the ultimate strip club list

September 5, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 248

I dropped by on a Monday afternoon. There were lots of cars in the lot and a lot of customers inside. Most of the customers tended to be older white guys in their golfing outfits. The girls are friendly and most are good looking. The stage dancing was not all that great as the lighting was very poor. The black girls sometimes disappeared from view. The dance prices are also very high compared to Tampa. Check reviews below for specifics. I did get a topless dance or two from Paige who I remember form a couple of years ago. She does a wonderful dance that is worth the price. I would recommend you take her to the VIP room for an unforgettable experience and a sample of why this club is better than most in Tampa. I just wish they would turn up the stage lights.

Went on a Wednesday & Thursday night. Admission fee was less than 10 dollars. Topless lap dances are $20. Fully nude dances are $40 each. VIP is $200 for 30 minutes.

I highly recommend starting out with a $20 dollar dance to get familiar with the dancer, then from there decide if you want to take it further.

The club had a nice mix blonds & brunettes. All the women were attractive & friendly. This club is definitely better than anything Tampa has to offer. You won't get the typical "Don't touch me, there's a camera in here" from these women. The dancers do NOT constantly bug you to take them to VIP.

Thanks

visited club around 330p on Tuesday 6/17. good crowd. lots of dancers. too many anorexics, too many tattoos, too many bolt on boobs. Was happy to see my old fav Paige working. Tipped her on stage and asked her to come see me when she was done. she did so and after a previous promised dance for another customer, she came and sat with me. as soon as she sat down her hand was in my lap working me. We hit the back room after paying $40 to the house. two songs go really fast when you are getting a BBBJ to oral completion and DATY. at the end she asked me for $160. I laughed and told her she could have all I had left which was about $75. she said ok and said I owed her. I really enjoy spending time and money with Paige. it is obvious she enjoys what she does, and does it very well. She may not be for everyone, since she is a little older and loves to talk, but she is the reason I visit Bare Assets.

I dropped into the Bare Assets 12:45 PM having heard a while back that the incomparable (38 triple Ds) Allison, late of the Tanga, might be working there. It was not to be...

There were a dozen or so dancers, half of them in a hen clutch, drinking and smoking; a couple were standing on the other side of the room talking and smoking; one was sitting at the bar playing a video game (or maybe texting) on her cell. A couple were actually tending to business, sitting with and chatting up customers. I could not see everyone well, and did not wait until all had done their pair of songs -- by the way, some bared their "assets" and some didn't -- but from what I could see, about 80% were past their prime, assuming they ever were prime. There were several pairs of silicone enhancements, and several more that really needed it. I did not see anyone opt for a lap dance, although a small group og guys did install themselves into the "hen party" so maybe something developed there.

Brooke, the young lady who spent time chatting me up was better looking (nothing great, though), younger, and firmer than most. She came equipped with a bandanna which I suppose would have wound up in my lap (ala Katherine and Heather @ YSC) had I accepted her proposition. For my taste that is really way too sterile and antiseptic for something that is supposed up close and personal. If these girls don't want to be touched, maybe modeling would be a better career choice than lap dancing... I told her "no thanks." She left. A few numbers later when she danced, she was one of those who did not bare her assets; methinks I made the right choice. No one else approached. The show was really mediocre, so I left as well.

very busy club,pretty and polide ladies.latte night turned out to be very ghetto.admison was $9 drink prices are fair.some girls have no business to dance in any club.they have topless dances for $20 and nude $40 ,30min.VIP rooms are $200,incl.2 complementary drinks of your choise,realy not a bad deal with the right kind a girl.Some will do more than others so you have to feel them out first,to invest your money smart.

