good informative article.
i've been through the atlanta airport a few times but never spent any actual time in the city. that was years ago when i was stationed at fort gordon near agusta.
i liked georgia back then and even had it in the back of my mind about maybe moving there some day but it never happened and my priorities have changed since then.
Shadow - Agree with you on Follies. Just got back from there tonight (Saturday) and I just about never go at night, preferring daytime. But, I had a couple hours to kill, so thought what the hell? As it turned out, it wasn't too busy, I got a coveted corner highchair, and there were some cuties I'd not seen before. All in all, a nice evening of drinks, dances, and conversation. Never a bad time there, just experiences ranging from good to over-the-top great.
Very accurate report of the SC's in Atlanta. I find that often it is the dancer not the club that determines your mileage, esp in VIP. I have had an amazing time in Flashers, which is a little dumpy, and other times I do not stay long. Follies is the same way.
My favorites: Follies, Oasis, Flashers, Pin-Ups, Strokers
Cheetahs and Mardi Gras: I agree - great eye candy, but snobbish, hands off, air-dance only, lousy VIP. I never go to these clubs any more.
Black clubs: My favorites are Pin-Ups, Strokers, and Babes (hole-in-wall). The worst are the clubs around midtown area like Onyx. Totally 'ghetto' feel with music way too loud, 'making it rain' on the stage dancers, bored distracted dancers, and thugs. One thing about black dancers is that too often they just stand on stage of jiggle their ass cheeks. Not very entertaining.
Follies is indeed a fine club. The first time I was there with shadowcat last year was great. Things were less intense the last time I was there by myself, but I'll always make a stop at Follies while in the area.
I'm trying to arrange a little "layover" in Atlanta and want to hit a club. Based on reviews, I think Follies will be the place to go. Looking for some legit VIP action.
pretty much agree with shadowcat except on Oasis. while Follies is the best for guaranteed heavy grinding on laps, I have had pretty good results at Oasis. Follies VIP pretty much assures at least a finger in the kitty with a good chance of bj or hj. think Oasis has the upper hand in that the dancers are prettier and not so ethnic. VIP at Oasis has run the gamut from "don't touch that" to everything but FS.
Just left your city. I still think the clubs for the most part suck in Atlanta. However, you are correct on Follies. Full contact lap dances- and I had fun in the VIP. But the place was packed and it took me forever to find a seat when I arrived.
All in all- Atlanta is surprisingly bad as far as strip clubs go- IMO (with the exception of Follies).
jhndillion - Outside of Atlanta, where in the U.S. besides some Florida locations (Inner Room, Diamond Dolls, Mons Venus, etc), Indianapolis/Kokomo (Brad's Brass Flamingo, Hip Huggers), Detroit (Bogart's, Fight Club, Penthouse), Upland (Tropical Lei), Laurence Harbor (Go Go Rama), and Houston (St. James) are you going to find the kind of consistently high mileage (especially for $10/LD) as you will at Follies? It seems to me it, and maybe a couple others in Atlanta, occupy a rather rarefied status among SCs, making Atlanta a worthy stop on anyone's mongering tour.
And even clubs like Pink Pony and Cheetah feature full leg-spreading nudity from model-like stunners, AND serve alcohol - a rare combo in my experience (at least in the U.S.). I may be a tad partial, perhaps, but having been around this big ol' country, I can say Atlanta still ranks IMHO as one of the best SC destinations.
Okay, I'll get off my parochial high-horse now. Back to the business of making money so I can visit said clubs... :)
Good comments and a good post. As a travelers, I can concur from that perspective as well, that I truly enjoy coming into Atlanta (especially if the girls name is Atlanta). Personally, no matter where I am, I miss Texas, which I just consider a high mileage state, no matter where you are, but I truly think Atlanta ranks right up there for great clubs and possibly even beats out the greater Miami area, in my opinion only of course.
Again, we all know Cheetah and as I always say, knowing ahead of time what you are getting into gives no one an excuse to not know it. My last time at Cheetah really showed me that with a group of guys, Cheetah is pretty good. Buy a bunch of table dances and for $$ split between the boys, you could have a fully nude woman dance on your table all night, lol, not bad at all!
But I really like Follies and Flashers, although Flashers really reeks and is a little small, I still like hommie feel, it has never been packed when I was there and have had some fun.
I look forward to returning in September and will maybe try Oasis, although I still have my free admission to Gold Rush and might go by for that t-bone special.
All I will say is that I became an instant fan of Atlanta on my last trip. You guy REALLY do not know how good you have it. Cheap booze, attractive women getting fully nude in good lighting, cheap VIPs (compared to many other areas), etc.
I wish I had more time when I was down there - I would have done a more fullsome job of my club visits. ;)

Thanks Shadowcat, I'll be in the Atlanta are later this year and this article will be my Bible while I'm there, lol!
If something could ever be done about the ridiculous humidity in the American south this article would entice me to make a visit to Hotlanta.

hoping to visit some clubs in ATL next month. how far is Follies from the Airport?
Via I-85 N
29 mins / 21.78 miles.

Rod: I doubt that he visited very many clubs here. I only see one review for ATL clubs.

Great post, sc. Two comments:
"DJs - all clubs have them ..."
That's hardly a selling point. ;-) I've yet to encounter a SC DJ that wasn't a waste of perfectly good carbon.
"Valet parking - a few clubs have them but it appears that only Cheetah has mandatory valet."
Main Stage / Coronet Club has mandatory valet parking on Thur-Sat nights (the night that CC is open)
That should be "nights that CC is open"
All I will say is that I became an instant fan of Atlanta on my last trip. You guy REALLY do not know how good you have it. Cheap booze, attractive women getting fully nude in good lighting, cheap VIPs (compared to many other areas), etc.

Fella’s thank you for providing insight into the ATL SC scene! Always wanted to visit ATL, never had a reason to. Just so happens now I do!
My only question… Is follies still the spot? Is this list still pretty legit? I know its a 12 year old list but still food info.
Thanks in advance
