It's been a while since I've been to PP now that I've learned to enjoy the different vibe at Heartbreakers, but one trip back reminds you why this is the top club. It's easy to have a good time and just as easy for your money to disappear. No matter when you go there's always at least two girls that will meet your fancy, and in this case I was able to see one of my two faves who I spent a good deal of time with. As far as other girls, I took a chance on a slightly bigger but young girl because she had a lot of enthusiasm but it was nothing to brag about. I also tried Fire (Rosie Perez Jr. as the last reviewer said) for the first time after turning her down all summer. (She must forget who I am everytime I come in). I will say I tried her before reading the last reviewer's experience with her and I can see where extended time with her will yield great results, but she spent all her time talking about how horrible the club was which took me out of the mood, coupled with the fact that the 2for1 I did with her (at her request, not the advertised time) didn't excite me like dances I have with many others here.
After hanging out with my favorite I was ready to leave before a girl at the second satellite stage where I sit said something to the effect of I hurt her feelings earlier in the night when she was dancing and I got up and left. Honestly don't remember it (I would have tipped her earlier if I saw her probably) but chances are I had to take a bathroom break. So this time I tipped her and she talked me into a lapper. Did two that were great - YMMV - but then she spent 10 minutes trying to talk me into champagne. Not going to happen and after a while I paid for the dances I had and left. Don't remember the name. Fun night like always; I just enjoy the laid back vibe at Heartbreakers more.
Was in SC for a quick biz trip. Honestly I didnt expect there to be any clubs worth visiting, but being the South, I figured I'd try and lo and behold, a top 10 TUSCL club! I showed up around 10 - it reminded me of the standard late 80s club layout and decor although one of the damcers told me they just got new carpet in preparation for an upcoming smoking ban. The first dancer was a tall blonde with short hair with black highlights. At first she seemed ok but her body was great. She sat down and i bought her a few drinks. Then a girlfriend came by and she said she'd be right back and never returned. So as i was sitting there another tall lady with a huge rack came up - must have been 20. She was very personable and talked college football with me for a while and i got 2 laps from her. Not terribly inspired. Finally, i met Rosie Perez Jr from Florida. She was a spinner and a half and knew what she was doing. Unbelievable attention and skills. She displayed here jewelry for me on a number of occasions and played the harmonica very well. Highly recommended.
Another Sunday afternoon happy hour. Cheap cover $3.00, half price drinks, but the atmosphere does not seem as good as it was a couple of years ago. More up selling. Girls used to understand that a happy ending was the deal in the lap dance room. Maybe it was just this day, but a lot seemed to think that a happy ending deserved extra. Any way, I did find a good dancer who had worked there for a number of years and we had a good time, and she thanked me, and it was fun. She saved my afternoon. Just not as good of a selection as I remember.
PP is still one of my ATF's, especially in the Carolinas. Champagne Room is still a rip-off (usually), but VIP's with the right girl can put a smile on your face. $20-$25 (max) is all you should pay for VIP. Make sure you know B4 you start, or you risk getting jacked for $40.
Gwen can be a lot of fun. Usually works days.
YMMV...went on saturday afternoone and noticed that there were a few ROB's....1 for 50...you're out of your mind...2 for 25 or 2 for 30 should be the norm around here. mileage varies depending on the girls...extras may be had depending on the girl, as I was offered OTC...music is too loud but otherwise one of my favorite clubs. most of the girls are some of the best looking i've ever seen in a club
I visited the club on Wednesday from 1:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M., on Thursday from 1:00 P. M. until 1230 A.M., and again on Friday from 11:30 A.M. until 6:30 P.M. The number of dancers varied depending on the time of day. A low of 6 and 50+. Quality ranged from 5 to 9. Mostly 7,s and 8,s. Mileage was up.During the 3 days, I sampled 20+ favorite dancers all for the price of 2 for $20. Don't expect to get this price from all of them. I am an appreciated regular. Expect 2 for $30 and if you get get it lower, it is a plus for you. YMMV is an understatement.
I was joined by fellow TUSCLer magicrat on Thu and Fri and the Dirk444 joined us on Fri afternoon. We had a blast. All 3 of us from out of town. It shows you how much we enjoy this club.
I have a policy of not mentioning dancer names in my reviews, unless they piss me off (Megan)but I have had so many of them ask me to (we could use the business) that here it is. In no particular order: Mia, Miranda, Porsha, Nickie, Peaches, Alex, Kendra, Alicia, Anna, Cloe, Delilah, Sari, Trinity, Helena, Gwen, Cali. I apologize for those that I left out. Brain fart!
Smokers: A new anti smoking law goes into effect Oct 1st. Nobody is sure what effect this will have on the strip clubs. I spoke to the night manager about this. He is uncertain. The lawyers are still picking this apart.
As always, tell them that the candy man sent you.
I was a little disapointed with the dancers on tuesday. A few really mediocre looking dancers. The exceptios were
Kendra and Marisa, they made my stay enjoyable. I noticed
several guys sitting at tables and dancers gathered at the right side of the bar. Why don't they mix more. Also,
when I asked for change at the bar - all $2's - just what
I needed to go with the $2's I got at the door for change. A mixed review at best - maybe just the time and
day I went.
This was my second visit to this club about one month back on a Friday evening. I think the entrance fees was $8. It was happy hour and the drinks were around $4+tips. It is a decent sized club with comfortable chairs. Still too noisy and the DJ is obnoxious. Most of the dancers looked average but very talented during the on and off-stage performance. I really liked chatting with the dancers during this visit as most of them were simple next door type. I had a few lap dances buut generally had a good time drinking beer and watching beautiful girls.
Stopped by on my lunch break on Monday afternoon, Didn't have much time but I did enjoy some time with the lovely Gwen. A killer bod... busty and firm (I don't like 'em too skinny) and a nice personality to boot. Enjoyed a brief couch dance and received very nice mileage. Overall, there didn't seem to be a lot of action in here... but it was a Monday. Many of the girls were just sitting around and not visiting with the customers.
Back again at PP - had an afternoon to kill after work. Combined this with a quick trip up to G'ville to see friends as well. Pretty quiet but was able to hook up with what I thought were the two best looking chicks in the place at 15:00 no problem. Mild chit chat, some 2 for $25 dances in the back and I left very happy again. Gotta tip my hat to the Candyman - he's dead on with afternoon/"early" evening shifts being the best. Excellent back room stuff and thoroughly enjoyed myself. If you're anywhere near Columbia, SC you really should make a point to go check the place out. It's a whole (hole?) lot of fun.
Made a two hour stop to Platinum Plus on my way to Charlotte last week. It was a good way to spend some time. Regarding the loudness of the music in the club, which is constantly mentioned on this site, I found that it was largely dependent upon where I was sitting. In genral it ranged from deafening to loud. But then again, I really don't come to this club for the conversation.
I had dances with a variety of girls, costing from 2 for $20 to $25 each. I did not find much difference in the dances based on how nuch was spent. All of the dances were hands on, some were very intense. I especially enjoyed the time I spent with Sunshine.
This is a great club for dances. In terms of the looks of the entertainers, I would rate it average.
I visited for the first time in several months last Saturday afternoon, arriving around 1:30. I saw the greatest number of large, scary women I've ever seen there. Fortunately for me, Nikki and Miranda were working. Nikki has refined her technique and is just a delight to dance with. Miranda is a sweetheart and always seems excited to see me. It was a good thing that these two great women were there, otherwise the talent was looking very weak.
Short visit this time...I came in found an ATF and was off to the races in no time. The place is in serious need of new carpet by the bar...my shoes stuck to the floor.
If it wasn't for a few girls...the place would be considered highly overrated. YMMV depending on the girls you select. And all the guys who have deep pockets and no balls, can really stop fucking up the price structure of the past. 2 for 25 is the target rate!!!
Once again I Have a tough time coming up with answers to the few brief questions. I was there last Sat night with snowtime and again with him on Mon after noon. I mention him because it was the first time that we met. You can believe his reviews. He knows His shit. We had fun on Sun and even more fun on Mon. Sun was pretty slow. Mon was much better. More dancers and more of my favorite dancers. Tue was even better. The value rating, number of dancers was always changing. So it was hard to answer the questions based on a fun 3 day trip. Basically I am a day shift kind of guy. For privacy and value lunch time is the best time to go. After 8:00 P.M there are more out of town ROBS there. So going at lunchtime has always been the best time for me. If And If you can find the right girl, takeout is available for $100-$200. I suppose more, If you run into one of the ROBS. I have to correct messagain's review. There are 3 (not two) couch rooms and I am not counting the waste of time Champagne Room. (Back by the mens room)
See you again the middle of next month. Candy man...
Went to PP last Friday. I had a great time with the normal daytime-nighttime dancers but like SC and others have often stated, beware of the out-of-town dancers. They are the ones who are trying to milk every last cent from you by charging as much money as they can with no regards of repeat business or building a customer base. The kind of guys that would come back to the club just to see and spend money on them. They're not interested in anything like that. I'm also wary of any new dancers because some of them just don't understand the concept of money, especially when it comes to giving back change. I wasn't burned too bad but I was still kinda ticked off by one dancer whom I won't mention because I'm not 100% sure if she did it on purpose or not. I'll just stick to my favs. If there are any new dancers who want to approach me, they'll just have to keep coming back to PP so that I can see if they'll stick around for awhile before I'll invest any money on them.
I visited PP again on Saturday, 08-16, on my way home from the beach. This was by far the best experience I've had at this club. I got 2-25s from Kendra as soon as I arrived, and there was plenty of kitty play on my part, and tugging on her part. The only thing that bothers me a bit are the very hard fakes. After finishing several sets from Kendra, Elizabeth approached and sat with me for a bit, which I really like as opposed to the quick "wanna dance" girls. It was her birthday, and after a bit of chat, we proceeded to the lap room for some 2-25s. I must have received 6 or 7 sets from her with a ton of grinding, and a very good make out session. Afterwards, Kendra approached again and offered to "return the favor" from our last set of dances, which she did quite nicely. I left after a few hours very satisfied. I'll be back!
Got here really late on a Saturday. Probably around 5AM. I was in no rush to get here since the place is supposed to be open til 6AM. This place gets so much hype on the site I decided to swing by since I was within driving distance. There were still a lot of cars around, and I ended up parking across the street in the open lot. That's a pretty steep hill they have running alongside the club. I wonder how many drunken tumbles they've had over the years. Once you get up the stairs, the greeter directs you around to the desk for whatever the cover is (something cheap). Thought the suits of armor were a nice touch. There are a lot of reviews that describe the layout in detail, but honestly it didn't look like what I was expecting from those write ups.
Won't spend a lot of time writing the description out myself since there are pics on the website. What you don't get from the website is the amphitheater vibe and the way the stage room slopes down toward the main stage. The visibility is pretty good because of the design, and there isn't really a bad seat in the house. Even this late there were a good number of customers, I'd put it around 30 or so. Still plenty of dancers, maybe 20. I had just drug myself away from a pretty rowdy atmosphere (and one smoking hot couch dance) over at the old Chastity's to check this place out and it was a lot more laid back. The girls that were still there were kind of circling around but not really mingling, the club still had dancing on two satellite stages, and guys were still tipping. Not quite Vegas, but it was cool to see a club still going strong heading towards daybreak.
