the ultimate strip club list

October 15, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 288

Out of the way is putting it kindly. I went by this club about 4 times while I was in town. It was open once. Other times I almost hit a deer, nearly got flagged for speeding trying to outpace cars that decided to tail me after I left the parking lot (who knows what the Hillsborough chapter of the young moonshiners brigade were doing there at that hour), and came face to face with a huge ass confederate flag when I turned down the wrong driveway my first time through. So you might think that I'd scratch this place off the list after such wonderful luck. Fear not, true believers, this is the only after hours spot in that part of NC so I didn't have shit else to do other than sleep. Since sleep is overrated, I gave it one more shot and when I got there Thursday around 3AM it was actually open. Did it live up to the hype?

This place is a little on the stark side when you walk in. Whether or not the place is always deserted when you first walk I couldn't tell you, but at 4AM the place looks like a ghost town in the first room you go into (the one with the juice bar). Think it's BYOB. At some point I figured out that there are two other rooms (there's a large room at the far end of the club past a very dark middle room where some of the staff sits). Once in the back, there is a stage area out in the middle. One bit of a surprise is that this was a black club. One white dancer so far as I could tell (red hair, nice body but not so great up top) and some customers but almost everyone else was black. Because of the town and what I'd seen driving around this was a little surprising, but the place was pretty laid back and seemed like safety really wasn't an issue. Security was present and pretty laid back.

The place doesn't serve alcohol so hanging out by the abandoned bar in the back only held so much appeal. One strange thought that I had was the back area of the club reminded me of the old lunch room/auditorium combination I used to see at a couple of my old schools. A little eerie, but watching some of the female customers giving lapdances brought me back to the present. The girl I was most interested in was in street clothes and seemed to be done for the night, so I was scanning around for someone else who'd catch my eye. Someone (name starts with a D I think) walks up and doesn't look too bad, maybe a smidgen bigger than I tend to prefer but ok. Chatted her up for few minutes then decide to take a pass. See another gal past her sitting against the wall who seems like a better option. Then she starts to fuss. Apparently she doesn't like the amount of tip she's getting to walk on ($5) or the fact I don't want a dance.

Random tidbit, these days I (and other folks I've chatted to at random in the hobby) are no fans of big metal braces on dancers. Some of it goes back to those urban legends you hear on the playgrounds and the locker room, and for those of us unlucky enough it goes to knowing that some of them are true. Sure, in the right hands (or whatever) almost nothing is a problem, but for first impressions they're a major no-no in the business. Think clear ceramic. Think invisalign. Think of something that might help a guy take a chance when facing a pushy and impolite hard sell rather than convincing him not to let those things anywhere near him. But moving on...as the fussy one walks off I make eye contact with a curvy gal in a fishnet bodysuit who had just shooed away another customer. Had a fairly common name as I recall, but it still escapes me now. Maybe started with a P. She walks up, and turns out she'd been dancing off and on for while. Not unattractive in the face, but not a rookie. Really stacked. Didn't take long to decide for a dance around back.

The VIP area is off on the right when you first walk in, but is not obvious. You will walk up to the counter with the dancer, the manager will collect some upfront cash for use of the space (something nominal and not too bad, $20-30) and what you get around the corner is a choice of couch sized booths with a glass coffee table in front. It helps to have a place to set all of the crap you may or may not have in your pockets and your drink. They don't serve liquor but you can get non-alky beverages at the juice bar. Think I had water since I'd been needing to detox for hours by then. But I doubt any of you reading this far will care about that. The couches are well used and you'll sink right in. The songs run full length here and I don't even remember if there's a time limit. It's pretty much up to you and the girl to decide how long you want to stay back there and it's fairly private. Think I saw cameras but also got the impression they were mostly for show. Dances are full nude and the gal I was with was not shy at all. Had loads of fun just with the basic dance package and I'd come again if in driving distance (Greensboro, Raleigh-Durham, etc).

