Anyone ever been kicked out of a SC?

  One of the local bikini/pastie bars here in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area is like that. They make you buy a drink, whether you want one or not. They probably make most of their money off of drinks (alcohol) and don't want to lose their profit margin. But go to the extreme of forcing customers to buy drinks is a little much and disrespectful to customers, which is one reason I don't go to that club. I never have gotten kicked out of a club, but I was in a group once where one of us got kicked out. Then again, that guy was a dick.

  I never have but my son has. About 3 years ago his company sent him from Atlanta to Los Angeles to fix some computers. After he finished the job, he had time to kill so he hit a strip club. Mr J's in Santa Ana CA. He got kicked out. He called me on his cell phone and said I should go on TUSCL and tell every body what a crappy place this was. I said, I couldn't write a review for a place I had never been to. 2 days later he was back in ATL and sober. He admitted that he had been drunk and obnoxious. Even fell asleep at the hotel bar. It's usually not easy to get kicked out of a club. They want your money.

  I hate that bitchy attitude of waitresses of "this is a BAR and if you are not drinking then you need to make room for someone who is" This line of bullshit is especially stupid when the strip club is not busy. One time I did get into an argument over the drink hustle with a waitress and she went to go get the bouncer. The bouncer came over and chatted me up like I was his buddy. We just chatted and talked, never pressured me into buying a drink, etc. Shook my hand and told me he hopes I have a good time tonight. Let the bouncer know you want a dance, not a drink, and I would be surprised if he still wanted you kicked out. I also once moved from sitting near the stage to sitting at the bar so I could avoid a bitchy waitress. Sorry to hear about your bad SC experience. I am surprised to hear this happened at a Hustler/corporate chain club because those usually stress customer service. I have always got good service when I visit Christie's (a strip club chain). The mileage is low but the customer service was nice.

  Only cell phone companies have less customer service than strip clubs.

  I was kicked out of The Clown's Den in Wyoming(actually just over the CO border) when I was in the Air Force a long time ago. 19 year old me decided it would be fun to jump onstage with the girls. Did it once, and the huge biker bouncer nicely asked me to get down. Did it the second time and the same bouncer put me over his shoulder and gently dropped me in the snow outside. No malice, no injury, just put me outside. I returned the following week, apologized, and all was cool.

  Write an honest review and refuse to go there anymore, that's all you can really do.

  Came close in Detroit. I was about to leave so I turned down waitress offer for a drink. Then decided on one last dance before going. I was stopped by the manager who said I had to have a drink before I could get a dance. I said I was about ready to go, but was willing to buy a dance. Manager said it didn't matter. I asked what the cheapest they had was. Got a bottled water for $6.50. Tipped the bartender .50. Bartender called me a "cheap bastard" (it was a slow night for them.) I felt like taking the .50 back. Bouncer said he was sorry they were treating me in such a manner. I told the bouncer I'd like to see the manager charge his mother $6.50 for a bottled water. Next visit, same crew. Only the general manager or owner was milling about this time. Walks over and hands me a free bottled water. And fyi: anytime the waitress or bartender thereafter started eyeing me I held out a $1 for them to come get as "protection money". Thereafter, no more problems.

  Most clubs I've been to lately haven't had that "Buy a drink or leave" attitude unless I am sitting at a table while they are busy. I am happy just to sit at the bar, and they may not be very happy with me, but of late, it hasn't been an issue. Way back in the 90's I did get kicked out of one club because I was a little over the top according to one dancer who was giving me a dance at a booth in a club. She got the bouncer, who escorted me out of the club. Oh well, I just stopped going there for a year, until the manager and the bouncer moved on. These days that club has a nice private VIP area and unless the dancer is uptight, everything is cool.

