the ultimate strip club list

a guy's guide to strip clubs

This is one of my favourite pubs so I am surprised that it is not already listed. It is run by the same management as the well reviewed Browns. The girls appear to alternate between the two so if you go to both, you may see the same girls. The quality of the girls and shows is the same. It is easiest to describe how it differs from Browns.

Smaller: both the pub and the stage. This is both good and bad. It gets more crowded at busy times and it is harder to get a good place by the stage. But, when you do get a good place, it is very good. Since the stage is smaller you are closer to the girls. Just one pole, nearer the edge, and no ledge around the stage. The girls may be just inches from you. If you are lucky, closer still. I have had girls press their bums against my face.

It is very busy on Friday and Saturday nights but eases off slightly after 11. Closes at 12 (unlike the 2 of Browns). I have only been lunchtime on a Saturday and it was dead. The girls will only go on stage if there are at least 5 customers. There was only one other so no point in waiting. I hopped on a 55 bus and in a few minutes, I was in Browns.

If you like Browns, try here as well, you may like it more. But go on a Friday or Saturday night, not Saturday lunchtime. Closed on Sunday. I don't know about other times.

You get the occasional woman customer, usually but not always half of a couple. Last Friday, there were 6 women customers which is unusual. One was really enjoying herself and dancing (dressed) between shows as a free extra to the other customers. None of these places is very inviting to women customers but this seems to be slightly more so than most of the others.

Down stairs is the bar and restaurant which has comfortable seating and makes a good place to meet and get some drinks in. The main floor is upstairs, there are tables and booths with the stage at the far end. Usually between 20-30 girls will be dancing. Topless on stage and for private dances on the main floor either at your table or in a quiet area at the back, these are £10. For a full nude it's £20 and you can be escorted by your dancer to the top floor where your private takes place for one song. Dancers vary a lot in their stage acts and private dances. some can be very acrobatic! Music is often r&b and charty, the club is comfortable but drinks are not cheap and bar staff will happily take your credit card to make payment convenient.

A good location, but not the best atmosphere as it isn't always too busy.