There was a nice looking redhead with a tight body who I snagged for a couple of regular dances in the far right corner past the stage. When I read through the goings on in a lot of these reviews I wouldn't have guessed the lap areas were so wide open. The two regular LD spots are on the corners, and the first one I saw was up a few steps and you get square looking padded seats separated by table surfaces where you can set drinks and whatnot. If there are other non-VIP dance areas I didn't spot them during my brief visit. The pros were you could take a quick look around and get an idea of what could be had that time of day, the cons were you'd get the same once over treatment so odds are you were going to hit a speed limit fast on your dances. It was revealed pretty quickly I'd drawn a dud, even though she looked pretty hot and gave it a good shot. I was tempted to pull the curvy blonde from across the narrow aisle after she wrapped up her set, but decided to walk the floor and keep looking since she was wearing quite the frown. One thing that jumped out at me was the range in body types and styles the girls had. Nicely done.
The satellite stages provided some nice tipping possibilities, which was cool but I was still starting to think I'd have made out better where I was before. Readers of the reviews for this club should understand most of the ones written by regulars are strictly dayshift. If you're not sure, ask (i.e. send the reviewer a message). I should give a quick nod to shadowcat for sending me the scoop on the place and what to keep an eye out for. So that I don't wrap the review without acknowledging any fun at all, ran into Mia on the way out. Tall, brunette with a very cute face and really nice boob job. Went to the other lapdance area with her, in the opposite corner from the one overlooking the main stage. Darker back there, with equally dark padded benches around the room and both areas are backed with mirrors. Think about it as a lapdance box where you can find little nooks away from prying eyes even though it doesn't have a door and looks directly into the club as well. The space is situated to the right of the main bar and is probably a better bet for dances than the other.
Her dances were pretty nice, hands on, and worked out to a little under $20 per for some pretty good contact. I wasn't really in the mood to upsize, though. What I was thinking at the time was I might've been better off with the petite blonde in the "referee" jersey grinding two guys into dust in the time it took me to get bored. Could only see the back of her in the corner but what I saw looked pretty good. Actually, what I was thinking was if I left right then it might be possible to get back to Chastisty's in time to hook up with Paige in their Champagne Room so that became the plan...This is a nice club. Everything seems to be as advertised. Place was laid back, no hustle for drinks or dances. Maybe I missed all that by pulling the graveyard shift. Not sure. You can probably end up with a reasonable amount of mileage after dark, but I wouldn't doubt the other reviewers who keep saying days are the time to head over if that's your thing. A solid 8 across the board and I'd go back.
Stopped by on my way home. This has been one of my favorite clubs for years now. I used to make the long drive just to visit, but gas prices.........
Met a new (to me) dancer named Gwynn. Although she's been there for a few years, this was my first encounter. I regret I hadn't met her before. I got a lap dance and did not regret it at all. But that I had more time to stay, I would have gotten more.
Back in South Carolina recently. Happy to make it back to Double P as always.
Can't say things have changed much since the last time I came here, which certainly is a good thing.
This place rocks! For fans of the Memphis Double P, this place is just a friendly reminder of the way things used to be in Bluff City. So sad I have to come all the way to Columbia to getthis type of quality.
As always, the music is deafening. I have lost probably 50% of my hearing due to this place. But i can deal with it. I will just have to learn sign language.
The girls were extra nice this time - not sure if the bad economy is fueliing it or not. But girls were very friendly from the get go. Not too much hustling for the most part, although there are always going to be a few bad eggs everywhere. Stage shows were standard and a good way to check out the flexibility of your favorite soon to be lap dancer.
I waited for 2 for 1's but you can really negotiate them with almost any dancer. It works out better if you do it not during an official 2 for 1 as the songs tend to last longer.
I am happy to have been back in town. Now if only Memphis would get themselves back together...
I was in town for business and had seen some positive reviews on tuscl for this club so I stopped by for happy hour. The drinks are a terriffic value between 5-8PM and there is no shortage of dancers at this time. The dancers are also quite flexible on their private dance prices during HH. Most will do 2 for 30 or 2 for 40. Overall this is a quality club with girls ranging from 6-9 and a good blend of talent. I certainly will return.
Had two extended visits last Sun. night and the following Mon. afternoon. On both days I was joined by Shadowcat who is well known by the girls and he offers advice on how to best enjoy your visit. I appreciated the advice and enjoyed the company.
I was able to get dances at the rate of 2 for 20, or 2 for 25, from all the girls I asked except one. The dancers on duty Sun. night were not as cute as the Mon. day shift. I think that has been the case on most of my trips to PP. The best looking dancers tend to stay only a short time so if you see one you like I suggest a tip on stage and a request for a dance. In the past I have waited on the better looking girls only to see them depart before I was able to gea dance. Two dollar bills in change and too loud music continue to detract from the club. Other than that, this is a place where you can have a great tume at a reasonable cost. It is a must see if you are anywhere near Columbia.
Had a chance to visit PP on Wed. and Thurs. last week. The club is as described - dark decent sized drink prices reasonable and a pretty good selection of dancers. There are some ROBs around so get rid of any that suggest a champaign room dance and there was one that planted on my lap but was well below quality standards. Overall the dancers were in the 7 -9 category - maybe one 10. There are 2 lap areas and I don't think that there are mileage differences between the 2 rooms. The goal is to get in there alone and the right dancer really turns it on.
As all reviews state the afternoon is much better - I arrived around 5 on Wed. and within an hour the day shift was mostly gone. Dances are typically 2 for 25 with day shift - give or take $5. Night shift a lot of dancers hold out for 2 for 40. Thursday I arrived about 2:30 and it was much better. A hot blonde milf was up the shorts leg and slurping Mr. Happy on the first song. I did get dances from her on Wed. so it was my second day with her.
A very hot coed with an ass that was to die for talked me into a 2 for 40 right before I left on Wed. and expertly moved to a happy ending.
All and all a great place to spend some time. I would go even if I could only make evening shift but the afternoon is the best!
I've been visiting Platinum Plus off and on since 1999 and to me it's as good as any club out there. The wait staff has always been excellent and the seem to find the cutest waitresses. The girls are just hot enough. I mean come on it's a strip club not a pageant. I'd much rather see them than Miss USA any day anyway. Though the girls can get a bit pushy for my taste, I completely understand. However, I tend to respond best to those who show the customer a little respect and consideration and not just come right out and ask for a lap dance. I mean some girls could at least show a little enthuiasm about asking. When they don't, it's obviously probably going to be a no thanks. I tend to have the most fun with those who will at least humor me for a few minutes before they ask. Get to know me a little bit (show some interest - even though I know what you want). I tend to go away from ones who come right out and ask me to buy a drink. I'd feel much better if I could ask you first! In most cases I'd love to but it kind of takes the pleasure out of it when girls are so pushy about things. All that being said, compared to some places I've been, I feel most at home at Platinum and look foward to coming back soon. Even a bad night isn't so bad.
Visited PP on a Tuesday afternoon, place had a few patrons and about the same number of dancers. Spoke to a greek godess, she was very cute 22 year old. 2-4-1 dances began at 4:00pm and got a couple from Lia, a slim petite blond, great dance. I give this club a 9 for the great two way contact dances.
This is the best strip club in the Carolinas. It's also a great value but, like most things, inflation is taking it's toll. Compared to other clubs it's still a good value, it's just not as good as it used to be. They play the music very loud, but they seemed to have cut it back some during the day, It's usually pretty dark and that makes for some nice spots to hang out with the dancer(s) of your choice. The place is big enough to be interesting but not too large.
There are usually about 20 girls working during the afternoon but there will be 40 to 50 later at night. The girls work when they want or need the money so the numbers can vary widely. The bartenders and waitresses do a great job, although Misty no longer works there. You don't have to spend a fortune to have a good time. If you tip on the stages you will find a dancer you like and if not you'll have fun for only a little money.
If you haven't been to this place, add it to your bucket list.
I visited here the Tuesday during the 4th of July week. Everything seemed typical. The music wasn't superloud which was nice. Being a week night, it wasn't that difficult finding a seat either and I enjoyed that. Dancers were friendly. Well one didn't seem that friendly and I should have avoided getting a dance from her. She was pretty much hands off. The dance prices I paid were either 2 for $25 or 2 for $30 so I didn't really save anything compared to the sister club. I keep meeting the same dancers from time to time at both clubs here and in Greenville so I can't say the dancer quality is that much different. At least not when I visit. Overall I enjoyed my visit.
Follow up visit from the end of my business trip last week. Finished up early enough I could head for PP Friday afternoon prior to my flight out that evening. The previously mentioned hot bodied, drop dead gorgeous looking 10 was working. Since the after work crowd had not shown up yet, there were only a handful of other guys in the place and getting the dancer of choice was not an issue. She had no problem in going 2 for $25 as long as I wanted to stay in the back and I left well satisfied ;-). The afternoon shift is definitely the time to show up and, if you see something you like, then you should have a very good time. Looking forward to my next trip back.
I visited the club last Tue Wed and Thu. Mostly during the afternoon to early evening. I had an excellent time. Thanks to my favorite dancers, I got every thing that you hope for in a strip club visit. If you can build up a trust, take out is available.
The club ratings have dropped and I understand the reasons behind that. Too many out of town ROBS. Especially after 8:00 P.M. I added another dancer to my favorites list. A waitress turned dancer. It was her first week. I think that the rating by GatorJoe was a little low considering he spent $300 on one of my favorite dancers. She showed me her
appreciation for the recommendation.
Pop, Popped into the club on Tue and Thu. for a brief time. Always good to see him. I met Volsfan0911 on Wed. Spent several hours with him discussing experiences. Strip club and non strip club. I claim him to be another TUSCL buddy. Ran into chandler for the 2nd time on Thu. He recently posted on the discussion board that he was still evaluating my favorite club. I know who he spent his time with. I know that he had a good time.
As always, tell them the candy man sent you. I get rewards for this. lol...
This is the largest strip club that I have ever been to. I did not count specifically but I would guess that they had at least 80 girls on the floor at a time. It was a great experience and the dancers are REALLY friendly. I also noticed that the bouncers where not nearly as pushy about the no touching rules which made the experience a lot nicer then the clubs that you feel as if you are being watched like a hawk. Most of the girls where top notch and I would like to visit again real soon.
In town for a business trip. Had made arrangements to meet shadowcat since he was going to be in town as well. Damn good time IMHO and a pleasure to meet him. Most of the girls he's cozy with seem to be gone by 18:00 which is the time I managed to get there but still an excellent selection. You can bargain down to whatever you're comfortable with on price for lap dances - just be picky and take your time. Happy hour is pretty good ($2 domestics) and they've turned the music down to bearable levels during the afternoon FINALLY! Girl up front tried to charge me a $3 cover - it was 17:55 when I hit the door!!??!! There were some lookers there that early - one I hooked up with for a couple of 2'fers wasn't high mileage but Gawd, what a looker and excellent high grindage in the back. Another, which I'd just about give a 10 to, will definitely be the first chick I head for next time around. There was high mileage available with the right girl and I will be hitting the place again this week prior to hitting the not-so-friendly skies Friday afternoon. There was one ROB working the floor but easily dumped. If you're in Columbia or reasonably nearby - you really do owe it to yourself to check this place out. It can be a LOT of fun!
I made another quick, very late trip here early morning of July 10. Several danacers still around as usual. I had my eye on a blond dancer at one of the satellite stages and tipped her a couple times during her one song set. Unfortunately, when she finished she took off toward the dressing room. Since it was so late, I didn't really want to wait to see if/when she would return.
I negotiated 2 for $30 from this very young, hot, tight brunette. Typical PP dances, no real extras per se but a good way to end the evening. Just made me want to go back for a return visit.