This will be a brass tacks review for the out of town set. Unless you happen to be in Holiday, Florida there is no need to go out of your way to check this place out. It isn't a bad club. The layout is reasonable and there is a good amount of room with comfortable chairs on wheels. I think I'll start calling them Tampa chairs because those little oval seats seem to be in every club in the area. There is one main stage and a satellite. I prefer the alternate stage myself because it is more interactive. The bar is well stocked and the drink service is fast and friendly. So far all of this sounds good, so what's the issue? It's a locals club through and through, and I suppose it just wasn't my type of crowd. When I want to go to a bar I go to a bar. When I want to see strippers I go to a strip club. This place is about a 50/50 split. Got a couple of dances (one nude, one topless) from a couple of rookies who really need some more seasoning before they go around promising the world. But they were cute at least. One had been there a week, one a month. Not a lot of lookers, but a nice group of girl next door types that I could take the time to talk to if I was from that town. The blonde waitress in the short shorts and tank top (who said used to work at Emperors) had the body of death. Can't recall her name but you can't miss her. Too bad she (and the brunette bartender busting out of her top) weren't dancing. Overstayed a bit to make sure I gave the club a legitimate chance to impress, then left for other destinations and didn't look back. Before I forget, the nude lap dances here are a ridiculously priced $40 per song. Let's just say the upsell attempt for the VIP room met a quick end about 30 seconds into the $40 test drive. Since she was really good company beforehand, I wrote it off as the cost of doing business. With any luck YMMV. Might be better on the weekends, but the dancers I met said it was really crowded and hard to move around on those days. Try this club out for yourself if you have to, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're closer to Tampa.

I've always wanted to visit Bare Assets, but I never had a chance. I've read some great reviews here on TUSCL and on other websites. Either a big rainstorm would back up traffic on US-19 and I couldn't make it, or I was never in the area. I finally decided to visit on Sunday, May 4. I arrived at 6:45 pm and they were switching over to the night shift.

My first impression of the club was that it's dark! I sat far away from the stage and I could hardly see the dancer on the stage. All I saw was a dark blob on the stage. I sat closer and I could see the dancer better. Dancers ranges from 7-10s. One thing that struck me is that most dancers left you alone most of the time. When I first walked in, I think one dancer asked me for a dance. I started tipping dancers on stage. When the dancer finished their set, they did come down, thanked me for the tip, and asked for a dance. A polite "no" did not aggravate them and they weren't aggressive about the refusal. During the day shift, I did get topless dances from Britany and a dancer whose name began with a "M." I don't recall her name, but she said that she was a mix of four races. Topless dances were $20. Hands roamed freely (no touching between the legs though) and there was a good amount of grinding. Nude dances were $40, but I didn't partake in any. I don't see how different they would be with the grinding on a nude dance.

The night shift came and one stunner came out...Sunny Adams (that's what the DJ called her). She was a blonde, a 10, and had a body that brought me to my knees. I tipped her a lot when she did the stage session. I took her for 2 topless dances in the back. I hate to say it, but when I saw her first, I thought she was a typical stuck-up dancer bitch. During the dances, though, she was very friendly and seemed very smart. I asked her for some VIP dances. It was $200 for the half hour and the dancer would be nude during the entire session. A drink for the dancer and you were included.

I took Sunny into the VIP room. I had heard stories of extras in the back, but I don't see how. There was a small opening to the room, but no door or curtain. Someone could easily look in and see any naughty doings. I wasn't looking for extras, but a great dance. Not only did Sunny give a great dance (and she has the most perfect real breasts I've ever seen!), but she likes to talk and put on a great conversation. Yes, you might think I'm weird because I talk to the dancers during the lap dance, but she was really great in talking and was very smart. How about that -- a smart dancer!

After the VIP dance, Sunny sat with me at the bar and chatted for another 30 minutes before I had to leave. I think other dancers would probably go to another customer or run to the back after a VIP session.

The VIP room seems expensive, but if you think about it, it really isn't. Nude dances are $40. If songs are 4 minutes, then in 30 minutes you will have about 7 songs. $40 x 7 = $280. If you bought a beer, that's $4. Another drink for the dancer would be around $5. So if you got a dance in the regular room, you would be paying around $289. Plus, you don't have privacy as other dancers are dancing around you. If you want to do the VIP room, find a dancer you really like and take her back there.

