Pittsburgh Clubs

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
I have a trip to Pittsburgh planned and was wondering about the clubs. I don’t see it mentioned here much. But I still have wet dreams thinking about Jennifer Beals in “Flashdance”.
Looking at reviews, they have several somewhat high end chain clubs - but Pittsburgh seems like a town that should be filled with down and dirty dive clubs.

I don't know how much extras are going to be in Pittsburgh. Last I remember the big clubs there were monitored. Talent wise probably the best you'll find are at Spearmint Rhino and Cheerleaders. Maybe Rick's too. You also got the Filly Corral out in the suburbs.
More laid back kind of neighborhood hangout spot with GND types maybe give Tennyson Lodge a shot. No cameras in those booths but I don't know how many girls get down there.
Controversy, stunk when I went but I heard you can maybe get extras there. Cricket, slow. And the hip hop rapstar clubs in town are in Mckees Rocks, True Diamonds and Club Erotica.
If you want a definite down and dirty club, you got Fantasy's in West Virginia not too far from there, probably like 45 minutes or so east of Pittsburgh. The dancers there are very open about the experiences there, as soon as I walked in they told me "Oh we fuck here" Maybe not the best lineup but the time I went I found a baby stripper gem had a pretty good time with. Maybe you get lucky.
Alot of the clubs outside the city were so damn slow on what should be primetime nights, I kept seeing that shit, like 2 or 3 dancers. Stilettos, Beemers, Hideout (didn't even bother going in with two cars in the parking lot on a friday night) and Lakeside lounge. Beehive Bar is closed for good.
Breakfast hit Don's and get a Wet Judy. Don makes all the food himself.
@motor, as with most things it depends. If you are talking the CBD... the rick's or whatever it is these days is super convenient but over price and kind of touristy. Mileage was (historically before rick's) ok hand roaming but I never got Follies treatment there. Cheerleaders is only a short cab ride away in the strip district. Mandatory valet and smoking allowed. Stage inside the bar moat. Not my scene. Theoretically a little better vale and maybe a little better mileage but again never got Follied there. My recollection (which is fallible) is a lot of the better looking dancers from other clubs are ending up at Cheerleaders, but might be some GPS here too. The McKees Rocks area is a drug deal gang banger paradise. Haven't been there in years not want to end up dead. Whatever Silky's turned into is as divey as they come. I tend to agree with you comment that most PIT clubs are tying to be high end. Personally I usually stick to the clubs further out like the Filly (or even Beemers if you don't mind the smoke, and locals only vibe, and is pretty divey IMO) but they are easily 30 mins out from the CBD. Allegheny county is pretty blue so I'm guessing pretty regulated and watched. IMO... you got to get out into a MAGA county for more leniency. The local economy hasn't help any. Where I tend to club prices haven't changed much, but mileage per dollar is definitely way down.
Pittsburgh is the only city I can think of where you could be looking over somewhere and think to yourself, “Wait how the fuck do I get over there”
The last time I was there I ended up at Stiletto’s for a fairly meh experience. You can read my review at: https://tuscl.net/review/402832
One thing to watch for is that many of the clubs seem to keep different hours than what is listed here. I tried going to Fantasy’s one night and it is literally in Wide Spot In The Road, WV, and when I arrived there it wasn’t open, so call ahead.
If you’re itching to do so - Cheerleaders is a decent trip - as for you Motörhead - think about it as the Coliseum but you’re not getting the service you got at the Coliseum in the back and the girls aren’t as hot, but still usually solid. I’ve gotten some really liberal lapdances there over the years but they are not the norm and you’re in a lapdance “area” not your own private booth or room.
Some people say Filly Coral which is a good 40+ minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. It’s a nude club, usually decent looking talent but horrible mileage on lapdances and dancers will not sit and chat with customers - it’s a weird place. A lot of guys think paying out the wazoo to go into a private room and best off in the corner by yourself while you watch a dancer touch herself is high mileage. These saps have never been to Detroit.
I used to have a lot of fun at Ricks downtown before it was Ricks. Haven’t been there since it became “Ricks” so can’t comment on it now. It can get horribly crowded after a sporting event as it’s a small place.
McKees Rocks clubs are close to downtown but not good and some of the others mentioned are so far from downtown and spread out that no worth it - if driving or ubering.
"Pittsburgh is the only city I can think of where you could be looking over somewhere and think to yourself, “Wait how the fuck do I get over there”"
= Very true.
I am admittedly not much of a "city" driver but I seem to always end up totally lost and no where near my intended destination (even with Garmin) whenever I go to downtown Pittsburgh.
@Capthfun: good info. thanks