Visited PP on the 9th of July. Arrivied a little bit later tahn usual, say about 2:45 in the afternoon. I was disappointed to see that some of the early shift regulars had not come in or had already left (Pebbles and Nikki foremost among these).
In general the atmosphere in the club was a little less energetic than usual. The number of girls was lower than normal, which is probably explained by the early departures I mentioned above. The club itself was not particularly crowded- a few more girls than customers. Upon getting seated, there was the usual amount of approaching while I was getting settled in. Some of this was overtly pushy, some of it reasonable friendly. Most handled requests for some time with grace. Those that I was not interested in got the hint and did not hang around.
Had some pleasant couch dances with Sara and Desiree'. Sara is fairly aggressive, sometimes bordering on painful in her action. She gives very good value, with significant mileage given and taken. Desiree initially suggested $40 for a single dance, $50 for two. When I said that was a high, she agreed to 2 for $40, with a tip if I enjoyed it. Decent amount of mileage, not as forward as Sara. Finished up with Chardonnay, and based upon the quality of the couch, I took her intot he champagne room. From a pure cost standpoint, she is an excellent value there. Performed service as requested and was friendly, if a bit mechanical.
Overall, a solid time, and Chardonnay had me leaving satisfied, if not overwhelmed. The hard economic times have hit the girls too, and they are having to work for their money. This can lead to some good value for the customer.
This was a stop on my SE tour. I was really disappointed the first two days I went. I went after 10 each day and would say that is was absolutely horrible. I mean really bad.
Usually friday/saturday is when the A team is supposed to come out. I expect it to be busy, but I also expect the girls to be hotter. The girls were horrible, I mean I really thought "this is platinum plus?" The number of overweight girls was way to high. The number of overly agressive girls way too high. Most of the girls were out of towners, who were there to hustle way too much.
The place is also ridiculus in terms of the people that come in. I guess all the bars begin to close around 1. So all of the college kids come, which is fine, except that they bring 10 girls with them, take seats, and don't spend anymoney. This makes the girls miserable, the place overpacked with no fun or atmosphere. Anyway horrible both nights in terms of atmosphere would be places and time that I would never want to go again.
Girls, Mia,Amanda, Bianca, Hollywood, and several others were very pleasant and very nice. There were a couple whose names who I can't remember, but were the best ones (I know there real names, but not their stage names).
I went on Sunday, the place was dead. I mean really dead. But it was a lot more relaxing, less stressful and of course had a lot more fun. The girls were fewer, but in general a better quality (or at least a lot less ugly).
Overall, my advice is come early in the week, come early in the day, avoid the fridays and saturdays. Still a good experience though.
Stopped by on a Thursday afternoon a couple of weeks ago. I have read (here) that a lot of dancers have come in from out of town and driven up the prices. That may be true because I only saw one or two that I recognized. On the plus side, I can say that several came up to me and were very friendly... and not in a pushy sort of way. One asked me to buy her a beer (which I don't normally do when the ask out of the blue like that) but I did and we had a really nice chat. I'll be able to give a better report next week because I'll be returning and looking to spend some more time (and dollars) there.
Was in on recent Saturday. Opens at 11, I was there by maybe 1130. I think this is too early in the day probably. Only 5 girls tops for at least the 1st 2 hours and typically only 1 or two around for dances.
Having said that, if you aren't totally picky, you can find one that is well worth a few visits to the back. I really like one that has a bit of Sandra Bullock look to her.
AS always, the music is too loud. Even the girls were mentioning it on this day.
Cover is $3 and drinks pretty cheap.
great club. went with some friends and we had a great time. the dancers were great and the money was well worth it. Teh DJ wasn't that great, but lets be honest he wasn't the reason we were there.
The club rating of a 7 was mainly due to the dj. I just cant stand the dj, sure he is loud like almost everyone mentions but he is also just plain annoying, f this and f that. I dont have a problem with 4 letter words but it gets a bit ridiculous at some point you know...
We had dances from 2 girls and they were both pretty good. We like younger (as in 25 and under) skinny and boobs no bigger than c's plus good mileage. As usual it is hard to get dancers to come approach us since we are a couple, I swear I want to bring a neon sign and hang it on us that says "We Want Lap Dances". Once we do find our girls though it is a good time. The dances were high quality and high contact. Better experience than I have had in the past but not the best ever experience. Being Sunday evening probably doesn't help much, probably one of the worst shifts to be there but oh well. I will be back as it is still my number one club.
I was in town the week of the 4th and this seemed to be the best option. I stopped in the afternoon and the first thing I thought was "Damn, they were right about the music." I knew if I stayed too long I was going to have a pretty bad headache. The girls were attractive. I did a couple of 2 for 30 dances without too much haggling. In the VIP, it was pretty standard fare for me being from FL. Nice grind with some mutual touching. Very nice. Didn't want take out or extras. Just a few minutes with some nice young girls.
I was passing through town Tuesday, June 17th, and decided to stop by one of my favorite clubs once again. Unfortunately, I didn't have very much time, and I wish I had known Shadowcat was on the prowl while I was there. I arrived around 3:30 pm and the crowd was pretty light. I sat for quite a while, tipped at the stage almost every dance, and it took over 45 minutes for the first dancer to approach me for a dance. Sorry, can't remember her name, but I recognized her from a prior visit, so I knew she was a regular and not one of the out of towners. She offered 2 for $25, and gave a very satisfying dance. It's too bad I didn't have more time, or I would have spent a lot more time with her.
I've had much better times at this club, but will certainly return when I have more time to stay. I'll be sure to ask if there are any other TUSCL members on site next time. I know I would enjoy meeting some of you guys.
Friday afternoon I visited the club between 2 and 4 found
a number of great looking gals. I had too many dances
from too many dancers (my first visit) and spent far too
much money. Delilah was a true delight, Kendra a beauty!
I live nearby and WILL return very soon. This is a great club !!! The atmosphere is just right and everyone was very
friendly. Going up to the stsge and tiping the dancer is
highly recommened - you get meet her UP CLOSE and PERSONAL. I was told by some of the afternoon girls that some of the evening shift was showing up early because of
so many customers. Prices are indeed negotable - by some,
not all. $100.00 an buy a lot of dances from some but not
all. As mentioned before I dropped $300 in two hours, I have learned after reading the reviews. Have fun
This is a pretty fun club to party at. If you go before 8pm the cover is only $3. And from 4-7 they have happy hour with $2 beer and well drinks. They always have a good mix of dancers with at least a few smokers. Dance prices vary by how hot the girl thinks she is. But they are all very liberal with the contact and so whatever you spend you will probably not regret it. And at least once an hour they do a two for one so for $20-$30 you can have a pretty good time. There are several there that are not so stuck on themselves but the one I recommend the most goes by Firecracker. A little dark haired latino with a smoking hot body that will make sure you aren't disappointed. Once you get a dance from her you can get 2 for $25 all night and she is awesome. PP is at least a once a month stop for me and well worth it.
Allright... Back to the PP after a few months off during a recent trip to Columbia for Business. Can say that not much has changed, not bad for a Tuesday afternoon, but a little light in the talent department(OK, it was a tuesday afternoon) . Drinks were reasonable ( happy hour ) and the music was loud. Glad to see things have not changed much @ PP Columbia. All in all a good time. Cover $4, drinks $3 - $5,
Had some time to kill in Columbia so I visited Monday from 2-4 in the afternoon. Even though it was before happy hour, it is still a great time to visit. The club is not crowded, a pretty good selection of dancers, and a lot of privacy in the couch dance rooms. I do agree that is best to get the dance prices set before getting them. I had no problem getting 2/$20 or 3/$40. Overall the club is still a great visit, but the quality of girls was down a bit, maybe just the time of day, but they sure are friendly.
I made my monthly trip to the club on Jun 17th from 2:00 P.M. until 8:30, on June 18th from 2:00 P.M. until 8:30, and on Jun 19th from 1130 A.M. until 7:30 P.M. The music is still too loud and the DJ's are still too obnoxious.
I started going to this club about 7 years ago. Prior to my first visit here my favorite club was the Memphis Platinum Plus. But On my first visit here, I met a dancer that became my ATF and kept me coming back month after month. I did my reviews and so did Shekitout and Pop. Next thing I know the club is in the TUSCL top 40. Then into the top 10. And then 2 months ago was rated the number one topless club. And now has dropped to number 4 in just 2 weeks. Why? Some poor reviews. Any one that rated this club less than an "8" obviously did not have a great time. I have never seen any one rate it as low as StripShopper. And this guy is a friend of mine, that has been here several times.
So why the drop in ratings? The club has become too popular. Strippers read TUSCL too and many out of towners have flocked here to clean up. They come in with expectations of making big money and then leaving. Most are from Florida. They could care less about repeat business. They are asking ridiculous prices and only giving fair to poor lap dances.
I mentioned Megan in my last review as being a ROB. One of my favorites has told me that she has heard this from other customers that she knows. Another favorite dancer pointed out a new dancer that is asking $50 a dance and will not go less than $40.She told me (not that I needed it) to always ask dance prices up front. She said a lot of guys are used to the regular dances prices and do not think to ask. She saw this bitch circling around one of her regulars and went to warn him. I can get 2 for $20 lap dances with about a dozen dancers here. Newbies should be able to get 2 for $25. I turned down a 2 for $30 that promised to do anything I wanted. I'm not stupid. Guys help keep down the prices. Just say NO to anything more than 2 for $25. Just be patient.
Tuesday was kind of quiet. Only 3 of my favorites working. Wednesday was better and fellow TUSCLer SnowTime joined me.I know that he had a great time and will be back. After he left I was joined by another TUSCLer usceu13. He just dropped in to see me.
Friday I came out of the lap dance room with my newest favorite. Got back to my table and who the fuck was sitting there? StripShopper, himself. He spent about 3 hours talking with me and my favorite about his poor experiences on his last two visits. She shared his views about over pricing by some dancers and that the regular dancers actually make more money. I know that he was impressed with her.
Overall mileage was down a little on this trip. Reasons: 2 of my favorites have been kicked out. One for doing Heroine ITC. You can now find her at the Gold Club. The other for apparently doing BJ's. Don't know where she is at.
As always tell them the candy man sent you.
Made my last afternoon visit for a while due to a change in work schedule. Was hoping to catch a few of my regulars to inform them of my work schedule change so that they wouldn't think I had lost interest. Missed Dallas, Austin, and Mya. Was beginning to think it was a wasted trip when in walked the lovely Delilah. She saved the day. I have always enjoyed her company and today was no exception. She has a way about her that makes a man feel special. Such a sweet disposition with the face of an angel. Music volume was not as bad as previous visits. I was actually able to have audible conversations with the dancers for a change. Hope this trend continues. Crowd seemed smaller than usual for a Friday afternoon. Will be returning when my work schedule permits.
I went to Platinum Plus in Columbia, SC because I had seen it ranked so high so consistently. I was actually dissapointed when I walked in. I have been to much better clubs from the decor to the music to the waitstaff to the girls and mileage. THIS IS NOT A TOP 3 CLUB!!! The Flight Club in Michigan and Solid Platinum in KY and Mons Venus in Tampa, and PP in Greenville, and The Masters in Myrtle Beach are all way better from all aspects. Based on previous reviews, I can confirm the music is way too loud at PP and the DJ is extremely annoying. The Greenville PP is a better choice and even the Masters in Myrtle beach was better. I did get several lap dances from various ladies, but I didn't get anything at this club that I have not been able to get at just about any strip club in terms of mileage. One girl did not allow me to touch her chest. Don't get me wrong, this club is better than most clubs in the US, but I think most of the ratings are from loyal fans who just want to keep it in the top ten. I will go as far as to say it should not even be a top 10 club.
