Blackjacks Gentlemen's club; The #1 Chicagoland strip club within 75 miles of Do
In a previous discussion, someone had replied with a mention of the Industrial Strip, which unfortunately is also in the ghetto. From my personal experiences, the #1 Chicagoland Strip Club within less than 75 miles of Downtown Chicago is Blackjacks Gentlemen's Club near Elgin. Not only does Blackjacks have great girls, great food, and 2-way touching, high contact lap dances (yes, you can even touch her boobs during lap dances at Blackjacks, plus the pasties have totally gone the way of the wild goose at Blackjacks), but Blackjacks sits in a very safe neighborhood. Even safe enough that you can get there by bicycle, and especially as Blackjacks is less than a block from the Illinois Prairie Path. Also, unlike those south side death trap clubs (Atlantis, Club O, Industrial Strip, etc), Blackjacks does not play around at all. They have lots of video surveilance inside and outside, and a zero tolerance policy for shootings, homicides, robberies, assaults, fights, drug dealings, and in fact, guns are totally prohibited inside the club! Anyone who even pulls a gun on someone at Blackjacks is promptly ejected from the club and reported to the police. Blackjacks is the place to go in Northern Illinois east of Interstate 39 if you like high contact, two way touching lap dances, but don't like all the violence, shootings, bloodshed and such that takes place at those Chicagoland south side clubs.While Polekatz and Heavenly Bodies are also nice places and also sit in safe neighborhoods, lap dances at those two clubs are far less contact than at Blackjacks, and touching is not allowed except maybe, just maybe, on her waist. Also, All Star Bar and Grill in McCook is a high contact place, sits in a safe neighborhood, but it is a lingerie club (the dancers don't take their clothes off during lap dances).
Basically, in other words, anyone in Chicagoland looking to relieve their sexual fantasies without the violence really have a handful of choices. If you are looking for just any old strip club and don't care whether it is high contact or not, you have All Star Bar & Grill in McCook, Polekatz in Bridgeview, Heavenly Bodies in Elk Grove Village, and Blackjacks Gentlemen's Club in Elgin. If you are the handsy type, sorry, but really your only choices are Blackjacks Gentlemen's Club and All Star Bar& Grill.
Of course, off the main path stands Uncle Paulie's Bar in Glen Ellyn, which though it also sits in a safe neighborhood, is really only good for watching the dancers. Lap dances there are not worth your money at all, the absolute maximum amount of contact you will get is an occasional tap on your shoulder by the dancer, but you must keep your hands totally to yourself at all times and can not touch the dancer at all.

How do you feel about the Melrose Park/Stone Park bikini bars such as Carl's, Bobby's, and Louie's? My impression is that they're pretty high-touch, and the neighborhood seems safe enough. The bikini tops and pantyhose are a bit of a turnoff, though.
FWIW, I can't really comment with absolute certainty, but I think if I ever went to Industrial Strip, I would think that's a safe area, as opposed to CT's in Gary, which looks scary even in daylight.
Who the fuck wants to hike all the way out to Elgin to visit a dry club (no alcohol served) and pay $50 for LDs when you can go to Harvey or Hammond and enjoy a full range of vices for more reasonable prices? I've also read several reports which claim that the talent in Blackjack is rather lacking. So to sum it up, the OP is suggesting that we hike out there from Chicago just to endure more alcohol restrictions and pay $50 to get LDs from 6s or maybe 7s.
LOL.
Do you think, if I'm nice enough, that one of them might let me touch her butt, too?
In spite of the fact that I feel Smokey's endorsement a bit too exuberant, I enjoy reading the exchange of opinions.
Smokey, those of us who run businesses become well acquainted with the concept of competitive advantage. Truth be told, Blackjacks just doesn't seem to have any, other than being the only club in its immediate vicinity, which means that it likely captures the locals in the Elgin area. If you have alcohol restrictions that other clubs don't, worse talent and more expensive nude dances, you're going to have trouble competing for guys who have a range of other choices.
