Opening Day brought out the Stars
I wanted to experience the hype of Tigers Opening Day at a Strip Club. I chose Penthouse. They seem to have the best selection of beautiful girls on day shift. (Note: I have been disappointed more often on the night shift.) I arrived about 12:45. They had two girls on stage each doing a 4 song rotation. So a new girl up every 2 songs. But as the afternoon went along, the number of girls increased substantially. Soon a new girl was on stage every song. I like to check the out a full rotation before asking a dancer to stop by for a drink and a dance. The advantage of arriving early is there are not allot of customers. So it is easier getting the attention of a beautiful dancer. By 3 pm, there we allot dancers, but they were being snapped up on stage wtih customers asking for company once they were off stage. Being opening day, I saw a number of long term dancers working. It seemed all the hot girls wanted to work on this busy day. I never saw as many 9s and 10s at Penthouse before. I was so pleased. I love the elegant model look. I saw two that caught my eye. Annalise had long legs and a very dark tan that day. Just so beautiful. I also appreciated the beauty of Kimmie. She looks like a beautiful fashion model to me. I was only looking for dances. They both deliver a fun time upstairs (dances only). Nice thing about day shift is there is no cover. There is an $8 valet fee, $10 with tip. Also it is expected to tip the bouncer showing you the booth for your dances. On opening day, I enjoyed the food and drink specials. Beers are about $9. Sandwishes were $10 to $13. I loved their hot dogs. They are not normally offered. I left a happy customer since I got to see so many beautiful dancers.

PHC Detroit
Besides the Hustler Club in its early days, this is the first time I've been to an upper tier club in MI. Many say Penthouse is the best, but I don't know if I agree. It is a nice club. It is a luxury club. My buddy and I arrived around 11:45 on a Friday night. There is mandatory valet with a $15-$16 entrance fee. There is probably a mandatory coat check, but we're pros (read cheapskates), so we left our coats in the car. We stepped into a crowded club. It was literally standing room only with a bunch of large goons in suits telling us we had to move and couldn't stand around. Where the hell are we supposed to stand? We walked to the bar upstairs in search of a spot, but the upstairs level was more crowded than the lower level. Smoking is allowed at the upstairs bar and the whole club is noticeably filled with smoke. That said, they sell fancy cigars with a bunch of well known labels. I don't know what the prices were for the cigars. Besides being allowed to smoke, I don't know if there is a difference between the upstairs bar and the downstairs bar. The crowd was packed so tight upstairs, I didn't really notice the bar. A handful of dancers were hustling/smoking at the upstairs bar. The VIP rooms are also upstairs. I don't know if they have VIP areas on the lower level of the club. I caught a quick glimpse of the VIP rooms. They looked like they were fabric walled cabanas . . . like a lawn tent. I didn't get any VIP dances, so I'm not certain if all the rooms are like the one I saw. After a brief stay upstairs we headed back down to the main floor. A booth opened up at the bottom of the stairs and I engaged one of the goons to secure a spot. I shelled out $20 to sit in a booth. I don't know if there are different tier seating prices or if there are free places to sit. The booth we sat in was a crescent-shaped couch with table facing the stage--meaning, we could only sit facing the stage and could not change our seating positions. The booth was too far from the stage (I like to throw singles) and it was poorly positioned to the action in the rest of the club. At least the night I was in attendance, the club has a prescribed flow for the dancers. Dancers enter the stage from upstairs by walking down stairs onto the runway. The runway had two dancers at all times dancing in prescribed areas of the runway for one or two songs. At the end of the runway opposite the runway stairs, there is a pole. This is the first area a dancer enters when getting up on stage. The dancer does a bikini dance around the pole. Most dancers didn't lose the top until they moved to the next area of the runway near the runway stairs. Our booth was near the pole and it was difficult trying to see the tatas at the far end of the stage. From the stage, the dancers move onto what looked like the top portion of the booths on the main floor to perform for the customers sitting at tables behind our booth. Tables are a level up from the booths and I don't know how much it cost to sit there. At any rate, I was incredibly disappointed I had topless women dancing over my head, but couldn't see them based on the shitty ergonomics of the booth. From the booths, the dancers move to dancing on top of the downstairs bar. If I had my pick, I think I would want to sit at the downstairs bar or the end of the stage where the dancers enter. The guy in the booth next to us was smoking a hookah provided by the club and eating what appeared to be filet with lobster tail. My buddy said the club is known for its chef and the food is good. I try not to use the bathrooms at any of the clubs to avoid the bathroom troll. My buddy used it, but I failed to ask if he had to deal with any nonsense in the bathroom. The crowd was diverse but more affluent looking. There are a good number of overseas auto suppliers near Penthouse (Southfield area) and a good portion of the crowd looked to be the overseas executives of said suppliers. Dancer quality was good. They had all types and colors. I noted Asian girls, black girls, Southern Europeans, Russians, white milfs, white emo/punk/tat girls, and white girl next door looking girls. I would say majority were white girls in the age range of 18-26. Most were natural with a handful of fake titties. I was only approached by two dancers trying to hustle some VIP time. I am aware extras exist here; do your diligence and negotiate. I wasn't interested, because I knew I wasn't going to get the prices I wanted at a club like that. Everyone's mileage varies. My buddy fell in love, but was happy I restrained him from a trip to the VIP. We stayed for a couple hours and threw some dollars. I think I had two bottles of domestic at $9/bottle. Not cheap. There is a shot girl following the dancers to accost suckers if a dancer tries to hustle. We briefly checked out the upstairs bar before leaving. Still very crowded. Lots of smokers. When we walked downstairs to leave, there was a special effects show on stage with lights, smoke, and girls on motorcycles. $8 valet charge; I think my buddy gave the dude $10. This is a luxury club. I am not a luxury person. Too much money for bells and whistles I don't want to pay for. I'm happy I went to check it out. It is a really nice club with good looking girls, but I'd prefer to go to the blue collar dives in the area.

