the ultimate strip club list

October 15, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 288

Sunday is traditionally a slow day so there were not as many ladies on shift, but the ones they had were very friendly. This place is like a neighborhood bar, seriously, but has a dance floor in the middle of the bar (not raised). Staff are very nice, prompt and make you immediately feel as if you are one of the regulars.

I sat at the bar tipping the girls from time to time. A gorgeous ebony beauty came and sat next to me. We chatted for awhile about all manner of things. She danced some of the shifts and kept coming back.

One thing led to another and I was in the champagne room. I know they have couches for regular dancing but the place is pretty small. So the couches are literally under the nose of the security. Not that I would do anything but it definitely takes the fun out of looking at a pretty girl when you see two beefy security guys as well ;-).

So the champagne room was great. 30 minutes of all you can touch...er, I mean, all you can drink. Cost is $195 which includes the drinks. Given the $20/lap dance it seems the champagne room is actually a pretty good deal.

I'll definitely be back. This is a place you can just hang out or go out to party. The perfect blend.

7th is one of my favorite clubs. It is a typical neighborhood bar with dancers. The stage is a platform in the center of the bar. All of the chairs are barstools with most of them placed around the bar. A few are placed at separate tables that only get used when the place is real busy. Like most places, it has its up and down days where there may be as many girls as patrons. The girls dance two songs, with the second being topless. Then they circulate outside the bar area to collect tips expecting two $1 bills.

The building itself is very nondescript. Management has spent some money adding HD TVs, fixing up the bathrooms and the parking lot. But they dropped serving food which is a big downer.

A lap dance area is in a separate area that is closely monitored where the rules are no touching at a cost of $20 per dance. The chairs are comfortable and for one person only. A Champagne Court area is in another area also monitored by the security staff. But here touching is allowed except for the boobs and kitty. But I have seen these rules stretched based upon the dancer. The price is $195 for 30 minutes and is closely timed. The couches in here are the "love seat" size. There are no private rooms for either the LD or Court areas. Although champagne is offered, I have never seen anyone buy it - although I know some have.

The girls are great. Some have been at the club for a long time and others are your typical imports that stay for a few months and then move on. Ethnically they are all over the range with a range of 4 to 9. Most are in the 7ish range. There is someone there for everyone. This seems to be a real friendly group of girls who generally get along. I suspect it is a good place to work as long as they are making money.

I like afternoons since it is not as crazy and noisy as the late evenings. I seem to see some of my favorites during this time and have good experiences in the Court area. I have been coming here for some time and will continue to come.

Well not a place I will go out of my way for. Small local bar. There were 3 dancers. I would rate them between 4-6. I asked if the kitchen was open and they told me they had microvae pizza and burgers. I think I was more interested in the motorcycle race on the HD flat panel tv's. They do offer couch dances for $20 but I didn't find a girl of interest. I had 1 soda and left.

Not a place I'd make a special trip, but I had a free pass in my wallet, given to me at another club, and I was waiting for USAir to find my baggage at PHL. So a trip across town on the Surekill (I-76 if you're not aware of its local nickname) seemed in order.

I'd describe the building as unpretentious on the outside, a bit run down on the inside. Sometimes that's the recipe for a dynamite experience- it reminded me of the Waldorf, Maryland clubs of the 1980's. But it was just dead. Half a dozen guys mostly watching the Flyers lose, half a dozen dancers mostly taking it off on stage and making their tip rounds because that's their job. One tall blonde (Vanity?) had the body and personality to make it downtown or across the river, but the rest were worth a couple of dollars to be polite, no more.

In fairness, it was Monday night, and it's probably a whole different story if you're a regular like some of the previous reviewers. I might try again on a weekend if in the area, but not with high expectation.

A small place and a little run down looking but don't be put off. The quality of girls varies wildly but there are some very hot girls here.
The girls dance a set on a stage behind the bar and then come around to collect tips for the show, customers are expected to tip a couple of bucks for each girl each time she comes around. There is a $20 couch dance area which is not remotely private and you have a bouncer barking at you to "keep your hands on the chair". The VIP is $195 for 30 minutes, hands on and the bouncer doesn't pay much attention.
Girls don't hustle too much here, it's fairly relaxed and very friendly, more of a local bar vibe.

Friendliness of most dancers is what makes this place enjoyable. Still lame excuse for a couch dance at $20with "keep your hands on the chair," discourages trips to the back. Carlee, a Swedish newbie, is great until you stop tipping, then she gets nasty and calls you names. Fortunately she won't last long there. Sydney, Ava, and the cast of longtime entertainers still has regulars returning. Lunchtime used to be better, but it has deteriorated past the point of being inviting. I'd rather not go than go at lunchtime these days.