Overall, Bare Assets in a pretty nice club, even though they could turn the lights up a tad. If I were to visit again, I'd probably go during the nights to see Sunny.

Was back here a few weeks ago and managed to hook up with India, an older Latina with a nice rear-end and big, albeit not exactly perky, breasts. She gave great dances in the VIP room letting my hands roam everywhere but where the sun don't shine. No extras were offered. Overall, a good time, but a little steep at $150, although you do get a full half-hour for that price. The drinks were reasonably priced and the girls were friendly as usual, but they tend to flock towards the regulars.

Returned from Florida again recently and went here again. great overall club. I went in the afternoon on a Wednesday and there musthave been about 10 girls, most in the 7-8 range. I sat at the stage and tipped and drank 3 dolla beers all afternoon. The girls here are really friendly which is why i rate the club so high. They really like to sit and talk and I paid a couple of them to sit on my lap and shoot the breeze for a while. There are liberal rules in the VIP area and I have heard at night there are some stunnig women here. One of them said she danced at Mons and I believe it. check out the website. I dont recall seeing any of them from the website during m y visit but if those girls are around that is quality talent. probley one of the better clubs in the tampa area right now.

Was here for part of the day shift in mid-February. It's certainly a good time.

I spent some time with a dancer who certainly wasn't the hottest in the club, but was very friendly (both in terms of personality and in where she put her hands). After one topless dance, she went on stage. A bit later, we did the half hour for 150. Had a very good time. The best part is that she didn't ask for anything for extras or beg for a tip. She simply went to work and we both had fun.

Definitely worth an afternoon stop.

Since my last review, the club has hired a ton of new dancers for day shifts. While most of the old favorites are still around, some of the new women are fine, eager to please, and just as friendly. While the influx of new blood may not be the greatest thing in the world for the dancers, it's great for customers. Most afternoons I've been in, the dancer to customer ratio is nearly 1:1.

If you are a beer drinker, $3.25 domestic bottles is about the best price you'll find in any strip club, much less a full-nude, full-contact club with alcohol. Shots and wells are similarly well-priced, while the good stuff costs significantly more. I recommend waiting for 2-for-1 shot specials if you plan on drinking something like Patron(TM) unless you're a high roller.

Spent two very enjoyable afternoons there in mid-January. Everything said about the afternoon shift below is true. What could be better than sitting with a drink and a smoke watching beautiful naked (OK, often only topless, but that depends on tips) women on stage, while contemplating disappearing into the back with the friendly one sitting next to you? Nicole, Bree, and several others gave me a great time. Take a trial run with a $20 topless, and you can see whether you want more. The $150 half-hour special may seem steep, but not when compared to the $40 nude single dances. This is a laid-back, no-hassle kind of place which is a nice contrast to the usual Tampa hustle.

I agree with previous reviewers about quality of day shift dancers. Stopped in Saturday, since I was in the area (rarely am). I was amazed at how a club could not charge a cover AND sell a beer for $3.25 while Tampa clubs charge $5 for water.

Didn't bother with a private dance, the two who most appealed to me were busy with customers but had a fund time at the stage. I'll probably opt for another visit in the daytime soon.

Previous reviews have pretty much been right-on. I stopped by here day shift and there about 10 girls that day. Most of them were about 7-8's, and very friendly and personable. A couple of the girls here told me they were former Mons Venus girls and I believe them based on their looks. Beer was 4 bucks a shot, no cover during the day. I did get a girl to deal with me on dances, shorty with blonde hair, real sweet girl. I stayed well-behaved during the dances but I probably could've pushed the limits without too much trouble. This is a good stop, I recommend it!

Definitely my favorite club in the Tampa area. Full nude, alcohol. Decent contact lap dances. I prefer the day shift, and often head there after work just to unwind. The bar staff is extremely friendly. The club is clean, but dark, with a single stage and large bar. Plenty of seating for patrons is available. There is both a semi-private lapdance room as well as private VIP booths. They also have a private champagne room with a flat-screen tv.