Tuesday afternoon - nice!
Stopped in Tuesday afternoon, around 6:30 pm. Got a table side small table. Both dancers on stage were quite nice, blonde with big tits... my favorite. Decided to go upstairs and smoke after they left the stage. Probably around 6:55 pm, the DJ called for review so I was looking forward to seeing all the girls on the stage to get a good sense of what kind of talent was available. Out of nowhere, this hot girl came right up to me at the upstairs bar and asked me if I'd like to do dances. Usually I like to scope a girl out for awhile before I select her to dance for me, but this girl had a very hot look so I said yes. We went back to the room behind the bar. There was no fee to enter. After the next song started she jumped on my jock and got to work with nice pelvic grinding. About 1 minute into the song she asked me if I wanted to have an even better time, basically letting me know that extras were on the menu. I said no thanks and she was cool with that. I did two songs with her. At first her dancing was a little mechanical, but then it did get better. It was the end of her shift so she seemed a little more chatty than I usually like. However, overall I thought the dances were great. Her name was Farrah. Her body was awesome. Tight ass, slender waist, big tits. Her tits were very soft and natural feeling. Her grind was good enough to make me smile and tense up my legs if you know what I mean. Paid $50 bucks for 2 dances. Next time I may see what's on the menu. I stayed around after this to check out night shift. It was OK. Not nearly as impressive as day shift. I didn't end up getting any more dances. Went home around 9pm

warning: smoking now allowed/encouraged at the Penthouse Club
Warning: smoking allowed/encouraged at Penthouse I don't like breathing second hand smoke and I don't like smelling like an ash tray after a visit to a club. Don't get me wrong-- I have no problem with people who choose to smoke. People should have choice to do with their bodies as they wish, including smoking as long as I am not forced to breath their smoke. I used to count on a number of Detroit clubs to either enforce a no smoking policy in the club (e.g., Criket) or to restrict smoking to areas that have good ventilation (such as the upstairs smoking bars as Flight Club and Penthouse). Far too many of the other Detroit clubs simply fail to enforce the state wide ban on smoking in their club and I typically avoid those clubs. Thus I was shocked when I stopped by Penthouse, sat down at the downstairs bar and the waitress immediately puts out an ash tray for me and the others sitting at the bar (historically the downstairs area was always smoke free). I then noticed that a number of other patrons were smoking at the tables downstairs. I stayed long enough to get a dance from an attractive, slender blonde but left vowing to never return. Penthouse continues to offer a decent selection of attractive dancers (but the quality has notably declined). Many of the dancers are oriented towards excellent "customer service" in the VIP dnce areas. But If you are a non smoker, be forewarned that this club is no longer a non-smoking club and you should be prepared to smell like an ash tray after your visit. I don't know why management has elected to change their previous set up, where smoking was restricted to the upstairs bar and ventilation was good enough that non-smokers were comfortable in the downstairs area. For me, I'll take my business elsewhere, to non-smoking strip clubs such as Criket.