I'm so pissed at this joint. It used to be a local strip club (read - no cover charge). The last time I walked in, I managed to avoid the bouncer taking the cover (he must have been in the shitter). So I'm sitting at the bar and the bartender has the balls to yell at me that they have a two drink minimum.....I'm pissed. Fuck the minimum, who do they think they are? The talent has always been good...not too much plastic, but I miss the friendly attitude and the wormth of a neighborhood strip club.

Quality of entertainers has increased but rules are still enforced in the couch dance room. The mgt. should realize what an opportunity they are missing by not loosening up. Girls are very friendly - once they get to know you. Ava and Sarah are two faves who always give a great show. New top dancers include Kate and Vanity, who are there thru Christmas, plus Racquel. Got to keep going to establish relationships.

The old Koala rarely goes out at night. He's more into afternoon delight. I had a late afternoon appointment in Conshy. I was early, so I stopped in this Club. Bar seemed small. Maybe 4-5 girls. Mostly young. Only one appeared to be over 30. All were 7+ but none were much more. Girls danced behind the bar and then circulated for tips. Only one of five solicited a higher price dance. Is that a good thing or not? So I didn't drop big bucks. Minimal contact allowed. I got stroking a shoulder while tipping at the bar than touching anything at the LD Room. Low pressure. Decent looking girls. I'll be back.

Came on a Tuesday night after a business trip, arriving around 11PM. Entry fee was $6. The beer was $7. There were about 12 girls in the place, and the ratio of guys to girls was about 3:1. One girl was dancing in the stage in the center of the wrap-around bar. The girl who came off from dancing made the rounds seeking dollars from the guys at the bar. Girls were a mix of black and mostly white, ranging from 4s to 8s. Lap dances are $20 paid to the man with the timer, but if you want to do additional dances you can settle up at the end. They told me you cannot touch the girls, but their lap dance can touch you. I had one dance from a slightly overweight blonde girl named Kates who has only been here a 1+1/2 weeks. She nearly crushed my lap with her weight, so I didn't go for any other dances with her. A smaller good looking brunette named Anna from Glasgow was my next lap dancer and she did a good job, including my favorite: sitting on my lap, facing me, bodies rubbing. Yummy. She's only at the club about a week now and she intends to travel the USA. She easily talked me into the $200 "champagne room". Not much privacy there, but you are allowed to touch her butt and back - nothing else. Nothing else really changed about her lap dances, and she spent a fair amount time sitting and talking. Near the end, I tried to talk her into doing more of my favorite position, and she did some more but not enough - ignoring my requests for more, and going off and doing other moves. So there was no emission accomplished at the end.

Went on a Wednesday, being outside Philadelphia on business. Cover charge was $6. Got there about 11 and the parking lot was almost full. Two bartenders, a taller brunette was more fun; cordial but definitely not connecting with anyone on the other side of the bar. Two dancers at a time on a small stage inside the bar area. After a 2-dance set the dancers mingle looking for tips or dances. Dances are $20 for 4 minutes and bouncers watch everything. I saw one remove a hand from the middle of a dancer's back. Got dances from Eva and Amy, both ok, but nothing brag about. I was told that the "champaign room" allowed touching from both parties, but at $200 for 30 minutes, I passed. There is the usual sales pitch, but not high pressure so the place is good to unwind.

7th Heaven is a fairly blue collar club, with a mix of professional types from the new office buildings and apartments in the area. The ladies are friendly but do have their hustle going, especially if you go during the day when it is less crowded. Overall, the ladies are decent, but I agree with amackey that recently, the quality has declined. They do have a pretty good rotation for a smaller club. The dance floor is small, but they have a couple of private rooms. Seating is mostly at the bar with a couple of tables, but it certainly doesn't hold a crowd. The bartenders are usually pretty hot themselves and overall, everyone is pretty friendly.

Cover charge varies and beers are $4-5. Dances are $20- Sara, Carly and Devon are recommended.

Not sure what happened, but recently the quality of ladies has declined; a few dancers I've talked to have said they're thinking about moving on to other clubs. It's too bad, cause this club has great "local flavor". Here's a good tip for those who like quality booze: instead of getting your mixed drinks with "well" liquour, just ask how much more it is for the premium stuff. In my case, I was able to upgrade from a $4 gin and tonic made with crappy gin, to a $5 Bombay Sapphire and tonic! Though the portions remain small, this is the best bargain I've seen at any club in town. Oh, and if you are lucky enough to see Becky dance (she admits she's rarely on the schedule), get a private dance, she's very engaging!

