the ultimate strip club list

July 19, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 200

After a long hiatus I returned to Sensations. After the passing of the owner its atmosphere is more relaxed. There's been a few renovations since my last visit which make it a more pleasant experience. The girls are topless, but wear pasties. No touching of the nipples or privates is allowed, and the city ordinances regarding prostitution are clearly posted in the couch dance rooms. I took Sage, perhaps the top girl there, for a couch dance first. I've heard she's a high mileage girl, but except for some very hard and well-experienced grinding nothing more was to be had. Later I took an adorable 19 year-old named Dutchess. She didn't grind nearly as hard, but hopefully experience will change this. There were a number of attractive girls, whose names I can't remember, that I'd put in the 7-8 range. However, there was one dancer, whose name escapes me, who had no business being on stage whatsoever. She turned my stomach.

Stopped by early on a Friday night (~8:30) after going bust at the poker tables in AC. Kept a couple of bills in reserve for a stop here on the way back home, but wished I'd gambled it instead. The place was empty, the dancers were indifferent and I didn't stick around longer than 20 minutes. One other note -- I didn't experiece the owner issues that thisisnt saw in April. New management, maybe? Either way, wish I'd checked here on tuscl first.

This club has had it ups and downs. As "Woods East" it was one of the most decadent clubs in South Jersey, but those days are long gone. An overbearing owner took over and, over the years, this club has really declined. With his passing hopefully it will return to its glory days. Overall, the girls are much like the type you'll find in any club, perhaps a bit friendlier. The club is nothing to look at, and is west of Mays Landing on Route 40. It has ample parking and, expect for the weekends, is usually dead.

To begin with, this is undoubtedly one of the WORST go-go bars in Atlantic County, if not all of South Jersey. Management treats dancers and customers similarly: like trash. Dancers in this seldom-frequented bar are FORBIDDEN from conversing with their regular customers unless that customer buys a couch dance. They can't even sit with any customers. "If you want to talk to him make him buy a couch dance," the girls are admonished. Of the approximately dozen go-go bars I've visited, with the possible exception of Fantasy Showbar, no other bar exerts such high pressure on their cliente'. Once you decide on a favorite dancer management will all but forbid other dancers from talking to you. Reason being that you're not likely to purchase a couch dance with that girl, hence the house will make no money (let alone the girl you're trying to tip). Quite literally the owner will call the dancer you're speaking to over to the dj booth and berate her for wasting her/his time. "You know he's not going to buy a couch dance with you. _____ is his favorite, so move on!" Furthermore, the cover charge varies with the color of your skin, the mood management is in, and the prospects of your buying a couch dance. As for the dancers they're not to blame. About 6-8 girls work here (most are below average). You'll find no models here; most girls are overweight and unattractive. But give management their props; no other self-respecting bar would hire most of these girls. The most popular is a slender, pretty brunette named Sage. She has a nice little set of titties, and is said to "go the extra mile" in the couch dance room. Although dances are monitored by closed-circuit cameras, depending on your relationship with management, some go further than others. Like any other bar you'll need to flash some cash. If you want model material than go to all-nude Bare Exposure. Babes, also in Atlantic City, appears to be a popular club. Volcanic Eruptions used to be a great place, but has fallen off recently. I understand the day shift couch dances offer more "contact."