  I had a new waitress with a bitchy attitude noticing I had an empty beer bottle but didn't want a drink. After only 15 minutes or so she started coming around kept asking and then said, these tables are reserved for drinking customers, etc. etc. I was a regular drinker in that club and at that time one of the bigger drinkers. I was a bit ticked off at her. I usually drink a few beers in the first hour or two I'm at the club and then cut myself off to make sure I'm sober when I leave not drinking long before their last call. In the situation above instead of blowing up, I went and got a beer myself after she left and sat at a different table that she wasn't serving. Then I subsequently ordered beer from a different waitress. I was a regular there too so I never ordered any drinks from her as long as she worked there. She noticed too that she ticked me off. I made it her loss.

  I found a quiet spot at the back of the club one evening far away from everyone except for one bouncer over in the corner. I had tipped a few dancers unlike most of the other patrons in the club. The bouncer comes up to me and threatens me saying if it was up to him, he would have kicked me out. My great crime? Something about leaning over the edge of the stage. I thought about asking to see the manager about what I did wrong but was getting too mad and just left. Didn't ever visit that club again for a long time.

  Maybe a dancer told me to stand up and then pulled me towards her. That happened a few times. I thought they needed to cut that out before making threats to customers. Suffice it to say, if you don't feel welcome in a club or are worried about bouncers threatening you for minor reasons, there are other clubs to visit.

  at least that bouncer was being honest when he said "if he was in charge he would have you kicked out" A lot of the bouncers I know here in Columbus act as managers and will kick you out for doing minor stuff like that. I saw one guy get kicked out because he asked a dancer about OTC and she freaked out about being asked out like she was a hooker. The bouncer kicked him out.

  Sure, three four times. Generally it was a girl new to the club (and to stripping) who freaked out at me. And no, not because I was groping her. Once it was because I was smoking a pipe, and she told me not to, and I honestly didn't think she was being serious, since I'd smoked it in that club plenty of times before. But then she hustled off in a tiff to the bouncer and lied that I'd been propositioning her, so you can see what little say I had in the matter. Once or twice I got sloppy drunk and wasn't so much "kicked out" as "asked to get a cab and go home to sleep it off." Nice door men, preventing me from getting a DUI. With my habits, it's amazing I haven't gotten six or eight tickets for driving under the influence of alcohol, but, touch wood, I'm still 100% clean at least of that stigma.

  I too had an experience in a New Orleans club in 97. I went into that place in the French Quarter where the motorized leg is coming out of the window. It seems that the club tradition is to tip every single gal who appears onstage. The first gal I saw collected tips from most of the guys. I shot her a disapproving look, so she stayed away from me. The next gal, an over the hill, late 40's gal, with rolls of fat hanging over her girdle, tried to collect from me. When I told her no, she went and got a gorilla of a bouncer. He came at me and I gave him the kind of dangerous Clint Eastwood look to let him know that I wasn't going to be a cream puff. He pulled back and sized up the situation. She was egging him on. There was an awkward moment when everyone in the club watched. I finally said "I'm leaving" and I headed for the doorway. As I reached the door I heard her ask him "What about my tip?" and noticed him hold her back as I departed.

  Asked to leave permanently by an owner over a disagreement over liquor. Ban was ended eventually.

  Once, at Good Guys in DC. Went to the stage to tip a dancer, and when I got back to my table to find the waitress walking away with my mostly full drink. When I tried to take it back, she told the bouncer I was harassing her. I never went back.

  I have never been asked to leave ,even though I should have been thrown out on my head for some stupid things I have gotten away with.I was at Bogarts back in the late 90's this new teen hard body just started and was like her 5 th night dancing and her girlfriend that got her in took off to do a party for a couple hours .So i decide to show her the ropes,we go up and she starts to the left I say why not try the rightside chairs,.She said her girlfriend said not to anyway we end up over in the corner to the right no one else up there I convince her that fs is just $10 more per song she says wouldn't go that far but follow her lead and she would get me off.First song she pulls it out and bbbj ,second song she starts humping with her gstring on so i turn her away and start inseting a finger then two the three then I slip junior in just about 2 inches .She says easy no more fingers I said ok then I grab her waist and pull her back ,next thing i remember asking the bouncer to grab my coat so I could leave as it turned out she was a sqiurter

  Here is an example of how it should work. At my favorite club about 8 months ago. A buddy of mine that posts on here got busted during the act of putting on a condom. The bouncer took the dancer to the dressing room, had her clean out her locker and escorted her to the front door. They never said a word to him.

