the ultimate strip club list

October 15, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 288

Only club left between Arcadia and North Hollywood, now that Pasadena Pleasures is gone. (Does anyone know if there will ever be another club run by the same people?)

Anyway, this club needs more dancers for lunch crowd, since that's the only time some of us can get out.

Dancers range from 3-8 in looks. Most are friendly, and not too pushy. VIP dances generally excellent, and songs are full-length.

I hope they make it, since it would be a long haul to the next club if it doesn't make it. Are there any plans for any clubs to open in the eastern San Fernando Valley or Western San Gabriel Vally region?

I was here on Thursday night killing time before a meeting in the area. The club was slow, probably only 6 or 8 girls. There were about the same number of customers. The lap dances are 30. While the songs were not cut much, they were tame. I guess that can be expected at a club on the Glendale boarder. I stayed about 45 minutes, had my soda and left. I will not be back unless I am stuck in the area. There are other clubs I would rather spend my time at.

Went to the Gentlemens Club on a Wednesday evening. It was completely dead. Just me and a strange man who spent most of his time writing on a yellow legal pad, sharing a grand total of three girls dancing. Strangely, though, one of the dancers and I hit it off and I had an enjoyable evening . . . but she says she works infrequently, so it is unlikely you would have similar luck.

The club has a main room with a stage and a row of booths along one wall for private nude dances. You can get 2 nude dances there for $50, very low mileage. All in all, there is not much to recommend this club.


The previous review is very accurate except for one thing. Starr gives the BEST lap dances!!! And if it's quiet, the stage dances include some lap dancing, which pleasantly surprised me. I was impressed with everything but the lack of alcohol (stupid laws), and lack of customers. But it was a Tuesday night, and I was there from about 8pm-11:30, not later when it's usually busier.

This is probably one of the best clubs in the L.A. area.

This club is technically located in LA but is located across the street from Glendale. In the last few years, walls have been constructed at the border making it just a little harder to come over to the LA side but it won't take too much trouble to figure out how to get there. There is street parking available but you can also optionally valet park on busy nights.

As you enter, there is a box office where you pay your $10 cover charge until 7pm, or $20 cover charge after 7pm, which includes 2 drinks. Z-VIP members get $5 off the cover charge anytime. If you want unlimited drinks, they are $15 during the day and $5 additional at night. They do offer some interesting drinks like Espresso and cappuccino, so ask your waitress. The club also offers $5 off the cover for Glendale residents. There's also a lunch buffet from Monday through Saturday from noon to 3pm.
Upon entering the club, the bar is on the right side, the stage (with 2 runways) comes out from the opposite wall. The lap dance booths are on the wall on the side of the street, the bathrooms, DJ booth and dressing rooms are all towards the back of the building. The men's bathroom and ATM machines are behind the mirrored wall of the stage. You can get there from the side of the bar. There is a vending machine near the bar as well.

Since my last visit, the club has gotten a makeover and the building, lighting, bathrooms, DJ equipment, and dressing room has been spruced up.

This club has never been known for nasty lap dances, which is still true, and used to be known for some knockout lookers. For a while, they lost their steam with the dancers but I'm happy to report that the scenery is coming back. Probally the best Dj ever in a Strio club gotta check him out DJ MATT ,his lap dances are long and he plays your request.Check this great club out .I perfer ftriday Nights there pack with hotties.

First visit to this club in over a year. Dances are still expensive at $30 for topless dances. The only good thing is that the song is fairly long. Two for ones seem to be a good value. There were a few lookers but the night I was there it seemed fairly slow. Maybe the fact that it was a wed. had something to do with it. The club is okay, but I am not going out of my way to check it out again soon.



I'd probably rate my experience there as a 5, but i'll give them the benefit of the doubt, since i went on a thursday a little after midnight. The club itself is actually quite nice. The neighbor hood looks to be very isolated. now to the good stuff, the lay out was okay with lap dance booths against the walls. They are somewhat secluded but the curtains stay open. The lap dances i got were moderate to good. I got to do a fair amount of touching. And the girls seemed really open to offers of two for ones even in the dj doesn't call it out. prices seem a bit high but i guess they are LA prices. 40 for nude. if i recall correctly.

interesting points - the club is well lit, so you really get to see what you get.. good or bad you decide.
- there is a mirror in the lap dance booth and i caught myself looking into it to see the girl better or give it a different perspective.

all in all not a bad place to hang out. probably need to go on a optimum night. And the club could do with better higher practices.. although they have a good mix of girls.. not one was a 9-10 range..


Very nice clean club in a dodgy neighborhood on the Glendale/LA border. I went around 5:30 on a Monday - pretty slow with 3 girls working. Basically the shows are one song, dressed to nude. Laps are 30, chair dances nude are 40 and couch dances nude are 50. They have 3 for 1 and 2 for 1 specials on the web-site. Not a huge nasty factor as I think it is trying to be more upscale.

Stopped in briefly at this club last Wed. While there were several really hot girls, but there was also some attitude. Lap dances are too pricey at $30 for a topless. Mileage was not that high. Anyway, it was okay to kill a little time when you are in the area, but I would not go out of my way to go there.

I can't really recommend this club. The first thing I noticed was that the bouncer seemed like some character right out of the Sopranos, lol. There are some cute girls here, but there are a lot of average ones too. I can't remember the exact number, but there weren't that many girls on staff. I went there at around 9 pm by the way. The lap dances aren't private at all and the mileage isn't too good. There are so many clubs in Southern California, you are better off avoiding this place.

