Illinois

I like this section of the site. I like that this is a place you can come to get a one stop shop overview of different cities and locales.&nbsp; I&rsquo;d like to add to that with my take on the Chicago strip club market.&nbsp; Chicago has gotten a bad rap about it&rsquo;s strip clubs or lack thereof over the last decade or so.&nbsp; And while some of that criticism is well placed there are ways to enjoy yourself in Chicago. But it takes a loose definition of Chicago to do that.&nbsp; In this instance I&rsquo;m going to include all of Chicagoland, as well as Northern Indiana.&nbsp; While Chicago proper is known as a no touch/air dance kind of city your mileage can definitely increase as you go North, South and West of the city limits.<br />
<br />
The first stop in any tour of Chicago should be Industrial Strip in Hammond, In.&nbsp; I know it seems strange to leave the state the moment you&rsquo;ve arrived but IS (as it&rsquo;s known) is the most consistently enjoyable club in the Chicago area.&nbsp; The club itself is nondescript from the outside.&nbsp; Inside there are several stages and one small bar (no alcohol though).&nbsp; Dances are held in the back in curtained rooms. There is a VIP room available but from my experience it wouldn&rsquo;t be worth any extra upcharge.&nbsp; Dancers are generally cute.&nbsp; Of course there&rsquo;s a wide variety of ladies available.&nbsp; I&rsquo;ve always been able to find one that suits my tastes (tall, thin, brunette).&nbsp; Dances are full contact and can get completely nude.&nbsp; The club is not know as a place to get extras but the lapdances should be enough for any red blooded American male.<br />
<br />
In order of quality the next stop should be Polekatz on the southwest side of Chicago in a suburb called Bridgeview.&nbsp; Polekatz may well be the most elegant high end club on my list.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s recently be redesigned and improved.&nbsp; While it has the feel of a classy gentlemen&rsquo;s club I&rsquo;ve found that the mileage is more akin to a more raunchy club. You can get lucky here with the right girl (and by lucky I mean full grind, mutual hands on grope).&nbsp; People complain about the price of admission, drinks and valet but I for one don&rsquo;t think any of the charges are out of line<br />
<br />
Third stop is All Stars Gentlemen&rsquo;s Club in Northlake.&nbsp; This place is a dump on the outside. It literally looks like it may fall over.&nbsp; But inside it&rsquo;s nicely appointed and decorated. There&rsquo;s one stage and one bar.&nbsp; There are very small lapdance rooms to the left of the club.&nbsp; These dances are pricier than either IS or Polekatz but there are discounts during happy hour.&nbsp; I&rsquo;m not sure if there is an additional VIP room at All Stars.&nbsp; Dances here range from air to full grind.&nbsp; Quality of girls can be an issue.&nbsp; Still it&rsquo;s a nice place with potential mileage upside.<br />
<br />
If you really must stay in the Chicago limits than the Admiral Theater is your best bet.&nbsp; This is more of a gown club known for the number and quality of dancers.&nbsp; But dances are routinely only air.&nbsp; Still there&rsquo;s always the hope that you can find the right dancer and spend the right amount of money and maybe get a good dance.&nbsp; This club is pricier than the others on the list and is probably just a s far a drive from Downtown (20-30 minutes). If you are a fan of old school strip clubs or flapper era architecture than this might be worth a look see.<br />
<br />
One other club in Chicago that I don&rsquo;t recommend is VIP&rsquo;s. This is located near the center of the city but is really lame. Lots of&nbsp; fake women, fake guys and fake drinks.&nbsp; I really can&rsquo;t think of anything redeeming to say about this joint.<br />
