I'll be in Milwaukee a couple days in late October; I know it's a ways off, but I'd love any advice on a good club to try out. I'm looking for good value and moderate mileage. I'll be at the Wisconsin Center downtown, so anything around there is good. Yes, I've read the reviews for the clubs. For a dive club Ricky's looks interesting. Is it as sketchy as the reviewers say? How about a more upscale place to try as well? Any first hand opinions and advice are welcome!
The clubs in the downtown area suck rockstar and I mean badly. They are very tightly controlled and the talent is often lacking. You have to venture out a little further to find decent talent.
I have always liked Heartbreakers in West Allis. The ratings crashed recently because Sinclair trashed the joint, but I think it is worth a shot. It is not too far from downtown and there are usually enough girls in the place so that something will strike a guy's fancy. The mileage in the LD area can also be pretty decent with the right girl.
Some people swear by Silk Exotic (Juneau) or On The Border (Franklin). I have been to Silk and I did not like it and it definitely wasn't worth the hike to me. I have never been to OTB as I also stay downtown when I visit Milwaukee and have never read anything that has motivated me to hike out that far.
Sounds like Rick has the skinny. I will say that I have been to On the Border (about 1 year ago) and it was really bad (and not close to downtown). You are better off staying in your hotel room and masturbating to Three's Company reruns or Magic Bullet infomercials than wasting your time in that rat hole.
All of the WI clubs I have been in have been pretty tame. It has been years since I was in a Milwaukee club but I was in the area recently so I carefully read the area reviews and decided they were the same.
I waited until I got to Madison and visited The Geisha House. I would suggest you review parlors on RubMaps for Milwaukee.
LOL Thanks everyone for their input! Reading the reviews, I saw that the clubs basically suck, and not in a good way. If I go to a club I'm thinking Ricky's. Black clubs usually offer great mileage, and as long as you're not beat up, robbed or shot it's a good time. Has anyone here ever been there?
Have not been there but from reading a few reviews in the past it appears the city of Milwaukee is particularly strict and the clubs not worth it – seems clubs outside of Milwaukee are the ones that get more of the reviews.
Sinclair and Mr Deuce I think have reviewed clubs in that area recently and I trust their judgment – I would look at the clubs w/ the most reviews and take a guess those are the most popular and perhaps better ones in the area.
rockstar, I'll put it to you this way. My 1st and only visit to MKE clubs happened 20 years ago. I was very disappointed in my visits to multiple different clubs (2-3). I went there expecting better after a plug from a submitter in a Stripclub Guide magazine. This still stands out as 1 of my 3 worst stripclub visits in the last 2 decades. Still interested ? I'll second M-saults suggestion, except make that free porn.
Whatever you do, don't go to the Airport Lounge. My only Milwaukee SC experience and damn close to the worst club I have ever visited. Of course, that was 12 years ago, so maybe that one shouldn't count.
Best bets? A bottle of decent scotch, the porn-all-night option on the tube in your room, a tube of moisturizer (check on the washroom vanity) and have at it. :-(
My job has had me in Milwaukee half the summer. I wrote reviews on eight clubs in the past few months. (Only ones I skipped were the black clubs.) The Brew City scene is very bad. No touching pretty much, although On The Border allows some two-way, but it is in Franklin, south of the city. Saw signs in multiple clubs stating touching dancers was punishable by fine or jail time; must be a Milwaukee ordinance. All these clubs also have the tip walk, which keeps ugly dancers making enough money to stay in the profession.
Lots of sexy women in Milwaukee, but unfortunately the clubs don't show that. Even on night shifts, the dancers were rough. My advice is to hit the bar scene and steer clear of the clubs.
No first-hand experience but per the reviews seems like “The Hardware Store” in Clymam has good mileage – but the club seems to be mostly AA (but apparently some wittegirls too) and it also seems to be about 60 miles from Milwaukee (does seem the club is white-custy friendly so mostly AA dancers should not deter you unless you don't like hitting the chocolate).
