the ultimate strip club list

a guy's guide to strip clubs

Dropped by here when it was getting late on a Friday night. Parking lot is a little on the small side, but there are a lot of businesses around and you can get creative with car placement.

The club is a pretty decent size on the inside (mid-range), in a "U" shape around the main stage area. Lots of customers and a fair number of girls mingling. The main stage is facing the entrance and only about 10-15 ft away when you walk in from outside. This place doesn't have a lobby per se but has a counter where you pay the cover charge and order your first drink if you're having one. Door girl that night pretty good looking but chatting it up with two people so I didn't catch more than her name (which I promptly forgot since the liquor from clubs past was starting to make its presence felt). The club looks bigger on the inside than it really is because the ceilings are fairly high, high enough to have a second level to the main stage accessible via a spiral staircase in the middle of the stage to left of the middle dancer pole. Didn't actually see a girl walk it (like they do at Scores or GGC in Baltimore) but it looked usable. Each of the three poles on the main stage had a little bump out, and there were two girls up for each song. One hung around the right side of the stage and the other alternated between left and center. The stage was shaped like a big "L" if I recall and wrapped around the right (but I could be wrong). Didn't venture over to the left side of the club (because I hadn't planned to stay long) but there were a number of round tables with chairs and also pool tables near the rear left. The bar is along the right wall and runs the length of it, and past the bar in the right corner is the entrance to the VIP/couch dance area. Do not believe there is a higher VIP option available, because I asked Champagne (more on her later) while she was grinding her way into my lap. On second thought, think I heard from one of the girls there is but it wasn't worth it (or something such).

Didn't walk out of the club after a minute or two because just about the finest, all natural girl in any club in that entire state was standing in the middle of their stage. The blonde with the short bob and comic book body (whose name I can't recall) at Teaser's in Durham was a close second, but the leggy brunette here was tops. That would be Champagne. Italian, Puerto Rican, and German. Mouthy and pushy as hell but I suppose you can be when you look like that. Almost sounds eastern european when she speaks, but that might've been my imagination since that's what I thought she was when I laid eyes on her. She's also 18 and the more she talks the more it shows, but...back to the fantasy. She was the only dancer I saw in this club who actually looked comfortable and capable up on stage, and I kid you not this girl has a perfect ass. Perfectly round a tight yet she's able to shake the thing like it has a motor inside. We chalked it up to one third of her heritage. Beautiful face. Stripper perfection. Ok, now for reality. She finishes her set and walks off stage left and sits down to count her cash. Didn't motion over to let me know if she was doing any dances or not. So I stand for a second checking the watch. Oh yeah, this was after she walked off without getting the rest of her stage tip. I remember now. One of the bouncers up front (we'll call him the cool bouncer) actually tried to get her attention before I motioned over and said it was cool. He was the guy with the short dark hair. There's another one (we'll call him the not cool bouncer) with longer hair who looks a little scruffier and is the one who wands people down when they walk in.

Before I forget. Champagne gives one hell of a dance in the couch room. Check her out. She'd only been at the club a few days and used to dance in Miami. Wasn't sure what the rules were because she wasn't really put off by anything going on and was moving my hands around for a local tour. Then reality really struck. Scruffy walks in when he notices my hands planted squarely and firmly on her ass (while she's swung around doing a wheelbarrow) and leans in and says, "hey boss, girls can touch you but you can't touch the girls". Alright fine, not that he was total dick about it but what am I supposed to do when a woman this fine is moving all over the place and doesn't seemed too concerned with where my hands are? Yeah, I was in no mood to get bounced so I called it quits after three songs and tipped her the full bill. Songs are $30 topless in the VIP. Table dances might be $10. Wasn't interested in those at the time. Bought her friend a drink at the bar that went elsewhere shortly thereafter. That's when I found out how old she was and started thinking better of my plans for the rest of the evening. Talked about maybe getting together OTC, but after another 30 seconds I was walking out the door. Liked the girl better than I liked the club, but the place wasn't bad either. Other gals around were solid lookers, several came around to say hi and I'd rate this place with the best looking women out of all the clubs I saw on Bragg Blvd that night. I'm pretty sure if I lived around there me and scruffy could work something out, but since I was just passing through I decided to quit while I was ahead. Recommend for that Fayetteville, but Mickey's will get you more value for your $$. Other spots heading South down Bragg might get you better mileage also, but this is the club I think I would hit first.

Went to Pure Titanium on a Friday night between 11pm-12am and I was shocked to see, besides myself and my wife, there was only about 6 other people seated. The drink are cheap and not watered down which is always great. The staff is very friendly upon arrival. The waitress even with the limited people there was not very moble. She basically sat with her friends and co-workers not taking any orders. The stage is in a circle O, but is blocked by a dj booth or something but you cant see the dancers once they go to the other side you dont see them, think of it as the sun, you will get light for a while then it turns to night and you are stuck looking at the four walls and the other guys that cant see the performance. Ending up leaving after 2 drinks.

The club was DEAD, DEAD, DEAD... and the ladies were RUDE, RUDE, RUDE. That's really all that needs to be said, but I will elaborate.

The club is actually nicer on the inside than one would expect in this town... a few stages, and flashy bar... nice tables... TVs showing pictures of the club talent. But I noticed during my travels there that this place (located off the main drag of the city--Bragg Blvd) never seemed to draw a crowd... never seemed to even fill the parking lot.

I was there approximately 30 minutes. One girl sat down with me and lamented on how bad the business was and when I asked for a dance, she stated that I wouldn't be happy with it because there would be absolutely no contact between her and me. I thanked her for that bit of honesty and paid her for the dance any way. Even that couldn't cheer her up. Now that is not rude. What was rude was during this time, I could hear a commotion from the stage. When I looked up I saw the dancer yelling from the stage (without fear of retribution/discipline) to two young guys seated at a neighboring table (whom I assume were GIs) "This isn't a free f***ing show; tip you cheap MFs!" Later, I noticed one of the GIs offering her a dollar as she walked passed their table to which she replied, "Keep it; you obviously need it more than I do!" She did not offer me a dance, but glared as she passed my table.

The entire time I was there, there were maybe 10 customers... and actually I believed some of them to be boyfriends of the dancers. It was just a strange vibe in the whole place. I asked one girl whether the place ever really got busy. She stated that it never really did. I tipped her the dance fee, but declined a dance. Again, she was not cheered up from this club-wide depression by my gesture. I got out of there before I needed to start taking anti-depressants myself.

The girls were average, the customers were non-existent, and the vibe will ensure that I won't return.

Went to Mickey's first (where we were disappointed), and then we stopped at this club. Big difference from Mickey's-a high energy club where most of the girls looked like they just turned 18. Talent was better but no 10's- a couple of 6's and one 7 but only one heifer!
only reasons for the low ratings were a) it was hotter than hell in the club and b) the lappers were low/no mileage at $20 a dance.
