A strip club or a brothel?

Both. You can go and just enjoy the show, or you can order from the menu.

There are some strip clubs in the Detroit area that i sometimes wonder if they are clubs or brothels

Also the number 2 club #2. Adelita Bar is similar

Since they have dancing there and rooms/girls to rent, it's the best of both worlds. It's on my must-do list when I'm next in SoCal.

Neither : )

I'm disappointed there are no reviews of the joints in Juarez. Those are some scary places! And the same question applies.

I've never been to Tijuana, but people have accused my favorite Detroit clubs of being brothels. However, I don't think "brothel" is the correct term for these clubs, because I hear some of the dancers don't fuck and suck for money.

Jack may be on to something. The Detroit clubs are in the strip club business, with prostitution as a sideline that not all the girls participate in. But the TJ clubs are primarily in the prostitution business, with the bar/club part of it serving mostly as a place to observe and pick out a girl while enjoying a beer.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but what difference does it make what any given place is called? The important thing is whether or not you're getting what you want.
