2001 Odyssey acquires Mons Venus to carry on strip club legacy in Tampa

No paywall: archive.today

2001 acquired the business but not the building. Original owner will be landlord. Updates will be made to the club. All of this was done to prevent an out of town buyer from scooping it up. . Sounds like positive changes 👍

Best news: bathrooms will now have doors.

Ouch. Who'd a thunk it.

I'm curious to see what changes are made. I only visited this club very briefly once.

I miss the old Mons from last century. When they hired a dancer, they weighed her. Each dancer had to weigh in before each shift. If they didn't make weight, they got sent home. When it was a lap dance factory with 9/10s as dancers and no extras it was fucking amazing.

@motorhead It never ceases to amaze me how little effort some otherwise good clubs put into their restroom facilities. I've seen half-baths in nice homes that were larger than some club restrooms, which is crazy when you think about the fact that 5+ patrons might be trying to utilize a club bathroom at any given time on a busy night! And if it's just not crowded enough having to navigate through half a dozen customers in a restroom the size of a broom closet, a restroom attendant can make things even more challenging...lol

This is old news (see my Jan 2025 review). There's been some tweaks, still a work in progress, mostly for the better. Don't expect a return to the good ole' days soon ($20/dance lap factory, many 9's 10's). Dancer pool today is different, what with explosion of inks/piercings, more hot babes turning to webcams, more club options diluting dancer pool. There are some hot babes still, just not as prevalent.

Me and a buddy on our spring training baseball trip went to Mons in March 2020 - right before the pandemic. There were 2 or 3 9/10s working. I was intrigued but we had to catch a flight and could only stay about 45 minutes. I get it. Some of the hottest dancers I’ve seen.

I went there three times in Dec 2013 and also Dec 2014. lots of hotties!!!
