Tough place for an out-of-towner
I arrived at Temptations just before midnight on a Thursday night. When I arrived, I was charged $15 for cover and patted down by a security guard. The layout of the club is pretty simple - a large stage at the front, two smaller stages to the left and right of it (not in use during my visit), and two still smaller circular stages on the floor. There are circular tables all over the main floor, and some large booths in back. There is a VIP area tucked away in the corner in near-total darkness; there are several booths back here, and the arrangement allows for some privacy. There were about 20-30 patrons in the club during my visit. There were about 10 to 12 dancers working; most were in the 5-7 range. There were about six to eight white dancers and four AA dancers, all in at least pretty good shape. The club is BYOB, though they did have soft drinks available for $5 and a champagne special for $40. There was only one waitress on duty, but she was attentive and stopped by every 10 to 20 minutes to make sure I didn't need anything. The manager also stopped by a couple of times to try to sell me on the champagne special; I wasn't interested, but the manager was courteous and not an annoyance. Right when I sat down, an older redheaded white dancer came over to my table and asked if I wanted company, which I accepted. She gave the stripper handshake and asked if I'd like to go back to VIP and "have some fun." I wanted to enjoy the stage show for a while so I declined. I noticed that not many patrons seemed to be going back for lap dances or even leaving stage tips - most just sat at their tables and enjoyed the drinks they had brought and shared with the dancers. After a while, the redheaded dancer went on stage; unlike all of the other dancers, she performed completely nude. After she got off stage, she returned to my table (I had tipped her during her performance) and asked if I'd changed my mind about dances. I suggested we go back to the VIP; I paid $20 for a wristband and we took the booth in the back. She asked me how much fun I was looking to have / how much money I was looking to spend. I said I could spend $120, and she said she could give five dances, and there would be mutual touching and I could DATY if I wanted. I didn't do that, for safety reasons, but there was some mutual touching, which was fun. On the fifth song (and some prior to that) she reached into my shorts and played with my equipment, but was pretty rough with it (and had long fingernails), which made this hard to enjoy. After the fifth song I asked how much for one more song, and she said I could pull it out if I spent $80 more. At this point (given that the lack of satisfaction seemed due more to issues with technique than interest on her part) I decided to cut bait and return to the floor. Overall not the best experience - the dance was fine but felt a little bit like going through the motions. At this point there were three stages in use, the main stage and the two small satellite stages. Each dancer stayed on each stage for three songs, which meant that if you saw a dancer you liked, she'd be on stage for about 25 more minutes before she was free for dances - not great. It didn't matter anyway, since all the dancers, when finished with their rotations, found tables with other patrons (I assume regulars) and sat and socialized. Unfortunate, because I was prepared to spend more on lap dances, but couldn't find any other takers until I had decided to leave. I know that sometimes the expectation is that customers will take more initiative, but I had signaled my interest pretty clearly with several of the younger cuter dancers and got nothing. I think if I'd been more of a regular presence there I'd have had more luck, but this was frustrating for someone just visiting from out of town. I think that during my two-hour stay there, about three or four customers went back to the VIP. Just felt like people were there to hang out, and doing anything more than that wasn't really on anybody's agenda. The club is conveniently located for some of my business trips, so I might return. I didn't spend a ton of money and leave feeling swindled; I just found that there was a lot of unrealized potential there.

You might get stabbed
While on a run with friends looking to hit up multiple black nude clubs, we ended the night here. A couple miles west of FW on i-30, word has it that this is the best after hours spot outside of Dallas. The club is in the middle of nowhere down multiple dirt roads. Many of the streetlights did not work though the club is not terribly far from the i-30 offramp. One thing to note is that after crossing the path with the concrete barriers on the side (might have been a bridge though it was dark and I couldn't really tell), the dirt road next to the club comes right up to the cement parking lot. The parking lot itself is fine, but the dirt around the lot has eroded away in some parts so be careful of where you turn into the lot or you might drive into a big dip. This is a BYOB club and we had lots of booze left on our run. Cover was $10 for Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I think. They make their money selling buckets of ice and $1 plastic cups. A "mixing kit" with a bucket, 4 cups, and a carafe of juice or coke was available for $15. The club feels spacious with high ceilings where the second floor does not overlap with the first. There are a couple of stages, with an odd torture chair on the side of the main stage. There is a vending machine with cigs and snacks. The mensroom had 3 urinals (one was out of order) and a single stall with no door. The toilet in the stall might have been leaking or might have been backed up, but parts of the floor near the stall has inch-deep liquid of some sort. Dances on the floor ran $20, or $10 on Tuesdays. $10 gets you a wristband that allows for access upstairs where the dances are full nude and $30 a song. There is not much privacy upstairs, no real dividers, just some couches and seats as though this used to be a dance club. But since most who go here are fairly low budget, I often had the entire second floor to myself and the dancer. Dancers themselves were mixed in race and age. No real whales (like we saw earlier in the night at Pandora's), but no hardbody coeds either. No extras were offered from the dancers. However, sometime around 3am a couple of local ladies came in and sat at the next table. After offering them some booze and buying them some table dances, I actually snuck upstairs with one of the local girls and fooled around. I was drunk and it was dark. Probably best that I don't remember too much as I think they were all rather country. Not my finest moment.

