Shitty local clubs that you check in on every now and then

Do they ever get better? Or is it "Nope, still sucks"
What the time interval where you'll give it another go?
It's funny some of the places just don't seem to change, some guys on here think a month old review is out of date. And on the other hand you have the playhouse guys saying not only has it been the same deal for the last 30 years, it's literally the same strippers.

The interval really depends. It tend to be kinda decaying interval from when the last time I had a good experience, but it's also influenced by how well the other more reliable clubs are doing. For example, if I go into a club and stumble into a great stripper I might go back in a week or two. If she's not there again, It'll be a month or two before I go back. If I strike out again, it might be 6 months before I'm back. But if I had a good time again on that 2nd visit, I'd probably keep rolling the dice a 3rd or more consecutive weeks till I lost.
I guess that really only applies to clubs with nearby nearby though. Other places that aren't great, but aren't within 5 minutes of reliable options, I don't bother with. And I guess it depends why they suck. I almost never go into the place nearby that scan's ID's, because I don't want my ID scanned. It'll take a management/ownership change for me to really consider going again. But I'll check out the place that just rarely has hot chicks from time to time, but doesn't have objectionable management policies.
So, yes, I check in periodically hoping for an improvement that never comes.
One of them recently changed owners and changed names which got my hopes up, but continues to be almost as bad as before. The other two which haven't changed much at all continue their mediocrity.
I check in on them once or twice a year when I am bored but not feeling like driving down to Louisville or Lexington or up to Columbus for better clubs. When I find the rare good dancer at one of them I'll go back several times to see her before she inevitably disappears in a month or two.
None the less I can go and have a decent time without having to fight the downtown traffic.
If it isn't better then I'll forget about it indefinitely.
It can get frustrating though when you go into 6 different crappy clubs in a row and come up empty handed.
If it's reliably bad AND overpriced... not as worth the risk.
That said, I might pop by a Hilton Head club this weekend that meets the latter description. They've had some hotties in their IG stories.
"All it takes is one good stripper inside that crappy club to make your night." Exactly, shailynn.
However, I agree with shailynn "All it takes is one good stripper inside that crappy club to make your night." So true.
I try to hit "good" clubs on about a monthly basis. Anything less doesn't stand any chance of building a rapor, IMO. As others have said, "bad" clubs are on a decay schedule, maybe 6 months, then maybe a year, but never really goes to zero on the dice roll of finding a diamond in the rough.
So basically I guess what I'm saying is +1 to what PAWG_Patrol said too. Cheap + Crappy gets is easily forgiven, Expensive + Crappy much less so.
There's one that is one of those "panning for gold" tupes
About 5 years ago, the club completely pivoted and went urban. It made sense from a business standpoint. This club is sandwiched between two much larger clubs with good kitchens, more girls and easier highway access. They had to do something to differentiate. The only nearby black club had recently closed, so the timing was good, and another died a year later during the pandemic.
From the cars I see in the lot when I pass by, it's obviously working for them. They are packed on weekend nights and also during some Sunday night special events, with some guest DJ or another coming to the club. It's now the only black club in town and they run it more like a party spot than a pure strip club.
But I miss the old Centerfold, with it's collection of girls who were fired from almost every other club, along with its colorful cast of characters. I pop in about once a year for nostalgia reasons (on slow weekday nights lol), but I don't see them ever going back.
PIAS afternoon shift wasn't too bad. No junkies, but definitely some grandmas who should've retired decades ago. The Cuban milfs and $20 lappers made for a decent time.
Worst club I've ever been to is also in Vegas. Club Platinum. Between the senior citizen manager/dancer, the DJ falling asleep mid song, and no touch $20 dances... absolute nightmare. I'd give PIAS another shot but I would never step foot in Platinum again.
I do have a conundrum though. On a whim I stopped in at a shitty club over the summer and discovered an extraordinary dancer. This club, which is very shitty except for the one very good dancer, recently raised prices to an absurd level for the region. I haven't had occasion to return since they raised prices, and I'm still undecided if I'll return at all.
Clubs I'm totally done with: Squires, Glass Slipper, Hurricane Betty's, Cabaret, Alex's.
Mickey's, I always seem to find a good one at a better price than Desire. It's becoming my favorite club in RI.
At the bottom of my list right now is Sugaland, what used to be Greenlight. Thuggery still abounds even though you'd think they'd have learned something from the former manager being shot and killed *in* the club.
Next up is Pussycat Lounge. Nothing at all worthwhile whenever I'm in there. And that's usually been a Friday or Saturday night. If you ain't Hispanic, you don't get much attention unless you wave money around like an idiot.
I admire your willingness to venture out to clubs both good and bad, near and far, recently reviewed and rarely reviewed, etc. You and some others have a spirit of adventure that I'm often lacking! I tend to read reviews meticulously, or stick to recommendations from others, to try to make sure that I'm likely to feel comfortable in a club before I will even give it a try. So I rarely give lousy clubs a chance, let alone a SECOND chance, because I just hate having bad experiences. And I know that if I'd be a bit more adventurous that I'd probably find a diamond in the rough every now and then, but I'm just not very good at roughing it... :)
