the ultimate strip club list

a guy's guide to strip clubs

July 9, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 190

I would've given this hole a -10 but 1 is the lowest allowed, so I'll suffice with that.

Could be that this place was originally a hot strip club, but good ole Guiliani tried to shut this place down years ago, so they changed from a strip club to a ... whatever.

You walk into this dark, dank, small shack on a corner right near a Mormon (ore is it a JW/SDA?) Church (that's probably the most erotic thing about this hole, just the thought of it, to sin right near a church...). If the "music" doesn't drive you out (latin salsa from loudspeakers that where probably ripped from a boombox in '82), the sight of the "dancers" (2 old latinas shaking up and down the stage) probably will.

The one upside is there are no lapdances, so you can "enjoy" your beer ($1 from one bartender $6 from another)in some peace. I tipped the dancer a buck, she just extended her hand and took it.

The only reason to visit this hole is if you are on your way to LGA and you need to piss, the bathrooms aren't that terrible.

The sign outside reads: LIVE GIRL SHOWS. I was driving by around 1pm on a Wednesday and had about an hour to kill before my flight out of LGA. I parked along the residential street behind the club. Walked around and entered the front door. This is a dimly lit bar in a 70's decor. The bar itself runs in sort of a U shape. Standard bar stools surround the tavern area. A stage elevated about 1-2ft is elevated in the middle of the bar. When I was visiting the local beer distributor was making a delivery and was hauling cases of beer between the stage and the bar. A juke box plays music when the patrons pay for it, or the girls select their own tunes. Each of the three dancers did a 3-song set. One girl danced in go-go boots and a halter top, one in lingerie, and the last in a bikini. The bikini dancer briefly showed her nipples and played with herself while dancing behind the bar--the other two just rubbed themselves but never showed any breasts. I had a few beers (at about $6 each) and then proceeded to the airport. Of the three dancers one was a young cute brunette and the other two were a little older then I would prefer (30+). I have no idea how this club fares at night, but it should be noted it is in what appears to be a rough neighborhood. I can't honestly say I would stop in again. A local city permit on the wall indicates this club has been in business since 10+ years.