The day shift dancers are some of the friendliest dancers in town. There is always a good assortment of body types, ages, and personalities. On a given day shift, you can expect between 10 and 20 dancers.

Completely agree with the previous posts about the difference between dayshift and nightshift dancers. I was here a few days ago and stayed from 5:30pm to about 8pm, experienced both varieties. Dayshift girls were definitely more sensual and more willing to please. Sexy Valerie went all out for me in the VIP room, and completely blew my mind among other things. Several other dancers provided full access to places nightshift dancers wouldn't dare.

Hottest girl on the nightshift, Max, had a proportionately crappy attitude. This girl was as hot as anything you will find at Mons Venus, but it was obvious she does not like her job and thinks she is too good to be touched... dances were downright painful as she tried to use her leg to pound your crotch area while keeping her "goodies" completely covered up. Paid her $20 for one dance in the topless-only area, and told her to stop less than one minute into it.

Other than her, all of the girls here seemed to have awesome and pleasant attitudes. The big-breasted blonde cocktail waitress was one of the hottest girls there and probably the nicest of all (sorry, forgot her name). If you're looking for sensual dances with awesome contact, go dayshift. If you're more into a Mons Venus-style of club, nightshift is your best bet.

Just as in my previous visit here (reviewed June 5), I experienced mixed success over two days, which proves the wisdom of the advice "YMMV" if nothing else.

First day, afternoon visit produced a sensuous but not overly high mileage LD session with Brie, while in the evening Amanda lured me to the couch with her flirtacious demeanor on stage but disappointed when we got there.

The following day I was getting bored sitting at the bar when I was double teamed by Stevie and Joie, who insisted on entertaining me as a duo (or maybe a quartet, if you get my drift). Their double LD was sensory overload and I left happy, broke, and wishing I was younger and/or wealthier.

Still no daytime cover charge, so the possibility of something like the Stevie-Joie encounter makes it easier to overlook the inconsistency. I'll return.

visited 13/3 around 2pm. club was empty. High girl to guy ratio. sat down at bar and much to my surprise, my favorite club dancer, Paige, was sitting right next to me. She didn't recognize me at first, but when I refreshed her memory she was very friendly.. was honest about being low on funds. watched her dance on stage. went into topless room for some fun. we were all alone. during both dances willy was out for a BBHJ and i was allowed unlimited access to the kitty. asked about OTC for later, she gave her number but I deleted it off my phone. Was very happily surprised to see Paige. didn't pay any attention to other dancers during my short visit.

I seem to only get here in the afternoons. The dancers rate very high for day time staff. Very friendly, very attractive ... and stark naked. Tough to beat!

There is no cover charge during the day and beers are less than $5 so it will be a very worthwhile stop if you are on the Northwest side of Tampa.

Guys --
I stopped in at Bare Assets last week, during a business trip to the Tampa Bay area. It was during the day, so there was no cover charge. They were running a drink special = 2 for 1 well drinks ($4.75 buys you two). And - the beers were only $3.25 for a domestic longneck.

However, that's where the good news comes to an end. I was not impressed with this place. I went there with high expectations, because the TUSCL website has some pretty favorable reviews. What I experienced was entirely different. The strippers were not friendly at all. The bitch behind the bar was a very rude cunt, not nice to the customers at all.

Some of the girls would get up to do their dance set on stage, and they would forget to undress. When I tipped at the stage, there is absolutely no mileage at all, for your tip. Maybe it gets better in the back room. I don't know about that, because none of the girls got me excited, so I did not take anyone to the back.

If you do decide to go back for a personal dance, here's the scoop:
$20 per song for a topless lapdance
$40 per song for a nude lapdance
$150 will buy you 30 minutes in the VIP

In general, I do not recommend Bare Assets. Go down the street to Extasy, where the girls are much friendlier, and easy to talk with.

