the ultimate strip club list

a guy's guide to strip clubs

Okay, I made it to Venus. Description is accurate; long stage in back with divided open booths on opposite wall. It was 8 PM at night, and there were 4 girls (rating about 3 through 7). There's one booth designated where you can get a lap dance, but even the dancers will tell you its not worth it.

They want you to buy a drink for their company, and the drinks run $18 to $70. Unless you are bored crazy with money to burn (but somehow can't afford a taxi outside of the cincinnati/newport area), there's no reason to come here.



This place was absolutely terrible. The girls were not very attractive, and even if they were, you can literally see more skin from most girls at a regular (non-gentlemen's club) nightclub. I ordered a $2 coke and didn't stick around long enough to finish it. Even calling it a strip club would be an injustice to actual strip clubs.

I have given this a good review before, but last time in the club I bought a pricy drink to spend time with a lady & it was gone in less than 5 minutes! I felt screwed without being kissed. Other than that, the girls are hot & they have really cleaned up the place, but I'd only suggest going to watch the girls on stage. Anything else is a waste of money!

Arrived at 8:00PM, Saturday, August 19, 2006. Like previous reviewers, Covington has no "topless" strip clubs at all and recent ordinances prohibit any fun here at all. No cover was assessed, and rightly so. I ordered a $2 coke at the bar.

The club has a room located further back from the bar, which has a small stage and divided open booths against the wall. I noticed about 5 other customers and 5 dancers, ranging from 6 to 7 in appearance. Was approached by 2 seperate dancers at different times for a $1 donation to the jukebox. Bartender, like in most Kentucky clubs, asked if I wanted to buy a dancer a drink, ranging from $10 to $58 and up. I didn't see any area where I could have much fun or privacy from a dancer for those prices and declined.

I departed the downtown club at 8:20PM, spending $5 ($2 for coke; $1 for bartender tip; & $2 to the jukebox fund). I rated this club at a 3 at most, as the downtown clubs are the pits and definately won't return to Covington, KY at all.