Went to Platinum Plus after reading some good reviews. Sunday night was pretty lively in there. I had some lapdances with great contact from both parties involved. the prettiest dancers were and 8 at best. I found them to be friendly and ladylike for the most part except a very tall, hot italian girl whose name escapes me. She had the word "Amore" tattooed down the side of her torso. Don't let that killer body fool you, she has absolutely no personality. The stage shows were pretty entertaining and the waitstaff was not too pushy, so if you feel like not spending lots of dough I imagine you can still have a great time at Platinum Plus.
I visited recently on a slow tuesday afternoon/ evening. There seemed to be about a dozen or more ladies dancing ranging from about 6 to a couple of 9s. I was one of only about 6 customers so there was a little more of the wanna dance hustle going on but not overwhelming. I actually turned down a few of shadowcats deals. I finally got a few dances from the two nines and they were very good but not over the top. I wished there had been a couple girls I met in the past there. It would have been a great night with the uncrowded vip rooms.
I visited Platinum Plus on a Wednesday night and found it well attended, but the place is so big, it never really feels crowded. I have in the past heard about some pretty aggressive dancers here but never experienced anything along those lines in the past. Well, on this occassion I was totally shocked by the treatment I received. I was pretty much rattled.
This place is always good for a surprise and I always try to stop in when I am in the area.
Wed. afternoon visit was a welcome stop on my trip from Charleston to Atlanta. Today's visit seemed to be a lot better than previous daytime visits. The selection of about 15 girls was as good as I have seen it during the day with about 4 really hot dancers and the rest were certainly acceptable. I got a great 2 for 1 dance from one of the four best at $20. This was unusual for me as other recent trips have resulted in 25 per dance offers. Maybe I was lucky or maybe the economy is starting to drive prices down. In either case my 2 dances were great with lots of mutual contact. Unfortunately my dancer left the club shortly after that. I tipped the other hot girls at the rail and got excellent contact. I asked 2 of them to come over for a dance but they stayed with regulars who never got a dance the entire time I was there. Guess they had aleady made plenty of money for the day. I will return and try again as they were that good looking. One nice touch, the club was playing the U.S. Open golf playoff on the big screen. I am not a golfer but enjoyed watching the playoff on one side of the room and the stage dancers on the other. On this day at least, the club lived up to its reputation.
As per usual with my strip club visits, this one was much after midnight with more than one too many drinks in me. I do love this club though and have even when sober, which is pretty big for this kid!
This night was different than my usual because Porn Star Jenna Haze was there. I didn't get to catch either of her strip shows but caught a glimpse of her up close and personal. She is very petite which I like but I knew she would be leaving soon since it was well after 2AM.
I roamed towards that main stage looking for a petite stripper with a nice stomach. That's what I for at the club. There were a few there. My favorite is Pleasure. She is a foxy red head who is so tiny, she probably shops in the little girls section.
I will tell ya, this girl can rock a pole or a couch dance. I highly recommend. Especially on the weekend. That is when this club pulls out all the stops. Best club in Columbia hands down!
My first visit ever to PP. I went on a Wednesday and Thursday.
My expectations were just to have some fun. I knew the girls would be good looking, the girls would be friendly, not necessarily slutty, and the prices reasonable.
I went around 6 the first time. I sat down, immediately realized the music was too loud. I really thought it might just because the older crowd, but no seriously way too loud.
Anyway, a yound lady, J, sat down with me. She was cute. Small breasts, nice butt, 21-22. Really sweet, not uppity. No pressure at all, I actually had to ask for the dances and I suggest two for 25, she said yes. We had dinner there. She wasn't trying to hustle me and she made good money from me. She was happy and left.
By this time it was later in the night, the hustle girls came out. Two girls came and sat on my lap, one from louisiana and the other from georgia. The Lousiana girl was interesting, I liked her look, and would have gladly gotten individual dances from her. The other one I wanted no part, actually she turned me off from the whole thing and kept pressing the champagne room, which they were quoting me nearly 700 dollars a piece. I wasn't interested, but they weren't willing to say no, so I just walked away.
The higher level near the champagne room seems a bit quieter than the other areas.
Two other girls, a cute blonde and brunette sat me as well. They tried a bit more relaxed approach, but still tried the champagne approach, which was not going to happen. So ended my long night.
I went back later on Thursday, the night Jenna Haze was there. She's cute, but nothing special. I didn't get the upclose and personal view, but in general the porn star thing doesn't do much for me.
I had a good time on Thursday, one girl whose names was K, a little bit older and bigger than I prefer, but still great. Wonderfully fun, no pressure, relatively cheap dances. No HJs, but lots of fun, she even brought her friend H, along who was a bit naughtier and lots of fun as well.
I took a break for a bit and a young skinny girl, K, sat down. She had tatoos which I normally find as a turnoff, but she was gorgeous. Nice build, nice boobs. Good physique. Very sweet, a lot of fun. Again no pressure. Talked about her past life which was extremely interesting.
Her dances were naughty with no pressure. She had fun, I had fun. We go a picture with Jenna at her request. Other than that it was a great time.
Bad Things: The Music, the ATM, the high pressure girls (who were really high pressure) (weren't that many), Actually not as many as I expected, but that be because I was always sitting with someone. Dance prices not as flexible as I tought. The lack of privacy in general, at times it felt I was at Mons.
Good: The girls were generally sweet, the dances were generally high mileage, the drinks were not watered down. The stage tipping was a great way to get to know the girls.
In all fairness to my favorite club I came back the next day. And discovered that the prices were lower during the afternoon shift....but still outrageous in comparison to what the price used to be. I got quotes of 1 for $25 or 2 for $40. and haggling was of little use... These girls are in lock step with the girls from Tampa.
When inquire from one of the girls about the prices being quoted at night...she stated "there are a lot of girls from out of town working at night...and they know that they sucker most of the men coming in here into buying dances at their prices" ...I couldn't believe she told me that...but it must be true.
So, in my book...this club has truly taken a turn for the worse. What was once a great location for value and performance...now it appears lost forever. (too much publicity...IMHO)
The funny part about the whole thing...I came prepared after a 4 month absence from visiting this club...with $500.00 to blow. ...but my principles took over. No girl rubbing her crotch on me for 5-7 minutes is worth $30 a dance. (for you working class guys...that comes out to $260 an hour that they can make) Also, I spoke to two of the Tampa Dancers...each owned 2 houses and 3 cars...(how hard would you have to work to get that?)
OK, my favorite club is going down hill fast...
I visited the club on a Thursday night first week in June, and have just now been able to write about it...and what a miserable night it was.
First off, this was the only club that I expected a fair price for lap dances...and historically, I was always able to negotiate for 2 dances for $20 for multiple dances...and at the most 2 for 25. NOT ANYMORE, seems that a flood of dancers from Tampa have corrupted the whole pricing scheme. With quotes of 1 for $35 or 4 for $100. I was able to negotiate with one dancer for 2 for $30...but she cheated me on the dances and then would not shut-up about going into the champagne room. (R.O.B)
The general attitude of all the new dancers I met....was something along the line of "conniving rip off bitches". And not the sweet typical southern friendly girls that I'm accustom to at this site.
Lastly, one very attractive young dancer approached me...the nicest I'd met in the bunch...and she asked why I had not bought any dances...with which I replied - "You guys are to expensive for my taste." But she offered me a 2 for $30 anyway and promised to take care of me. So, I thought "Fuck it"...she seems sincere... Things went well, and I agreed to another set after the first 2...and at the end of the 3 song...from out of no where this smell of rotten fish started to really annoy me, and that's when I realized it was her. Needs less to say I paid her and left in disgust with smelly pants.
Made 3 visits to the club last week, Tues, Wed & Thurs & a visit this past Tues. Got HJ but not to completion by one of my favorites and renewed acquaintenance with a dancer this past Tues who is now working at Heartbreakers. I asked her if she still gave nasty dances & she said for certain people she did so I had to test it out. Was good with a HJ but again not to completion & she didn't allow kitty insertion like she used to do-bummer. Charge was also higher than I remember in the past so won't go for dances with her anymore. One dancer on the day shift doesn't mind kitty insertion & gives HJ & BJ for the right $. Didn't see her but one day on my visits.
When I go in the afternoon I always get a slip to come back at nite. Mistake is going on Wed nite when the really obnoxious DJ is there running his mouth with the music so loud you can't hear yourself.
Did run into the Tagalog guy-can't remember his club name. He told me he brought a large group to the club one nite but they left because of the loudness of the music. When is management going to wake the fuck up & realize they are driving business away with the loud music & dumbass DJ? Never I suppose as they haven't yet.
Very small crowd Tues nite this week & last week, not much better on Wed nite either. Gas prices are hurting the strip club's too I guess.
I made a quick visit to PP this past Tuesday afternoon, arriving just before happy hour at 4 pm. When I entered, I didn't see but one dancer sitting at the bar and one customer who had just walked in before me. Strange feeling for a club that size and no one there! As it turns out, there were other dancers there, just out of sight in the dressing room or wherever. There might have been 5 dancers there, although within an hour I saw several enter to begin their shift.
I got a drink and sat in Shadowcat's catbird seat and the one dancer came over and asked if she could sit with me, always a nicer touch than "wanna dance?". She was friendly and not too pushy at all, so I did a set of vip's with her. The dances were average for here, but of course off the charts for other clubs I usually frequent. I paid more than I'm used to but as I only had about an hour and I saw no other dancers, I wasn't going to hold out too much.
This short visit only whetted my appetite for a long overdue visit to a great club, which hopefully will occur soon.
I think this is one of the best in SC, arrived at 3:00 in the afternoon. I like going to clubs in the afternoon, seems like policies are less restrictive and since there are less customers the dancers work harder. This club has some of the best onstage interaction I have seen. You stand at the stairs and the dancers get into some serious grindage for $1. Had dances with three girls averaged $25, should have worked harder to lower the price, but I was very happy with the interaction. Happy hour has some good prices, $2 beers and $3.50 mixed drinks for the girls. Most of the girls are pretty good looking, nothing below a 6 and most in the 7-8 range. Two things irritate me about this club; the ATM machine inside has a $60 limit and the music is way too loud. Don't cater to the young guys with no money, the older guys that leave with hearing loss have the money and they might stay longer if the music was not as loud, but I guess it is what makes the DJ happy not keeping the customers happy that is important. I spent more money than I should have, but had a fun time doing it. Left at 8:00
This was my second visit to the club, actually the first time I was in Columbia I went several times but second visit since about a year ago. I guess that I'm the exception to this club. It is pretty nice inside but the music is way too loud and the dancer quality is just average at best. The dances aren't too expensive and as Shadowcat has mentioned you can talk them down but my experience is that the real good looking dancers there don't discount much and the action in the VIP area is pretty limited. I don't care for tattoos either and this club seems to have a minimum requirement of those for the dancers. Prices are good on drinks during happy hour and the lap dances are well priced, I guess I haven't hit on the great dancers that Cat seems to always find. All in all a good club but I can't say it's a great one.
Stopped into PP on a recent fishing visit to SC. It was a Tues afternoon and there was a nice selection of girls to choose from. I met a cool blonde dancer from Kentucky and got 4 or 5 VIP dances from her. Wanted to stay longer and try out some of the other talent, but the DJ ran his mouth and music at such high volume, you literally had to yell at the person you were trying to talk to. There were 5 guys in our group and all were in agreement we needed to move on and spend our $$$ elsewhere. Too bad - the dancers and the club lost some nice revenue that day thanks to the DJ.