Like the mileage and entertainment value, not so much the location and the limited hours.

Visted last week. Paid the usually $15 memebr charge. $20 non member. Mostly Black girls working. Only one other patron at 11. 7 dancers floating around. Some of the girls look fresh off the street ( crack head ho's). Lap dances in VIP run $40 for house and $20 per song. Everything appears to be on the table depending on tip. Table dance are $10 a piece not much action there. This Club to a throw back to the classic Durham clubs. Brothers 3 and Royle.

I visited The Platinum last Wed, Jan 9, about 10 PM. Cover charge was $20, BYOB, only set ups and near beer are sold. The building and parking lot are quite large but with a small weeknight crowd only 1 of several rooms in the clubs was open. Only 3 dancers were working, and a handfull of customers. Just to get this out of the way, I am white, and on this occasion all of the dancers and other customers were black. Everyone was friendly to me and I never felt uncomforatable. Enough said.
As I mentioned, there were three dancers working. One was so-so looking and seemed to be new to dancing. When she was on stage she didn't take anything off. The other two were smokin hot... big, natural boobs with tiny waist and long legs.
I was told there is a VIP room which can be had for a $40 house fee, but I didn't partake.
Table dances were $10, and I tried all three dancers. YMMV definitely applied here. The (I assume) new dancer's dance was all air, at least in the 1 dance that I bought from her. Bachelorette number 2 gave great 1 way grinding, was topless, and frequently flashed her goodies. I enjoyed 4 dances from her. My favorite was immediately buck naked and began straddling me... what a performance. God bless her, I couldn't leave until that young lady had all of my money.

Went back to The Platinum last Thursday. Boy I wish it was no so far to drive. Chatted with Isis (or Icy) and had a couple of VIP dances. Good action and free roaming. She had a mini vibrator she likes to use and have customers use on her.

After those dances I went back to the main room and was joined by, I never got her name. She claimed to have danced for me before (but I knew she had not) and that we were naughty in the VIP room. We went to the VIP for a few dances that were outstanding. this girl has the softest lips and tongue I have ever encountered. I highly recommend her. I did not get her name, but if you pick up the magazine that advertises NC strip clubs she is the girl whose face is at the top of their ad.

There were at least 10 girls and 6 customers this time. There were three white girls, one too skinny and two too heavy for my taste. The black girls generally 7's and 8's.

Went by about 11:00 pm on a Thursday. 7or 8 girls and maybe 3 guys, I may have been the only customer. Had a VIP dance with Sherry that was just what I needed.

This is predominately a black club (there was one white dancer) but after the pat down I was very comfortable, mainly because of the hot way I was treated at the stage. I will go back because, as the song says, i'll "get a little something that I can't get at home".

Went in on a Saturday Night recently. This club is a little out of the way, on Hwy 86 about 8 miles off I-85 in the middle of nowhere. Plenty of parking and big crowd. 95% of the dancers are black, probably 80% of the patrons are black, 15% hispanic. Despite the demographic and remote nature of the club, felt very safe and comfortable here. Club is nude, and if you are into black girls, stage shows are great. Club is very laid back. Chairs/tables around the outer edge of main room, a few TVs around. No Alcohol served. Didn't make it to the VIP room but have a feeling it might be worth the trip. I'll report more next time.

Heard about this club from a buddy of mine and had to try it out. Didn't know what to think at first, but it turned out to be a really good time. They had about 9-10 girls working that night. A couple weren't that good looking, but the rest ranged from average to quite beautiful, so it was a good mix to choose from. I enjoyed just watching the stage for awhile, then I took a 25 year old blonde beauty named Destiny to the private room for some quality lapping. I enjoyed three songs with her. She was very good, very physical, and really worked me over. She had great grinding, which gave me great sensations. She talked dirty the whole time and let me grab her ass and cup her breasts. Unfortunately at this point I was out of money, so I left, but I will be back.
