Bottom 25 Strip Clubs

I've only been to 1 on your list (Jaguars, Harlingen , TX). The 2010 visits weren't bad, I guess a lot can change in 6 yrs.(RE- your 2016 visit). My real bad ones go back to the 80's and 90's prior to joining Tuscl. Some standouts include any club in Newport KY, Dream Palace, Tempe AZ.

I heard at Camelot in DC the girls are quite attractive. Is the issue that it is known as air dance city or something?

I'm also surprised near Tex Mex border would be that bad for you. Heard it is rather high mileage down there lol.

Damn Sinclair I was just at a couple of those last weekend. You know it's tough some places have hot girls, with SHIT rules and some have no girls I'm interested at all in which case I just leave. The ones where I try to play and they then fuck with me, those are the ones I sort of take personally. But I try to brain dump all the shit clubs, because if nothing else is gained, at least crossed places off.

Club 21 in Washington Heights, Manhattan. Uptown. Just some bar with dancers. I bought 1 $20 dance, they pull out a chair in the back and the bouncer literally stands right next to us while I get this dance, the bar and everything is right behind me. I felt personally attacked.

The rules in Alberta make all the clubs terrible. No way around it.

One place AJ's in San Jose, there's like another stage in the club, well lit, and you get up on the chair to get airdances. Basically the club has full view of you getting ripped off.

Pharaohs in Buffalo. It was during Covid the head security dude was HUGE dickhead. I had my mask down around my mouth and he kept yelling at me. I asked about military discount coming in he shook his head and rolled his eyes. It's just a question dude, no is fine. Then I'm getting dances at this place, WAIT no touching at all. Another security dude comes in to break up the fun. You know me touching hips. God forbid.

All mormon territory, mountain west most cases are pretty shitty. A couple in Boise Spearmint, Torch 2 just getting stared down during dances. Club 91 in Pocatello getting dances right behind the DJ's. Who thinks of this shit?

I actually like San Francisco strip clubs but a couple were real bad. Roaring 20's I whipped out my phone to check a baseball score. And the dancer dancing on stage started yelling at me, the DJ stopped the music are started yelling NO PHONES, NO PHONES like there was a fire going on. Then the bouncers asked me to show them my photos in my phone. No problem I'll do that I ain't got nothing but I was like yo fuck this place. But at least TELL ME, no phones before hand, shit. There's a bunch of clubs all right there, so I just hit the next one. Then Mitchell Bros. I just got accosted by ancient strippers the whole time, super aggressive. I couldn't take it anymore, all hustle.

Anything in Chicago proper is truly awful. Some of the hardest policed clubs anywhere. And the irony is, it's in a completely lawless city. The suburban clubs just outside ain't terrible though imo.

And yeah blue moon in Phoenix was pretty bad, you just get ambushed by door vultures and that's it really.

There's so many, I forgot a lot, I try to bounce before I try to burn money if I recognize it's gonna be a bad time. As rule most clubs aren't that good in my opinion. My ratings for awhile were all fucked up because I usually rate the place as the physical building, I didn't really incorporate the rules in that, I threw that in the value rating. And the girls, an average lineup was based on the girls number scale not the tuscl number scale. So average, below average was like 6 or 7 the average of the lineup instead of 5 is average like I do now. A girl that's a 5 you probably wouldn't want to fuck but here I guess that's average so for awhile my scores were all pretty high.

And another one it's like on here, idk why but Cheetah's Hallandale. Shoulder to shoulder. All full of ghetto fuckheads. The parking lot was like a fast and the furious get together. Yeah hell no.

Man I’ve been to so many shitty clubs I wouldn’t even know where to start.

This one sticks out to me the most:

Hi-way Playground - Yukon PA. I don’t recall them having alcohol and the inside looked like it was under construction, but they just gave up and went ahead and ran it although the building was only 60% complete. You entered through an adult bookstore that had like 4 magazines and 5 DVDs on the shelf. I met a few hot dancers there before but even they couldn’t get me to shake the total loser feeling leaving that club. I got lapdances one time and you went into a room with a sheet over a couch, and the dancer played a CD on a mini boom box that kept skipping the song, probably because there was a booger on the CD. You’re on another level of PL if you even enter this club. I haven’t been there since probably 2008 but it doesn’t matter since it burnt down in 2018.

Hey their website is still active - I think SJG designed it while at the library.

hiwayplayground.com

Sportsman's Inn in Providence, RI. It was the elephant graveyard for Rhode Island dancers.

Closed now, thankfully.

I would have to second Hi-way Playground - Yukon PA. Just awful. It has since closed.

Of Sinclair's list, I've only been to Camelot in DC, and that was probably in another century. I think I never had a good experience there, but it was a five minute walk from the Mayflower Hotel, so I kept going back.

I think my vote for worst is a now defunct club somewhere around Plover Wisconsin. I can't remember the name, but I do remember an extremely irate bouncer barging in to the only lap dance I bought there because the back of my hand had brushed the dancer's butt.

The HI-WAY PLAYGROUND of Yukon PA????

Hee, hee, HEE, HAW, HAW HAW!

I used to drive past that little hell hole all the time, and for a very good reason.🤣

Worst club I ever visited was Pleasers on Bluff Rd, Columbia SC. 300lb black girl with a ton of tats but not so many teeth. 2 guys sitting stage side sticking $1 bills into her pussy.

