the ultimate strip club list

a guy's guide to strip clubs

This place is in downtown Winston-Salem at the end of a row of shops. On the other side of the alley to the left of the club is a parking garage that is only $2 flat rate after 6 pm. $10 cover to get in, and the place is basically a hole in the wall. A handful of tables scattered around an open area with one stage against the right wall. The DJ booth is up a small set of steps the right of the stage, and two three couches are back around in a little alcove in front of and inside a nook to the right of the booth. The DJ is up high enough where you don't really see him from the two couches in the nook. Those are where the lap dances take place, but more on that later. The juice bar is against the back wall (or the left wall if facing the stage). Has stools around in, and there are also stools along the wall opposite the stage for additional seats. The stage is no larger than a runway, but is against the wall on one side and backed by mirrors. There's a tip rail but it wasn't really being used. The girl up front was a little on the heavy side and didn't do it for me, but seemed pretty popular with the crowd so we'll assume she's fun. There was a small bachelor party going on when I walked in, so several girls were occupied with that.

Didn't even bother to get a drink after making a stop in back. This was going to be a quick visit. There were some other girls around, all chatting it up and not looking like they were moving anytime soon. Was about to get up and go when a slim dancer stepped in front and straddled me. Was then nose to nose with a pleasant looking and petite blonde sporting a short cut and tight body, but not exactly the type I would seek out. Think her name started with an "A". Add in a little bit of friendly chit chat and it was time to check out the couch dances. Didn't look like she'd be much to write about, but she put on one hell of a dance. Here's what you need to know. $20 (probably negotiable), full nude, and lots of fun. I was actually wearing jeans for several of these club stops, and at one point found myself thinking that's gotta hurt. Tiny club but big time, hands on dances. Skimmed the other reviews so apparently YMMV. If I didn't have a whole list of clubs to get to I might have stayed quite a bit longer with her. Some of the girls spotted as I was getting ready to go were upping the curve, and this place wouldn't be a bad addition to your Winston-Salem trip list.

went to visit a friend in the area. saw this place while walking around town we decided to take a look. It was pretty early, so not many dancers on. the $15 cover hurt, but obviously went in anyway. talent was ok, some good, some bad, about average. Value for the buck appeared to be there, at least for the regulars. knock on this place was that (admittedly we got there early), once the first LD was turned down (we had lots of $ to spend, just wanted a couple beers first), zero attention from the entertainers. Looks like a decent place if you are local and know how it works, but being new to the place it was a little dsiappointing.

I finally visited Harper's in downtown Winston as they call it in NC. I suppose Salem is in Massache(whatever) or Oregon.... Cover is $15, but nil between opening and 8:30 (20:30 hrs). There were two ladies working when I entered for free, and laps were immediately available even the though the stage dancing had not started. I passed on the $10 table dance offer, but took a trip to the VIP ($5 entry fee, $20/dance). The laps are fully nude, as are stage dances. The VIP is semi-private/shielded from the main room, but offers no privacy for simultaneous occupancy. I give the club a pretty high value rating, primarily because it is quite inexpensive and fully nude. But the touching restrictions definitely diminish the delightfulness, and drag down and devalue the diversion.

I stayed through a full stage set from the four dancers (two more showed up around 8:45), Pandora, Aurora, Mary Jane (she was smokin', tee hee), and Kelly. One was tall and leggy, but past her prime (if she was ever prime...); one was a true blond, somewhat hefty but with a fine, natural bust (or pair, or boobs, or rack, whatever crudity you prefer); one was brunet with a tight body; and one was brunet, tan, and anorexic.

I never say I'll never go back, but at my age I'm a day shift kinda guy, it's a longish drive, and it wasn't all that great an experience; but it is fully nude so I had to check it out.

Maybe not a top of the line club but this one is one of my favorites. Had another great evening here, hot little chicks, close up views and BYOB, so it is cheap. I spent about 40 minutes giving one dancer an all over massage, everything except the goods, but it was so hot and nice.

Not open early in the week, BYOB, Park next door in the secure city garage for just a couple of bucks. The guard might be gone by the time you leave so you may park for free . This place is far from upscale, but the girls are nice and will talk with you, no hassles, and really inexpensive. Check out the VIP, also reasonable.
