the ultimate strip club list

October 15, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 288

I went to Rhonda's on Friday night about 11:00p.m. There were 4 women in swim suits and 1 bartender in a swim suit as well. Out of all these women, only one of them was decent looking (6-7). She was the only one who actually took her top off. Other women were old (35-45 if I had to guess) and very much past their prime. Get out of the state and visit the east side if you want a good time. I don't even consider this place a strip club, I've been to parties with better looking half-naked women. The only reason I gave it a 3 instead of a 1 was because of the cheap drinks.

Stopped by here with a friend for a nightcap for the first time this week. I have only been to one other pasties bar, so was not sure what to expect.

There was one stage and a few dancers walking around. The first girl I saw dance got topless with no pasties at all, and the second girl didn't even take any articles of clothing off. Since I only was there for the last 2 dancers of the night, I have no idea what is the norm out of those two contrasting behaviors.

I must say I was surprised that a few of the girls were solid 7's, I really expected them to be dogs. I'm not sure how privates work, or if privates are even offered. From my quick survey I didn't see anyplace that they would be done at.

There was no cover charge and the beers we had were $3.50, so it was very inexpensive compared to the average strip club. I'm sure I will end up out here again in the future.

A pleasant array of young good looking girls. The stage is surrounded by a banister type barrier to keep offending patrons away from the dancers.
2 Caucasian dancers and 2 Black dancers on a Monday night; all are very good looking.
Mostly Caucasian clientele.
The beer is fairly inexpensive.
The juke box setup was a bit annoying because the dancers had to constantly feed the machine money, that the dancers obtained from different customers.
No touching of the dancers is allowed.
No lap dances; the dancers visit with the customers and chat it up while having drinks bought for them.
4 girls on a weekday night.
There's no cover charge. Three pool tables opposite the stage.
It's near the hotels to the west and south along the I270 just off a main road.
Definitely a good stop for a business traveler looking for a place to relax with a beer in hand. For a pasty bar, it's not a bad place. If you're looking for a lap dance and good physical interaction, I recommend going a bit further to East St Louis where full nudity and lap dances are to be found.

The best nights fo Rhonda's are naturally Friday and Saturday. They have a couple girls that only dance on these nights and really go the extra mile to earn thier tips. If going keep in mind that this is a pastie bar and is a bit of a hole in the wall. The girls work purely for tips so they can get a bit pushy as they circulate around the bar after thier dance. All in all with the cheap prices and good easy to access location it is a great place to go after work for a few drinks before heading home. Not really a weekend destination though. The real key is convenience.

Safe & nice area, small club with one floor level stage w/ pole and mirrors. Good ole corner bar with great bar tenders, pool, good ole boys. Mostly white clientele, white girls, some bikers but all get along.

Girls only stage dance down to g-string and pasties. Girls are nice, no ugly ones, 5-7's with an 8 once in a while. After dance girls go around for tips and spend time talking, not much rushing.

Not the east side but great for a couple of drinks, that is about it.

No cover charge.

local bar with pastie girls dancing--girls are 4-6's. Lots of tattoos, if you are into that then its ok. No touching but girls do circulate to collect the tip-toll after dancing. Went on a Tuesday night at midnight, had 3 girls. First one I saw had the nice big titties, and cute ass--little bit of extra hips on her but overall nice body--looked to be 30 yrs old maybe. Next girl was tattoo city and skinny as a rail--not my cup of tea. Ratio of girls to guys is about 3:30. Pool room in the back had more action. Overall, just another local blue-collar dive.

For what it is, this isn't too bad a place. Went in on a Wednesday night. Three girls were working. They two numbers, and wind up topless with some pasties. They perform behind a rail, and there's not much chance for interaction. After teh dance, the girls come out and work the room for tips. NO lap dances. Seems like a neighborhood bar that has the benefit of topless girls dancing in the background.

Stopped by last month for lunch, it was early in the week - Monday or Tuesday. They had some standard bar food and drinks, but nothing special. There were two dancers. Would rate one as a 2 and the other as a 5. This is a pastie club so there was only a minimal "viewing pleasure". The dancers loaded their own songs, which led to a bit of an awkward silence between sets. There was really no stage seating. There were pairs of barstool type seats each with a small bar facing the stage, with a bar in the back. On the plus side, the cost was pretty nice. Had lunch, a drink or two and watched a a few sets for less than $20. After each dance set, the dancers go around the room for a $1 tip from all the patrons. The dancers were friendly with a few regulars, but other than that they were not mingling too much around the room.

If I were to go back, I would probably try later in the week and would only go back if I was not expecting too much.

Don't waste your time. I went on a Thursday night. The place was packed, but the girls were nasty and they charged a $5 cover. It was a total let-down. If Rhonda's were a city, it would be Lametown, USA.
