Description of the Club Layout in the Reviews
Hi all - as a lover of the site and the intel we spread to each other, I was just wondering what we all think of the description of the clubs' setups in the reviews. A lot of time is spent typing and reading by valuable, respectable members about the description of the club. Is this really that important? I'm not saying get rid of that part entirely, but often the reviews include multiple words/paragraphs talking about where the bar is, where the chairs are, where the stage is etc etc.. Does that really matter to people, I know I really don't care at all. I feel like just a quick description of the overall impression of the classiness/size of the club is enough: "This is a very large, upscale club with a medium-size stage and two bars. There are nice sofas and tables to sit and it is overall clean." Or "This is a small dive that seemed low-end and a bit dirty. There were two small stages and a bar. Bathroom was disgusting."
That's all I would need, and then move onto the important parts: Entry fee, Parking, Safety, Cost of drinks, Girls Girls Girls, LD cost/quality, Private Rooms etc..
I'm fine either way, but just wondering what others thought of this. Do you all really care about whether the bar is in the back or the stage is on the right etc?

I don't mind taking an extra minute to say something about the place. And it doesn't hurt to at least try and give some useful information. Nobody cares if the men's room is on the left or right, but you might say something about the barstools being really comfortable or they gave you a fucking splinter in your ass. Or the real granite bar added some class to an otherwise run down dive joint.
As I always say - the intel in this forum is great!
I do agree that club description helps filter out fake reviews and reviews submitted for the wrong club. There's 3 Cheetahs in south Florida, many times the description is the first thing that alerts you to the fact the review is submitted for the wrong club. There's a bunch of fake reviews for other clubs around here too, when you read them trying to describe the layout it's quite obvious.
There's probably some descriptions of the club that are more useful than others. I probably suck at making that determination because I don't really thing about it. So while I'd agree that knowing the shitter is on the left or the right is probably not very useful, knowing that lap dances are done in an open area at one end of the club, vs a communal area with partial dividers, vs shared cubicles with a curtain, vs a private area without a curtain, vs a completely private area with a curtain or door, etc. is probably quite useful. The same idea about stages, knowing that the stage is approximatly 4 ft wide, 23ft long, and raised 28in isn't so important. But knowing that there's 1 stage that sometimes has a girl on it vs knowing there's 5 stages that are in constant rotation is good to know.
Ultimately though, they'll never be any universal agreement on the matter. I say as long as a review has some useful content and doesn't have multiple factual errors, post it/approve it. If someone wants to take 5 minutes to articulate the exact number of chairs at the bar, its exact angle relative to the stage, and the number of paces to the bathroom, it doesn't bother me at all. I can skip over that part of the review. I'll put some layout info in my reviews, but I try to focus on things I find useful. # of stages & if they have a rotation, if they have lots of bar or table seating, lots of sections for bottle service, shit like that.
I can't go to a club like flight club in inkster michigan because I pack, and I can't take my piece in the club and I can't leave it in my ride and then hand my keys to the valet troll, so the fact that a club has mandatory valet parking (meaning you can't walk to the club, you MUST give them your keys), so this is important information. I'll absolutely never let a club scany id, so this is important. Costs are important, some people don't want to pay $50 cover charge, and perhaps others like a high cover charge as that keeps the riff-raff out. Some clubs are making pre-pay for dances the policy. I'd avoid such clubs if possible, so that's important.
Endless ramblings about where the atm is located just make it harder to find the important information. One thing I especially hate is reviewers who say crap like "for the nazis who insist on details, the stage is 38 inches high". If I think a review provides useful information and is readable I'll approve it even though I think the reviewer is a dick.
I’m not a big fan of someone writing “This place has been described many times, so I won’t bother.” The problem is that if a whole string of reviewers say that, I might have to scroll back through 10 or 15 reviews to find something useful. That said, I’m not saying I want bullshit descriptions or the wall decor or whether the men’s room is on the right or the left, just anything unusual or noteworthy that would help someone who’s never been to the club.
Also, each review should try to stand on its own and not require that a reader flip through a bunch of reviews to get information. I mean, I think we're talking about 3 to 5 sentences here. It's not a heavy lift.
If everyone skips describing the basic feel of the the club, then nobody is describing the basic feel of the club.
Ish, this is where I definitely part ways with many of you. Having each review re-hash the same things, over and over, makes the reviews more ponderous and makes it slower to get info, not faster. There's no such thing as a guy going into the reviews, reading a single review, and saying "ah, this is the club for me". Everyone reads a bunch of reviews, and then skims a whole bunch more, so it's never necessary any review stand on its own. In short, not only is it not true that "no one wants to read a bunch of reviews", in fact everyone DOES want to read a bunch of reviews before committing to a club, that's humans read reviews, we all know one reviewer could be biased a certain way. And as a practical matter, we're not going to get a dozen reviews without a single one that describes the interior (as if most of us can't figure out the interior when we get there anyway -- only thing actually useful is anything special about the layout "the booths in the back are where you can get extras" etc).
In short, if you want to make things most efficient for the VIPs who are reading reviews to make a decision, reviews don't need to stand on their own since they'll always read a bunch. By-rote interior layout is about as useless info as you can get, except to verify that you were actually there, but there's other ways to verify that too.
