Old School Strip Clubs
Muddy
USA
You guys got any examples of strip clubs that go way back or maybe even some stories if you go way back with them? I think it's cool hearing about how some of these still standing spots have changed over the years or even how they haven't changed at all.
Got something to say?

That's when it was taken over by Larry Flynt in the late 60's and turned into one of his first strip clubs back before he started Hustler Magazine. He and his partner moved the club a few blocks down the road to it's current location in 1970 and Flynt sold his share of the club to his partner's sister. That same family is still running the club at that location more than 50 years later.
Sadly the club is not even close to it's former glory that saw celebrities like Pete Rose and other members of the Big Red Machine as frequent customers. Now it is just a run down dive bar of a bikini club like all of the rest of the Northern Kentucky clubs.
The only recent history I can remember is of the Lace club in Wayne.
When I was in high school in the 1980’s it was a night club with those huge spot lights that you could see from miles away. I believe the club was called Trumps - lol!
It is a black cinder block building across an access road near the NJ DMV location where folks take their road test to get their license - but I used to think it was a very glamorous spot!
Over the years it became less glamorous - and it became a strip club Lace.
For those who remember a band with the same name - it’s also directly behind where a store called Fountains of Wayne used to be.
I’ll put the brass ass on my list of where to go to. Maybe I’ll see Johnny Bench there who knows.
And Cash I had no idea about Lace goes that far back.
This is something I might seek out a little more, like “hey how longs this place been around?” Instead of the usual “Shake ya booty!”
Brass Rail was a low cost place to relax and get to know a girl or two. Girls are just ordinary girls, and if you never treat them as anything other than that, they can be yours.
But now the whole thing is gone to real estate developers.

Also in Atlanta Tattletale's goes back to the late 70's.
The Cheetah (at a different location a couple of blocks away) goes back to the mid 70's. They had a burlesque show style comic who would appear.