As promised, I came back last Wednesday during dayshift and had a spin with Valerie in the VIP room. $150 for the full session, but $50 went to the DJ and only $100 for the girl, which is totally ripping off the girl. As expected, the dances were awesome, although I did not ask for any extras (did not have the extra money to spend even if they were offered). I tipped her at the end, since like I said, $50 going to the club is complete BS. As good as the VIP was, I think you get more for your money with the nude or topless dances if you only plan to be there for 4 songs or less. Anything over 4, you're better off in the VIP. I tried out another girl (forgot her name) in the topless area at $20 per song, but the dances were very tame and not much "roaming" with the hands or mouth was allowed, which was a bit disappointing. Seems like this club is HIT OR MISS, depending on if you find the right girl. I give the club itself a '7' and Valerie a '9', so we'll give it an '8' overall.

Stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon. Things were very slow, with only about six girls working and not many more customers. They serve alcohol here and its about the only place in Pasco County where you can get a drink on Sunday. All the girls were around a 7 or 8 with a real spinner on the dance floor when I walked in that was a 9. All the girls where apparently obligated to a customer so I never got a chance to try the dance menu. Very dull place on Sunday afternoons. Weekday afternoons are completely different.

My first visit here on a Wednesday afternoon after a multi-year absence... and WOW, have I been deprived all these years. This club has just about everything you could want: friendly girls, cleanliness, solid ambiance, and LIQUOR!! (the long drive and horrible US19 traffic was really the only negative). The girls were fairly attractive, mostly in the 6-8 range, but this was very early on a Wed., so I'm guessing the first teamers are every bit as hot as previous posters have described. In any case, they offer dances for every kind of budget. I got $20 dances from Valerie, a cute sexy blonde with some junk in the trunk and for being plastic, a nice set of boobs. These were the absolute best $20 dances I've ever had and all I could think about was getting wilder with this girl, but I did not want to spend the $150+ for the VIP. At least not today. Most likely, I will be back... from the sounds of it, these girls will go above and beyond the call of basic lap love for the right price... I can't wait to find out for sure the next time I go, which will be soon!!

I have been to Bare Assets the past two Friday nights and it was fantastic. The girls are mostly 8-9's with a couple 10's. The best part is they are very friendly without being pushy. Even the bouncers are very friendly. Drink prices are reasonable and full nude private VIP room for 30 minutes at $200 is worth it. Its about a 30 minute drive from Tampa but blows away all the Tampa clubs. All in all the best club I have been to in the Tampa area.

I stopped in on a slow Wednesday night around 10:30 PM. The place was pretty empty, but there were enough girls around to entertain the crowd. They don't have any specials on Wednesdays, but they do have a friendly group of gals.

I got a dance from Jenna, a very pretty blond with dreads. Nice experience. Will definately go back.

$20 topless dances in curtained room full of couches, $40 full nude in private booth. I think the cover was around $12, and I drank water @ $4/bottle.

Two stops on a recent Tampa visit allow me to expand on my previous review of February 17.

A Saturday afternoon stop just after the monsoon moved through was highlighted by a topless dance from Stevie, a healthy-looking American blonde who seemed to enjoy her work. She had several special touches, and if that's not a double entendre, I never wrote one. Personable with no upsell. Highly recommeded.

Slipping in on Monday night I was determined to explore the nude dance room and found a likely candidate in a shapely Filipino. The mileage pegged the Peter Meter, so I definitely got my forty bucks worth, but it seemed vaguely mechanical. So follow the advice of previous reviewers and take a test drive for $25 in the topless area before ordering the option package.

In my previous review I dissed the customers sitting at the bat watching sports on TV. I found myself doing the same thing during my Saturday visit. Sorry guys. Anyway, Saturday was a 9, Monday was a 7, so we'll give this trip an 8.

