Solid Gold has closed its doors

I am surprised it lasted as long as it did. I understood this to be the successor to the original Solid Gold and its sister club Pure Platinum. I had favorably reviewed both, but this iteration was never able to match the success of either. It consistently failed in both quantity and quality of women, despite the luxe physical facility. For my money, Cheetah's Pompano Beach is the best bet for an experience that Solid Gold failed to deliver.

This is also an example of why Follie's in Atlanta is done and gone forever.

2019 we visited S FL we went to SG, he got OTC from NJ girl who showed up at condo after the club closed.

Too bad, they had a good run, but in the end the game changed and they couldn’t keep up.

@ twentyfive

This sucks because it was on my list of 5 clubs to visit. I'm down to 4 now.

Based on reviews it appears a decline in service was becoming normal. Did something happen with the laws in Florida to drive this place out of business?

^ this club got hammered by moving to Pompano just before Covid started they opened well, but once forced to close by the pandemic they got hit by a combination of bad luck and as a result they never regained traction with that important late afternoon crowd, which, is why they were not able to regain their footing. I think they reopened much later than most of the other Broward County clubs definitely later than the other Pompano clubs as a result they lost many of their girls and without a decent dayshift in this area it’s tough to compete.

@gammanu what does Solid Gold have to do with Follies?

No idea why they didn't do better but they never in my visits had more than a couple girls, didn't have $10 dances AFAIK, downgraded their lunch offerings, and kept annoying bartenders on staff.

By the way. why do they have a TG looking thing in the lower right picture of their IG? Gross

Hate to see another club closing, but I’m not surprised to hear this. I wanted to like Solid Gold Pompano but there were never any girls or customers whenever I visited.

I don’t know the business model, but I would assume Ownership tried to sell the license and location prior to closing their doors. This building has always been a strip club (as far as I can remember). Prior to Solid Gold it was Lions Den. And prior to that it was another strip club whose name escapes me.

Maybe its just a bad location, hidden back in an industrial area and not on a main thoroughfare.

That sucks. I never really liked that place, but that's two clubs down in the area this last year. Gold Club and Solid Gold.

I think they priced themselves out and tried to be too fancy. Besides the name, the thing other both of those clubs had in common was that they didn't do $10 table dances. And Solid Gold also charged $30 for lap dances. Between the gowns and the prices, I just almost never had any fun over there. The few times I did have a good time, it was cause I went to see a bartender or dancer from another club that started working there. Pompano is not Miami, or even Ft Lauderdale and certainly not Palm Beach, I don't see demand for that fancy shit.

Or maybe there just isn't enough demand to keep all those clubs alive in the area. I suppose the location didn't help, but I really couldn't care less about that. It's not like it was super sketchy, just a little out of the way. And I'm willing to go out of my way a bit for a good club. I drive twice as far to go to the Cheetah in Pompano vs the one in Palm Beach, because Pompano is 10x better.

As far as the comparison to Follies, like Follies Solid gold was forced to close by Oakland Park, the city was in originally. They fought it from the day it opened I think, and eventually won.

In any case, I sorta expect someone will buy/lease the assets and try again. Although, it is near the area they're trying hard to clean up, so maybe the city won't allow transfer of the license or at least make it too difficult for someone else.

Sure ain't no dive. That is a palace.
