ROB Onyx

Maxfish
Been doing this 20+ years. We all have been ripped off here and there. You drink a little bit too much and sometimes you drop your guard. Happened to me at Onyx yesterday. Dancer was very nice and gave very good dances. Wanted to charge me $360! I had already established at the beginning that they were $10 a dance. I was actually going to give her a nice tip because the dances were so good. I asked her if she realized she was charging me for 36 dances and she said yes. Not even humanly possible! I’ve never even come close to doing that many. Anyway, really didn’t have a leg to stand on as she was already making a scene. I don’t need no trouble. I will out her here though. She is a light-skinned AA going by the name Katrina. Stay away.

    @Maxfish, thanks for the warning.

    Just curious -- How many dances did *you* think you had done with her? (BTW, if dances were 3 minutes long, 36 would have been more than an hour and a half.)

    I can't imagine Jimi, Byron or Dan taking the dancers side in this dispute. I wouldn't have paid it. They're not going to call the cops.

    I’m cool with Terrance. I agree there’s zero way they would’ve backed the dancer.

    I went a few weeks ag and they were honest but we had to count songs. Honestly the “songs” all ran together and I am glad the dancer was someone I already knew. Allure girls are migrating over there but I have no idea why Allure wasn’t more popular. It never took off but was nice and I don’t like the feel of Onyx.

    I heard the O Atlanta was shutting down and the managers move to Onyx.

    Is that what happened?

    Sort of. They’re open as Allure at night and late afternoon. It’s dead until 10 or so but the it’s a mixed club at night not a rap party scene. Some people moved on but they haven’t given up.

    Could be the same girl who robbed me at Diamonds. I’ve seen her at Onyxx but stay away, I need to check what name she goes by

    I’m not 100% sure, but she may have gone by the name of Aura at Allure/Oasis.

    36 dances would take like 2 hours! How long had you been there?

    "Anyway, really didn’t have a leg to stand on as she was already making a scene."

    You mean a leg to stand on other than being able to tell time and do math?

    So how much did you pay - the full $360?

    I'm not sure what to think - Unless there are a couple Katrinas, something seems amiss. As goldmonger points out, 36 songs would be some 2 hours of dancing, which even a casually observing for manager would have been able to verify.

    If she's the same Katrina, my experience was quite different. First, she's has been around a long time. Originally at Follies, she took some time away, and apparently came back to Allure, and now at Onyx. At Follies, I had dances from her some dozen times, plus a couple VIPs. Never a problem.

    When I saw her at Onyx, and she recognized me. After some catching up, we adjourned to one of the side couches. As she started dancing, she said she would let me know when we got to four. Cool, and when we got to four, I confirmed with her. We were in agreement.

    High mileage too, so at least in my case, an overall good experience.

    Definitely not two hours worth of dances. It was hard to keep track, but I estimate 12 to 15. I was prepared to pay her $200 because she did sit with me for a bit as well. She also got a couple of drinks out of it. Alcohol and a pretty woman can really cloud the mind.

    Should be simple to solve. If they have cameras or a LD area monitor, they can see when you went in and out.

    ...but wallanon stated it much better than me.

    Is $10/dance typical for Atlanta? We’re paying $25 or $30 in Florida.

    ^ yes $10 is typical for Atlanta. A few black clubs as low as $5. 1 or 2 clubs getting $20 later in the day/evening.

    iknowbetter - There's an apples and oranges issue here. The $25/$30 dances in SFL are in semi-secluded couches, which Atlanta doesn't really have. $10 Atlanta dances are table/bar-side or couches on the main floor. While good, the $10 dances in the Pompano triangle clubs, plus Cheetah Hallandale, also compare favorably. Especially Cheetah Hallandale - it's hand-down (the pants) my fav.

    Yep, Katrina. Saw her Friday, let her give the spiel to make sure it was her. She did 2 and charged for 5 at Diamonds, never again, like The Cat says, I don’t think the management would allow it here