There is a real mix of ladies dancing here! None were very exotic, but all seemed to be built. Some cute and some not so cute. The drinks are a pretty good deal, with specials running most nights. The usual deal, a couple dances on stage, and then they go around the stage for tips. The private dance was pretty good, although I wish the area for these dances was a bit more private. Will probably go back here again sometime when I want to have a decent time and a few beers.

It's been awhile since I've been here, but I was in the area and got to stop in for an hour or so and take in the show. It's obviously a place where everyone knows everyone, with lots of friendly greetings among the girls, the bartender and the usual patrons. It's a little smoky... hard to believe the difference with the smoke free down town clubs. Friday afternoon the girls were on 2 song rotations, second song topless and with a minimal g-string. Some very strong dancers in the lineup, no amateurs here. Lots of silicon on display, with very nice jobs done all around. Didn't see anyone hitting the couch, but from the level of monitoring of the empty room, it seemed unlikely to be a very productive adventure. The dollar parade was 1-2 per dancer, less than $20 per hour, for those of you who are on a budget.
Worth a trip if you're in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get back.


I've been going here for the last few months, for an hour or so after work (i.e. the "happy hour" shift). The bar is very dark, and small (so pretty smoky if it's packed, which it is on Friday's). The girls dance directly behind the bar (where drinks are $4-$6, and not bad, but not great either). This is a friendly, "home town" club, where most everyone is a regular, and local. The girls dance two songs behind the bar, the second topless, then tour the bar stools for tips, giving out a hug and a squeeze here and there. Most of the girls seem to have regulars who they sit with between sets, supplied with booze and smokes (I found even when I tipped with $5's on the "tour", I was often left alone for most of my stay).

The few truly beautiful girls get busy with privates, which are $20, not very roomy (especially if there is another going on next to you), and closely observed by the DJ/security -- so the girls obey the rules, regardless of how much you might want them not to. Privates are topless, but your hands need to keep to yourself (my first dance, I lightly caressed the girl's back, and she warned me that while she liked and appreciated it, the DJ would have me thrown out if I kept up). That said, the girls do their best to keep you coming back for more (or staying where you are, for another $20 a song). Having been there about 6 times in 3 months, I recognize nearly all the girls now, so the "rotation" is pretty thin -- but the girls are as regular as the guys! I, however, am still not regular enough to warrant any extra attention, maybe in another 3 months!

I had the occasion to visit a few weeks ago from out of town. Getting there, it seems you wind your way through all the streets in town but once you arrive, there is plenty of parking in a quiet area. Inside, the place is as described-- a nice neighborhood bar with half-naked women. There were only about six girls dancing at 11 PM and the bar was full. I had a beer and watched the dancers, tipping as they made their way around after a set. They were nice--low pressure, decent looking, relaxed. Didn't feel the urge to go for a lap until the blonde showed up. I thought she had done a very erotic grind when dancing, and after a little conversation, we headed for the truly small cramped,and uncomfortable lapdance area. After a few minutes of enthusiastic grinding, she suggested the VIP area-- $200.00 for 30 minutes. I liked the way she moved, and we went VIP. More room, leather couch, a little more private. Even though I couldn't do much touching, she could. She gave me her best and it was more than enough to leave me smiling. She's the reason the club gets an 8, but I'd come back even if she wasn't there.

This is definitely a smaller club, I think it was a normal neighborhood bar and someone said "yo, we can make more money if the ladies take off their clothes." But the ladies here do make a difference from other clubs of similar (lack of) sophistication. Although not the stunners you might see elsewhere, they are attractive (6-9) and very easy going. The hustle is there but it is subtle and easy to deflect if you aren't interested that evening. All in all, for a neighborhood strip club, this is pretty nice. I'll be back!

This is a small club, catering mostly to the local area. If it weren't for the girls dancing inside, it would look like any run-of-the-mill neighborhood bar. On a recent Saturday early evening visit, there were about a dozen dancers working, mostly 6's & 7's, with a couple of 5's and one or two 8's. About two-thirds were white and one-third black. Most of the girls were friendly and not too aggressive about tips. This would appear to be an easy club to spend a couple of enjoyable hours in if it weren't for its pathetic lap-dance room. It's about the size of a coat closet, about 5 feet by 10 feet. There isn't enough room for couches, so chairs are provided. Not big, comfortable living-room type chairs, but small office-desk type chairs that you have to sit straight upright in. There are two rows of about 4 chairs facing each other with a very narrow aisle between them. You have to step over the dancers to get past them. Some of the girls manage to do a decent lap dance, but they are all limited by the lack of room to work.