Was in on a recent Thursday. Actually stopped on my drive through both directions. Was in around 1pm. Maybe 8 girls, about 10 customers in. This is a nice place in the afternoons when there are girls there that want to dance. At times I've had trouble finding decent ones interesting in vip, the few that are are staying very busy, and others seem to make stage appearance then disappear. But on this day had a lot of fun with 3 or 4 of the girls, and afternoon here is always more fun with the right dancer. Prices $25 or less per song.
Stopped back by around midnight and tons of really pretty girls, but of course it is much more a typical club at night, more standard dances without girls taking as much time with you. Still my favorite club around.
Impromptu visit to Platinum led to another great night in Columbia. I didn't realize how packed this place can be on a Tuesday night. Plenty of girls and customers, although a select few seemed to sit and talk with what may have been regulars rather than making themselves available for more customers. $6 cover at midnight, drinks $4. Firecracker became only the second dancer to make my bitch list--I politely declined a dance from her two separate times and she resorted to name calling. I wasn't ready to do VIPs yet (I hadn't done one with anyone yet except one of my faves that gave me 2for1). After what seemed to be a night of just tipping, saw Amy and enjoyed a good few songs. Formerly of Heartbreakers, she could be a new favorite of mine. Great personality, great body, easy to talk to and enjoyable dances. Normally have a hard time finding girls that fit all four: Zoe, Lexi, Leah and Nadia being the only others.
Actually, I went on both a Monday and Tuesday. As previously noted, it was slow. But I think that is a good thing. A year ago, dancers were asking $25-30 a dance. Now everyone is happily accepting $20 a dance and often doing a 2 for special, whether it be 2 for 20 or 2 for 30.
Mileage seems to be high as ever depending on the girl. Lots of variety, almost anything you want, though the dancers do seem to be on the young side.
I have found that dancers that like to go to the lap room next to the main bar tend to have lower mileage dances. Not an absolute rule, but a guideline.
The higher mileage ones like the privacy of the back lap areas. I have also noticed that the ones that choose the couch behind the big screen tend to have higher mileage, as it offers a bit more privacy.
I must be hard of hearing, as while the music is louder than average, it isn't unbearable in most areas of the club.
The day time blonde waitress is a lot of fun. Will sit with you and do shots with you. Can't remember her name though.
These few primary questions were difficult for me to answer because I was in the club 3 days in a row and each day was different. I have to agree with chandler that Tuesday was a little slow. Wednesday was much better and Thursday was outstanding. The number of dancers at any given time depends on what time of day it is. When the club opens at 11:00 A.M. there can be a few as two. But usually around 6. By Happy Hour that runs from 4:00 P.M. until 8:00 that number has grown to 25 or more.
Private couch dance prices and mileage differs from dancer to dancer. I have a dozen or so dancers that will give me very high mileage for 2 for $20, anytime. They do admit that I am getting special treatment. Even the newbie should be able to get 2 for $25 or $30. You do not have to wait for an announced 2 for 1. In fact it is better if you avoid them. The semi private couch rooms fill up and the less privacy, the less mileage. The club snitch is Adrian or Sadrian. She gives a good dance but if she sees some one going beyond her limits, she will go to the management. My "Bitch of the Month Award" goes to Meagan. I have to kick myself in the ass because I gave her the award a few months ago. I had completely forgotten about her DANCE PRICES AND ATTITUDE. She said that she remembered me. She agreed to do a 2 for $20 and when we got to the couch room she asked for the money up front. Unusual for this place but I know it happens. I paid her and then she spread my hands and arms way out away from her body. "Now I remember you" and I got up and walked out. She came back over to my table and tried to sell me her work rules. Yeah Yeah. Bitch. Several other of my favorites have heard the same thing about her from other customers.
I knocked down my club rating to an 8 because of two things. This club has always been know to crank up the music to extreme limits and has the most obnoxious DJ's that I have ever experienced. On Thursday, the ass hole made a PA announcement "Will the dude passing out candy to the strippers on stage, stop. They do not want it" and he went on and on. Two of my favorites came right over to me and told me what a prick they thought he was. I am known as "the candy man" in this club. Been doing it for 5 or 6 years and most of the dancers appreciate it. A few minutes later the club day shift manager was walking by and I stopped him. He knows me. Not well. But knows that I am a good customer. I told him what the DJ said and that I resented being treated that way. "do you want me to stop passing out candy?". He shook his head NO and said I will talk to him and he immediately went to the DJ booth.
The door girl, Jen, is wonderful. As are the waitresses and bar tenders. Especially Misty.#one favorite candy "DOVE DARK CHOCOLATE.
It was good to finally meet you, chandler.
This club has been pretty hit or miss for me on a few recent afternoon visits. When it's a hit, it's because of the dances which are usually really good. When it misses, it's due to a lack of good looking dancers and too many with quick "wannadance" approaches. There seems to be a lot of turnover. Girls I hope to see next time back never show up again. That wouldn't be a problem if hot girls here weren't so few and far between.
This Tuesday, I went a lot earlier in the day - from about 2:30 to 5:00 - than I've been able to before and had one of my better times. There were more cute girls than I usually see. Early on, only the main stage was in use, which was disappointing. Tipping at the satellite stages is one of the best ways to check out the girls here (and have them "check you out"), so I was glad when that picked up towards the end of my visit.
Finally, I was close to getting ready to leave when I noticed a guy in shorts with a gift bag giving out goodies to the strippers. Turned out he was Shadowcat, bigtime regular PP reviewer on these pages. A real friendly guy who really has a nose for the "friendly" girls in the club. If Shadowcat says you should tip a particular girl, just do it. Your penis will be glad you did.
This is truly a is a gentlemen club. Nice furniture and decor. The place has spent alot on the inside and outside. I went just before happy hour so the place was just filling up. I could not stay long but I like what I saw. The girls will talk to you for a bit and hang out. They had some drink specials. The place is very dark but you adjust after a while. My dances were good. The song lenght seem average but not super short.
Dropped by on a Monday afternoon in april around 12:30. Cover was $3 (I think). Maybe 3-4 customers and about 8 dancers. All gave incredible one way contact at the stage during their two song sets. All came by my table asking for private dances and almost all would do them for $20/dance. Of the 7-8 dances I had, all were very high two way mileage with lots of tugging and grinding on the kid. You have to try them all to find your favorite but it is very difficlt to choose a favorite because almost all the girls will wear you out. The girls were not push about selling the dances. Good waitress service. Ithink domestics were under $4. This is the best place in SC. I always ike the day shift (during the week) better than the night shift. Lots of attention from the dancers.
I visited here on a Friday afternoon during PP Columbia's 10th Anniversary celebration. Apparently Thursday night was pretty wild (the big celebration) with free food and drink for a couple of hours and a feature dancer (Alektra Blue). My sources tell me it was wall-to-wall people - very crowded. Alektra was back on Friday and did one set in the afternoon. Good looking girl. Sold pictures after the show.
There were a good number of dancers there during my visit. I had dances from two of my favorites, and met Tracy and Marissa who have become new favorites. One of my better visits at a club I have consistently high expectations from.
Went to PP on a Friday afternoon. There wasn't much to go by dancer-wise but I was able to chat and have a good time with the locals at the bar. As time wore on, along came a dancer who was my two favorite things: hot and drunk. We went to the couch room where fun was had by all! Afterwards, I continued to drunk and have fun at the bar with everybody there. PP can definitely a hit-or-miss type of place but once you get the right conditions (time, dancer, people, and privacy), you'll see why I'll always keep coming back. You just never know what you'll see or get!!!
Recently visited on a friday afternoon. This place rocks, other than the DJ talking to much and music being too loud. The quality and quantity of the girls was awesome. Had had 30 VIP dances and all were worth the price. Girls were friendly and it was nice to not get a hassle for saying no thank you to a dancer. Happy hour prices are awesome. The only disappointment to me was the lull between when the day girls leave and the night girls come on. Otherwise an excellent visit, this place is highly recommended
Was in town for a golf event and checked out the best club I have found in the Southeast. Got there around 1pm on a Saturday and stayed until about 4. During that time tried as many different dancers as I could, including: MIA (could have sworn she was Mariah on my last visit), JESSICA, GIA, CHANDLER, DALLAS, KENDRA, WILLOW. Of that group, I would rate CHANDLER and WILLOW the best - Willow might have the best ass I have ever had the pleasure of groping. Worst was easily GIA - very little contact and she charged me 2 for $30 - which we didn't tell me until we were about to start.
All in all, another fantastic visit. If I lived closer I would go broke.
In town on business and decided to check out the best club in SC.. Arrived right after lunch so not very crowded with customers or girls. Saw some of the usual suspects and took one back for a 2 for $30. She was very talented and pretty and made me a happy guy. Stayed around to sample a blonde newbie with bad boob job that just moved up three weeks ago. Very pretty but it was all business for this gal. Another great visit and was gone in 45 minutes.
Stopped by for an afternoon at PP and was not disappointed. I only come by on the afternoons, so I can't speak about the night crew. But the day crew is very nice.
I really perfer the day shift because I think you get more "personalized" attention. Don't go for the buffet though because its not worth the effort. Received a very nice private dance from an older blonde with great tits and legs... can't recall her name though. They still play the music too damn loud thnough.
Twice in three days to PP isn't good for the wallet. Great experience Saturday night with two of my faves, then made a new favorite on a slow Monday night in L***. I could've sworn she went by a different name at Heartbreakers but same first letter and number of letters altogether. Fast forwarding to Monday night, about the same number of dancers as customers although a few dancers just did their stage set and then sat at the bar. Not missing anything based on the satellite tip dances. There were enough options and types as is normal but got the money's worth with one late selection. Another girl (started with a 'T'...can't remember the name) was hot and I would've tried but she seemed content not making money which didn't bother me because I always end up with the right pick at PP. Always.
Went to the PP this past Friday. Got there around 5 pm. The afternoon shift was clearing out as I rolled in. There were about 6 girls there and one blonde came and sat w/me. She asked that I buy her a drink, but didn't mind esp since drinks were half price til 8 pm. After the blonde sucked down 3 drinks and a shot I asked how much her dances were. She offered 2 for 30. I accepted and went to the back. The 1st dance started off very slow. Not much contact at all, so I quickly began to loose interest and zoned in on the babe dancing for some other dude. The contact over there looked much better and my dancer seemed to get pissed that I was more interested in another babe. After I ditched the blonde I met up with a 19 yr old brunette that made it all better with her 7 for $100. As always I had a great time at this club.
Met Shadowcat on his monthly pilgrimage to Mecca back in March. Just getting around to submitting the review now. I don't know how anyone can have a bad time in this club on day shift. Most of the girls are extremely friendly. What all the other reviews say is true. I had great experiences with Morgan, Tiffany, Cheyanne and Cara.
Cara was just returning to dancing after a six year absence, having lost her job in the medical profession. Cara hadn't lost any moves and got us both heated up pretty quick. Then Xadrian, the self appointed rules enforcer bitch, goes and gets the bouncer and tells him we are having too good of a time. Cara heads to the office and the fun ends.
This is not the first run in I, or my friends have had with Xadrian. I usually give her a couple dances during my visit, just to be friendly, even though I know they won't be HM. If you don't know Xadrian, just look for the blond with the stripper tattooed across her entire back. I wonder how that tattoo looks whe she's at the beach with the family.
