Atlanta suburb

<p>
I have lived in an Atlanta surburb since 1987. I thought it was time for some one to write an article on the strip club scene here. So here it is.<br />
<br />
Atlanta is not as hot as Detroit or Miami but it is a lot better than Ohio and Virgina and a lot of other places.<br />
<br />
Prior to the &#39;96 Olympics, Atlanta was a lot more open but the city fathers thought that we needed to impress the visitors. So they went on a massive clean up of adult businesses. Clubs were raided and closed and street walkers were removed.<br />
<br />
The city is now making a slow come back. TUSCL lists 43 clubs in the metro area. They include 21 mixed clubs, 16 black clubs , 2 lingerie, 2 male, and 2 swing. I am not going to discuss the last 3 categories. I have no idea what goes on in them and have no interest.<br />
Basically Atlanta offers full nudity with alcohol and smoking at reasonable prices. I will discuss these items and more as follows.<br />
<br />
Nudity - All except 3 clubs offer total nudity. Club Wax, The Crazy Horse Saloon and Pink Pony South. The latter two are in the city of Forest Park and a new ordinance there does not permit alcohol and total nudity. Unles the law gets changed these clubs will probably fail.<br />
<br />
Alcohol - Only one juice bar in the whole area. Boomers. It&#39;s close proximity to Dobbins AFB may have something to do with that.<br />
<br />
Smoking - legal in all clubs. There are signs posted to advise customers that smoke is present.<br />
<br />
Pool tables - 13 clubs have them<br />
<br />
DJs - all clubs have them although juke boxes may be used at slow times.<br />
<br />
Food - 25 clubs offer some kind of food service. Either menu or buffet.<br />
<br />
Valet parking - a few clubs have them but it appears that only Cheetah has mandatory valet. However most clubs due charge to park during the evening hours .<br />
<br />
Hours of operation - Most mixed clubs open early aftenoon to very late night. About half of the black clubs do not open until after 6PM. Only 5 clubs open on Sundays. What&#39;s a guy supposed to do after church?<br />
<br />
Entrance fees - Most are free during the day time. Night time prices are generally $5-10. A couple of ripoff joints charging more.<br />
<br />
Stage dancing - Varies widely from club to club. Total nudity is the rule but some dancers do not get totally nude until they have received enough tips. A dollar tip is the norm but at black clubs expect to see it rain.<br />
<br />
Feature acts - If that is your bag, go to Pink Pony or the Goldrush Showbar.<br />
<br />
Private dances - There are two types of dances going on in Atlanta. Table dances and VIP room dances.<br />
<br />
Table dances - These are done along side your table. The cost is usually $10 but at the 3 Bikini bars and 6 black clubs you can get them for $5. Atlanta has been know as the home of the &quot;air dance&quot; but things are changing. It varies from club to club and dancer to dancer. I have experienced everthing from total air to cock sucking. Usually you can expect to get a little bit of one way contact.<br />
<br />
VIP rooms - All but 6 clubs report haveing VIP rooms. The cost for these trips varies from club to club and dancers set their own prices. Expect to pay $35-50 to the house for a 30 minute session. Hourly rates also available. Dancers usually charge $100-200. Mileage can vary from good two way contact to full service. At some clubs the bouncers are very intrusive and you can&#39;t get away with too much shit but at others, they leave you alone.<br />
<br />
Take out - I have not done too much reaearch on this because it is not really my bag but I have been offered it at two clubs.<br />
<br />
I have visited 17 of the clubs listed on TUSCL including 4 black clubs. 3 of the clubs are in the top 100. Those 3 are:<br />
<br />
Cheetah - No arguement that this club has the best looking dancers in Atlanta. It has been in the TUSCL dancer quality top 10 forever. It also has a fine dining restaurant. &quot;Alluvia&quot; But it ends there. I made one visit and that was enough. Table dances are nothing but air and stage nudity depends solely on tips. Not much is said about VIP room prices and mileage. I assume that is because they are high and low mileage. This is where you take your out of town clients to keep them out of trouble. I found the club snobish.<br />
<br />
Follies - My personal pick as the best club in Atlanta. The only draw back is that the club is small and is attracting large crowds. The reason for the draw is the high mileage table dances. You can get away with more shit here than any other Atlanta club that I have visited. And VIP does not disappoint. $42/house for 30 minutes and $100/dancer. I have heard of some dancers charging up to $150 but still worth it. The quality of the dancers varies from 5-9. Mostly 6-7&#39;s. Good mix of white, black &amp; latina. A few asians.<br />
<br />
Oasis Good Time Emporium(OGE) - Don&#39;t know why this club makes it into the top 100. It along with Mardi Grad, Pink Pony and Goldrush are also rans. Ok but nothing to write home about.<br />
<br />
Black clubs - Yeah, I am white. But I am an equal opportunity employer. Of the 4 that I have been to, I rate Club Blaze the best for dancer quality, price and mileage. It along with other black clubs can get quite thugish during late night. Avoid Shooters Alley. A lot of bad PR for this club, including a shooting not too long ago. Pin Ups sounds like a good club and is on my list of things to do.<br />
<br />
South side clubs - Near the airport. Not too many to choose from. Best bet is the Goldrush Showbar which is my second favorite Atlanta club.<br />
<br />
My thanks to snowtime, TimboAtl and a few other Atlanta TUSCL vetrans for helping me put this together</p>
