more selective in contracting dancers, heck even a 10 is within reach.
Always a strong showing of pretty girls. Although local in nature the girls are all pretty nice and beautiful. Went there shortly after a couple of meetings in Tampa on Wednesday and the turn out was still pretty nice. They had a couple of drink specials going on and dance specials since the place was rather sparse to say the least. Left before all the fun started to catch my flight back home.
Nice small club in northern Tampa Bay. Alcohol served. Pretty girls that get naked on stage most of the time but not always. $20 topless dances with two-way contact. I haven't tried the $40 nude dances or the $200 half hour private room sessions. Dayshift is less crowded but less girls to choose from. Nightshift is too crowded for this small club, but the best girls on nightshift are on par with the best girls at the Mons or 2001. Some of them are former Mons or 2001 dancers who've decided to work at Bare Assets for whatever reason.
visited club from 330p to 6pm on 8/1. club was not as crowded as in past visits. about 12 dancers on day shift. sorry to hear my fav Paige was not working today. noticed a new face, a girl named Selena, blonde, young, a little chubby but very cute, nice boobs. talked with her for about an hour. also tipped a hot girl named Nicole on stage. super boobs. she seemed drunk. waiting for showtime to get a 2 4 20 topless from Selena. nice griding. unlimited touching up top, tongue action on willy thru the pants. When I came out I planned to take Nicole in the topless, but she was busy. ended up going nude with Selena for one song. was able to get some juice on my chin and finger tips. not a bad trip.
Went there the other weekend, it by far is my favorite place to hang out. The girls are real sweet and the dances are great. Still 20 for topless 40 for total nude. Beer with beer and bush how can you go wrong. Drove back to Tampa and ended the night at Ybor Strip.
Visited the club twice two weeks ago both times in the afternoon. For afternoon girls, they had a good crew! Very friendly, forthcoming, ranged from 7 to 9. No cover. $3.25 for beer. Fully nude dancing. Dancers most appreciative of tips.
Visited club in the evening. Too many bouncer types with their sleeves rolled up showing off their upper arms. Clubs that employ these fools soon lose my business. Seriously, what do they think is gonna happen in a strip joint? it gonna be robbed? dancers gonna be raped? somebody gets in without paying cover charge? Did get 2 for 1s from a cute black dancer who lives in Tampa and used to work the Mons--nothing exceptional. Wont be back here for awhile.
First time back here in about a year. Stopped on a Wed. afternoon, about 15 girls, all attractive. The good news is Julia is back. Very fun to talk with and gives great dances.
Went In this club on a Saturday afternoon. No cover was charged so I went in got a beer and set down to watch girls were nice 7 or so, and there were at least 5 or six of them. wasn't long before one asked I I wanted a private dance sure. 3 options topless 20 full nude 30, and total private room 300. went for the nude. It was nice she quickly went to dancing grinding in my lap touching was ok. nice dance but only lasted 1 song. Overall a decent club a few more young hot girls would be nice though
Went there last week after a couple meetings in Tampa. It was kind of a drive especially when you learn that it is nude and serves alcohol. This place is one of the strongest clubs that I have visited. The girls are generally all really friendly and the drink are pretty strong. Dances in the topless are were $20, while the VIP area was $40 for fully nude. Stayed for a couple hours before heading back to Tampa.
Stopped by this place again. It's a little dark, but very nice and clean inside. The barmaids serving drinks are on top of you right away, and are very friendly. They take the time to talk to you. But the dancers are mostly sticking to regulars, and I'm from out of town and don't know any of them. Most of the ladies in there were 7-10 range, very pretty. Finally a girl came up, talked for a while. She had a great body, huge upper body. She was into fitness. She said she worked out 4-5 times a week, wieghtliftling and yoga. She had biceps to kill for, not huge, but extremely tight. I like that in a girl. So I did a VIP dance from, and promised me the world. Well, she let me touch just about everything, but didn't give what she promised. I will go back to this place, but won't expect too much in the future.
Things have changed a bit since I last visited. Bare Assets is still the place to go in the Tampa Bay area, IMHO, but it's lost a bit of its quaintness - if that's a term you can use for a strip club. Success can do that. The new parking lot, fenced and lit up like a ball field, but hidden from the street if you don't want your car seen, handles the extra cars, and there are plenty of girls working -- 37 when I was there last Thursday. They were impressive, something for every taste but all at least acceptable. Most are young, slim and very friendly. There seems to be a lot of turnover, and several girls I spoke with said they also worked at the Brass Flamingo.
The private dance routine has been modified. The front lapdance room is for the $20-$25 "topless" dances only. The VIP room in the back is now used for the $40 nude dances in addition to the 1/2 hour sessions (price raised from $160 to $200 - they said that the other Pasco clubs were charging that much). It appears that the curtains on the private rooms are gone for good. Too bad. But I had a great time, well worth my $200. The rules on touching are still very liberal, and satisfying. And the beer is still $3.50.
Well worth a visit.
