For some reason I've been paying attention to club names recently.
I hate the stupid intentional misspellings: Platinum Dollz, Bottomz Up, Club Sinsations, Sinsaysionals, Lipstixx. One exception might be Suthern Kumforts, which is spelled so stupidly as to make me think that the owners are making fun of their Prairieville, Louisiana hick selves.
Pleasant Moments sounds like somewhere you take Grandma for afternoon tea.
Chubbies Club: fat chicks only?
I don't hate all club names, though. The ones with obvious sexual meanings are good, because I'm juvenile: Wet Spot, Mr. Happy's, Strokers, and probably my favorite of all, Lumber Yard.
I also like Casa Diablo, although I can't say why.
There are some that I just can't make sense of. There's a club in Iowa called Bookem Dan'o. We're naming clubs after TV quotes now?
i was looking through some club names and ran across one in london ontario called beef baron. WTF??? might be a good name for a gay club but it's a terrible name for a strip club with female dancers!
Earl, if you are talking about the Mr. Happy's in CT it is a misnomer - it is one of the most ridiculous, no-action no energy clubs one could ever visit.
A long gone club here in Columbia, SC was Chippendolls. It was a totally nude club but city fathers wouldn't issue alcohol sales license so you could bring your own beer & wine. Grocery store across the street sold more beer & wine than any grocery store in the state I heard. The owner's daughter danced at the club sometimes.
EarlTee- I've been to Book 'em Dano's in Denison Iowa both before and after its Big Earl's Key Club period. Presumably, it was around when Hawaii Five-O was a new TV show.
One that falls into the intentional misspelling group that I visited is the Bear Chest Lounge in Beloit, Wisconsin. Another personal favorite name is the High Heel Saloon in Somonauk, Illinois. I don't think either of them is anything special.
Worst name I know about, one place I missed although I drove past it once, is the Kappa Kabanna in Kappa, Illinois.
Gator, the authorities might not permit Fuck You Dick. Obscene, you know. But how could they object to Pussy Galore? Or something like Your Mama Dances Here? Any other ideas?
Mons Venus: It sounds like a sexual gland. As a matter of fact, the mons pubis is a female pubic region, and Venus is mythologically known as the goddess of love. So, when you walk into the underbelly of Mons Venus in hot and sticky
I meant to say this when I first saw your post, but, I too, hate "stupid intentional misspellings", such as GurlZ! Nothing like helping with the "dumbing" down of America!
I always liked the name Booby Trap myself. The Foxy Lady, Desire, and the Kamasutra Club are good names as well IMO. The Golden Banana never made any sense to me. Le Vignoble (The Winery) never made any sense either, but it's decor is like a very, very small wine cellar. Caleche Du Sexe (Sex Carriage) is a weird one. Les Belles De Nuit (The Beautiful Women of the Night) was just really, really bad false advertising on their part...lol...
The Red Dog Saloon always struck me as an odd name also. I thought that Babes-R-Us was a real baby supply place...lol...

last commentBeen in a lot of Gold Clubs. Didn't like any of them.
I like clubs with "Lounge" in the name. Old school.
