What is a Review?
In this post (https://www.tuscl.net/postread.php?PID=19789) I suggested that TUSCL needs to have separate "Reviews" and "Reports", the latter being of the the variety typical of a "Visited this SC last night, not much action so I left."
A review, IMHO, is a lengthier analysis of the merit or lack thereof of a SC. I will be the first to concede that my first reviews were lacking in this area, but I've been trying to improve them. Here is what I would like to see in a "first visit review":
Start by being specific about when you went to the club; "Thursday night" does not tell me much, and "sometime last month" is even less helpful. Was it the dead of winter with six inches of snow, or was it a weekend night when the race was in town. If the club was dead on the former instance, I'm not surprised, if the latter, that tells me something.
Next, described the location -- is it safe, shady, etc. What's the parking lot like -- or is there none. Am I likely to find my car sitting on blocks when I leave the club. Include a description of the building and whether its easy to spot.
Entering the club: Is there a bouncer? Are you wanded? Do they check IDs? And a major one: Do they make you leave your cellphone in you car?
Cover: Be specific . . . is there a cover all the time or just in the evening? Id there a separate membership fee? And HOW MUCH? (I am constantly amazed at the number of reviews that say "I paid a cover . . . I think it was $7 or something -- Really? You cannot remember how much it was? Consider cutting back on the booze, my friend.)
Describe the interior -- be specific. Is it took dark, too bright, big, or small? What is the stage(s) like?Is there a bar and how big. Is the furniture nice or ratty? Are their private areas for LDs (and how private).
Describe the ambiance -- Is there a DJ or just a jukebox? Pool tables, darts, big screen TVs? What is the Bathroom like -- is it staffed? What kind of music do they play? What is the clientele like (cowboys, construction workers, frat boys, businessmen). Do thye serve food? What types of drinks are offered and at what cost.
Describe the number, variety and quality of the dancers. Describe the stage rotation.
Describe the availability of private dances, cost, frequency of 2-4-1 or specials. Do the dancers circulate or head to the bar or dressing room? Is it a hard sell for dances. What is the level of contact. What extras are offered.

I've also noticed reviews that were about 50% verbatum quotes from the review posted immediately prior. Most seem to be from just a few reviewers.
Most on here are takers. They post vague stuff that could apply to any strip club in the country just to get VIP to see what the other…
It must be election season when a douchebag works politics into a discussion on strip club reviews.

Dougster is telling someone else not to take this place to seriously? LOL.
I've always felt the review submission feature should have more of a template (kind of along what Jackson is describing) but in the end dancer quality and mileage…
I agree that dancer quality/interaction/pricing is important . . . but the issue I have with that is twofold. First, YMMV -- especially as one tends to…

I totally agree with you Jackeon. Things like ease of parking, ability to find the club, clientele - while apparently unimportant to some - are very important to…

In a nutshell:

Here's a recently posted review that hits most of the right notes, IMHO
