What's the strip club m.o. from seasoned veterans?

Forgot to mention. I don't drink. (Just don't like it.) But clubs tend to have drink minimums right?

What are my options there? I feel like I will look like a clown or the club won't like that I'm not buying their expensive drinks? Personally I'd be fine with soda water mixed with lemon juice or perhaps vermouth at the very worst. Thoughts? How do you all handle the buying drinks for girls situation? Only if you like them or already know them?

@Icey thank you. What about hanging out in front of the stage? Is that universally okay?

First off, you need to go to the strip club with expectations befitting the club. Research on here to know which clubs are extra heavy and which ones a just good entertainment and dances. Disappointment occurs when you don't know a club atmosphere.

Try to bring singles with you if possible. Any cash you bring is always the best solution, because ATM in strip clubs are NOTORIOUS for price gouging (like 10 to 20%).

If you are tipping on stage and notice the dancer leaving your spot and focusing on another patron, leave her alone. She is focusing on someone else, so should you.

Extras depend entirely on two things: the club atmosphere and the dancers themselves. Most major strip club chains and locations in the inner city are a bad place to look for extras. Go to clubs in poorer districts or just places that are not mainstream (these clubs are pretty obvious to detect, and this site will help you with those). So many guys are missing out on extras because they just don't 'want to leave their comfort zone'. Typically higher minority clubs are less strict about rules.

I don't live in NYC but my advice should help.

Oh man this dude is going to pay $800 for a 15 minute VIP and the dancer isn’t even going to take her top off.

^ lmao.

Yep. It’s called “The System”

How can you navigate the fasthouse scene, but not be able to figure out strip clubs?

Pay for VIP on tuscl. It’s what $8 a month or something stupidly cheap? Read reviews of the clubs near you. Ask your questions after you’ve educated yourself a bit and maybe gone to a few clubs. You know, after you’ve educated yourself turn 21.

I agree with all the comments posted so far. As for this from the OP:

"I don't drink. (Just don't like it.) But clubs tend to have drink minimums right? What are my options there? I feel like I will look like a clown or the club won't like that I'm not buying their expensive drinks."

I gave up drinking in 1992 -- not that I had a problem with it, I just didn't like it either. FYI, all I ever buy in SCs is bottled water, and nobody bats an eye.

If you think about it, I am buying expensive drinks, since they often buy cases of cheap bottled water at about 10 cents a bottle and sell them to customers for as much as $10 (and sometimes more) -- a helluva mark-up for the club. Even though I can usually nurse one long enough not to have to buy a second if there's a two-drink minimum, it's still not much of a bargain for me. To me, it's just part of the drill of visiting a strip club, like the cost of parking, cover, VIP wrist-band, etc.

But yeah, nobody thinks I'm a clown for drinking water in the club. They might think that for other reasons, but that's a discussion for a different time. 😁

It's good to bring singles. Getting them isn't a problem at most clubs, but sometimes it is. You like the dancers or you don't, no real hacks for that. My best visits have always been due to one stand-out dancer. It's makes it much harder if the urge for strange comes strong and fast to you. The main issue with the club is how much they limit contact/extras. You will run into some clubs that target PLs with a sub 90 IQ who somehow have money anyway.
