the ultimate strip club list

July 18, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 199

I had just come from Monty's to compare what The Fox had to offer. A cab driver told me he thought The Fox was better. It certainly was larger and had a bigger audience. I guess that means the locals like it better.

When I arrived there was a skinny girl dancing nude on stage. She had very small tits. Her main talent was a prolonged handstand while completely nude. Now I have to admit that is a visual image you don't often get at strip clubs. Overall I would rate her a 6 on the proverbial scale of 10. In other words her overall body appearance was at the high end of average. She would get a C+ for a grade in school.

As soon as she finished her dance they lowered four projector screens onto the stage and started showing some kind of sports broadcast. So it seemed the pace was going to be similar to Monty's - very slow.

I asked one of the other customers about private dances. He told me they just don't do that in Victoria. You have to go across the channel to Vancouver for that kind of action. So, just exactly how The Fox might be considered better than Monty's was not apparent to me.

As far as clubs in Vancouver go this is much better. It is a real action packed placed with a very, very lively atmosphere. There were a number of couples there which is not what i am used to south of the border. There was about 20 ladies working that night and most of them were in the 7 plus range. There was a stag party going on that took up a good number of them so there wasn't a great number of them left to work with. All in all, it was a great experience and I'll be back the next time I'm in town.

Visited the Fox on a Saturday night & it was hopping. It seems to be the place to go with a date for the 20 somethings as there were a lot of couples & groups of girls together. Altogether a fun time!! The private dancing however is not worth it (no contact either way). You'll see more at the main stage as the lighting is better & if you tip you will get a good show as long as you aren't embarassed to be seen appreciating the talent.

I was on the Island for a party last weekend and had some time to kill during the day so I figured I'd stop in and check out the Fox so I could post it's first review. It's a nicely laid out club, large and square with a round sunken level surrounding a large circular stage with two poles and a shower off a short runway to one side. Seating is plentiful around the stage, with a circular bench with small tables behind that, and a row of raised bar seating behind that. There are tables along the North, South and West areas behind those seats and booths along the North and South walls. The bar is on the West wall and there are pool tables in the area to the East behind the seats. Restrooms are behind the pool tables and the gent's was clean. The lighting level was fairly high for a strip club and I didn't see any fancy spotlight crap for blinding the patrons at stageside. Beer selection was good, a pint of pale ale ran me $7 with time and service was fair.

Vancouver Island clubs draw from the Vancouver talent pool and, since they have to pay lodging, they tend not to have as many dancers each week as in Vancouver. The up side to this is you get to see the best talent during the dayshift as well as at night: Tia Marie, Striptease and Beverly Blackburn all put on great sets while I was there, although being the afternoon the waits between sets were fairly long. They advertise private dances during the night, so I didn't get to see if they have any house dancers or if they rely on willing stage talent -- I also didn't see where they'd have any "private" area to perform in. However, it's BC so don't expect much in that department anyway if you go.