My first time here few weeks ago and won't be my last. Even mix of ladies, good drinks, good dances and unlike Tampa, the vip is priced reasonable. My friends and I had a great time and will return when our VERY hectic schedules permits.
I'm a long-time clubber and it takes a little to impress me. Went to BA because have read so much about full bar/full nude. I dont go to nude clubs because of the stupid no alcohol rule so was off on a Wednesday and decided to scope out BA. From N Dale Mabry its about a 30 min drive up the parkway to Hwy 54 (less time than it takes to drive to Tootsies on E. Hills). Got there about 1pm there were maybe 7 girls clustered together by themselves, not working the customers. By 2pm there were 12 girls and they started hustling. All 7-9s and mostly 8s--you'll find what your looking for here! I took a liking to 1 dancer, slim and very flexible, tipped her a couple times on stage and she came by to thank me. When they announced a 2 for 1 she came and got me. Enjoyed 2 totally nude dances, in privacy, in a cubicle with 3 walls. I engaged in light petting that was not discouraged but resisted urge to explore more. She was smooth and slow and sensual (perfect for me). Tipped her $20 because felt like @ the 2 for $20 rate, she could have taken me to the open area and have kept her clothes on. This club gets a 9 because of her!
Visited this club last Wednesday evening on my annual Tampa excursion.
Arrived about 8 in the evening. No website, therefore no coupons...Cover was $9, and a mandatory soda was $4. Probably about 12-15 girls working with 30 patrons (many of whom were more interested in watching basketball on the plasma screens than the girls), with more girls showing up as I was leaving a couple hours later.
Girls ranged from 6-9 with an average of 7. No 10's that I saw last night. Most seemed to be 20-24 years old, no rookie 18 year old younglings from what I could tell. A couple were 30ish. Many had tatoos, some of which were more discreet than others.
Physical plant is OK. Music was at a reasonable volume (much better than last year when I left deaf) and although the air was smoky, it was not completely unbearable either. Stage is in the corner of the L-shaped building; chairs for patrons are comfortable.
Nice touches: Most girls asked if they could join you before sitting down (my pet peeve is when a girls sits that I have no intention of lapping!) Star, the only girl I lapped this visit, also was courteous enough to ask if I cared that she smoke...and when I declined, she actually followed thru by restraining herself!
Topless dances ($20) and nude ($40) are in a separate room filled with long couches. You share the room with other VIP patrons.
The moneymaker for this club are the Champange rooms at $160 for 30 minutes. (60 to club, 100 to dancer) This includes two free drinks for you and the girl. Rooms are 3-walled, floor-to-ceiling, cubicles approx 6 ft by 8 ft, with a love-seat type couch and one open side leading to a short hallway. Even though they are open, you are never bothered by a bouncer other than when they tell you time's up. Bonus: This year, I was not informed the session was over until a legit 30 minutes was up! Last year they cheated me out of 10 minutes...I didn't bother to argue because I didn't want to make a scene.
Star was the only dancer I had the pleasure of lapping on this visit, but it was well worth it. She's a 5"3' brunette with natural B-cups and hair slightly beyond sholder length. As far as the dance itself, let's just say that it exceeded my expectations, and came very very close to my personal limits. (beleive it or not, some guys do not go to a Tampa looking for full service or a "blastoff" experience!)
Club only gets points deducted for location. It's a good 40 minutes from central Tampa, in what I'm guessing are the extreme northeastern suburbs. And you have to ride thru quite a construction zome on US 19 to get there. All in all, however, this club is very much worth the drive.
I go to Bare Assets at least once a month. I went last Monday (2/13/06) and as always there was a large array of beautiful women. I sometime indulge in the VIP dances, but I always make sure the girl knows what I really like first. This time around, none of the girls were very responsive to my requests and one of them told me there was some sort of multi-bar raid a week ago.
I was in Tampa for business last week and managed to spend 4 hours in the late afternoon here. The club was clean and the service was good. There were around 7 women working ranging from 5-8. LD's are down in a back room in small (but comfortable) cubicles which offered plenty of privacy. The LD's were $40.00 apiec eor $150.00 for 1/2 hour. The 1/2 hour rate was a better deal. Milage was ok nothing great and in a couple of cases down right disappointing. The best part of this club, being outside of Tampa, is it is a nude club with alcohol. Having gone once I would not go out of my way to visit again.
Place has gotten a lot busier lately, parking can be a bit of a pain. The lighting is still too low, but the talent is still quote good. Frequent specials, 2-for-1s, free shirt/dvd giveaways, etc. Not nearly as much hustle as Mons or 2001, the dancers are looking a bit better these days than the declining Ybor Strip, and the crowd is generally better behaved. One of the top clubs in the Bay area.
