the ultimate strip club list

a guy's guide to strip clubs

I brought a client to this joint. My client is from Dallas, so can you tell where I'm going with this? First off, it was a very cold night, and my client was wearing a sweater. The large almost human-like bouncer made him TAKE OFF his sweater and check it, leaving him in a T-shirt. Nothing like being pissed when you are trying to have a good time. The girls were very pretty, but you get closer with more contact from the gorillas at the Lincoln Park Zoo. The VIP room was basically and ATM for the management. Make it easy --just hand the owner a wad of cash, and go sit and have a coke by yourself.

Next time I'll meet him in Dallas . . .

This place is not going to last very long unless they can fix a lot of problems quickly. I am a strip club pro, having reviewed clubs all over Chicago and nationwide on this site. This is a poor club, even by Chicago standards (a Chicago location limits any club's upside). First of all, the $30 cover (even for women) is absurd. Second, even more absurd is that they try to sell you that this is a "bargain" place because it is BYOB. What they don't put in the ads is you will be charged $8 for a cranberry juice to mix with your vodka. So rather than getting a drink for $8 with the booze, you still get charged $8 and have to supply the booze yourself. Awful. Third, even on a Saturday night, very few girls. And none above a 6.5. Lots of older, not hot dancers. Many of them were really good with the pole but otherwise were not enticing. Fourth, WAY too many thick-necked creepy mafia wanna bes escorting you to your tables (and women in attendance to the ladies' room). Fifth, no dance scene that I could see. Ladies seem content to dance on stage and get paltry tips. Very few approaches by dancers to patrons. Couldn't even see if VIP area looked any good b/c no one was dancing there. All and all, a total disaster for the "hot new club" in Chicago. As bad as VIPs and the Admiral are on a nationwide basis, they are both far better than this craphole. Anything positive about it? Yes -- the chairs are pretty comfortable, the space is not too shabby, and it is located in a safe and very-close-to-downtown location. But that's about it. Save your money and go to another club, preferably one in NW Indiana where you get something for your money.

I went to this club on Friday night with about 4 of my buddies and when we walked in the place was pretty much empty. I only saw one girl on stage and didn't see any obvious dancers around. I actually really liked the inside of the club. I really liked the stage as well. My favorite girl there by far was Nellie! She was great. By far the prettiest and she was really outgoing and nice. I bought a couple dances from her and she was really great!

Song legnths are about 2 mins long and they are mostly air dances. Not good milage at all.

Most of the girls looked pretty good, but I think if they got a few more better dancers then they actually may not do so bad. You don't hear much about this club. If they got their name out there more maybe they would get some better girls in there.

Very nice atmosphere. Very nice layout. Expensive drinks (so what?). But beautiful, friendly dancers. The table dance from a tall, busty blonde was nice, with light contact. Overall was enjoyable.
