the ultimate strip club list

a guy's guide to strip clubs

Apparently they are now calling this place "Lady Godiva's" according to the signs outside. Late on a weeknight, there were 5-6 girls working, doing their bikini thing. I have to give some credit, however. Although they can't lose their tops, several offered some really close contact at the tip rail. Definitely enough to suggest a trip to the couches. I sampled dances from 3 or 4 and only one was hesitant on two-way contact. While you don't get to see a lot, it sure beats sitting in your hotel room watching HBO. Also heard recently that there is legal action underway to challenge GR's silly no topless rule. Let's home sanity and the First Amendment prevail!

I have been here before and submitted a positive review. Yesterday was different. There were only 2 dancers and they appeared not to be interested in what they were doing. One was so lazy on stage she could hardly mover at all and the other only new how to shake her butt. In the 30 minutes I was there, neither one approached me even though there was only one other customer who wasn't approached either. The only reason I gave a "3" rating is becaus it is a nice club. Other visit have been good but I feel each review should stand on its own. I will try again but it has to be better than this.

I don't get to Grand Rapids often & certainly wouldn't go there for the Clubs. The conservative religious right has just about run them out of business. So my "6" is relative to what they are allowed to do among the Puritans!
With that said, the Galleria is a beautiful club. Just unfortunate that there's only bikini dancing going on there. Very attractive girls on a slow weeknight recently, especially Nova and Sierra. Early 20's. Good personalities, as well as fine natural bodies! A couple of other average dancers on hand, too.
The Club is built from scratch within a former warehouse; top notch furniture, great lighting, excellent sound. A balcony (unused) with a second stage that overhangs the main level. Several alcoves with couches and flat screen TV's surround the main floor. Lap dance area behind a wall, back of the bar. Individual areas. Good privacy. Nice leather couches. Everything you need except a law that allows strip clubs...
If you find yourself in GR, it's worth a stop, anyway. Nova and Sierra are great onstage & Nova was amazingly good in VIP despite the rules. I'd call it a good "first date GFE."

The club set up is a 10. It's really a nice place and you forget you are in Grand Rapids when you enter, it's more like a Vegas club.

After the Wow factor upon entering, it's all downhill. I was there on a Thursday night and they had 3 girls, none of who were more than a 6. The bartender could not stop yawning enough to pretend to be interested in serving drinks to the 3 guys at the bar, and everything is a bit overpriced since it is a bikini bar only. I only stayed about 1/2 hour, which turned out to be 27 minutes too long.

Maybe if GR goes back to topless, I would come back, otherwise a complete waste of time.