A tale of two cities - let me explain - I came into the club about 4 PM on a Friday afternoon, just to check out the place first. Had a drink, and the ladies there were 7-9's. Very aggresive, yet friendly. I know I would have had a great time with a lady if I would have taken her up in the private areas, that cost $160. But I thought, wait til later. I ran out to get something to eat. Came back, seemed like a totally different place. Ladies after 7 PM were not as friendly, didn't talk much, just looking for money. Place was packed, music was way too loud. Had a private dance, didn't like it. I would have had a better time earlier in the day. Afternoon would have been a 9, evening would be a 5, average would be 7 for a rating. One thing I did notice, was a lot of nice looking girls coming into the for a drink. There were a lot of 10's, wish they could have been dancers.
I visit the Tampa area at least once a year. After my visit last year I stopped at BA and swore I'd visit at least once a trip. This year it was on my way home. I lowered the rating because there were many fewer dancers this year, less than a dozen and when you go to the stage to tip, most will just hold the garter out, and give you a peck on the cheek.
Luckily, Paige was there, she makes up for major deficiencies. If you visit, tell her "North Carolina" recommended her.
Reporting on two visists in the last month. Miserable Sunday visit. DJ was a complete jerk fighting with the dancers. Made it bad for customers when a dancer asked him to turn down the volme he cranks it up to ear splitting levels. Left with money in my pocket that normally would go to club and dancers. This visit was a 2.
DJ was totally unprofessional grabbing dancers, fighting send him back to Penn State as his cap suggested he was a fan.
Other trip was very good with nice dance with Kylie. Other entertainers were OK. Give this one 7 and average a 5.
Dropped by last week and saw all three of my favorite dancers on the same night. Alanah, Aleya and Razelle. See them all and see them in that order and then you will be able to say your life is complete.
Recent quck Monday afternoon visit had notable dancers in Mia a very fiendly talkative entertainer, Faith a very pretty dancer I would normally expect to see on a night shift and Vienna an outgoing agressive dancer. All three are good for the club.
This place is excelent with reasonable prices, great waitress and pretty dancers many wiliing to sit and talk at your table rather than follow the wanna dance approach.
Only downside during this visit was 1 or 2 dancers who seemed to hang at the bar. If in the area I would recommend this place. Personally prefer the Ybor Strip approach. But I suspect regulars would like this place better and if in the county or north Pinellas good option to save the long drive to Tampa.
Spent my first time here on early saturday evening, and it was pretty much what has been said by previous reviewers. It is an odd L shaped layout with lighting that could use a lot of improvement. It took me 5 minutes for my eyes to adjust. Once they did, I was rewarded with some great eye candy. The women ranged from 6 to 9. I had 2 women for the $20 dollar topless dances. The first was pretty good, the second brought my visit to a conclusion before the end of the song we were dancing to. She was very aggressive in a great way. Very enjoyable and worth a repeat visit.
Got to agree with prior posters that the lighting here in this club is annoying. Having said that, the girls are anything but. Lots of attractive ladies were at the ready on my recent weeknight visit. It sure is an added bonus to have the full liquor bar. I had a relaxed and good time with more than one of the ladies. I had hoped to see Alana again(saw her on previous visits) but she was off. Too bad for me as I have fond memories of time well spent with her. The laps I did have were all good. I did not avail myself of the VIP this time but had fun anyway. All in all...a good time and will be back.
visited club 11/2 around 4pm. club was very busy. lots of golfers and older gents. girls were 6-8. was very happy to see my fav from last visit paige was working. she was sitting with a threesome of golfers. when she got up on stage i moved to rail and tipped. she seemed very happy to see me. i asked her to come visit me when she got done with her friends. It took almost 2 hours, but I was finally able to steal her away from a stiff at the bar. she was drunk and thanked me repeatedly for getting her away from the stiff. she was very anxious to go to the vip room. for an older woman she is super hot. as soon as we sat down in the vip booth. she stripped and was all over me. boobs in my face, her hand in my crotch. she asked me to take it out and she started working it hard. as she worked i was able to play with her entire body. without warning. she got on her knees and started giving me a BBBJ to oral completiton. All this with no mention of cost. Spent two songs in the room and afterward handed her a roll of bills. she accepted with no question. as we were walking out of the room, i realized I hadn't given her enough and handed her more. she smiled and we both went on our merry way. Would have been a 10 if not for the 2 hr wait.
Time spent: 2 songs
Activity: BBBJ, hands anywhere
Cost: 60 plus tip
Finish: Priceless
Went here on a Friday night thinking it would be a bit sleazy and weak on the talent. I was totally wrong! There seemed to be an endless parade of really nice looking girls who cycled throught the main stage fairly quickly (2 songs max), They were then floating around the club, very friendly and not pushy at all. They had two-for-one dances every hour or so as the night went on. Along with some little take away like a T-Shirt. Well, when they have all the girls go up on stage for the 2-for-1 you gotta move fast because the best ones are grabbed up really fast. I was ready for the next one and quickly picked one of the really hot dirty blondes that I loved watching dance earlier. She was so damm friendly, not going through the motions at all. They have a prive dance room and there is full, mutual contact. In fact she encouraged it! Her body was solid, like a rock. She bumped and grinded and lost track of time and I ended up with three for one! What a deal!