Camelot is more a victim of strict DC rules. The girls there have been super hot, consistently for decades. DC has since loosened up on the rules. It has dances and VIP now where it used to be strictly no touch, but all the lap and VIP options are super expensive. Club in this city because you have to, not because you want to. I may actually be there tomorrow. Lol

There was a club in the suburb of Portland which was just a dumb stupid experience. Not much to the club, except for a round elevated platform with plexiglass around the circumference. At each chair location were two large holes in the plexiglass. Several dancers would get on stage and dance totally nude for about a minute, then sit at one of the locations with their legs through the holes in the plexiglass. Guys would throw tips over the plexiglass, sit in a chair and the dancer would press her pussy against the plexiglass. Guys could then "eat her pussy" while she kicked her legs. But there was no touching the legs.

I’ve been to six of those clubs on Sinclair’s worst 25 list.

Blue Moon Lounge was totally solid in my experience though admittedly not your typical SC set up.

The worst clubs are the ones where it’s virtually impossible to have fun - like in Salt Lake City, but I won’t even mention clubs like that.

Nastiest club I’ve ever been to is Pleasure Palace in Brooklyn, IL - east of St. Louis. Don’t get me wrong, I had fun there more than once but it’s a different level of low quality in every category imaginable.

Although many are now closed, in the past the Cleveland/Akron area had more than enough strip clubs to make the bottom 25. Present day, there are still close to 10 candidates that come to mind.

The Candy Factory in Compton, IL is on your list. The actual location is shown on Google Maps as Twelve Mile Corner. I recall going there when it was Heartbreakers. I got a buddy of mine from my high school days who lives in Waterman, although historically, he lived in DeKalb. All I'll say is of all the strip clubs in that general area, that was the one we never went to, mostly because the one time I went, it was just too weird.

I haven't had the pleasure (?) of being to many of these on the OP list, but I can see rating Camelot (DC) low, it's disappointing.

My worst would be the Main Event in Buena Vista NJ. I was there on a weekday afternoon a couple years ago. Minimum 2 drink with only the fat ugly bartender dancing. Was definitely the worst.

Only one I've been to is Rhonda's in STL. I'd call it quirky. There just isn't much going on in the city limits. I did end up making at the bar with a tall slender AA dancer, so it wasn't a total loss. Cigarette smoke was the worst part. Club XO in Linden NJ and Exscape north of Baltimore are horrible

Any club where I don't get laid is on my worst list. My standards are high, which is one reason why my dick gets wet a lot.

I have been to V-Jahs on the list. No idea how a club dedicated to extras and near a casino can be considered bad.

Hi-Way Playground in Yukon, PA, was among my earliest strip club experiences. Sure, it was a dump, but the girls did some nasty (in a good way) shows. Those were there good 'old days of Western PA clubs. More than one club in the Pittsburgh region had plywood throughout, but it was all part of the charm.

And then there was Climax...known for its drive-through shows.

The worst club I've ever been to is a pit called Keeders Show Bar in Jackson, Michigan, which I visited several years ago. I walked in, looked around, considered turning around but somehow didn't. It's kind of a shabby place, dingy and gloomy. There was a shiny new digital jukebox on the wall that seemed out of place.

The woman at the bar fetched me a warm can of Budweiser, and I swiveled my barstool to face the empty stage. That's when a very pregnant young lady approached and said hi, placing herself between my knees, pushing her very swollen belly against me. IIRC, she was actually not bad looking, but I definitely remember desperately hoping her water wouldn't break. I couldn't bring myself to tell her to get lost, but I'm sure I was giving off uncomfortable vibes.

There was only one other patron in the place, a very large, sloppy old guy sitting at a table, talking to a matronly, pear-shaped older woman, who I figured was the house mom. Nope. After a few minutes she went to the jukebox, selected some songs, and got on stage to dance.

That's when I noticed another woman at the end of the bar. She looked ancient, and reminded me vaguely of Popeye. Maybe she was Popeye's grandmother. She kept looking my way and smiling, and eventually she stubbed out her cigarette, sauntered over to me and my pregnant visitor, and let me know that she would be happy to join the two of us in the back room "for some fun." I'm proud to say I managed to keep my lunch down.

The pregnant dancer told her to go away, and she did. Then preggers seductively suggested to me that we could do some dances. Since I didn't feel like delivering a baby, I declined, said I had to be going, and quickly walked out of that weird place into the real world.

Sometimes I think about going back to Jackson for a visit just to make sure I didn't imagine the whole place.

@JackKingov

Sometimes I'll find myself near a random club somewhere, and maybe it doesn't look all that great from the outside, or the reviews are bad, but then I would ask myself "what's the worst that could happen if I went in"?

Well, the worst case scenarios that would usually flash through my mind whenever I posed that question to myself are probably pretty close to what you experienced on that day. So then my mind would go back and forth, over and over. Do I take a chance, knowing it could be really, really bad, just for that 1 in 200 chance that I might find a diamond in the rough and have a great time?

But I was never really very bold, so I pretty much always chickened out. Kudos to you for having the courage to go in and give it a shot! Whether you were there for 10 minutes, or however long it was, you gave it a try, and at least got an interesting story to tell...

Suzy's Lounge isn't bad, if you see it for what it is, which is a hangout bar which happens to have dancers.

Of course, many of the dancers there now may have been there during your past review(s), as well. Related to this, for those of you who wish to refer to the Playhouse Lounge girls as elderly, I suggest you compare them to the Suzy's girls, and then the PL girls will look like young hotties (despite the PL girls being younger than the Suzy's girls....who most certainly haven't aged well).

I find it hilarious (in a sad, tragic way) that IL shows up this much on the list. Yeah, it's true. I think Cellar is overrated on your list :), but I'm surprised so many Washington Park places show up. I've always heard Washington Park was great (maybe not Detroit/Suburbs great).