The Gentlemen's Club is not back to its glory days, but has improved some since it bottomed out about a year ago. The lineup is about the same, no stunners and no uglies. There were about 10 dancers and not too many customers for a Saturday night. The stage show is very lively with close-and-personal attention from most of the dancers. The "do you want a dance" thing is a bit aggressive, but tolerable.

The dance booths are too exposed with open curtains, and the mileage is below par. With the high prices of the nude laps, the girls tend to settle for topless laps and slip their bottoms down a bit.

The prices are not attractive. $20 at the door (includes the mandatory 2 drink tickets) with no discount coupons for after 9:00 PM is on the high side. They also tried to sell you a $5 DVD at the entrance which gives a poor first impression. The price of their nude laps on a couch is ridiculous. Even on a Saturday night, all the dance booths were empty most of the time, and no more than 2 booths were occupied at any given time. The song length of the 2-for-1 and 3-for-1 is a joke.

I think they need to restructure their pricing to get the customers back. As it stands now, the value you get for the money is not competitive in the LA market.

After reading about this place, I went to check it out. I was a little impressed. I didn't see the multitude of ladies I was expecting. Instead there were only a few, all of them were quite attractive. The atmosphere was good and the music was nice. There were not a whole lot of patrons there either.

I did not opt to do any dances because the only lady who approached me pushed the lap dance and did not say much more. Had she talked with me, I would have said yes because she was really pretty.

You'll find this place on the wrong side of the tracks (literally) on the western side of Glendale. I stopped in just before 7 on a Wednesday and found it had 5 or so dancers with only 4 customers. Things stayed pretty quiet throughout the night, and in a couple cases I was the only guy at the rail. DJ looked like Kato Kaelin and was annoying, and didn't seem to be well liked by the dancers. As for the dancers, some were very good, others were definately sub-par. The clear favorites were Silk (sexy blonde with huge natural rack), Roxy (cute brunette with large fakes), Brooke (hot light skinned african american), and Asia (you guess). Roxy and Brooke gave me great attention just for sitting at the rail and tipping the usual. Around 8 or so I got to talk to Silk for around 20 minutes, and wow what a great lady. She didn't even mention a dance until the end, but I decided not to due to the $40 price tag. However after realizing that was nude with touching permitted, I finally caved in around 10 and went 3 dances with her. Oh boy, I left feeling like the luckiest guy in the club that night.

Stopped in on Friday as well, and only saw a couple new dancers. Talked to Silk some more and hooked up again for a couple dances. Despite being crowded and having more dancers, lots of them just sat around and there were frequent periods of nobody on stage and no private dancing going on. Maybe none of the customers had any money.

This club could easily be a below rating 5 if not for the few good dancers, mileage you get at the tip rail, and hands off management policy. There was no bouncer from what I saw, just a DJ and a manager who let the girls do their stuff. That makes it worthwhile to check out, in my book.

Went to GC Friday night around 10:30 PM until about midnight. Admission (including 2 drinks) was $20 at the door, and the parking fee was $5. This would have been OK if things were great inside, which they were not.

There were about 10 dancers. Although they were all very friendly and pleasant, I am afraid the majority were on the heavy side. Only 3 dancers would be considered lap material in my book.

There were only a handful of customers at 10:30 PM, and perhaps 20 at the peak. It was a younger crowd with somewhat similar features. They seemed to know each other and it felt like a group of friends hanging out.

The two stages in this club are excellent, nicely laid out and well lit. Only one stage was open, and at times it was empty for several minutes. The stage work was very good and the personal attention was great :) .

I would have done several laps if it weren't for the random song lengths. It was not clear when the song began and ended, whether we were in a song or a music break between songs, etc. The regular song length varied some, but it was generally more than 3:00 minutes, which is good. The 2-for-1 and 3-for-1 were worse than a lottery. The DJ would announce them at the time they would actually start, so there was no time to look for your favorite dancer and get to the booth. Sometimes the total length of the 2-for-1 was less than one regular song. There was no pattern at all. I gave up after trying to time them for an hour, and decided that I cannot pay for a lap dance whose length can be anything the DJ feels like at the time.

The layout of the club is nice, and it would be a lively place if there were twice the number of customers and the dancers, like the old days. The music was too loud, and that hastened my decision to leave. I must say that the entire staff was quite friendly. I wish it was a better club.

I suppose I should have listened to the previous reviewers. I had never been to this club before, so I had nothing to compare it to, but I found the experience to be less than pleasing. I went to the club in the middle of the day on a Thursday, which is always a little unusual and I have come to expect a smaller crowd and the B or C level girls. But in this case there were no girls worth discussing at all. The general atmosphere had kind of a strange vibe to it; nothing I can really describe. I only spent about an hour before I decided I was wasting my time. There are a lot alternatives for good clubs in the Valley.

I really wonder what happened to this club. It used to be fairly low pressure and had some really great looking girls. Evidently management changed a little over a year ago and shook things up. A lot of the girls who were there for a while left and the place has gone downhill. There are better choices in LA but I guess because it is the closest club to Glendale it survives.

Boy, what a disappointment. Last time I was here (all right, it's been years) they had some real stunners, almost up to the level of the Bare. But this time around the talent was at a far lower level, and their rather bossy attitude about where they would let me sit got me annoyed from the start. Place was empty (daytime) and I didn't stay long. Unfortunate, as there's not a lot of choices in that neck of the woods -- when in the valley, I guess stick to Van Nuys.