So if you're visiting the Tampa area as I was, it's worth the extra few miles up Rt 19 to Holiday to have some real fun and excitement at Bare Assets.
Stopped in the club on a Wednesday during the dayshift. Big club about 15 girls working, full nude and full alcohol. Several girls were sitting around the bar talking to regulars I would guess. A nice looking blonde named Julia came up to talk. We soon went to the back for a few private dances. A few dances turned into many dances. The dances with Julia were the best I have ever had. She works really hard at pleasing the customer and seems to enjoy her work. I would highly recommend you spend some time with Julia.
Went on this past Thursday night. Crowd was kinda small. Staff was very nice. There were about 12 girls most of whom were 7's and above. Lap dances were $20 for topless and full contact. I had a dance with a tall, blonde from Canada--can't remember her name but won't forget the dance. Be back soon.
I have to agree with hedbanger. this is an excellent club. We had 4 people on a friday night and had no problem getting drinks or dances. The $160 for a half hour in the VIP room is a bargain compared to the shit holes in Tampa that don't even serve alcohol and try to get $400 for a half hour. I am refering to 2001 odyssey. There were a half dozen very petite hotties which I love, several of which gave awesome dances. If you spend some money you will have a great time in this club.
I had to reply to the last review. I suspect that the "other club" they were visiting from was Extasy, the "competition" and only other strip club in Holiday. A nice place, by the way. The lighting at Bare Assets is odd, I'll grant that. When you first walk in you have to be careful not to trip over someone. But after a few minutes your eyes adjust and you can see fine. Especially the girl onstage - I've been in clubs where it was brighter, but there's no trouble seeing the kitty, especially since the girls "dance" on the stage-front bar right in front of you, nude. As far as getting a drink, that's no problem. Tip the waitress well the first time, she's your friend for the night. Will even recommend girls for dances. The regular private dances are okay, some are even great. The contact is better during the daytime. It is a good way to check out who to take to the VIP. After a song or two in the "regular" private area, which is a room about 8 by 20 with large velour chairs along both walls, you know if you've got a 'winner'. The VIP or champagne room is fairly private, small booths each with a couch, end table and lamp. No curtains. But if you tip the bouncer sitting outside, that's not a problem I've had some fantastic experiences back there.
The only thing this place has going for it is full liquor and nude. Went in the other day, before 7pm , a time when most clubs in the area do not charge a cover, and they charged $9 per person (Me and aa Dancer from another club went in to check it out) charging cover for women - 2 points
Lighting inside is horrible there are so many black lights that all you see is bright purple lights everywhere, that combined with the day glo orange and green trays you had a very hard seeing the girl dancing. -2 points Of course when you went to the stage you quickly realized why the lights were the way they were. Ugly girls butt ugly girls - 3 points
all in all drive 2 iles north to Extacsy where there are a few better looking girls and the lights arent totally blinding
The club is a little too dark and the music a bit too loud, and the dancer quality ranges from 4-8. The prices are decent, and 2-for-1 specials are announced fairly often. While 90% of them will give a standard Tampa lapdance, there are a few girls here who are pretty high-mileage, though not to the degree you find at LS.
Bare Assets has two stages and full bar. The girls range from 6+ to near 10's. I went on a Friday night and it was almost SRO. Very busy with lots of customers and about 20 dancers. Music you can feel in your fillings. I had to work to get a private dance. Once you get your dancer, you are offered two areas, one is air zone and the other is lap. I enjoyed mine:) $60 gone in the blink of an eye, but about what I expected for this part of Florida. I wouldn't drive up from Tampa for this but it is close to home.
arrived at 1:45 pm on a thursday. club was busy for the daytime shift and there were plenty of mostly attractive daners. the club stands out becuase it is full nudity and full alcohol. mia and paige were my top 2 dancers picks. management of the club is very good and they make an effort to take care of you. the club offers a champagne room for $160 = 1/2 hr and topless dances for $20. the variety of music played by the DJ was outstanding i had a great time time and will return to this club everytime i'm in the tampa area.
Visited Bare Assets on my last trip to Florida based on some of the reviews I had read here. I don't know if things have tightened up or not, but I was fairly disappointed. The girls were pretty nice looking with a wide assortment, and they were friendly when you could get one to visit, but it seemed to be one of those places where they hang-out with the regulars. The few girls that either came over or I solicited myself were fine, but it seemed like too much work to me. Contact was only fair when compared to other Florida clubs. I kept beating myself up when I thought I could have been at the Ybor Strip instead of wasting my time here. Will not be back.
Lots of girls, full nude, full liquor, and you will not sit alone longer than 2 minutes once you find a place to sit! Sometimes this place gets downright crowded. The layout is very good for general seating, it's almost impossible to get a seat without a full view of at least of of the two dance floors. The private dance and VIP rooms are very private, but you have to make sure you tip enough so the bartenders, DJ, and bouncers will get their share out of it, otherwise it won't be worth it to the girls. Tip the servers well, they will always steer you in the direction you are looking for. Watch out for open tabs, the girls will often find out and buy drinks for all under your tab. The area is mostly white with a small town redneck personality, everyone knows everyone so if you are new, or from out of town, be wise about what you say to who. Overall, this place rarely fails to dissapoint.
