thursday
Stopped by a little after lunchtime on a recent Thursday. There were about a dozen girls on shift, consistent with the schedule shown on the club's website, though they don't always update that until the middle of the week. Patrons that day were younger than past visits, all looked like they were working age instead of retirees/senior citizens, most in professional business casual, mix of AA and white. Some were stage tipping, but only for certain dancers. The dancer who drew the most to the rail was Daze, the young, very fit & acrobatic dancer. A new face, Nyasha, was intriguing - very thin, but with mixed Asian/AA features? Very beautiful in an exotic runway model sort of way. There was no "buy the lady a drink?" upsell, but one dancer did suggest VIP, which I declined - they obviously have some leeway, since I've never been quoted the same price twice. There are three different room levels, the least expensive is in a corner room with cubicle/stalls with dividers that would be the lapdance area of most normal clubs - $250 for 30 min topless, and a drink, not counting tips to dancer or waitress or $20 "convenience fee" if you use a credit card. The next one up was more of a mini-suite with its own pole/mini-stage for $350, and the last, the "Elite Suite", was "crazy expensive" in the dancer's words. I think they'd do better to offer a 15 min option in the first room for 1/2 the price. It would be similar to Score's "4 pack" that way. There's a pretty big gulf between $30 dances and $300 for a room. Their website advertises a "stimulus package" day once a month where rooms go for $100, but who knows what that includes?

A good local hang out joint
To look at it, you'd think that the Gentleman's Gold Club is one of those upscale joints like you'd find in downtown (think Hustler or Scores), but despite it having reasonably upscale decor and trappings, in fact its a fairly low key, almost working class joint. They have two bars: the main section and a smaller, more intimate bar that they use on Mondays & Tuesdays and for special events and parties. I admit I'm a semi-regular, and I have gotten to know a lot of the girls and almost to a woman they all say that they really enjoy working there. And, really: it shows. Sure, they're there to make money but very few of them are overtly hassling guys for dances or tips (though they can get a bit pushy for drinks, since the management requires them to hustle like 5 typically overpriced drinks per shift or it comes out of their fee; its a Baltimore thing, apparently), and they are generally very willing to sit and chat. The price for lap dances is $30 or $40 for an 'extreme' lapdance (where they can take off their tops), but since the club isn't one of those that edits the songs, its not as bad as all that (they do have a special on Wednesdays with $20 a dance). They also have VIP rooms and whatnot, and those run $300+ a half hour. As to the quality of the dancers: they are a pretty even mix of types and ethnicities, so chances are you'll see a girl to your tastes regardless of when you're there. They do pride themselves on their food, and as strip clubs go, the food is pretty good, Nothing to write home about overall, but it is at least on par with a decent local diner. They do steak & crab cake special on Sundays, but I wouldn't recommend you go there for that. The food is good, but not great, and since Chaps Pit Beef stand is in the same parking lot, that might be a better choice. They do a bunch of theme days/nights (Tropical Thursdays, Cowgirl Thursdays, Costume nights around Halloween & Baltimore ComicCon, etc), and every March they do a big fundraiser for the Baltimore Bully Crew pitbull rescue organization. They also have an all-male review on Fridays, for those of you with ladyfriends who might not find the club to their taste otherwise. They've also dabbled in having feature dancers though, but I think they're a bit hobbled by having to compete with other Baltimore clubs like Fantasies or Hustler. Locally, they've become known as 'the midget club', since they seem to have had the best success in having little ladies headline, which is unfortunate. The club is much better than that. Like I said above: the prices in the club are a bit higher than some other places, but they're not out of line with other strip clubs. Overall, its a fun well run place with a friendly staff and a great mix of ladies, but do be prepared to buy an overpriced drink or two, especially if you're not doing any dances.

