the ultimate strip club list

July 18, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 199

Was in the neighborhhod and decided to check this bar out again. Came in about 7pm and asked if there were any dancers working that nite. Was told about three were about to show up. Just then a real cute short blond came in. Thing were looking up.

The club has gone from topless to bikini and as a result the whole atmosphere has changed. Gone is the goon/bouncer who sat literally right next to you during a dance. The dances are 7 floor and 10 for the VIP (no cover to get into the VIP) which is essentiall a couple of sofas in a partitioned corener of the bar. The prices are somewhat high as compared to the largers clubs in Tucson. The attraction here is more of a nieghborhood bar as opposed to a "destination" nite club.

Apparently the owner decided to revert to a bikini license as the topless cabaret license was not only restrictive but very expensive for a small club like this. All in all there were about 4-5 dancers, three regulars and a couple of floaters who come and go. The VIP's were not bad considering they were not topless, lots of grinding and some touching. The real down side, besides the dance prices, were the drink prices. On the high end., ie wells about 4:50 and foo-foo, umbrella drinks about 9!!. The girls on average were attractive. No Heavies, skanks, or druggies, rating about a 6-8.

I spent about 2 hours there drinking, chatting with about 2-3 girls, who like to come and sit, talk and even drink with you at the bar. The girls DO NOT recieve any money from drinks you buy them. All in all I had a good time.

The place has actually gone downhill from my last visit (if that is even possible) Came by on an early Saturday nite. There were 5 people in the bar. 2 Customers, a dancer, a bartender and a bouncer. A bouncer? what the hell for! He even patted me down, which is the most contact you'll get at this club. The dancer working wasn't half bad looking, but didn't dance very good. I did see the only other customer go to the VIP room (a cople of ratty sofas in a hallway leading to the kitchen) to get a "VIP" dance and was immediatley accompanied by the bouncer who hovered about 3 feet away during the whole dance. I previously encouraged people reading this board, to maybe go and support this mom&pop operation, but no more. It's a waste of time and money. I gave it a two only because the dancer was halfway decent and maybe I'll see her in a "real" club later on down the line.

Happened to be in the area and dropped in. It was still early, about 5pm. I had heard they had dances here in the late afternoon, prviously dancers didn't start until 8:00pm. There was one slightly overweight young dancer present. She did have a nice rack and was nice enough, but I was the only customer there for about 45 minute. To be fair, the rest of the dancers and patrons might not arrive until later, and maybe the energy levels would pick up. But there were ominous signs like : "DON'T touch the dancers" posted all around the bar. AND they have re-arranges the VIP room, with more couches and made it larger but it is now more out in the open and well lit. Anyone coming and going to the kitchen/storage area has a straight sight line. All -n all a not-so-good experience in the afternoon, but I will try in the evening to give a more even review.

I visited this club at around 6:00 pm on a Thursday. Layout was inferior, as was atmosphere. There was one dancer there, not very attractive, dancing in a very small room with windows all around. In addition there was a guy watching the dancer with eagle eyes...in my opinion nothing good could happen there. I spoke with the bouncer and he did say that things get better late at night but I have my doubts. Too many good clubs in Tucson to waste any time there.
