Doubt it's a strip club.

Drove by the club at 1:30 on 3/23/21 and it was not open. There were 3 or 4 vehicles including a U-haul truck around the entrance. I doubt that this place is more than a black night club on week end nights.
Got something to say?

Could be a club that was only open a short time and closed and the TUSCL page remained up (or maybe it was supposed to open but never did but a TUSCL page was created anyway)?
I assume this club is a take on Miami's previously-famous King of Diamonds - thus I assume it'd be a make-it-rain nightclub(ish) party-club and these tend to only be open at night and sometimes just a few nights like Thursdays - Saturdays.
Back in 2010 Galardi Corp owned Pink Pony, Onyx, Goldrush, Pink Pony South and the Crazy Horse Saloon. The last 2 being in Forest Park.
The original Crazy horse Saloon was located at 3950 Jonesboro RD. They built a new one at 3953 Jonesboro RD. The pink Pony was at 4730 Frontage rd. The city shut both clubs down.
in 2012 the city allowed them to reopen but only at 2 locations as strip clubs. A manager bought the original Crazy Horse Saloon at 3950 Jonesboro Rd and renamed it Rumors. The other location at 3953 became a bar/restaurant.
Pink Pony South Reopened at 4730 Frontage rd as Horse Play but failed. Was sold and reopened as Venue Night Club and failed. It was sold and renamed Kind of Diamonds. Since it's reopening it has never been clear as to whether it is a night club or a strip club.
This South Expy address appears to be incorrect.
Galardi went thru years of turmoil after opening PPS.
it seems the forest park city council went thru some changes and the widow or ex-wife of one of the city council members went on a tirade and the council drafted an ordinance at the time to shut down liquor and nudity in the same club. Galardi had the only strip clubs in forest park.
while in litigation, the forest park police would set up traffic stops on frontage road for alcohol breathalyzer tests, and they would frequently come into the club with the premise that they were doing permit checks.
the managers at PPS doomed their own club by featuring an hourly 'shooter review' forcing the dancers onto the stage with test tube watered-down shooters to sell with two table dances.
the dancers were required to sell the shooters/dances and if not, pay the club the $12 for the unsold shooter.
this disrupted the clubs flow the entire night, and forced the dancers into paying the club $12 each every hour there was a shooter review.
also, the club didn't do any advertising, even when it was still open and pouring during the litigation.
the dancers were not making any money and most decided to quit.
years later, when the economy was in the toilet, Forest Park needed the money and invited these clubs to re-open.
none of the ordinances and attention to the clubs would have happened had the former manager of the crazy horse not betrayed galardi by attempting to open his own club nearby.