Made a visit to the club 2 days in a row with HJ on both visits by same dancer. Was looking for another dancer who gives HJ on Thurs but she had left for the day. Dances were 2 for $20 but I tipped the dancer $5 for the extra. She told me not to tell anybody so I won't. Very few customers Thurs-least amount I think I've ever seen.
Made a visit the previous week & received HJ on that visit also. HJ's are easy to cum by, BJ's a little more difficult but obtainable.
Yes, it was another great time at Platinum. Great dancers doing fun dances at decent prices makes for a fun afternoon. The dancers and the dances and value get the highest rating, while the club, which is pretty good, could be better. In general, I like the lay-out with the smaller stages that are great for stage tipping. The smoke, loud music and hand blowers in the bathroom are the big drawbacks. The bartenders and most of the waitresses are very good. There were about 25-30 dancers while I was there and the range above is pretty wide so I thought it would be good to be more specific. Dancers arrive all through the afternoon and evening which can add to your experince if you hang around awhile. It's true that many girls will ask for $25 for a dance but practically all will negotiate some and the drink prices are excellent during happy hour. After 9, dance prices quoted tend more toward $25-30 but if she won't work with you move on to another one. Overall it's a place where you can have lots of fun without going completely broke.
Another good afternoon at the Platinum Plus. I was a bit concerned about going on Friday because I prefer it when a little less busy. Early afternoon had a good number of customers and dancers, but by late afternoon it was becoming too crowded for me. Everything pretty much the same as my earlier reviews. Dancers on stage 1 or 2 songs. Walk up to the stage for tip dances (which can be very good). Multiple stages in action as the crowd builds. Lap dances in 1 of 3 rooms in the corners of the club. Good value for lap dances - prices: as low as 2 for $20 when the customer base is small, up to $30 or more when busy. Typical is 2 for $40 or $25 each (depending on the dancer). Ask first.
Was in on a recent Saturday afternoon. I generally love this club, and have had fun on weekday afternoons at times, but Saturday afternoon was dead. Maybe 5 dancers and probably 3 of the 5 didn't seem interested in dancing. I generally don't go grab a girl but will at least make eye contact and wait for them to come over. Spent probably 2-3 hours here and only got dances from one of them, which wasn't great.
Have to try a weekend afternoon again sometime soon.
I was in Columbia Friday and finished up my business a little earlier than expected and decided to stop by the PP since I hadn't been there in quite some time. I thought one of my favorites was working here as she works in a few clubs, but I missed her that day. I did see several dancers that used to work in Greenville PP and that was very enjoyable. It's been said before, but for a great afternoon, visit just before and during happy hour (4-7). The music may be loud but the girls and dances are way above average and the drinks are cheap.
Monthly report: I spent 7 hours in the club last Thursday and Friday and 5 hours today. Nothing much has changed. Still a lot of good looking women doing some great lap dances. Thursdays are now known as "throw back Thursdays". All afternoon the DJ played pop music from the eighties. Nice change for us old guys. I could have used some help that day. There were more of my favorite dancers there than I could take care of. Friday I got some help. rob0411 joined me at the club for several hours. Always a pleasure see him and the girls love him. Saturday day started out very slow. I was in the club at 11:30 A.M. Only two dancers working at the time. Saturday days are always the slowest. It is best to wait until after 1:00 P.M.
Dance prices: I continue to read reviews of dancers asking $25 or more for a single song. I believe them. I just don't pay those prices. I tried 2 dancers new to me on this trip. The first wanted 2 for $25. I said "c'mon. You know that there are a dozen dancers in here that will do 2 for $20 with me anytime. The second I know has been dancing there for 3 or 4 years and I have always avoided here because I know that she is one that wants $25 or more for a single song. This time her "song" changed. She asked if I wanted a dance after some polite conversation. I asked "how much do you charge?" She said that she knows that I get special prices and asked what I was willing to give her? I told her 2 for $20 and she agreed to it. Unfortunately neither made it to my favorites list.
Champagne Room: Stay outta there. Only guys with more money than brains partake. Chris Rock says that "there is no sex in the Champagne Room" In general he is correct but there are exceptions but based on my experiences and conversations with my favorite dancers, it is not worth the price. You can generally get just as good dances in the private couch rooms. And the girls would rather have you spending the money on them rather that the house. Remember they pay to work there. Maybe some day the management will realize that the space could be better used.
Club news: Lilly, L.A., Peaches, and Alex are back. Bad news Gwen will soon be leaving for awhile.
10TH anniversary party: May 15th starting at 7:00 P.M. Free drinks and a 20 foot long Buffet. Including prim rib and sushi( for those of you that can't get any pussy). Also a featured porn star dancer. While you guys are watching her, I would rather be in the back room enjoying the privacy. If I can get the 16th off from work, I'll be there.
as always, tell them the candy man sent you...
I was there last Thursday for the first time in a year back to Columbia. All the good things that reviewers have posted in the past are true. I got there about 5:00pm and business was slow but there were at least 10-12 girls working. $3 admission. I don't mention names. I was immediately approached as I sat down with my first beer ($2) and offered 2 couch for $25. I said "I haven't even warmed up yet", and the response was "I can warm you up quickly". She certainly did. Although she and many others are over-enhanced, to the point of having nearly rock hard tits, she was very, very friendly. Full breast contact was encouraged and readily available, to hand or tongue. I had a couple more 2 for $25's with her later in the day, and each was better than the first. Hand in the bikini bottom was not a problem, and a little clitoral massage seemed to be appreciated.
It turned out that the first experience was similar to the rest. Business stayed slow, so 2 for $25 was the norm. As noted previously there are several girls with tatoos and some of those are really extensive. The majority of girls are enhanced, too much so in many cases. However, a rock hard body on your lap with rock hard nipples in the mouth is tough to beat. A couple girls allowed only covered kitty-petting, but slipping under the cover was no problem for others.
The girls rotate from the main stage to two satellite stages, so you can follow one you like around the room. I got hung up on one with natural tits and a lot of fun to chat with. I supported her whole economy for most of the afternoon. Well worth the $$. She did offer the champagne room for $300 an hour plus a bottle of champagne which she said was $200. She also said that some girls charge $700-$800 for the room. I passed up the opportunity, but spent enough to start getting close.
I left to get something to eat, and Jen on the desk, gave me a slip to get back in free. The staff is very friendly. I finished up the night and my $$ about 8:30. I went back for 'dancer number 2' and we negotiated a finale. It was partly solo but she provided a lot of skillful assistance. When Mr. Happy was happy, she did say that an excellent BJ could have been had in the champagne room where we could 'get dirty'.
I love this place. I'm old enough and deaf enough apparently that I don't mind the loud music. With the options for high mileage and really fun companions, what can I say? I'd like to spring for the champagne room, but it's too stiff for me.
I really think PP is a 10, but there is too much enhancement and too many wild tatoos.
Visited PP for about the third time in 6 months. The club is well put together- decent seating, two stages. Staff is friendly and easy to work with. I make a point of going in the early afternoon- lunch rush is over, but the number of entertainers is usually high. This time, there were significantly more girls than customers- always a nice thing. Nice solid selection of girls- most rate 8+, with a variety of body types. Most sport tatoos, some quite extensive.
Couch dances run anywhere from $20 on up. There is a fair amount of girls walking by looking for dances, but most are content to sit and talk when the number of customers goes down. I even had one suggest 2 dances for $20 just to get her started for the day.
I've done the Champagne Room a couple of times- just make sure you know your dancer well to get your money worth. Pebbles is a distinct favorite of mine; she is very generous. Nikki is a wild child, and very friendly. Most of the girls give good mileage for the money in private dances, and you can find one to put a smile on your face in the champagne room.
Made a stop here after a very enjoyable visit to Heartbreakers earlier on a Wed. evening. Maybe it was an off night but I have to say the quality of dancers was much better at HB. There were a few more girls at PP but their looks and attitude were inferior. This is my second less than stellar evening visit to PP. I think I will stick to days where the girls seem friendlier and more attracive. There were a lot of enhanced girls this night and that may appeal to some but not me. Also there was a ton of the "wanna dance" and move on sales pitch. Since I didn't want a dance with most of them anyway, this was perhaps a good thing. Only a handful of natural girls and I finally got a decent dance from one of them. Not the best dance I have gotten there but certainly better than what you get in most clubs. Am lowering my usual 8 rating to a 7 based on tonight's visit. Will certainly go back, but will try to stick to daytime. Would suggest some of you PP regulars try a visit to Heartbreakers.
Went this past Wednesday and had an enjoyable time. I usually go during the day nad have found that while the dancers are not as attractive as in the evening, the attentiuon you recieve and the quality of the dances is superior in the afternoon. This is a place to go for the dances, as previous posts have described the level of the music makes a discussion almost impossible.
This is a worthwhile trip to make if you are in the area. It is about 1 1/2 hours from Charlotte, but I think that your time would be well spent to head to COlumbia SC and PP.
Small, Dark, Very Smokey, decidedly marginal talent. This was well on its way to a bad review until I bought a lapdance for a female customer and it was incredible, the customer got topless and the dancer was all over her (north and south!). The dancer then gave a dance to the girls boyfriend while the customer gave me a great full contact lapdance. What a night!!!!
Made a couple of visits to PP the last month. Overall not much has changed which is a good thing. Got a couple of really great dances from one of my new favorites. One I've always liked but never tried is Gemini. Has moves but her sattelite tip dances are practically nothing which makes me hold off on taking her to the back. One who I haven't had a chance with yet but will the next time I go is Petite. Very nice and comes up to you rather than the other way around, which to me is a plus. Also no problem getting 1's in change if you ask.
Recently checked this place out for the first time. It was a weekday and I arrived around 8:30pm. It seemed a bit on the slow side then but through the night it became packed.
Overall this place is as good people say. Some of the girls were a little pushy and a couple seemed to be on something. Most of the girls, and waitstaff, were hot and very friendly. VIP was definitely worth the money. Full 2way contact, with some girls providing a better show than others. I didn't try the private room but I guess with the right dancer it would be amazing.
It would have been a 10 if one of the girls didn't spend her VIP time trying to get me into a private room and if the VIP rooms were just a bit more private.
Went on a recent weekday when I found myself in the area. Had always heard that the day-shift was friendly and wanted to check it out. I went around 1pm and the club was definitely not packed, but there were at least a half dozen girls working, and they were keeping the stage filled. They were also doing something I liked a lot: One song sets. That meant that if you stage tipped a dancer, as soon as her one song was over, she could come talk to you. I got couch dances from several girls. I didn't have any bad dances, but as usual it was the dancer with a bit more miles on her than the tight young girls who came through with the best service and as we were alone in the couch area, her dance evolved into a very nice, completely out of the pants, hand-job. A much better lunch experience than McDonalds.
I'm giving this visit a 10. Why not? Pretty girls, less smoke & lower cover than night-time, and a happy ending -- what's not to like?
Went to PP on 4/4 and had a great time! Mainly because there was so many new dancers there. I was nice to see some new faces and bodies. Probably coming in for Masters week. I didn't partake on any of the newness at this time but maybe later on this week. Hopefully, some of my old favorites that work every now and then will also make their way back to PP to go head-to-head with the new dancers for our money!!!
Unbelievable! Went to Platinum Friday night and I have NEVER seen it as packed as this. Certainly I dont go every week but over the past few years I have been there on my fair share of Friday nights and this one topped it all as far as the crowd. For some reason the DJ felt that he had to be even louder than ever.
Because of the crowd it was definitely not a night that would be advantageous to many deals on prices for dances.
My gf and I found an absolutely stunning blond right up our alley (tan, early 20's, b's or small c's) she definitely liked my gf as most do. Usually though the dances get better as you go along and hers kind of peaked at the beginning and got progressively worse as it went on.
