the ultimate strip club list

a guy's guide to strip clubs

I had high expectations for this place, but I found it to be slighty disappointing. The girls, although beatiful, didn't seem very excited to be dancing and made me wonder why I had paid to be rejected. The atmosphere of the room however was very nice and more high class than other strip clubs that I have gone to. I might attribute the lack of people to the day that I went, but I was expecting more since LA is known to be constantly alive.

Was staying at the hotel just down the street so decided to take a jaunt to this theatre. Normal cover is something like $20 but I was able to get in for "free" with the LA Weekly coupon. Still had to pay something like $12 for the two drinks.

You walk in and the place feels kind of like a dive. A bit smoky, not necessarily high class, low ceilings. Took a seat at the stage and it's well-designed in that the girls are very very close to you. Maybe too close. A total of about 10 other dudes in there around midnight on a thursday night. Two black girls were there as well, and they only went up to the stage to watch/tip when a black girl was dancing. Interesting.

Well, I sat back and tried to enjoy the show. But honestly, the girls on stage weren't doing it for me. That's not to say there weren't lookers. There was this Russian girl who wasn't stage dancing but was offering laps. She was close to a knock-out. Finally, a real Russian beauty! So I had a few topless dances with her followed by a VIP. She's a beaut. Mileage was not high, but it wasn't an air dance either. Some basic grinding, and some "hands on" action during the VIP.

I left this Star Strip Theatre thinking that it captures the tragic beauty of a strip club in La La Land. "Hollywood sells californication..."

I used to DJ at the Star Strip in the 90's. This club has been remodled along with it's sister club Crazy Girls on Sunset. Ask for waitress Barbara and tell her Fish sent you when you get your drinks. I'll drive all away across the valley and Hollywood for two $4 watered down Orange Juices. There are some nice looking babes here and it's an easy pit stop off Laceniga near the Beverly Center. Theres no alcohol, but you can go to the pub across the street and tank down a few before you ride the rides. You may get tired of hearing Girls Girls Girls every 2-4-1 but I guess it's the lap dance that counts. Tip the DJ and tell him to phatten up those songs to 3 minutes 30 seconds and more when it gets late when your getting you lap dances. Week days are slow and quiet with a few girls. Week nights schedual more dancers. Weekends can get packed. This is a great place to watch for movie and rock stars in the crowd. Movie award nights bring in Kevin Spacey and friends, I've seen Chris Farley before he died on a regular basis, Dave Chappelle, Karrem Abdul Jarbar, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Quinton Tarentino and a lot of B actors. For your choice of Hollywood Strip Clubs, The Star Strip is pretty cool. be sure to hit the ATM before you go to the club. The ATMS are strippers within themselves with up to $10 fees for one cash withdraw. You should actually put the ATM on stage with a purple thong to Soundgarden.

Entered this establishement on a Friday night around 11 pm, using the "free entrance" coupon from the LA Weekly. This meant instead of paying $20 for 2 non-alcoholic drinks, you pay $10 for 1 non-alcoholic drink. Woohoo. Typical for a club, the music was way too loud. At least the sound system could handle the loudness and the music was decent rock - instead of the usual hip hop strip club trash. Lighting was so bad sometimes you could not even tell if a girl was black, white, latino, or asian unless you got close. Wierd. Girls come around and ask for a lap dance. Every one of them made not the slightest attempt to really connect with me. If one had, she might have got some business. The girls were all natural - a rarity. Most were very fit, small breasted. Some with fabulous long hair. But with one exception, the show dancing was a disappointment. All the girls were on fast forward, very, very fast moves - nearly zero eye contact during the show dancing, and I after putting out dollars for 7 girls, only one actual paid any attention to me - and I'm a reasonably attractive fit guy. That girl, was very enthusiastic Philipino named Asia. So, I did a 2 for 1 lap dance ($40), and she was fun and very energetic. Great mileage. The distance of the other girls means I won't be going. Too bad, because the interior of the club was pretty nice, and the couches were great.
