La Pearl/OSC and Ebony Inn

I’ve been to Ebony Inn once, on a Saturday afternoon. I was passing through and made a pit stop. I’m not one to make a trip just for that, but if that’s something you do then yes make the trip. Otherwise definitely stop by if you’re in the area. I hope to make my way there again. I was in the area earlier this year but just too tired to make the detour.

Slight edge to Ebony Inn. Even though experiences are similar, in that they both have good grinds for little money, La Pearl is a bar, while Ebony Inn is a large room with chairs in which girls give lap dances. There is also a bar at Ebony Inn, but it's separated from the dance areas. Girls can hang out at the bar with you, but can't dance at the bar.

One key difference is drink prices. Ebony Inn charges $14 for mixed drinks and shots, while they are under $10 at La Pearl. Domestic beer is $5 at LP and $6 at EI.

You have more room to spread out at Ebony Inn, and don't need to fight for the coveted few good spots as you do at LP.

There are far more girls at Ebony Inn.

Is it worth the extra drive to EI, as you're ultimately going to bust one way or another? Perhaps not. But, it's a good alternative if you get bored at LP.

Both are similar, in that they are ratchet clubs (based on interior upkeep, not behaviors of girls/customers, as people are cool at both).

Good comments above.

"So, as a Philly guy who definitely enjoys the La Pearl/OSC experience…. " You didn't tell us what you enjoy about that, but having been to both places multiple times, I will tell you that in general, La Pearl/OSC offers much higher mileage than Ebony Inn.

If you happen to be in the DC area, yeah, it's worth visiting Ebony Inn (it's definitely one-of-a-kind). However, IMHO, if extras are important to you, it would not be worth a special drive from Philly.

Appreciate the info from all. The OSC/La Pearl experience I enjoy is the the long form $10 floor dances with much roaming. Extras there, while available, are either a little too public for me ($20 room at Purple Orchid is lot more private) or take place in areas that are basically dirty storerooms, and occasional toilets when dancers piss in the trash can after performing a private dance.

Been to both places and agree totally with funonthesides summary. Also, Ebony Inn square footage is quite a bit more overall. EI used to make you leave your phone at the check in desk. Not sure if that’s changed. I think the music at OSC is played at a more comfortable volume. Also Pearl closes at 8-9 pm whereas EI stays open late

Are extras a thing at EI like they are at LP? Like if you don't get laid at LP its borderline astonishing