Overall, not a great experience although not horrible either. Some of it is to be expected on a Friday night.
I went to this club this time on a Monday night. I have not been here during the week as much but I like it a lot better. The music was less loud and I could almost have a conversation with the dancer. The talent was still pretty good even though it was early in the evening. I found a good dancer to spend some quality time with. She allowed (and encouraged) touching up top and did a little bit of stick shifting that was really nice. I got a two for 1 and the price was so good that I tipped her and still only spent $40. Overall, a good time on Monday night.
Visited on Thursday March 20. What a great way to start spring. I arrived at 11:00 AM and promptly took a field trip with Ashley. She was awesome. Also got some good dances from Melody. Spent a good deal of time buying drinks for Dallas and got a few dances from Austin. Ended the evening on a great note when I received a couple of dances from the lovely Miss Dallas. I was happy that she liked the gift that I brought her and very glad that I was able to catch her working to give to her. Music volume is still too loud but overall everything else was perfect.
Well, i had a business trip to georgia and decided to take a little detour into columbia. Having been to PP before I knew what to expect. As usual this place rarely lets me down, but can someone please talk to management about the damn volume of the music. its bordering on the ridiculous. otherwise great time as usual, unfortunately my cousin that came with me blew his "life savings" with a beautiful petite blonde. personally i like to sample most of the girls and not stick to one. to each their own i guess. great place if i lived any closer i would be a serious regular.
I made my monthly visit to the club on March 20,21, and 22. I was joined by fellow TUSCLers shekitout on Thu and Fri and by TimboATL on Fri and Sat. If you have never been here you don't know why it is the #1 rate topless club on TUSCL. If it wasn't for the loud music and obnoxious DJ's, I would have given it a 10. The dancers are worth it. I won't give you names because I have a trust thing going with my favorite dancers and I could not guarantee you the same prices and mileage that I get. Now there are some ROBs here. From my last review, I did not see Megan. Also, I did not find out who ShoeShow was. I showed her review to several dancers and none of them could put a name to her. Most trusted favorite said that she probably does not even work there anymore.
Club notes:
The DJ announced that porn star Jenna Haze, a favorite of mine, was going to be a featured act soon. Unfortunately I missed the date/s.
The Masters golf turnament will be held in Augusta GA from April 7-13. The girls are looking fore ward to it. Don't even think about going here that week. First of all you couldn't get a hotel room within 100 miles of Augusta. Second because there are no good strip clubs on Augusta, they will all be flocking here. These golf nuts are big spenders.
I will be back next month.
Stopped by on a weekday evening. I really wish my travel schedule would bring me through this city on a weekend, because I really want to see if it can earn a 10 ranking on a weekend.
This evening was noisy by my standards, but I tend to like a quieter place than many people. The women, whose names I did not catch, were delightfully tattoo free compared to Tampa, my usual hunting grounds. Don't recall the names of any of them, but I got some definite grindage from every one of them. Tonight was a night of many dances with many women. A top notch place, on my favorites list.
My gf and I went back to PP recently. My overall rating went down this time for a couple of reasons.
First, music/dj too loud (as most people here say)
Secondly, the girls were not as appealing to us visually, had more attitude, and were less outgoing. We like it when girls come up to us (again I understand why they might be hesitant because I am there with my girl and they don't want girls to get all huffy, but my girl isn't like that).
Once we did finally find one that would talk to us and was cool to be around we got several dances. Nothing quite as crazy as last time but still enjoyable and both ladies still ended up topless (definitely gets other patrons attention when non strippers but still attractive girls are topless in the couch area).
I think what could make this place even better is a less annoying dj and girls that were less afraid to come ask us for a dance (we are at a strip club afterall).
I had a chance to visit this place about 2 weeks back on a Thursday at around 4:00 PM. They only charged $3 entrance fee at that time. It was happy hour and the drinks were around $2. It has a main stage and 2 small satellite stages. close to the bar. It was really dark inside the club and they had about 20 girls.
It was decent sized club with an atmosphere and ambience more for blue collar clientele.
One thing that stuck immediately was the loud noise rather than music and the DJ was screaming intermittently but it was very difficult to comprehend what he was saying.
Most of the dancers looked average but very talented during the on and off-stage performance. I tipped them at the satellite stages around the bar many times and the girls were very appreciative. I also had 5 lap dances from various girls and most of these dances were medium mileage and fair to great in quality. Lap dance price range was from $20 to $35.
I left after about 2.5 hrs, as the noise and the loudmouth DJ was really starting to annoy me. I will probably visit this club again but will bring my i-pod next time.
Made the short trip to PP this past Sunday. This was my 1st Sunday trip so I was unsure what to expect. The club was much slower than any other night, but there was a good ratio in my favor. It's been a while since my last visit and saw lots of fresh faces, which was good since I'm on the hunt for some new favs. My 1st was a blonde from Memphis. She was about 22, 5-4 and 110. After some chatter she offered 2 for $50. I wasn't in the mood to neg, so I took the offer. Her dances were a 7.5. Since I was looking to meet some new faces, I stopped at 2. Met C and R from Wilmington. They were together and offered a double, but I rather have 1 at a time, so I did 2 for $40 with each. I'd give each of them a 6. It was getting late. I then saw an old friend from Miami, J. She has always been my fav brunette at the club and I was so glad to see her. J gets a 9 and so does the club.
Stopped by last Tuesday and spent several hours. Dancer population pretty good in the afternoon until just before 4 - it then clears out until the night shift starts coming in, and by 6 it's back to full force. Funny since happy our starts at 4 - you'd think there would be more activity.
On this day my favorites were Ashley and Niki. Excellent dances, no drama; an all-around fun afternoon. Had dances from several others, but names escape me. Most were pretty good; one tall blond hardbody, who promised a soft, sensual experience, was a serious grinder. Not my type at all. Get prices up front because you could be surprised by some of the answers you get after the dances.
Great dancers, fun dances and good prices, you'll find them all here. I started my last review that way and couldn' think of a better summary of the place so...
Once again, I'm covering several visits with this review and the dancers that I spent time with have all been lots of fun and some of those were pretty incredible. There was one exception. The same dancer that shadowcat mentioned in his review pulled a similar stunt with me. She started out at $30 but after talking for a few minutes agreed to dance for 20. When she began the dance it was very little dancing and mostly a sales pitch for a "real" dance for another 10 bucks. That was the end of that dance session. Now, I don't go to these places expecting to get laid but I am interested in having a good time and my idea of that is not some woman nagging me for a few more bucks and calling me cheap. That's enough said on that subject.
Fortunately, there are many interesting dancers at the plus and one of them turned this visit into a great one. I don't normally mention names but Vanna has encouraged me to do so and on my last visit she told me that she is retiring from dancing since she has landed a more permanent type of job. She also told me that dancing was in her blood and that she would have to dance now and then. If you're lucky enough to be in the club on one of those now and then nights, I would suggest you buy her a drink and enjoy some great dances. If it's happy hour, it's an unbeatable deal.
Haven't been to PP in several months but had an opportunity to visit on Sunday night. I was surprised that it was as slow as some of my daytime visits. There were about 12 girls working altghough the exact number is hard to track. Probably 20 customers at best from 11-1am. All of the dancers were decent and all that I sampled at stage side gave nice contact. A lot of the dancers were enhanced which I don't like but I did manage to get 2 dancers from a dancer visiting from PP in Greenville. She wanted 25 per dance but settled on 2 for 40. This is more than I usually pay in the afternoon but she was a very cute spinner so I consented. If I had more time I may have held out for a better price as it was a buyer's market on this Sunday night. I was planning a return visit on the following day but schedule didn't permit it. Music was loud but definately not as bad as in the past but I was probably lucky. DJ was not at all annoying just introduced the girls and let the music play. Wish they all were that civil. One nice touch on this trip were two separate visits by the bouncer/manager who came by and wanted to know if I was having a good time. That was a nice touch and I think other clubs should do similar interaction with the paying customers. Will try to get back soon but will aim for a daytime visit as I think your money and mileage goes further.
A better than normal night at the best club in SC. Well, the DJ did talk more than normal as well. Packed tight on a Friday night but still seemed like an endless supply of women to go around...unless they announced 2for1 and they all disappeared.
Shelly (I think) started my night. A petite newbie that needs to learn a lot more moves to make it. Doesn't change position or turn around or anything, the exact same thing the entire song. Later saw her on the satellite stages and seems to be potential somewhere in her.
Leah was next and I spent over half my money this night on her. Extremely friendly (in both respects), pretty and a great body. I don't have any favorites at PP because I don't frequent often enough, but I would get dances with her everytime I see her. She includes the sensual touch to her dances which I like.
After literally hours of trying to get her, originally finished the night with Zoey. Still a great butt (and her erect nipples can cut ice) and I would also spend my nights with her. She can seem standoff-ish on the floor as if she doesn't want to be there, but you'll find out that's just shyness in the big crowd. It was my second trip getting dances from her and she remembered the last time and kept me happy. One more song and it would have been all over for my night but luckily held it off in the third song and didn't have enough funds for the finisher. Like Leah, I enjoy talking to her but there's a chance she could be leaving the club soon.
Was ready to leave but then I saw Lace/Lacie with the white, fluffy cowboy boots. Said hey to find out when she would be in the club next but in the end I ended up doing two dances with her right then. Also friendly personality, probably a 6/7 but would tie Leah and Zoey for best honors of the night. Also had a sensual thing going in her dances and I would have kept going if I had more money. There was only one other person in the dance area in the back (about 4:30 a.m.) which was bad because I have the feeling I could have gotten some extra attention when I saw her feel me up, look over at the other girl talking to her guy to see if she was watching and then stopped working on me when she saw they weren't dancing.
Somewhere before Zoey was another dancer I had but dont' remember the name. The dance was OK but slightly more air/backing up than I'm used to here. Got her back there just before the 2for1 announced and even though I don't do those (thanks to those that suggest not due to mileage issues), I tried to see if I could get that deal. Didn't work but she gave me the price we agreed on right before the announcement and threw in another dance for free.
Another good night at Platinum.
Wow, what can I say? One of the best clubs on the east coast!
Like any popular club, it can get VERY crowded. Day women "play" more than the night staff. If you like an oral stimulus, ask for Nikki or Mickki. Stay away from Anna, Therone and Midnight.
Night crew (as it is with every club) LOOKS better but ACTS less. Same owner as Heartbreakers but the women are better looking.
Restrooms are mariginal, I wouldn't take a crap there.
No worthwhile food to cut the high before heading home.
Hadn't paid a visit to the club for awhile so I decided to stop in last nite. Not a large crowd for a Thursday nite. The rating is due to the obnoxious fat DJ that can't say anything without the F word in it-so unnecessary!
Spotted a very pretty light-skinned black dance who goes by the same name as another darker skinned black dancer at the club but had not met this one before. Very sweet with nice natural boobs and a nice body. She agreed to a 2 for $25 and we went to the dance area. 1st thing she does it pull down her bottom and show her kitty so I reached out & rub it and she says that I'm being a bad guy. She would not venture up the shorts leg and when I rubbed the kitty from the outside of her thong I was told I was being bad again. She was very much hands on with willy and didn't mind her boobs being kissed and squeezed or her butt being massaged. Very stimulating dance session.
A friend of one of Shadowcat's former favorites came over & spoke & offered a $20 dance but I wasn't ready right then but when she came over during a 2 for 1 it was back to the dance area. Natural boobs but didn't want them touched! Whassup with that? Butt rubbing was ok with her but I didn't even go for the kitty. Had a little boob contact without objection but I was rather disappointed as her friend from what I understand was very much hands on.