There is not too much to talk about the physical layout of the place that other reviews have not hit. It's a bar, with girls dancing in it. I visited on a Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised by the beauties within! A very diverse crowd of dancers, who seemed willing to spend a lot of time on your lap! I fell for one redhead that had the most amazing body! After three lapdances I visited the "champagne room" with her. It was worth the $200! I had more fun with her than with my last three girlfriends combined. Anything I wanted happened, she even gave me her home phone number. I just got off the phone with her too, so it was actually her real number. Some of the girls in the place were pushy, and my beer was skunked, but that one girl made up for it all. I guess that is true of every club, but I will be visiting this one again.

This place continues to be hit and miss. Nighttime quality is significantly better than day. Looks like good ones are leaving. Couches are no touch, no fun. Courts way overpriced and unimpressive. Too bad, it could be a gold mine.

From the outside looks like a quiet neighborhood bar. Inside two dancers rotate in the middle of the bar as patrons sit around the bar. When finished, dancer go around to each patron for tips. Most dancers were in the mid range (5). A couple 7's and one 10. I tried to get the attention of the 10 but she must have been hooked on her regulars. I finally decided on a VIP 1/2 hour for 200.00 with a thin, very small boobed blonde but very sensual. It was well worth it. Although not one of my favorite clubs, I will stop by when I'm back in the area.

I went here on travel recently. It is not much in the way of an elaborate club, But the friendly girls and full contact lap dances make up for it. The place is just a bar around a stage. The girls dance behind the bar and then come out fo tips. The object of coming around for tips is to solicit a couch dance or get you into the VIP room, but all of the girls were pleasant when you declined. While asking most gave you a nice grind and showed a little titty or beaver while collecting a couple dollars. THis is a little different from a NY club where there is no touching during a lap dance. A couple of the girls were very aggressive and tried to entice you into spending money on a private dance by rubbing you leg and a bit bit more. This was a suprise at first but very pleasant. In two nighs, I saw a couple girls in the 8-10 range, but most were average. I never ventured into the VIP room, but I did buck up the $20 fee for a few couch dances. The first girl was a very hot, (A 10 for the this club). She did a nice couch dance with little touching. I was a little disapointed after the contact at the bar from the other girls. On the next couple couch dances, I was more selective and chose a dancer that gave me more contact at the bar. The couch dances from these girls had a lot more contact. Lots of grinding and feeling from the girls. You ar not allowd to touch the dancers, but the dancers do a lot of touching and rubbing. They know just where to rub too. It's not an upscale club, the girls are average, but the couch dances were a lot of fun and had a lot of contact.

A recent stop this past Saturday afternoon on the way back from NJ was really not that great. I guess it could be attributed to the fact that it was just after they opened at noon. They were still restocking all the coolers and the beer was not really that cold, and I hate warm beer! Only one dancer, well actually there were three, but one left after one dance and the other two just kind of "hung out" , did not seem they were really interested in anything. Maybe it was way too early, don't know. Just wanted to make all aware that early may not be so great! Another thing, the men's room is getting pretty bad, floor tiles missing, plywood exposed, so that may make for quite an unpleasant odor in there after a while!

The Good - A nice mix of girls. Some are a little too old, some a little too chubby, but most are a step or two above average. No girls as nice as the ones at some of the bigger clubs in Philly, but most will get your motor running. The bartenders were very polite. I especially like the fact this place is totally topless - no pasties. Nothing like a pair of hard nipples staring at you during a dance.

The Bad - Too crowded. Stage is small and the place was shoulder-to-shoulder the 3 times I was there. Tough to make a connection with a girl when another guy is leaning on you. The lap dances were not great for 2 reasons. First, the chairs are the worst I've ever been in. They are small and stiff - even the girls complain. Yo owners - Spend a little $$$ and put in a decent couch or two. Second, the "no-touch" is strictly enforced. Bouncers check so much they are practically in the chair with you. And the girls remind you too. Not a lot of mileage either.

Overall - OK "neighborhood bar" place if you just want to watch some slightly above average looking gals dancing. Many better places to go in the area if you are looking to get some better looking girls and/or more serious lap dances. Go if you live close by, but do not go out of your way.

