I had such hopes

You've got Syn, Allure, Onyx and Platinum all recently opening/reopening during the last few months and none of them seem to be succeeding. There are just not enough dancers looking for work in Atlanta. Especially white ones. They all announce opening time of noon but are lucky to get anything going by 3PM. Where have the dancers gone? I think they have taken vanilla jobs or moved to other areas of the country where dances prices, etc are higher.
I've also noted the none of the chains like RCI and Deja VU have tried to open in Atlanta. there probably don't see a good investment potential since Atlanta has a moratorium on new clubs due to the high late at night crime rate and the many black make it rain clubs. Also Atlanta clubs can't open on Sunday because the police department claims they do not have enough officers to cover it.

6 pm Friday one dancer ……..there more that that at tattletale during the week early day shift

@shadowcat Pink Pony and Pin Ups are open Sunday.

I was there Thursday evening. It wasn’t super busy but there were some good girls and some customers. They said it was night shift only now to keep quality up. I don’t know the new hours but they might have just opened. They told me Wednesday night had been very busy. I’ve been meaning to write a review but I was mainly checking it out after having spent most of my budget at Tattletales. I knew a lot of the people from Fannies.

Yes they are and there are 3 or 4 other clubs open on Sunday but they are all outside of the Atlanta city limits.

If the DA and politicos say "crime" the public will just accept it. The crime rate in ATL is a fraction of the issue it is with other cities and is more likely to get worse if they delegitimize the strip clubs, taking away a legal source of income, than it is to get better. I think local city councils are trying to look moral and are tired of the city being know for strip clubs.

Also after COVID and Follies closed ATL was never the same, and Follies closure and the persecution of all the clubs on the Southside and all the clubs on Fulton Industrial caused the dancers to leave town or stop stripping. Higher dances prices are even a misnomer alot of these clubs take a piece of every dance and VIP, after tip out and house fees many of these dancers are making about the same per dance they would here.

I know they have stopped day shift on Saturday. The bartender said there were more dancers early in the day, but they left by 5. FWIW I drove to Pink Pony on the way home. At about 645 all parking was full, including valet. There was a line out the door. I could not get in.

This club has its own special problem with the city. They can't get a permit to have any signage, even a banner on the wall. How many other businesses does the city forbit from putting a sign on their building? Sounds like a tactic to "allow" the club but make it fail.