Talked to a dancer who was very cute but said she had only made $8 by 9PM. Said she used to work the dayshift but said that girls on the dayshift were nasty-doing handjobs and fucking. I replied it sounded like the daytime was the best time to be there. I didn't even bother to ask for a dance after her comments.
I saw a beautiful Puerto Rican dancer but no dances with her, maybe another time.
Brought a new guy from the company here Friday night. We were there 6-8:30. The usual assortment of good looking girls was lacking that night. There were a couple of girls I would have liked to get a dance from. One of them came up to me when I was standing at the bar and starting talking. The whole time She's talking, I'm trying to figure out what this stench is. The girl smelled of BO in the worst way. Hot girl, bad smell. Then a Phillipino girl walked up to me and smelled of BO too! What are the odds? I've never had a an experience like this before, let alone two. My friend had a good time, but it was a marginal night for me. Music didn't seem as loud as usual. Some of the girls were trying this $30 a song crap, luckily for my friend, I briefed him in advance.
This by far my favorite strip club on the east coast. Lots of hot women and many are very friendly to talk with and even friendlier when giving lap dances. None of them are shy about where they put their hands and most don't care too much where you put yours and that's not even in the VIP...in there you definitely can go a bit further. Can't wait to go back again.
As a dancer for Platinum for seven years, I've been lurking here for about two. Tonight, I MUST respond to Shadowcat's last entry. I will begin by saying I began working in Greenville, opened the Maine club, and have worked in Columbia at Platinum and Heartbreakers.
I don't know Megan. In fact, I only know a few girls by name. But what I'm about to say is only to make you sit back and shut the f#@k up about the kind of dances you're getting.
First, and foremost, this is a Gentlemen's Club. If you (or anyone else posting here who wants or expects *more*) are looking for some *relief* by wearing shorts in the middle of the winter because you expect a hand/blow job instead of a DANCE, then take your perverted ass to Two Notch Road.
She sold you two-for-one *dances* not something to brag about here.
So, whenever you guys decide to grow out of spin-the-bottle or one-minute-in-heaven, then the big-boys' clubs will be there with adult *entertainment* (NOT hookers) waiting to perform.
Furthermore, and lastly, noone "auditions" the dancers. We are each independent contractors, so don't expect to pay the same to each or get the same type of treatment. Granted, bitchiness from the girls won't work too long, but neither will *expectations* on your behalf.
Truly,
missing a glass slipper
Not too crowded. A little slow Tuesday night they were running two for one dance specials every hour. Above average looking girls. Local crowd, dollar goes a long way here. Good mix of drinks from high end champagne and tequila. Lap dances are a notch below tampa and vegas but better than atlanta.
I gave the club a "1" rating to show you that no matter what numerical rating I give it. It will not change the club's overall rating one bit because I only have one vote and it still averages a "9".
Actually the club would have gotten my usual "9". It would be a "10" if it wasn't for the loud music and obnoxious DJ's. I gave the night manager a copy of the review by "texaholic" so that he could see what the customers think.
I entered the club around 2:00 P.M. on Valentines Day. And what to my wondering eyes should appear but rob0411 drinking a beer. There were about 15 dancers working. About normal for a day shift. 3 of my favorites were there. A normal customer count. rob had already soiled the best dancers so I had to take sloppy seconds. They knew that I was coming. Thanks to "pop". Around 4:30 everything died. The dancers all split to spend VD with their SO's. We were down to 4 dancers and not many more customers. Slim pickens. Rob left around 6:00. Around 7:30 dancers started coming in again. By 8:30 it was a pretty normal weekday night. Dancers and customers. I left around 11:30. I did meet some dancers new to me but none of them made my favorites list.
Day two. I entered the club around noon. A normal crowd and many of my favorite dancers were there. I got lap dances from all of them. It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it. Around 4:30 this dude comes up to me and asks if I am John. I remembered having just seen him in the couch room doing a lap dance directly across from me. I replied "Yes" and I met another TUSCLer, "uscue". Talk about the odd couple. He is a young black guy and I am an old white dude. But we got along great.
My "Bitch of the month" award goes to Megan. It has been a long time since I have named one. Talk about attitude. She was attractive and I am always interested in meeting new dancers. She asked if I wanted a lap dance. I told her that I had a lot of favorites here and that they will all do 2 for $20. She didn't like that at all and said "Name one". I pointed to one that was only about 10 feet away. She said "Ok, I'll do 2 for $20. We went to the couch room and she asked for the money up front. As soon as she was about to start the dance, she took my hands and placed them on the couch. Two feet in both directions. Each time I tried to move them in. She pushed them back. I said "This is not going to work". I just wanted to get up and leave. Fuck the $20. She countered with "I'll give you ONE good dance for the $20. I let her do it. Nothing to write home about. She won't last long.
In an email I was asked about a dancer named Hope. She was there Friday night. The DJ introduced her as an ex porn star. She looks like an over the hill porn star. Just like the usual "featured" dancers.
For you Anna fans, look for bigger things. She got a boob job on Friday. Damn it. I liked the real ones. I am told that the youngest dancer in the club is "Skittles" at 18. I am also told that London is the oldest. 48?
Day 3, Saturday. Normal small crowd but plenty of privacy in the couch room. I left around 4:30 with that warm fuzzy feeling.
Yes, I do get 2 for $20 with my favorite dancers. But I know from talking to my TUSCL buddies that, that is not the norm. Can be done if you are patient. Also my favorites tell me that I am getting special prices. I am a regular and I bring them customers. 2 for $25 or $30 is what you should expect. Many of the dancers told me how much they enjoyed our convention and wanted to know when we were going to do it again. They liked our group. They made some good money and had some fun doing it. I told them, this spring. I'll be back...
Stopped by yesterday for a couple of hours. It was Valentine's Day; a small crowd of customers but a pretty good number of dancers were available in the afternoon. By late afternoon, the number of dancers was down, and I would expect the same for the evening, although I didn't stay.
Dances were once again very good. The usual suspects were in evidence and in fine form. In addition, a new dancer to me, Zoe, was there and gave a very nice dance. Trained in ballet, her butt is a thing of beauty.
Recently visited Platinum Plus and Overall had a very good time, had dances from Meadow and Gwen that were both excellent. Had several other dances that evening that ranged from good to awful. The multiple bottles of brew made me a glutten for some of the less desirable girls that are there and for a few of the hot ones that can't dance a lick.
I had a couple of new girls I wanted to try but they were in such high demand that I couldn't get their attention. Also came in right at the "shift change" so some of the hotter daytime girls weren't there long. So the good news is there is almost always something at the club that will fit your taste.
I would suggest you come with plenty of cash since the ATM is a ripoff and also be ready to not be able to hear yourself think due to the music...there are a few spots that offer some relief from it but all in all a very loud club in the main area.
I visit Platinum about once every other month. I just can't afford it more than that. I always go with my gf and we have a great time. The most recent time was on Jan 29. A downside to bringing in a girl is that dancers will often ignore us and I can understand why that may be. However, my girl likes to be there as much as me so I often give her some dollars to go up to the stage. That usually works well because the dancers see that and become much friendlier to her and will come talk to us afterwards.
This last time was one of the best. My girlfriend is not at all shy once in the couch areas. Unfortunately I dont remember the name of the girl we had this last time (said she was in town for a week from Massachusetts). However, she was great. She got completely into it as we got our dances and told us $40 would be fine, after we had at least 3 if not 4 dances. Granted it helped that the dancer and my gf were really into each other.
I agree with most people that say it is way too loud in there. And I wish we had a sign over our heads that told all the girls that we are there to have dances because I hate it when we have to go chase after them but I do understand why they are a bit timid at first. So a note to any of the dancers that read this, don't be shy!
BTW, I have lurked here for a while, just now decided to post. I hope to be back soon.
Stopped by on Monday the 11th and was beginning to think it was going to be a wasted trip. two of my favorites were not working. But just as things were looking bleak, Delilah and Dallas saved the day. The ever present problem of music volume and the annoying dj was the only negative. Dallas was in rare form. She is hilarious when she starts singing along to the songs one hand up in the air. She had to announce to everyone that would listen that she and I used to work together. Delilah was awesome. This girl is a perfect combo of beauty, brains, and sweet disposition. She makes me want to change my name to Samson. These two made the absence of Austin and Mariah bearable. The only downside other the mentioned music & dj situation, was one new girl who definitely needs a new attitude. I won't name names, but this girl had a negative attitude. All she did was nag about how she wasn't making a much money as some of the others. People come to the club to have fun and get away from their problems not take on other people's problems. If I wanted to be nagged, I 'd stay at home or go to work. This girl could take a few lessons from Delilah or Austin.
Okay, so I had the day off today. Earlier this afternoon, I wrote a review about my excursion to a strip club in Charlotte from this past Friday. After I got done writing, I said "SCREW IT. I'm driving down to Columbia." I say now to thee, proclaiming it loudly: Platinum Plus between 4-8pm is The Mecca Of Strip Clubs. Either they had the music quieter, or I'm going deaf, or I found the one area where the music isn't deafening. Arrived about 4:30, and stayed until about 8:30. Could have stayed longer. Should have. SHADOWCAT, I must admit, your reviews persuaded me to made this place a regular spot, even though it's about 75 minutes away. Your tastes are excellent. This was my third time visiting PP since around Turkey Day '07, and I finally felt comfortable bartering a bit with the ladies I liked for better VIP values. Two for $60? No thank you, come again, try again. Two for $40? Okee. Two for $30? Let's make it six for $90! I guess I know what the term "buyer's market" means at PP now. Somehow, even after blowing over $250 in four hours, I felt like I got a good deal. Today I spent special time with Chardonay, Amy, Chandler, and two other women whose names sadly escape me at the moment. There were others whom I will eventually get to know a bit better as well. I could come here daily! Every time I thought about heading back home, I saw another beautiful woman appearing on the floor for the first time. I will be back again, of course, I only hope it's sooner, and not later. Hope to meet some of the other TUSCLer's...we can admire the views, and talk about bootiful wimmen & the art of Strip Club Critiques in between VIP excursions. I was flying solo on this trip, but it's always more fun when you've got buddies who are drooling along with you, enjoying the view, drinking a brew...thank you, PP, for another lovely time.
Great dancers, fun dances and good prices, what else does a club need? Right now, I can't think of a thing. I've been to the club several times but I'm just now writing a review. For those that may be new, it's a medium size club with a few of the "gentleman's club" decorations but none of the snootiness that you sometimes find at such places. Parking is easy and right outside but can be limited on weekends when the club can get very crowded. They promote a party atmosphere all the time with loud music (sometimes extremely loud) and decent drink prices at normal times with great prices during happy hour (4-8). Although it's not a huge place there are lots of dancers most of whom are great and lots of fun. There is a good core of regular dancers but also plenty of girls that travel in to work for a while. Just like anywhere, you can encounter a ROB but it would be tough to get taken here if you don't get talked into the champagne room (overpriced). Just discuss dance prices beforehand and say no to those girls that seem to expect $30 to 50 for a dance or want to go in that champagne room.
Stage tipping at one of the small (satellite) stages is one of the best things about this place. You will get a great show for a dollar and a pretty good preview what a couch dance will be. There is a new girl on each stage every song so if you like variety it works very well. If it's your first visit, do some stage tipping, you'll be surprised.
I don't mind buying a dancer a drink. There are none of those wate