Great club, rare to find full nude and alcohol. As for the girls, it is relatively typical of most strip clubs, there will be one or two hot ones, the rest are OK, and a few that shouldn't be there.
The atmosphere is more like a real club. It is quite clean, a bit loud, and a bit rowdy. It may be hard to find a seat on the weekend because it tends to be packed.
It costs 9 to get in. Drinks are about the same price as they'd be at another bar.
All in all, I have seen better, and I have seen worse. Just plan on waiting for the girl you want a private dance from because they will be grabbed before you can get to them because of how packed it gets.
This club has really deteriorated lately. The quality of dancers has gone way down and there seems to be no comraderie within the staff (employees). It also takes way to long to get served a drink.
Went in on a saturday a couple weeks ago. Packed so tight it brought back my worst nightmares of the Masters in Myrtle beach during golf season. Don't get too excited about them serving alcohol, you'll never get served and can't get to the bar when it's like this. Pretty darn good though in terms of dancers and dances. Stage is pretty hard to see when it gets busy, and if you're lucky enough to get a seat at the tip rail no one (i.e. dancers or waitresses) can get to you through the crowd. 40 dancers there that night ( I heard the bouncer's count) and for the most part uniformly good looking. Lots of different types, mostly 7's or so, couple 8's and only 1 or two I'd rate a 5 or 6. Private dances where 160/half hour. A pretty good deal and the dances were decent even by Tampa's skewed standards. I had 2 private dances, both from filipinas. There were plenty of others I would have liked to buy dances frombut it just wasn't possible under the circumstances. Seriously at one point you couldn't get a dancers attention short of tripping her.
On the way out the doormen said Sundays were better, same roster of dancers without the crowds.
I hadn't been to this club for a while, and though there'd been a lot of turnover in the girls, the replacements were wonderful. A trip with Faith to the Champagne Room will not disappoint. They seem to have taken the curtains down in the back permanently, and have placed a bouncer by the door - but he seemed to be there mainly as a guard, not to police the activity. He didn't bother us even though the private dance was way more "progressive" than I'd experienced in the past even with the curtain. The club seems to keep getting more popular, even on a weekday afternoon it's fairly crowded, but they've added a new parking lot - fenced and secure, but not visible from the street. Lots of girls, drinks are reasonable, and the place is clean and classy. Still my favorite club.
Visited on Thursday, 3/10 on my annual Spring Training/Strip Club sojurn. I always base in Tampa and usually head to Ybor and 2001. This year, I decided to try BA after reading the glowing reviews.
After going well out of the way (and spending 45 minutes on US 19 stuck behind an overturned SUV), I was fairly disappointed. I wasn't that I had a bad experience, just that it didn't live up to my expectations based on the reviews here.
Inside is as described elsewhere. L-shaped, small stage. Fortunately it wasn't too crowded at 8:00 when I arrived, but the place was full by the time I left a couple hours later. Probably 15 dancers or so, although I'm sure I didn't see them all. Mostly 6-7, one 3 and one 9 thrown in. Almost all had tattoos (deduction) and most of the chests were artificial (deduction). I was lucky enough to find a delightfully thin brunette (Tiffany?) with long hair, long legs, and no tattoos. Took advantage of a 3 for 50 topless and then proceeded to the private room for 160. Although certainly enjoyable, there wasn't really any difference in the dances between the topless and the private. Save your $ and stick with the topless.
In my book, all clubs start with a 10 (Superior) and I deduct as needed from there. For Bare Assets:
-1.5 for the too-loud music (couldn't hear on the drive back!)
-2 for the artificialness of the girls. I'd rather dance with a girl who's less-gifted up top, versus one that is obviously and disproportionately fake.
-.5 for overall, not quite meeting expectations.
Overall minus 4, for a score of 6. Who knows, I may have just hit an off night. Not a bad place by any stretch, but I doubt if I'd go out of my way to it again.
The place serves alcohol at decent prices, has a low cover charge, and has decent (though not stellar) talent dancing. Full contact topless and nude lap dances too. This place is now #3 in the area behind Mons and 2001 because the talent's not as good as at those clubs. However, Ybor Strip's going down because of the unpopular changes they've made to the club recently so Bare Assets vaults past YS as far as clubs to go to.
Can hardly believe the review that URDADDY posted a few down from here. My experience was totally the opposite of his. I thought the girls were great and plentiful in number, but I was there in the afternoon only, and I do realize that a lot depends on the time of day and the number of customers. When I was there, the audience was small, and it was easy to get right up close to the stage. And I do mean CLOSE -- I had my nose within a couple of inches of raw pussy of two different girls and they seemed really matter of fact about it. Both of these girls were nines and I felt like I was in seventh heaven. Also I was favorably impressed with the decor and furnishings, and of course since it was so early in the day, there was no cover. A beautiful blond with humongous tits offered to just sit and visit with me but I was too obsessed with the stage action to take her up on the offer. Figured I could do it later, but later never came, as I had several other "US 19 Nude Likker Clubs" to check out. The drinks were reasonably priced. I think a bottle of beer was only $3 but it might have been $4. I remember the bartender was sweet, friendly, and good looking. Sorry I can't comment on the private dances -- didn't spring for any, in spite of good intentions. If I had, it might have been a real ripoff, and this place would have gotten a lower score.
