Ohio guys (mostly Cleveland area) with info on what clubs are best for dancers?

Well as you no doubt read, NE Ohio is not the best place for clubbing. I would check out three places. Christie's on the west bank of the flats and Hustler club on the east. Both bound to be fairly hopping during the summer months as the Flats in general is busier during the summer. Number three would be The Crazy Horse on Miles in Bedford which is near the Jack Thistledown casino and gets some decent traffic.

All are decent clubs and would not be considered "urban". Christies would be the most "upscale" while TCH has a more laid back neighborhood feel to it.

Longball said exactly what I was going to type. Christie’s gets a lot of that baseball game weekend crowd similar to what you were probably used to at Bouzouki in the D.

Thanks guys. Do any of the other clubs get the baseball crowd or is Christies the only one close enough? I'm trying to keep my options open but baseball crowds I've found to be very easy money.

I don’t know which worse, Cleveland or Detroit. Maybe be try downtown Chicago or Mpls.

I have no Cleveland experience but your baseball crowd comment got me thinking and I agree, from a customer standpoint. After a ball game I’m in a good mood, having sat outdoors on a nice day. My spending inhibitions have been loosened by an over priced beer or two at the ballpark. So when I’ve stopped post game, it does seem that I’m more prone to spend in the club, now that I think about it.

Well I've made good money in Detroit so if it's around the same, I'll be fine. I would like to see if anyone knows how it stacks up against Detroit though. I should've asked that in my original post.

My last comment was to the post above yours, Hunstman. But yeah, I love baseball crowds, so I think I'm leaning towards Christie's if that's the only place with a true baseball crowd ie close to the ballpark.

Hustler gets baseball crowds too.

The Flats area has a similar feel to downtown D near Greektown and Tigers Stadium. Casino, Baseball Stadium and bars. Same type of crowd.

So are Hustler and Christie's the only places in the flats? If so, I may try them out.

There is also Diamond's but, I would not even include that. Yes, on the baseball and boating crowds for those flats clubs but, depending on where you are staying not the easiest to get to. Where have I had the most fun and spent the must $$?.... Crazy Horse.

I'll be coming from a suburb so either way it will be a little drive.

If you are looking for extras you will have to try some Akron clubs. G-Spot or Old Glory Daze offer extras.

I am not looking for extras.

"... If you are looking for extras you will have to try some Akron clubs. G-Spot or Old Glory Daze offer extras ..."

LOL - I guess @DickyDoo didn't read the OP carefully where she says she's looking for a place to dance meaning she's a dancer - rare that a dancer comes on here looking for extras LOL

IDK much about Cleveland clubs but those that do should describe what the hustle/mileage is like so @Nina knows ahead of time how to adjust her hustle - i.e. I thought CLE clubs were low/no touch?

are you practicing law in ohio? we have immediate openings.

"IDK much about Cleveland clubs but those that do should describe what the hustle/mileage is like so @Nina knows ahead of time how to adjust her hustle - i.e. I thought CLE clubs were low/no touch?"

That's a good question. From reviews to seems like they are pretty low contact but I've heard girls say otherwise. Can't be worse than Detroit in that department, though. I'm gonna check out a couple as a customer. I have plenty of time to make up my mind, I won't be working there until early July.

It’s just Cleveland is so ghetto and crime ridden, kind of like Detroit. I thought the idea was to take a step up in the game if you’re going to make a change. Hell, even East St Louis would be better.

My comment about CLE mileage was w.r.t. that it may actually be *too low* - i.e. in clubs with good mileage dances kinda sell themselves - in clubs with low-mileage IMO it takes more effort to convince the PL to spend his $$$ on a low mileage dance - thus a different sales-strategy may be necessary like spending extra time w/ a PL to soften him up; etc - but I guess you'll be able to do your own recon and form your own opinion.

Da one dat says no homo on da door is da best

Did a quick search around for opinions. Never been there personally and I have no way of knowing what is true or not so take that for what it is.

Seems Christie’s or Hustler are the most popular, or Crazy Horse for a smaller environment.

There is also apparently a law that there must be 4 articles of clothing. Shoes+Panties+something else that isn’t taken off. Many choose socks or arm bands as the 4th article of clothing. Panties must go to the top of the butt crack and be at least an inch wide in the back.

Take it from someone who used to LIVE in Cleveland and have been to Detroit and Detroit clubs a million times.

1. There are wonderful places in Cleveland and Detroit, and hell holes as well. IMO, the cool areas are "cooler" in Detroit and the rough areas are "rougher" in Detroit as well. I know Michigan people hate Ohio people and vice versa but they really aren't that different. Detroit and Cleveland both have a blue-collar mentality, similar midwest accents and shitty football and currently shitty basketball teams as well.