BYOB Club in West Fort Worth
This is a "nude" club that has an Aledo address but is about 5 miles west of Loop 820, just off of I-30, in west Ft. Worth. The Building is a rectangular warehouse that's functional but not really luxurious. Cover was $25.00 and it is a BYOB joint. They sell tubs of ice to keep your beer cold, or a $4.00 coca cola to dilute your liquor, if you want. In theory it is a nude club, but only the black girls (and one other white girl) were actually doing nude dances at the pole stations (of which there were 4, but only 2 to 3 were in regular use. They have regular lap dances for $20 and nude dances for $30 upstairs in the VIP section. They also have a "two for one" dance special about once every hour or two pursuant to which the girl will do two dances for $30 in the VIP. I got one of these and the girl never actually went fully nude. Then I gave her two $20 bills and she didn't give me any change. So for this "special," I essentially paid full price for two non-nude lap dances, from girl I wouldn't give a second glance if I saw her on the street. For a non-special, if you want a nude dance you have to pay $20.00 for a wrist band to get upstairs, and then the "nude" dances up there are $30.00. So I did that with another girl, and she never actually took her bottom off. She did three dances and I gave her $80.00, and told her to get the other $10.00 from the other dancer who ripped me off. None of the girls in this joint were better than a 6, and most were in the 3-5 range, looks-wise. There was one couple sitting a the table next to mine, the female member of which was a damn sight better looking than any of the girls working the club. I was tempted to ask her for a lap dance when her date got up to go to the restroom, but my cojones are not quite that large. I honestly don't get the point of a BYOB "nude" club where they charge a fortune for cover, charge for VIP, and the girls don't dance nude at pole stations, and even in the VIP section you (I guess) have to browbeat, plead and cajole them into dancing nude for you. I'm afraid this place is a dump that isn't worth driving five minutes west of the loop to find. I won't be going back.

Best place for the money (on Tuesday).
I went with a buddy and tried out this club. It is located just west of fort worth, Normally the cost to enter is $25 (+$10 if under 21) but it was 15 on Tuesday. We came with beer and the guy took our beer and put it in a big bucket of ice for $8. I was going to get ice either way, so I don't know if it was required or not. We got there at around at 12:30 at night and it was slow at first. It started getting busy at around 2 am when the other clubs closed in Fort Worth. (I am not sure if any of the clubs in Fort Worth stay open later than 2, so this club in Aledo does have that advantage after 2. They say that the best time to show up at this club on a weekend, to be able to actually sit down, is before midnight. Tables around the stage are the only ones that they charge for (on the weekend) and that's between 60-100 dollars which is fairly reasonable compared to the prices in Dallas. Dances are normally 20 for table dances and 30 for VIP. You might be able to get VIP dances for $20 if you buy the VIP wrist band, or possibly for a topless only dance. VIP was $10 tonight, but I don't know what it normally is. On Tuesday, the table dances are $10 and a few times they had a deal for 2 for 1 VIP dances (2 for $30). The ladies will line up on the edge of the stage and you can choose who you want. VIP dances are in an L shaped open room with booths on the wall with small dividers between seats for privacy between patrons. The manager was walking around but it doesn't seem to bother the girls very much. I was told that during the 2 for 1 dances, they tend to give out shirts but they didn't do that this night. Table dances at this club was fantastic. I have been to places where you are lucky if the girl takes her top off for a $10 dance. Here they were nude at least in part of the dance if not for the whole dance. They are not shy and will sit and talk to you (at least on Tuesday). They have a coin operated pool tables, for $2 a game. Playing pool is alright, but its even better with strippers playing with you. They have a kitchen, it was open until at least 3, maybe even until close. Overall a good experience, I will definitely come back. The girls are very friendly and your money goes a long way. We spent most of the time there chatting with one of the dancers.