Avg girls, but good attitudes. Maybe 1 or 2 8-9s, but most are 5-7s. Not horrible. Good mix of races. White, Asian, Black...Honestly, the black chicks were the hottest and the white chicks were mostly beat. Bartender was ripping me off a bit, but I guess that comes with the territory. It was the afternoon, so maybe hotter girls come in at night. No touching on the dance that I got, but the dancer was very agressive. Not the best, but the price isn't bad. They should at least have better beer on tap tho.

Well I can certainly echo some of the previous comments. Stopped in here about 4PM on the way home from a recent business excursion to Philly. It is true the outside looks pretty bad, but the inside is OK. I was pleasantly surprised to see about 12 different dancers working, each doing a two song set on the stage in the center of the bar, then circulating outside the bar for tips. Some were kind of pushy for more than the traditional single tip, but not overbearing. Most all were decent with a few really great lookers. Very friendly atmosphere, dancers and others alike. The place is small, seats about 30 or so. Overall we spent about three hours in the place! Definitely recommended if in the area.

The club looks like a dive but the people inside are very friendly--not just the dancers but also the bartenders and bouncers. A couple of the dancers mentioned that it was the best club they'd ever worked in--people are happy there and it shows.
Saw over a dozen different girls due to being there over shift change, mostly average-looking with 2-3 standouts. It was a slow night there and I got a LOT of attention from the girls.
One of the dancers (slender brunette, can't remember her name) said she was new to dancing & working her way through grad school. She chatted with me a long time & seemed to forget to ask me for money. I suggested a lap dance (felt sorry she was spending so much time with me without tip) & she gave me a great, enthusiastic dance for my $20.
Fell in love with a petite latina calling herself Cinnamon (one of the standouts). Let her talk me into $200 for 1/2 hr on the leather couch (apple martinis included). Overpriced & tame due to couch being out in the open with no privacy, but Cinnamon made it thorougly enjoyable & I don't regret the $$$.
Overall, it was the best time I ever had in a strip club.

Not a bad place for a beer and cheap fun. Visited the place late on a Wednesday night. Interesting setup, the girls dance behind the bar… you cannot tip them directly. They dance without receiving tips and after dancing go around the bar asking for tips. The place was friendly and fairly full for a weekday. Dances are okay but don’t expect too much… there are a bunch of bouncers checking the lap dance area and the girls instruct everyone to keep their hands on the couch… The talent was not bad… 5-8… but 8s were easily available… If you are in the neighborhood… it is not a bad alternative.

Made my first stop at this club with a group of men and women after a business meeting. From the outside, this looks like a typical local bar, and has the feel of one when you walk inside. The area is safe,with great parking across the street. Once inside, there is a small bar with knockout bartenders. This was a Tuesday night, $5 to get in, and the place was moderately crowded with locals and a few business types. The girls do a two set song on the smallish stage, then come around for tips. The girls range from 5's to 9's. The lap dance area is small, and the chairs a bit small as well, but that did not stop this writer from doing my duty to check it all out. As in most places, mileage varies with the dancer. There was an annoying bouncer that insisted my hands be kept on the chair, but after a while with certain angles, that problem was overcome. First lap was ok, average contact, but the second was more sensual and worth the $20. Drinks were reasonable, and all in all, a nice place to stop if you're in the area. No pressure, great atmosphere with a local flavor.

This might be the most bi-polar strip club I've ever seen. I am amazed by how much the quality at this place varies. On one night the place will be packed with hot women from nearby Jersey and Philly clubs, the dances will be good, and there will be regular looking people there. On another night the place will be full of stretch marked droopy women you'd pay to get away from. Sometimes, it feels like the DJ is watching from closer to you than the girl. Other times dances are great. The place is always a dump, parking is good, and there's an ATM within walking distance. My suggestion: go, scout, and then decide whether to stay and enjoy or run for your life.

Very comfortable place. Walk in – and the bar is right in front of you – and that is where the girls are dancing. The girls are pretty diverse – blondes, brunettes, Asian, Hispanic, white, black – everything. Mostly the girls are in the 6-8 range – you will not be disappointed.

The girls do a 2 song set behind the bar. While you are watching them – you can also watch the hot bartenders. There was a blonde girl behind the bar when I was there – huge rack and no bra. Also to tempt the guys – she kept the bottle opener inside her shirt – kept her nipples hard all night long.

After there set – the girls walk around the outside of the bar for tips – and rub up against each guy. As if just seeing them take off their clothes wasn’t worth a buck or two – they will grind on you at your seat to collect it. I had a great time here.

The admission is cheap - $5, and the drinks are very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend and I will be back next time I am in PA.