There have been a number of changes since I last reviewed this club, which is still my favorite. They remodeled the area in the back, where the second stage is. The second stage is much nicer, with more and better seating. They added two small private rooms along the back wall -separate from the old VIP area, and for a nude dance those are the ones you want - lots of privacy. The old VIP room was cut up into more, smaller "rooms" - they added a desk where you check in (inside the VIP area - bad idea), and the rooms are tiny - just a little bench seat. No curtains, just strings of beads. And the price went up - $200 for a half hour, still the best deal around. There is a new Executive VIP area, just one room, in back of the front, topless private dance room. $350 for a half hour, but the room is large, with lots of room to "spread out" - comfortable furniture, and decent privacy. Whether this is worth it is absolutely dependent on the girl you choose. If the added privacy isn't going to get you any more mileage, don't do it. At Bare Assets, the girls are great, top quality and with something for everyone. But the club, to its credit, allows the girls to maintain their own "rules" that are more strict than the club's. So it's not a bad idea to invest in a couple of $25 topless dances before you head for the VIP room. Bare Assets is clean, well-vetilated (cigars allowed), festive and fun - and they make you feel welcome.

Dropped by for an early evening visit recently. Had never visited while it was still daylight outside. I'd heard the afternoon's could be a fun time. Perhaps I should have gone earlier because they seemed to be doing a lot of shift changing. Not many girls on the floor. I had a drink at the bar and waited a while. I saw no familiar faces and no one I cared to spend time with. Finished my drink and left- will return but probably a little later in the evening.

Made my first visit to this club after reading mostly positive reviews. My visit was only so-so.

First the positives: Beautiful girls, fun atmosphere, comfortable seating.
Now the negatives: $40 a pop for a nude dance (too expensive), way too crowded on a Saturday night (you could barely move), very loud music

This place may have worked better for me on a date/time other than Saturday night. But this was the only time I was able to go. Got there about 8:00 and stayed until closing. After entering, I sat at the bar and was immediately approached by a young blonde (forgot her name) who said she had just started working there a few weeks ago and was attending nursing school. The music was so loud I could barely hear her even though she was probably giving me 50% BS anyway so it didn't really matter. She suggested the private dances and she expalined that more fun could be had with the $40 nude dances as opposed to the topless dances. I had my doubts but I thought I would see what she offered. Just as I suspected, it was pretty much an air dance with a little grinding and a little bit of climbing up on the chair and showcasing her bare crotch just above my head. That might have been okay (she was hot) except the booth was fairly dark and thus you couldn't really see anything. I ended it at one dance knowing it wasn't going to get much better.

The rest of the night I hung out around the main stage and dropped George Washingtons. For the next four hours I saw many, many more nude girls give as good or better of a show and received just as much contact overall for probably about the same $40 as I dropped on the one girl in the private booth that lasted all of three minutes.

Twice during the evening they brought all the girls out and offered a 2-for-1 topless special and a free T-Shirt. But, I didn't go for it either time.

All in all, there are some really hot girls here and I would guess that you can get better service and more for your money duing the non-peak times. But for a Saturday night, it's best just to sit around the stage and be an observer.

My afternoon visit avoided the cover charge and the crowding that drew complaints from the reviewers below. About half a dozen dancers with a dozen customers, but half of the guys were transfixed by the TV's behind the bar showing horse racing and skiiing, so that evened out the numbers. The barmaid was cute, but not that cute! Guys, get with the program. You can watch ESPN at home.

Interior simple but clean, comfortable chairs, music a little loud, girls attractive and friendly. Except for the chairs, that's the old Tanga Lounge formula as I mentioned in a review of this club a couple of years ago. (If you just walked in, the Tanga was on Route 60 in Tampa but fell to highway expansion.) A topless dance with Tasha proved the mileage to also be of Tanga standards. Definitely worth another trip, despite the awful traffic on US 19.

Positives: (1) Beautiful girls (2) Nice place (3) Big selection

Negatives (1) Steep cover (2) Nude dances $40 (3) Very crowded (4) Locals rule the roost (5) The bouncers try to intimidate the customers, even if they are behaving. It's like they are daring you to goof up, even when you are trying to be a gentleman.

