Church or Club?

Do you club on Sundays? Why or why not? It seems that a lot of clubs are either closed on Sundays or open late.

In Atlanta there are only 5 of 40+ clubs open on Sundays. I have to wonder if it is religion that keeps them closed or is it just the fact that the dancers need a day of rest? Or is it that the customers would rather do other things on Sundays.

As for me, I am heading to Follies in a few hours. It rarely disappoints on Sunday afternoons.

Not during football season - some things are sacred, after all.

I club when I can and often as not that is a Sunday. In fact I had a great time last Sunday. But yes, it can be difficult to find a club open early on Sunday.

I'm an atheist, so no church for me.

However, I did have the idea of starting my own church in my 20s. The plan was a version of xianity that involve lots of sex with hot chicks. An cruising around in a bus following the Dead. And shrooms and acid and weed were necessary to keep in good standing.

Clubbing would be a sacrament because strip club beer can be transformed into the blood of Christ. The Catholics have it wrong, you see, because it is the presence of beer in close proximity to a strippers exposed pussy that causes transsubstantiation. Priests can't do it. At least that was my story at the time. Idea seemed really good when I had dropped some windowpane and the walls were melting.

Alas, I didn't begin my religion. But at least I can afford strippers now that I'm middle aged. And who knows, perhaps I'll retire and go cruise the country convincing hot ass strippers to become my deciples. Wife wouldn't understand, but a man has got to follow his god...

Just another day of the week. Sometimes drop in, all clubs are open in Seattle as usual. Only thing is it's work the next day and Fridays and Saturdays tend to have hotter chicks. On the three day weekends though - count me in!

I don't think I've ever clubbed on a Sunday. The only reason I would want to is watch to watch football and be in at club at the same time, but the Vikings are rarely televised in my area. So I have to go to a bar that has NFL Sunday Ticket.

I prefer weekends because usually the dancers are a lot hotter.

I go on Sundays. Organized Religion has no place in my life.

I am an atheist. So religion plays no role in my life. I hate it when the church comes into the strip clubs and tries to get the girls out of the industry. It causes for an annoyance. I always go to the strip clubs on Saturdays so I don't really know what they are like on Sundays. I go on Saturdays since nothing beats watching UK football or basketball during the day and then hitting up the club at night!

Atheist here also so church is no issue for me (though I still love gospel music). There was a club in town that used to be excellent on Sunday afternoons. They had plenty of extremely hot dancers and waitresses, and $10 dances all day long. Even better, although the dances were half price, it was still pretty much a no hustle environment.

Well the club is still around but the talent is pathetic. Things really started to go downhill a few years ago (as did SCs in general). I would love to find another club situation like that again. But I know those days are gone

Clubs near me a closed on Sundays. If I did it would have to be afternoon shift so I could still make it to work on Monday.

Another atheist here. I go whenever it strikes my fancy to do so. A couple of the clubs here are open Sunday evenings, and the talent is usually decent.

In Columbus, clubs have reduced hours on Sunday. Sirens opens 11am monday-saturday but doesn't open until 7pm on sundays. Kahoots opens 11:30am monday-saturday but not until 4pm or maybe 6pm now. Kahoots is the earliest club that opens on Sundays in Columbus. Unfortunately it is the slowest day of the week usually.

There is a new columbus club opening called Roadhouse Revue that is suppose to be open noon-midnight 7 days a week so hopefully this will be a good sunday day shift club. Unfortunately this club is in the old location of Candy Shop and that place was a dive so I can't see this place being much better. The only thing different is that there is now a mega casino opened up on the west side that is suppose to revitalize the area...but I just don't see it happening!

Church or club, you ask?

Both are in the business of peddling a fantasy.

@art: True, but only one is honest about the fact that it *is* (or to be fair, *likely* is) a fantasy.

I know of some clubs that are closed a day or two of the week. Let's the employees all have a day off and also some days aren't really lucrative to be open on.

My experiences in L.A. and Seattle are that all of the strip clubs are open on Sundays. Most open a few hours later than the rest of the week, but Sunday afternoons has to be the slowest time of the week. I have one fave that works that time, but I'll go to see her on another day. I like going when the clubs are busy, not dead, like Sunday's usually are. Like many of the above, Sunday afternoons are prime sports times, not just during football season. If I don't have any plans outside, I'm home watching sports on TV on Sundays. But, I don't usually even THINK of going to a strip club on Sunday afternoons.

I would have to put it up to a lack of customers, although there might be local laws. If there were local customers the management would certainly add or extend the weekend shift.

Here in the Northeast, it has been a very long standing tradition for clubs to either stay closed on Sundays or to open in the evening. This applies to NY, CT (with some scattered exceptions) and MA. RI is the notable exception as most of the Providence clubs open on or about noon on Sundays.

Even in NYC, as large and cosmopolitan as it may be, you would have trouble finding a club that is open on Sunday afternoon and some of them do not open at all on Sundays.

Nah, the only club in NYC I saw that's actually closed on sundays is Private Eyes, but that shit is full of fugly, skinny rusiian bitches anyway. I don't wanna visit them on fri-saturdays. There is more than a little slightly less than some clubs are open on sundays, they just open later and close earlier.

^Penthouse, NY Dolls and the Hustler Club are also closed on Sundays.

As for the rest, that is why I said "or open in the evening." Shadow's initial complaint was that either the clubs were not open at all of that they opened late. I was sharing the fact that the same situation exists here.

Miami, FL is not exactly the bible belt and it being very touristy, businesses tend to be open every day and for lots of hours during the day – thus all the clubs that I know off down here are definitely open on Sundays. I would say many of the smaller ones are probably closed during the day on Sundays most likely to give the staff some time off and since Su. afternoons are probably the deadest times. I’ve never clubbed on Sat. or Su. afternoons but have clubbed w/ good success on weekday afternoons (usually past 4:00 p.m.) and Su. eves.

I’ve always had the sense that ATL is a pretty conservative/religious area and that may be the reason for the clubs being closed on Sundays? The ATL also has a large African American (AA) population and the church tends to often have a significant role in the AA community. Many urban/AA radio stations will play gangsta rap during the week and yet will only play gospel music on Su. mornings/afternoons. Could there be a connection b/w the large AA ATL community and the fact than Su. are treated differently – not sure but could be?

Having said this, I lived in Dallas, TX for a few years and that area tends to be pretty conservative – yet I don’t recall the clubs being closed on Sundays (at least not in the evenings which is when I would go).
