My nominee is The Acropolis in Portland, Oregon. In this picture the vertical stripage looks light blue, but I could've, sworn it was teal when I saw it in person. Making things far, far worse is the presence of a sister building which sits behind where the photo was taken from. It is painted the same way, giving the entire block a nightmarish look.
In my profile pics I have uploaded several pictures of what Ohio strip clubs look like. Worst looking strip club could also be Blue Diamond, Candy Store, or Rumor's. As for the worst looking strip club inside I would vote for Sam's Hideaway or Danny's Gold Fox (now known as Lollipop's)
Also looks can be deceiving. A bad looking strip club on the outside but be a high mileage gem on the inside. A nice looking strip club might be low mileage. Also neighborhood location can make or break a strip club's appearance.
Sam, I viewed them. While Rumor's doesn't look too inspiring, and the full horror of The Candy Store can't be appreciated (out of focus?), that overly-rusty signage for The Blue Diamond screems "Get a tetanus shot all yeh who dare come here!" [Seriously, how much would it cost just to paint over?!?] By the way, no fair including a picture of Centerfolds... I'm still trying to blot out my $40 VIP nightmare there [I saw a nipple!!!!!!]
As for the inside at The Acropolis, dancers entertain all seated at the sides of their corral (yes it is a VERY rustic feel.) Witnessed one of the best-looking au natural blondes I've ever seen in a club spot a guy using his cell to take her picture while she was up and full nude; bouncer came and 'removed' unwanted behavior. No idea how many pieces he got his phone back in.
No way CT...some of samsung's many strip club pics (particularly Rumor's or The Candy Store) beat this OR one. I would nominate Diamond Dolls/Diamond Cabaret (or whatever they are calling themselves these days) in Plattsburgh, NY. That place looked like an old, wooden road house that hadn't been renovated in many decades. The place looked like it could fall over at any minute...
Does anyone remember Bones' old "jack joint" in OH? The picture of the deck at that place was a riot...it looked like a tornado hit it.
"Also looks can be deceiving. A bad looking strip club on the outside but be a high mileage gem on the inside."
Very true...especially for the above strip club in northern NY state.
I can't believe we are talking about this. No strip club building is an architectural gem, and if it somehow were, they'd paint it to look like it wasn't.
Ahaha, yep, I remember this club. I was born and raised in Portland, OR. Drove past it plenty of times. Ugly-ass building, isn't it?
BTW, Brad's Brass Flamingo, which is the highest-ranked club in Indiana, is on Southeastern Ave., which is not in a super-rich neighborhood at all. Lower white middle class neighborhood, to be exact.
Dan, not bad! Love the painted over windows, spray painted name = they spent a bundle fixing it up. Yet the business barely pictured next door looks pretty nice.
Did you view Samsung's Blue Diamond?
Fetish: A once native Portlander?? Grow tired of correcting midwestern people who say OreGONE? Glad to hear you feel the same way about The Acropolis. I wonder when a neighborhood community group made up of "concerned parents" will assemble and descend upon the Acrop to douse it in a fresh coat of white during the middle of the night???
KPrince: I was thinking about the exterior when I wrote the title for the thread. But since you brought up Henry's South, how can you be sure it eclipses Bogart's?
The "Best Friendly Service" Award:
http://iowastripclubs.com/Sherris-8354-6… ...because I got confused when I saw "Engine Diagnostics, Wheel Balance, Front End Alignment, Brakes-Mufflers, and Tune-Ups" on the side of the building. "Holy shit, they fix your car while you're at the club?!" :)
LOL, Kprince, spoken like a man with experience. That is what Henry VIII South is all about. Cum one, cum all!!! CT is right also, Don's clubs here in Detroit are not architectual gems, but who cares.
@CTWERTY: Uh, yeah! LOL. That and telling me I have an accent. 'You sound like a chick off 90210.' I still don't think I have an accented voice...I think everyone else does! Ha!
Yeah, I was born in Oregon and raised for part of my life there, then I transitioned to Washington and stayed there until just a year ago.
"Transitioned to WA?" As in pay no Oregon state income tax by living in Vancouver, and buy everything in Oregon to avoid WA sales tax??? [For those not in the know, WA has no state income tax, and Oregon has no sales tax. Think of how much someone saves in sales and state income taxes by living just barely on the WA side of the Columbia River; THAT'S A LOT OF LAP DANCES!!!!]
Fetish, I saw your "sisters" featured once on CNBC. A group of "little old sweet grannies" had gotten together to form their investment club and were interviewed during the broadcast day. Course what I thought of was the 7+% they were likely saving in taxes everyday!

http://iowastripclubs.com/50_club_photos… shows a number of them in Iowa, as well as WI, IL, SD, and NE. Some of them are truly ugly. My worst is http://iowastripclubs.com/TouchOfClass-7… which happens to be in Fort Dodge, IA. My favorite club is not much to look at, although I've only seen it once during daylight that I remember. An outdated pic of that club is at http://iowastripclubs.com/ShotgunGeniez-…
The thing about run-down shacks, they tend to be in areas where the surrounding real estate really doesn't differ too much.

"Candy-striped in teal and white in a residential area?"
Sure, I'm sure it looks awful & out of place, but it doesn't look like it's about to fall down IMO.