From now on, I'll drive on down to the Courtney Campbell Causeway and cross on over to the other side. Tampa clubs have less BS.



Tried to control myself, but went back to Bare Assets on Wed 12/19 around 1pm. Had limited time and money so I hoped I could find Juliana and have some more fun. Club was very slow, lots of girls there. better selection than the day before. Juliana was onstage when I walked in. she was dressed in a two piece outfit that showed off a number of tattoos that were not visible yesterday. spent 3-45 minutes talking and laffing before we headed for the topless room. had the room to ourselves for one song, then were joined by a tattletale dancer who caused Juliana to back off on the contact allowed. All in all I enjoyed myself, but didn't get as deep inside as I did the previous day.



Visited club on Tuesday 12/19 from 5pm to 7pm. club was full of customers but seems a little short on dancers. did not recognize any of my favs from past visits. Dancers that were there were not up to normal levels. only had one dancer come up to me and ask for a dance. was ready to leave when Juliana hit the stage. He is a little older, much classier and hot as hell. Spent over an hour talking and laughing with her. she is recently back on stage after a 10 yr hiatus. She is gorgeous, smart, funny and gives a great dance. since she was wearing a mesh catsuit, she offered nudes in the topless room for 20 per song. Dances were excellent. no limits on touching with fingers or lips. has the greatest eraser nips! she seemed to enjoy having my finger inside her for the third song. Thankfully Juliana saved this trip from being a really bad one.

Damn! Visited this club recently on a Wednesday evening/night expecting to be somewhat disappointed and was pleasantly surprised - especially after the $9 cover charge. By the time I left, the joint had about two dozen dancers and had (finally) opened the satellite stage.

A minor negative in addition to the steep cover (I arrived around 7:30pm) was that the music was a tad bit on the loud side and that a handful of the 25 dancers hovered in the 4-5 range (and didn't really seem to have the requisite skills for the job). A bigger negative was that this place seemed to cater to the local crowd of discontents; whom most of the dancers seemed to spend a lot of their time socializing with rather than hustling the clientele. Net result...I left with money in my pocket that I'd rather have put in their thongs.

On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and courteous - this includes everyone from Long Island at the front door to the DJs, bartenders and wait staff. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't have minded seeing one of the bartenders or waitresses up on stage. But I digress. The real reason for the top end score was the talent. With the exceptions noted above, the dancers ranged from 7-10 with most scoring a hard 8 (and I'm a hard grader!). Topped out by the likes of Cherokee (a top drawer brunette with a "special skill" for drawing attention to her finely toned ass), Erin (a smooth and sexy brunette with all the right curves and all the right moves), Razelle (a delightfully sensuous sparkplug with heels), and Mercedes (a charming vixen with a long, ass-slappin' mane of jet black hair). Of course, to top it off there was Asia - simply ... perfection in a g-string!!!

With a little more privacy for the lap dances, the satellite stage being continuously "in play", and the volume dialed down a notch or two, this place would score a 9. If you could pry the entertainers from the locals and be more selective in contracting dancers, heck even a 10 is within reach.

Always a strong showing of pretty girls. Although local in nature the girls are all pretty nice and beautiful. Went there shortly after a couple of meetings in Tampa on Wednesday and the turn out was still pretty nice. They had a couple of drink specials going on and dance specials since the place was rather sparse to say the least. Left before all the fun started to catch my flight back home.

Nice small club in northern Tampa Bay. Alcohol served. Pretty girls that get naked on stage most of the time but not always. $20 topless dances with two-way contact. I haven't tried the $40 nude dances or the $200 half hour private room sessions. Dayshift is less crowded but less girls to choose from. Nightshift is too crowded for this small club, but the best girls on nightshift are on par with the best girls at the Mons or 2001. Some of them are former Mons or 2001 dancers who've decided to work at Bare Assets for whatever reason.
