the ultimate strip club list

October 12, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 285

This place was great although it wasnt a tru lap dance club. Girls in bikinis did their best to grind it out for $10 a song. Huge expose on the news and the girls havnt been back since. Can i have a dance with that slice?

I found this place only a few years ago, three years ago the most and back then it was $5 a "lapdance" but it is a reach to call it a real "lapdance" because the place is as big as a broom closet jam packed with guys that it is almost impossible to get a stool for your dance. Key word here is stool, not chair. The point being that you are virtually standing straight up when receiving your dance. It is not an actual lapdance more like a wall-dance but it is almost impossible to gain any real worthwhile grinding because of the standing combined with the over crowed jam-packed sardine can you are in. about a year and a half ago the girls started getting $10 for the dance. This was born out of a new popularity the place had gained that brought in guys used to paying more money then what the girls expected. I am now shocked to here anyone paying $20 for a dance here. The place really exist for those who have little money. Most guys will leave after just one beer because it is so small and so packed and hard to get a dance.

This place is not a strip club as they girls are always in bikinis at a minimum, however there are vvery few places left that you can hang with the dancers like here. they just want to chill and give an occasional $10 dance that if your lucky will be higher milage than anything you will ever get at the mainstream places. A bit thuggish as far as the crowd goes but overall well behaved... The girls are almost all comubianos and most are quite hot. Best time is late afternoon . Weekends are dead this is a wall strreet after work joint..

The place is located through and opaque-ish door at the back of a deli right next door to the Pussycat Lounge (left side). It is typically packed w/ the downtown blue-collar crowd. On average about 4 girls work, but its such a sausage-fest it's hard to get a dance in.

The gals all pretty cute latinas and wear skimpy not-quite-bikini outfits. The lapdances are run between $10-20 depending on who you get, and are usually heavy on the grindage. Unfortunately the clothes stay on, but they may give you a peek every now and again. Roaming is usually available, but ymmv.

First time here. Arrived at 8 PM. Paid $10 cover. Coronas were $8, which is not bad at all.

Dancers were on a platform behind the bar, that was as long as the bar, with mirrors behind them. The dancers I saw didn't seem to move very well on stage. I didn't particularly enjoy watching them. I would rate most dancers a 5, with one possibly being a 6. All natural, half of the girls had breasts on the smaller side. I did see a couple of fairly cute (face) petite Latin girls.

The dancers I met, they were generally friendly, but most didn't come around to my side of the bar. I saw many just standing around or just lying down at the end of the stage. But I did see some customers and dancers actually dancing to the music on the bar floor, having a good time.

To be honest, I am not sure how these girls make money. I tipped a few girls, arkwardly reaching over the bar to give money to the girls on stage. Is that how they make most of their money?

I think I read here that there is a second floor, but I did not see the stairs for it. Maybe it was closed off.

Note, as a club, I rated it a 5, but as a neighborhood bar, I would probably rate it a couple points higher (if I ignored the $10 cover).

I would probably come back one more time to see what this club is really about. I feel I missed something this first time around. I would like to see how the lap dances are.


The Pussycat Lounge is a strange place with a strange appeal. Appropriately located downtown-- about 2 blocks south of Ground Zero and a few blocks west of Wall Street-- it is smack-dab in between, a bodega/mart + next door adult store and a sometimes hot hip-hop/latin dance club (Remi Lounge). A parking garage (Battery Parking) is on the block south of it all. Walk in and it's "not your brother's strip club" (maybe your dads). Long bar, chicks dancing, takin' bills. That's it. No dances. Women are 5-8 (with a few 9's). But it has a strange appeal. A boss from London was in town and this was the perfect "safe house" -- not too raunchy but enough nice bodies and beer to keep it fun. If he wanted to step it up a notch, there was New York Dolls, Hustler Club, or Scores... where did Harmony Club and Dangerous Curves go? Why oh why?! :( The pull that made it a little better was the fact that when the girls aren't dancing, they might pull up a stool, eat some food and hangout. Again, no dances... just some cute women and chit-chat... your mileage may vary. With the right chemistry: REAL phone numbers. I could've driven a chick home (she was a town away from me... but boss wanted more bars and more booze). But you have to bring your A-game. Wall Street guys will do much better. (Especially, if you have a 1/32nd share in a summer home in The Hamptons... but it will HAVE to include INDOOR BATHROOM privileges.)

The place remains very popular even without any kind of lap dances or table dances. The place is very simple with a long stage that exists across from the long bar. You'll have girls in front of you at all times who will expect one dollar tips but wont be offended if you don't tip. Most girls are average at best but they do sometimes have a hot one or two. Free pizza in the afternoon.

The Pussycat Lounge is the last of the old neighborhood bars in Downtown Manhattan near the World Trade Center site. It is nothing special - just a long bar with girls dancing behind it. The girls are mostly average. However, the Club is a welcome relief from all the high priced and high pressure Clubs in Manhattan. Republican Mayor Guiliani got rid of most of the neighborhood strip clubs, and then Republican Mayor Bloomberg and his Billionaire's Club replaced them with Gentlemen's Clubs that are looking to grab your American Express card and "bang you hard" with a bill upwards of a thousand dollars!

Another plus is that upstairs is a rock-n-roll club so on the weekends you can switch back and forth between the tittie bar and the live rock club.

Can't figure this place out. They'll book the death-metal-comedy band Haunted Pussy, other times it's dead. Daytime it's squeaky clean; at night, they'll tell you over the phone there are private dances, but I haven't trudged down to that area — less than 2 short blocks directly south of the enormous hole that is still Ground Zero — to find out. I hear this was a comfort zone for some after the catastrophe.

Good club to have a drink and look at some hot women. No private dances, just a long bar with a stage running the length of the bar with 2, 3 or 4 dancers at once. not bad for a quick visit. not if looking for private dances

Came here for the first time on a Saturday Night, didn't know know what to expect. Guy at the door asked me which party i was here for and I was like wtf, I don't know so he just said straight ahead to the bar. Got in saw about 4-5 girld dancing on this thin stage behind the bar. Dancers were about 5-6, the bartenders were cuter. No cover, cheap beer didn't stick around long enough to get approached by a dancer. I guess its a cool place to just get a drinkor two and unwind

I stopped in for just a few minutes late one Saturday night recently. No cover, which was nice. Maybe 7-8 dancers on a raised stage behind the bar...within arm's reach so you can tip them, but not so close you can get a lapdance. I'm not even sure they give lapdances at this place, although that seems strange. Ethnic variety was nice, girls were mostly 7's although there was one who made my jaw drop to the floor. Not sure what the deal with the lapdances is, but I didn't stick around long enough to ask. If you happen to be in the neighborhood, I'd recommend this place.
