the ultimate strip club list

a guy's guide to strip clubs

July 9, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 190

Went back to House of Babes on a Monday night. On my previous visit, I thought I hadn't figured the place out. Turns out, there is not much to figure out. A blue collar bar with a few girls in bikinis, rating 5 to 7. Music is from a jukebox. The girls dance 2 songs on stage and gather tips. They will join you at the bar and hustle for drinks. Standard small girlie drink is $20, and the girl gets 60% of that. I asked one of the girls how else they made money, and she basically replied "This is it." SO this is one of the mildest strip clubs I have been in for a great while. It gets a 5, because it's an ok bar, there is no cover, the girls are pleasant to look at, and low pressure.

I agree with the previous reviewer. The club is pretty standard but is easy to get too and like a lot of clubs there a few pretty girls but a lot of average ones. I did not stay long but hey. I have been to worse clubs. I did have good conversation with one dancer but cannot remember her name but other then that a pretty inforgettable time at this club for me.

Rest of columbus look out as I am here all week and will be checking other clubs.

Previous reviews are pretty much on target, except for the generosity in the ratings. This is a blue collar bar with a few pretty girls, but not a very interesting strip club. Their probably struggling like other clubs now with the new law in Ohio. On a Monday night around 8PM there were three girls I rate 6 or 7, and about a dozen guys spaced out around a large bar. The girls danced a couple songs each on stage, and music was selected by the girls from a juke box (and was ok). My mixed drink, at $7, was generous. I bought one of the girls a drink for $20, and she spent a few minutes talking with me about her artistic spirit, then she got called up to the stage, took her drink with her...and I decided that was probably it. Two local boys were plastered and hooting a lot, and one business guy in a suit was sweet talking the day shift barmaid. An few older regulars dragged themselves in for what looked like an extended evening of drinking. After about an hour of watching this scene, I left.

The last time I went to this club it was known as Juanitas and wow has it changed since then! I enjoyed the club a lot as it was and it still has that neighborhood, blue collar bar feel, but the club has been updated. A new, huge bar has been built into the center of the room, VIP booths have been added, a DJ is on shift, and a nice new pole. Also, many more girls working; anywhere from 2 - 7 I'd say.

A fun place to come and order a reasonably priced drink. Dancers work on a drink commision so you can get some good conversation. We didn't get any private dances while we were there--no one striked out fancy enough--but the girls were all pleasant and low pressure.

Fun to hang out at but not quite the same caliber of entertainer you'll find up north.