Milwaukee's been my hub for some time, so I guess I can speak to it, though I won't have many different opinions than what you've seen above.
Silk & OTB are basically the two best options, but that's not saying much. Extras are a near impossibility here and I've never had luck OTC, either. Neither club has a ton of blow-you-out-of-the-water women. Silk, at present, has a young lady named after a Lewis Carroll character who is quite nice, and occasionally has one or two other decent ones, but beyond that, pfft. OTB only has decent talent on the weekends, I've found, and that's hit-or-miss, depending on the type you like, too.
For as much as rickdugan seems to like Heart Breakers, I always think their talent is meh at best, uninspired and uninterested. Then again, I prefer the more Vegas-style atmosphere and Heart Breakers is a Vegas-style environment place that, unfortunately, is often populated with Reno-style talent and biker-style clientele.
If black clubs are your thing, The Cheetah Club is on the north side, but the area is sketchy at best.
Our escort scene is also decidedly meh. Sadly, I think people here care more about the Packers than they do about feeling sexually satisfied.
Honestly, if you have the means, I'd recommend an excursion elsewhere. If you really like glam, i.e. big, fake boobs on skinny blonde pornstar types, then head 90 min. south to Scores Chicago or even further to Polekatz. If you like the dive-type places where the ladies might openly discuss using pot, but also might be willing to entertain ideas beyond just your typical lap dance, head about 75 min. west to Club Bristol outside Madison. While there, yes, the Geisha House has massage options there for the desperate, but the one time I went, I had the choice of four haggard ladies and decided to just pass.
I occasionally get to travel to Detroit. It's like a whole different world there when you deal with what you get here.
Thanks Anonymous! I live in a Chicago burb so I know all about the Harvey clubs. Yes, Milwaukee looks poor for clubbing; I might just go to a regular bar and have a more inexpensive if less stimulating time.
Yeah, I'll occasionally treat myself with a trip down to Scores and my ATF danced at Polekatz. A lot of folks rip on the Chicago clubs, but compared to Milwaukee, they're heaven, though a pricey heaven.
Depending on your aim, on a fall Friday or Saturday night, Milwaukee's bar scene offers options to at least view some nice scenery. College girls tend to congregate in the bar districts on Water Street, Old World 3rd, Brady Street, North Ave. and near Cathedral Square. Red Rock is a popular country bar, Buckhead is always hopping with dancing & drunkenness, McGillycuddy's is a classic option, etc. You'll even find halfway decent girls in a lot of dive bars because, honestly, Milwaukeeans are tremendously cheap and anyplace with cheap drinks, dive or no, will draw.
Note, however, that Milwaukee's not exactly the easiest city to pick up women in general. While a city in size, it's still small-ish, and there's not a lot of population turnover. People who move here stay and don't seem to leave, so everyone seems to know everyone in a six-degrees-of-Kevin-Bacon sort of way, which makes women kind of hesitant to pull the trigger on something quickly. There's always that sneaking suspicion that another gal at work or the cousin down the block knows you from someplace and would look down upon both her and you if they found out either of you were picking up someone at a bar.
Plus, unlike a lot of other places, going to a bar is something you do in Milwaukee with a group of friends you already know, not really to meet people. So unless you have a good wingman or two who can mingle you into another group of ladies, and you're willing to wait out a date or two, you might not have luck, because cockblock game here seems to be strong.
If you want to go a little older, there's always Victim's, er, Victor's, on the East Side, which is kind of known as a home for skeezy, gold-chain-wearing, 40-60-something guys trying to pick up ladies ranging from the young and naive to the cougarish and desperate for any semblance of validation. But yeah, you get what you get there.
Sexual frustration seems to be a theme in Milwaukee. Until Walker, we were always a state known for being politically progressive but quite morally conservative. Unfortunately, what I would have rather seen change stayed the same and the other part did a radical flip. Oh well.