  Lol, I have been kicked a couple of times. But, in every instance it took the whole security detail to get us out. Of course this was when I was younger and dumber. Nowadays most club owners get worried and ask if anything was wrong if I leave to [view link] talks. I found if your known for spending money you can do just about anything you want, within [view link] this economy most club owners are afraid to burn a customer. Just look at Shadowcat's buddy for example. The lights wouldn't even be on in alot of these places if it wasn't for us spending OUR money. Just my opinion.

  No big deal getting kicked out or blacklisted from a club. Strip clubs are a dime a dozen in most cities and by the time you come back to said club, the management has probably changed.

  I hope you wrote a review on it sinclair, you should let other tuscl members know about the drink hustle here.

  I hate that too. Even if I don't buy a drink the money the club gets from me buying lap dances is a lot more than they will get from a drink. I don't blame the waitress or the bouncer though, they are just doing as they were told. It sucks to be the messenger.

  i never got kicked out of a club, but i was hustled, first they forced me to pay for parking when i didnt even park in their lot, then they tryed to drink hustle me to death, i only caved in onece and bought a sprite but even that was 7 bucks, for a cup of fucking sprite, and not one dancer aproached me, and i got the feeling that since i was the only black guy there, that i was not welcomed, but that didnt stop them from trying to take my money. so i just left and put up a review here and i will never return to that club.

  Yes, I got kicked out of "The Red Parrot" near El Paso, TX. It was bizarre. I had been to that club a few times over a couple of years, but never had any negative interaction from anyone. One day I went there after not having been for about a year. I walked in, sat down, and within about 30 seconds, the bouncer walked up to me and said I must leave. "May I know why?" "No. The manager said I was to tell you to leave." "May I ask him why?" "No. He just does this sometimes. Come back when he is not here." As I was about the only customer there, I suppose the manager just wanted some alone time. Truly bizarre.

  geez. how, that is a wild one. As I wrote above, I pissed off the dancer, so it didn't surprise me that I got kicked out. But, just walking in a place and being booted, I'd come back at a different time just to see if it happened again. LMAO

  Yes, shadowcat, I wrote a review to document the no-reason kick-out, but founder bagged it. I have read other reviews of that club, mostly positive. I had even had positive experiences there previously, and no bad experiences until the "you've gotta go" greeting.

  how- Did you get cover refunded, or otherwise comped?? I have not encountered anything closely resembling OP's scenario in over 12 years.(Eg- being hassled for drinks over time). Mandatory initial drink, yes. I recall Palomino (sp??) in Vegas, mid 90's had TWO DRINK minimum, got it initial entry. After finishing 1st drink, I had to use restroom. When I returned, waitress had taken my remaining drink. I don't recall if club had a half full drink at all times policy. I do recall losing interest at return visits to this club based on this BS aspect coupled with good experiences at other clubs.

  minnow, there was no cover at the time. The whole brief experience was just surreal...

  Founder will do that. If he catches it. I once had a review refused because founder/editor thought it was just a description of a personal experience. I rewrote it and it got accepted.

  I wonder if a drug deal was going down or something so they did not want you around? or a private party soon? Vanity in Columbus was once shut down and turned into a private party for UFC fighters, managers, etc. I heard it was funded by Wynn the billionaire from Las Vegas.

  I actually started a thread here about the time I was kicked out of one of my favorite places, the King Of Diamonds in Inver Grove Heights, Minn. Cunt waitress kept pestering me for a drink even though I wasn't done with mine, I blurted out something that she probably thought was a swear word, and then this prick bouncer told me to leave. Had gone there for years and I was so rudely thrown out while waiting for my ATF. Went back about nine months later and both persecuters were gone. Probably pissed off enough customers to warrant their firing. Serves them right.
