the ultimate strip club list

September 6, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 249

Just to clarify some of the previous reviews: this place is a jack-shack. The facility itself is a disgusting old building, although it is surrounded by swank restaurants just west of downtown Chicago. The dancers are the bottom rung, as you would expect from a place like this. There is not pretense that this is anything other than a jack-shack, so they deliver as promised, but to me this is just about the worst SC experience you can find.

I arrived here on Tuesday around 3 in the afternoon a few weeks back. I seemed to be the only customer in the dingey lobby. I gazed around a little bit and decided to pay the fee for the window show. After I paid, i was informed that there was only 1 dancer for the next hour. I was kind of ticked off, but saw the show anyways. There lone dancer was a flat chested brunette, maybe a 3 at best. She gave me a bit of a woody with her moves, so I tipped her a $5 and she just kept doing the same lame moves. Once the lights went out, I decided to leave and vow to never return back to paradox again.

This, one must admit, is a strange place, and I keep coming back when my favorite dances are on duty. Johanna is the one I really like. Cute, curvy, and a very good dancer, and for a not very large tip is happy to allow and provide two way contact. I always enjoy a visit to this place when certain girls are dancing. For those not familiar with the area, it looks a little scary but its not, and the parking is safe.

This is not a place where you can get lap dances. The place is definitely tawdry, but possibly interesting, depending on the girl. You have three options here. 20 bucks to stand in a small booth for about a half hour, while the girls take turns coming out, one at a time, and gyrating on a dance pole. You are behind glass and giving the girl tips to keep up the act or make it more interesting. Second you can have a VIP booth, where the girl, again behind glass, dances only for you. That 25 bucks for about 10 minutes ( think) and you give girls tips, again, to get them to do more interesting things or be more inspired in their dance. Last, you have a windowless booth where you are standing at a lower level than the girl, and she is behind widely spaced bar. You pay 75 bucks for this and you get about 10 minutes. Depending on what the girl lets you do you can touch her a lot, and she can touch you. Girls do vary in terms of what they will do and it is not unusual to get things taken care of for a tip (beyond the 75 that you pay to the house) of about 75. Some of the girls are very, very pretty with extraordinary bodies, and some girls are the opposite. Yesterday, there was a beautiful girl and she gave me some really good pets in the right places.

NOT A STRIP CLUB THIS IS A PEEP SHOW you stand in a small booth with 6 inches of glass between you and the girl and you feed her cash definately not worth what they require and yest i said require you to pay a toatl rip off I will never get caught in that web of lies again. I mena they force you to double your investment you have to tip the girl exactly what you paid the house for the show and i mena you cannot even touch or barely hear her your better bet is scarletts just up the street a bit save your money.

This Place is Scary! Im a college student looking to make some extra cash. I called and the guy was Super nice. So I stopped in and the place smelled like fish and feet. The place is a total joke. I wouldn't show my tits there if it was the last club on earth. It was a fat old guy who actually had the nreve to try to critique me. I walked in and outta there in about 5 minutes. Guys if you're looking for a good time, pass this place up.

This place is pathetic. Once you enter there is an old fat guy smoking behind a ticket booth. You have to pay to enter and you get to go into one of the booths to see a show. It is a standard peep show with the glass and the dollar slots. The girls will not accept one's, and will only take tips of 5 or more. I saw 2 different different girls, a nasty redhead, and an extremely hot brunette with big fake tits. I don't recommend this place at all, just stay at home and watch a movie.

Went to this club as part of my quest to check out the strip clubs in the chicago area. I heard mixed reviews about club paradox. The club is located in a dirty run down building. You walk in and there is a guy standing behind a glass window, like at a movie theater. There are pictures of two girls on a board. After looking at the pictures I asked for a show from the redhead. After paying $75 for the windowless show I was directed to a little room where a girl that wasn't the one that I picked out came in. She asked for a tip of atleast $50 before she'd even take her clothes off. This place is a total rip off. Stay away

I don't know if this really counts as a review since I didn't get past the guy behind the bullet-proof glass. I guess that's up to the founder.

I stopped in about 5:30pm on a Thursday. The guy behind the glass explained it's not a sit-down bar with drinks or food. Just booths. (I'm thinking jack-off booths.) There's three levels of service: $25 or $35 gets you a booth where you can watch the dancer through glass, $75 gets you into the same room with the dancer, no glass. I asked about contact: response was that it depends on the dancer and the tip. Tips start at about $50 and, of course, the implication is the bigger the tip the more mileage.

He said there were three girls to choose from and their pictures were taped on the wall beside the bullet-proof glass. Looked like pictures cut out of magazines so these women must be professionals of some sort. Not unattractive but not great either.