I was on a rare Florida west coast biz trip and decided to see how these Pasco clubs measured up. I hit B.A. about 9PM on a weeknight and found the club pretty busy. This is how good strip clubs used to be. Fairly nice upscale decor, lots of guys, lots of dancers, music too loud, and the girls hot. I'd say the eye-candy at this place was better than most, especially lately (since it seems a growing number of fat girls are trying to make it as strippers). I saw several dancers on stage as well as milling about in the club I'd like to get next to. The stage area is small as previous reviewers have said. I don't think there's room for more than about 8 guys total to sit at a tip rail. I found a nice tall chair/table about 10 feet from the center entrance to the stage. I could see OK. I'd rather have been closer since the girls I saw on stage were quite hot and gave some very interesting "rewards" to those guys smart enough to tip (kind of reminded me of how they used to come offstage and give a "mini-lap" for your $1 tip at the old Peek-A-Boo down in West Palm Beach a few years ago). After about 20 minutes of hanging loose and enjoying the stage show I was approached by a nice looing blonde (Christina?). We chatted and after a while she explained the private dance options. Twenty dollar topless laps in a common area shared by others getting topless laps, 40-per nude in a more private booth, or 160 for 30 minutes in the private booth but this included drinks. I splurged for the 30 minutes, but for future reference, I'd wait for a 2-fer special or just do a couple of dances. She spent as much time yakking as she did lapdancing and the lap dance, although nude, was no different than any other lapdance. Next time, I'd have a better time taking 4 different girls back for 1 nude lapdance for the same overall expense. Cover charge was $9, with a $1 tip to the lady at the desk.
I'll re-visit when in the area, but I probably would not drive all the way over here from Tampa. It's not that different.
As good, if not better, than any club in Tampa. The only negative was that I got there late on a Friday night (1:00) and they close at 2:00. The club was full, lots of people sitting watching the main stage and the side stage. Probably about 20 dancers working. Not a lot of hustle but maybe because it was the end of the night?
Visited club on Wed 3/2 around 330pm. Small club, on a very busy road. Was the busiest I have ever seen a club at that time of day. At least 15 dancers on duty. most were 7 & 8's. stage is floor level. two song sets, first is topless, 2nd is nude. some girls are more aggressive on stage than others. stage tipping is between the boobs. some girls were obviously silicone. as soon as i sat down, a skinny, average looking girl sat down next to me and asked me if I wanted a dance. when I said that I had just gotten there, she asked me for a tip and pulled her bikini up. I said maybe next time. Not a good start. Watched 2 or 3 girls before a really good looking blonde came up to me and asked me if i wanted a dance. did not get her name. she was older and told me to guess her age. Politely I started at 30 and she called me a liar. I went to 35 and that is when she pointed out another dancer and said it was her daughter. come to find out she is 43. looks very good for 43. told i just turned 44 last week and she offered me a 241 in the topless room. The topless room are $20 per song The decor is a set of soft chairs and sofas and is very public. contact was high, unlimited touching up top. decent grindage on the member. not bad for $20. When i came out, I watched a littel wildcat on stage. short curly hair, glasses. not afraid to bend over and spread them wide for a tip. The next girl was a bigger, older girl, who wasn't gorgeous, but had that super sexy look, with big natural boobs. her name was Paige. Tipped her a couple of times at the stage and when she came down she said thanks and asked me if I wanted company. She said she had to go to the ladies room. I told her I would like a dance when she got back. While she was gone they did a "Showtime" 241 and she came and got me. I decided to go for the $40 241 in the nude room. Paige said it was much more fun and I agree. The nude dances are done in a more private booths in the back of the bar. she told me to get comfortable and do whatever i wanted. the dance was hot, unlimited touching on my part,up and down. she worked my member thru my pants like a pro. had to really concentrate so i didn't make a mess in my new slacks. when she climbed up on the couch and straddled my face, she seemed to really enjoy my oral technique. during the third song, she asked me if I wanted her to sit or stand. I said it was her choice. she said she like standing better and i spent most of the song with my mouth plastered to her crotch. I paid her $80 for the three songs and tipped her a 20. Was a great dance. Club is kind of far away from Tampa proper, but well worth the trip.
I was visiting the Tampa area for a few days last week and had read the reviews for this place which seemed to be pretty good reviews. After visiting this club early on Saturday evening, I had to come back and read the reviews again because I thought I had the wrong place. My experience at this club was horrible. My friend and I got there just a short while before 6. There was no cover (thank goodness....I would have had to ask for a refund!) The club is very dark inside, and very smoky. The inside of the club is set up in an "L" shape, with the stage in the very corner. The stage is very small. Around that are small round tables, with easy-chairs (small, hotel sized) . The table were not spread about, but bunched up in several groups. It would be very hard for more than a few guys to be able to sit around the stage area to see anything.
