the ultimate strip club list

a guy's guide to strip clubs

Wanted to visit this place for a long time, but being a west sider, I am rarely in the area with any free time.

Stopped in on a Friday afternoon around 3. I found about 15 patrons and at least as many dancers. The first thing I noticed about the place is that even for a strip club, it is amazingly dark. Even after my eyes adjusted, it was hard to determine the quality of the dancers from any distance.

This place is a huge rectangle with a complete bar at the entrance end of the building (seats about 10). The stage is in the middle, running the length of the remainder of the building. There are about 20 seats courtside with a second row (with tables) immediately behind it. The third row is elevated so that it is even with the dance stage and the seats go all the way around the room. When things are slow at the rail, the dancers will wander back to the seats immediately around the entrance to the stage and give mini lap dances to the guys there.

Service from the waitress is pretty good and there isn't much pressure to buy drinks for the girls. I had a Coors Light for $4.25 which is about what the other clubs in Cleveland charge.

I took a seat in the second row so that I could see the dancers on stage and tipped a few at the rail. I had heard that several of the dancers who used to work at the Brookpark clubs were now here, but I never saw any of them.

Dances were done at your seat so the darkness really came in handy then. Unfortunately, it appeared that the mileage was pretty much one way.

I was about to leave when a pretty blonde sat next to me and started chatting me up. Turns out that she used to work at one of my favorite clubs but I didn't know her because she was a day shift girl. I got two dances from her and they were okay -- nowhere near the mileage of the Brookpark Clubs -- and although she permitted a little touching, it wasn't anything great.

I will stick to the clubs on the west side.


Stopped at the Exec den late afternoon midweek. This is a small neighborhood type place as mentioned earlier - if you want a bigger more elaborate setting go to Christies near downtown Cleveland.
No cover charge beer around $3 - there were seven dancers - about typical for this club in the afternoon. No 10s but nothing below a 7 either. There is just one stage and after a dance the girls just hang out at the bar or ask for a dance. There is no "wanna dance" parade - some girls will stop and ask but you won't feel hounded for a dance ($10) here. Need to be careful of your hands - be discreet and you can have some fun. Had a few dances from a cute Asian girl - flashed a little kitty and did some light stick shifting. There is no privacy in the dance area though so any greater mileage is pretty unlikely.

The hottest girl there was the bar tender - knockout set and beautiful eyes - the whole package. Have fun - don't expect much but a good time but this is not a bad place if you have a couple of hours to burn.

I stopped by on a recent weekday. There were very few girls working - maybe 5? If you went in looking for a lapdance (I didn't), you might have to wait a while before they got to you. They were generally attractive, but no knockouts.

A word of caution though: despite the name, this isn't really a "gentleman's club". It feels more like a local biker bar than an "executive" hangout. That's not a problem for me, but just be sure that's what you're looking for.

Stopped on a Friday afternoon. Five dancers - a cute in the 7 to 9 range. Decent contact in lap dances on chairs behind the stage. The girls are nice - this is a layback low pressure bar so enjoy. No chance for extras here but did feel get more than I expected for a $10 lap dance, especially as I'm not a regular there.