2. I find it easier to get around in Cleveland than Detroit. I always joked that some city planner got a good deal on concrete because in Detroit where they needed 1 road they went ahead and built 3 making everything confusing as shit. One thing to note, running around Detroit I always felt you can go what ever speed you want on I75-94-96. You can't do that when you're on I90-71-77-80 and 480 in Cleveland.

2. As for clubs and a bunch of people throwing their 2 cents in that have never even stepped foot in a club in Ohio in their life, listen to what Longball is saying. I have been to Christies (and its former iterations) several times and the other clubs only a few times, because when in Cleveland I always just go to Christies. Christies has dances on the floor which IME can get pretty high mileage. They do have private VIPs where extras have been known to occur but you're dropping some serious money. In Detroit it is expected, in Cleveland it's a rare surprise.

I know one of the last times I was there, there was this weird law where dancers had to put clear pasties over their nipples while on stage after midnight, but they didn't have to have them on during lapdances. This was due to some weird "city" ordinance and this was way before we even know what COVID was. I also know at one time some dancers were allowed to dance nude on stage before midnight as well, although less than half took their bottoms off at least when I was there.

What Shai said is spot on; pretty much in all aspects. I have spent large amounts of time in both cities and I could not have said it better.

Read my somewhat recent review of Crazy Horse - Miles.

@ Meat - AZ AZ AZ.... have you ever actually been to either City?

For the record I like Michigan / Detroit people just fine and even have lots of good yinzer friends from Picksburg too..... why can't we all just get along?

Wow, detailed stuff there. Yeah idk why but I’m starting to come to the conclusion that the Midwest is the wonkiest region in dancer groups for any type of reliable info. Blah would know more than I would on that. But jeez, somewhere like Texas generally what dancers say tends to line up more I’m noticing.

Also, I get the impression meat is posting just to stir the pot lol

Thanks guys for all your input. I really appreciate it. Keep it coming. I'm not going to be dancing there until early July, so I have plenty of time to find a place I like. Also, I'll be working a lot of day shifts. I actually heard Crazy Horse in Bedford has a good day shift. Oh and it's not a matter of wanting to "step up" in the game (I've already done that at nicer places), in fact I'm retiring from dancing by the end of this year. I'm going to be staying with my boyfriend for a chunk of the summer, he lives in the 'burbs out there, and I don't want to just be laying around all day while he's at work. That's why I'll be primarily working day shift. I'll probably go to a couple of these clubs with him soon to scope things out. 😎

"Shoes+Panties+something else that isn’t taken off. Many choose socks or arm bands as the 4th article of clothing."

I wonder if garters could count. That's what I keep my money on with a rubber band. I could wear one on each thigh.

Bumping this only because I've narrowed it down to Christies in Brunswick and Crazy Horse Bedford but won't be trying either until the end of this month. Any info on dance prices, hiring standards, attire, and general club info is greatly appreciated. I will primarily be working day shift. Thanks.

My review of CH Bedford gives you some idea of pricing and attire; note it was from a few years ago.

Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland? No thanks, but that’s because my SO doesn’t live there. Plus west coast women are way more attractive than beefy 24/7 indoor raised pale faces.

"My review of CH Bedford gives you some idea of pricing and attire; note it was from a few years ago."

Question regarding attire: were the girls there all in dresses/gowns, or were there some wearing bikinis and/or lingerie sets? I ask because a girl who worked there years ago told me there was a dress code (gowns) but that it might not still be in effect. When I've looked at what social media pics I could find, it didn't seem like that dress code was still endorced as I saw girls in two piece lingerie sets etc.

Enforced*

Attire was kinda all over the place... definitely not gowns when i was there; lingerie, bikinis, teddies...

Thanks. Definitely might try that club in a few weeks.

None of the Cleveland clubs have a gown dress code any more.

Best money:
Downtown, Christies and Hustler as mentioned can be cut throat on weekends

east side: bedford for crazy horse

south: Christies brunswick - lots of regulars and younger crowd on weekends. maybe the least amount of dance drama in the area... management changes all the time so if not your scene this week try next week.

airport: I stay away from there the last few years. Every place I'd stop in was want a be drug dealers and strung out dances. maybe thing have changed, but I work in that neighborhood and is an area in decline.

^Thanks. I saw the airport Crazy Horse in a few bad news articles and it seems kind of trashy for my taste. I don't really want to work in Cleveland for a few reasons, so I've narrowed it down to Crazy Horse Bedford and Christies Brunswick.

^ read your comment on working day shift. Both are hit or miss during the day... Brunswick is opening later in the afternoon and Bedford still has a lunch open.

^So Christie's Brunswick doesn't have a full day shift right now? I wonder if the same is for Crazy Horse, I saw on their website that they're not opening until 2 or so but google says otherwise. I'll just have to call next week and find out. I don't plan on auditioning for another 2-3 weeks.

"There is also Diamond's but, I would not even include that."

Why would you not include Diamonds?