We sat a the closest table that was available without it being bunched up together (there would be one guy sitting in a chair with 3 or four tables and sveral chairs.) We could not see any of the stage action. We decided to wait around and see if anyone moved so that we could get there spot, or see if we could get any personal entertainment. Sevral girls walked back and forth, only one approached us. She was maybe a 2....made me think of deliverance. She explained the different dances ($20 topless, $40 nude, $160 for 1/2 hour) and then left (thank goodness!) Not another one approached us for 45 minutes. A couple of nice lookers were there.
I have been to a lot of clubs, this one is a complete waste of time.
Good reviews prompted me to go out of my way to check this club out. The US 19 traffic is some of the worst in the state but the effort was rewarded with a fine & unexpected experience.
As noted by several reviewers, the club is fairly small, dark, & L-shaped, with the main stage at the corner. Although it was late Friday afternoon, the place was already full (no afternoon cver- Tampa clubs take note). I squeezed in near the small back stage.
I began to get oriented and mentally compared the wood-paneled decor to the sadly missed Tanga Lounge when who should appear but the petite & lovely Janice, a dear friend from the golden age of the Tanga! Since the private dance which followed had as much conversation about mutual acquaintances as it did bumpng & grinding, I can't give a good analysis of the mileage available, but I sure plan to return for more study.
Excillent place, i think the key word is full, full nude, full liquer and full contact. This was only my second experience to a club like this but i have to say, by far, i will be returning.
Imagine a full nude Florida strip club, with booze. That's what I discovered yesterday. Now I realize that this is not an original discovery, but I was delighted, especially after the two for one I had from Page.
It's a mediom sized club, dark atmosphere, but when your eyes adjust, you they are filled with candy. Dancers range from a few 3s to a few 9s with a nice assortment in between.
They have two dance levels a semi-public topless dance for $20 and an almost private nude for $40. I was sitting at one of those stool tables when this gorgeous tall dancer, page, walks by, snuggles up and makes me feel very comfortable. We chat for a bit and she tells me that they are lining up for a two for one. She explains the difference between the topless and nude dance, and by this time I have fallen in lust. So I figured, it's a 2 for 1, so what the hell, she says she has to line up, and I tell her to hurry back.
I didn't partake of any topless dances, but I can tell you that the nude dances were well worth the cost. I'll be back there Monday on my way home, I only regret I don't live near Holiday, FL.
Some info that was left out of my previous reviews of this club. First dancer I asked about the dances told me that she would not go to nude room without getting to know me by doing a topless dance first for $20, then the nude dance for $40. Friend I was with asked for dances from Kera and he went to VIP topless room first, then did 2 nude dances with her so $100 was spent right away and then $160 with her in the champagne room. He did another champagne room visit with another dancer-looked Oriental/Asian to me-and then he did 2 nude dances with Fatima twice and finished up the evening with topless dance with Vanity. The treatment he got from her was just as good he said as a full nude dance as she pulled out willy, pulled aside her bottom and rubbed it on her pussy. He told her to let him sticj it in but she said "No penetration".
He said Fatima allowed lots of contact in nude room but not like Vanity in topless room.
Vanity & Fatima both did topless 2 for 1's even tho 2 for 1 wasn't announced. Didn't ask but wonder if there would do 2 for 1 in nude room. You have to give the door guy $10 & dancer gets $30 so don't know if 2 for 1 would work or not.
Ask for Vanity & Fatima and go on a weeknite when it's not as crwded as the weekends.
Rating is due to Vanity not being there when I went back. Place was packed on Fri nite. Fatima was there along with new faces and hot bodies. Got a 2 for 1 from Fatima with adult DVD on announced 2 for 1. Good deal. She didn't seem to be as enthusiastic as she was Thurs. Hope to get back to this club in the future. Good-looking women at this club. Staff very friendly and recognized when we went back tonite(Fri). Highly recommended.
Friend & I on the way to Univ of SC-FL football game alway swing thru Tampa on the way to Gainesville. At the rommendation of Angelina who dances at Platinum Plus in Columbia, SC, decided to check this place out. It's too bad we didn't get there until Thurs as Angelina was working there from Sun to Wed this week & would have loved to have seen her naked & tried full contact nude dance with her but oh well, I was not disappointed with the dancers at this club, especially Vanity & Fatima. Vanity has her pubic hair in a V. I asked her if that was V for victory and she said for Vanity! What was I thinking? She's a slim light skinned Puerto Rican girl who lives in Tampa and has danced at Mons Venue & Ybor Strip but saw relatives in the clubs so wanted to get out of her own backyard.
The club has VIP room, a VIP couch area that is open, a full nude room where you are undistrubed & in complete privacy & a champagne room where there is complete privacy for 30 minutes with a drink for you & the dancer. Topless dances are $20, full nue is $40 and the chmpagne room is $160.
On one announced 2 for 1, you got an adult DVD and on the next one, a long sleeve club t-shirt good for free admission on Sundays.
I missed a chance for 2 for 1 with Vanity and later when I told her that, she said she would do a 2 for 1 and it was H-O-T-T with hands up the shorts to rub willy and then unzip the fly to give willy even more attention. Did get to rub the kitty(even kissed on a little) and squeeze those natural boobs. Did not even think to ask her if she would do 2 for 1 in nude room and I'm kicking my butt because she said she won't be at work Friday.
Tried 2 for 1 with Fatima, exotic creature from Brazil. Wore a mesh body stocking that showed all of her assetts. Got to rub the kitty and feel the enhanced boobs and her fine, fine ass.
If you donw in the Tampa-St Pete area this club is defintely worth a visit. I do hope to get back there really soon!
Long drive over from Tampa. But wanted to check this place out. Had heard good things and was not disappointed. Club is small and was packed to the rafters. At least 15-20 women(maybe more) but it was so crowded it was hard to get a good count. A bachelor was on stage getting his cummupance from 4 girls and his buddies were hoopin and hollerin...Oh boy. Saw a couple of familiar dancers from the old days. One from Ybor Strip and one from Pink Pony. Got a dance in the booth area in the back. $160 for the half hour. I did that only because the LD area was too crowded. I need to go back again on a little slower night just to get a better feel for the place. I was told that weekend nights were always very busy so maybe a weeknight might get you more attention.
Every time that my husband and I visit there we have a blast! Tons of drink specials, mostly hot chicks, DJ Jeff V. rocks, and Brenda the bartender is hot and really cool. Unfortunately, this place is really dark and small and parking is limited - but be prepared to have a good night!
Decent club. Kind of a small town vibe. Quality of girls ranges wildly depending on what night you are there. I'd say on almost any night, they average 5-9. "Quality" of the dances is different w/ all girls. No more curtain in the back VIP, so nothing too severe can happen in the back. Don't waste any money on a $40 nude dance. Stick w/ the $20 topless. If the girl is fun, they offer a $160 per 1/2 hour, which is nude. Way better deal, and you get a set of drinks! Nice bonus.
A correction to my last posting. Apparently they put the curtains up in the daytime, and take them down during the evening shift. The daytime is calmer and I guess the customers are better behaved, hence earning the right to the extra privacy. I like the daytime better anyway!
As an update - the curtains are back in the VIP area! Like the prior reviewer, I was disappointed to see them go and am thrilled that management decided to restore them. The extra privacy is welcome!
This comments cover two visits about 8 weeks apart. 1st time one of the most enjoyable clubs I've been at. Even thought the VIP room as worth the 150 for half hour as the girl was enjoying herself and time wasn't an issue.
Most recent visit about three weeks ago enjoyued time with kya in the afternoon, but discovered the curtains in the rooms had beeen removed and the DJ or manager were now tracking time. As a left checked my watch and found he wasn't very good at it my half-hour was more like 20-25 minutes. 2 for 1 dances offer good value and some dancers seem willing to talk.
Prior trips average a 9 most recent visit a 5 for the blended 7. Time to head back across the bay or go for a more economical Personalities.
Great Club - All the girls are 8 plus and the staff is excellent. Most of the girls are centerfold material. Drink prices aren't totally off the charts as most strip clubs. I would reccoment this club to anyone living in Tampa Bay or traveling to the area. It's worth it. Definatly time and money well spent in a club that's full liquor and full nude too.
I go to BA fairly regularly and the place definitely grows on you if you take the time to get to know the girls. I rarely visit at night, so this is a "dayshift" review. BA is relaxed and friendly - plus clean (even with the lights turned up) and comfortable. Beer is reasonably priced and most of the girls are happy to chat without hitting you up for drinks or dances constantly. Kind of like Cheers, with tits. At least by day there seems to be very little turnover so the girls must like it and they've told me the manager treats them well. You don't hear any fighting among the girls, either. The majority of the girls have natural breasts, are slim and athletic enough to be able to do gymnastics on the pole during their stage dances - 7's, 8's and 9's,for the most part. Nice stage setup, BTW, fairly well lit.
Lots of favorites - Kayla and Kimmy are young, cute and hot as can be. But I agree with an earlier post in saying that Asia is the star - she's 19, exotic, beautiful, and has a body that you could never get tired of (including the nicest set of tits I've seen in years). You have to see her stage dances to believe them - NEVER seen anyone do those moves on a pole before - a testament to those tight thigh and stomach muscles. And she's nice! Definite 10.
The champagne room in the back is definitely the way to go, BTW. Small rooms each with a black leather love seat, end table and lamp. Plenty of light and a curtain pulled tight for privacy. At $150 for a half hour (drinks are more) it's a great deal.
I like BA better than the places in Hillsborough County, but I'm biased because I live in Northern Pinellas Co. - and it's nice to be able to get a beer with your dance.