Dropped in on a recent Wednesday afternoon just after lunchtime. As before during the day, no cover. A bouncer checks your ID after you walk through a metal detector. Various drink specials offered, along with the 2-for-1 dance deal, so $20 each. After around 2:30 or so, the servers started asking "would you like to buy the lady a drink?" if you were talking with a dancer. Both dancers that I was talking with when that happened declined, and seemed not to have any heartburn when I declined. One even apologized for not waving the hostess off. Obviously, the dancers don't get a cut of that. Crowd tended towards older, even elderly, at first, with working age folks filtering in as the afternoon wore on. The club website does a pretty good job of listing who will be in on day & night shifts. It looked to be about 80% accurate. I didn't get a room, but had a couple of dancers suggest it. Quoted price was $155 or $115 each if you went with two girls. Price supposedly includes 2 drinks, 30 min, and the girls are allowed to get topless/nude (dancers varied on that one, so not sure. As always, YMMV.) Not sure if the club's advertised Thursday "paradise room" deal for $120 is the same thing or not. They accept credit cards for the rooms, but not regular lap dances. For regular lap dances, they keep tops & bottoms on, though some of the cheekier dancers may give you a peak or two. As I've said before, the variety of dancers is a plus. Had a great, easy going conversation with Lala, (not Lola, she was there too) a statuesque AA dancer who gave a pretty sensuous dance. Very charming and witty, though she was vaping. Lexus was less of a conversationalist, but has an amazing, tight body and gave a more hands-on dance (even after the minder gave his obligatory "hands on the bench" warning). Had a good time, but she did start partway through a song annoyingly. Also clearly a smoker. Lola (must have been "L" day) is strikingly pretty and like her pal Britney, is more the voluptuous type, in the best possible meaning of the word. They were a little more hardsell, urging a trip with the two of them to one of the rooms. Ended up doing a double dance with them, which hinted at more fun to be had. Definitely more sexy than sensual; they weren't bashful. Britney was more of the talker and outgoing. Last dance was with Daze, who is a young, athletic early 20-something who absolutely made the pole her jungle gym. Definitely the best pole dancer there, with some acrobatic & athletic tricks. Really cool six-shooter tatoo on her right hip along with a floral design. A little less polished on the conversation, but still very interesting to talk with, and my fave of the day. Surprisingly sensual during the dance, given the energy of her floor routine.
Only a few worth checking out
I've visited now at least 7 or 8 times so I have a pretty good idea on what girls are worth even getting dances with at this place. I wish more guys would post about specific girls since you end up wasting time and money on the wrong girls too often. First off 22 year old Hailey is by far the hottest girl during the day I've ever seen. Fake tits blonde hair and no fat on her body. Problem is she is dumb as a doornail and way to into herself. I made the mistake of getting a dance with her just because she was hot. Her dances really sucked to say the least. The Russian Blonde Maya is the best by far in terms of action in the back room. Only problem is she has tons of regulars so you have to get there early and grab her immediately. Not only does she talk really girly and great but she is really sexual and handsy in the back. Super tight body. Jasmine is pretty but has been dancing for 9 years and has a serious attitude problem. Rubbed me the wrong way so I don't even talk to her or give her my business. Nina is an older girl from Brazil who is nice to talk to but over 40 years old which is too old for my pleasure. She has a massage business on the side and actually gave me her business card. My biggest problem with this place is the drink girls consistently harassing everyone every 5 minutes to get another drink. I'm an adult and will go to the bartender when my beer is finished. Lola and a few other day girls are skinny white girls with tats and no decent body to speak of. I'm still wondering how some of these girls got hired and why they are dancing. I would never waste my money on these girls.
Night at the Roxi, what a D'Lite!
I heard about a burlesque type dancer named Roxi D'Lite doing a few shows on Friday and Saturday nights May 13th and 14th, so I made sure to catch her performance on the first night. I tried calling ahead to see what time, but the employee of the club told me they are not sure, maybe around 9 or 10pm. The first show did not start until 11:30 PM. Needless to say, waiting around for well over 2 hours had me pretty much intoxicated on the club's booze. I'm not sure when they got the beer tap, but there was a special of 2 mugs for $8.50. Only two flavors on tap though, Heineken and Old Castle Ale. I probably drank half the Heineken keg by myself waiting around. That is a sneaky good tactic by the club management, holding the main feature entertainment off till really late at night, while everyone gets shit faced waiting around for the show, LOL. Also, the lap dances were the usual 30/dance this night, and the dancer drinks $14.25. The dancer ratio was about 50/50 black to white, with one Asian dancer in the mix. The usual drink and dance hustle was going on while waiting for the feature show to start. When the show I had come to watch came on, it started with the spot lights shooting up the dancer entrance stairs. Out steps Roxi D'Lite and down the steps to the stage, while the spotlights kept up with her. She was absolutely fantastic, and had quite the stage presence as she engaged many of the onlookers. I also noticed that she had a different strut than the usual pole dancers do. A highly energetic show girl strut as she slowly worked her costume off. She came over to where I was seated and beckoned me to get up with a finger giving the come hither. I stood up I got a face full of Roxi's ample boobs as she grabbed me behind my head and smothered me. She also handed out poster size pictures of herself. Not sure if she came out later to sign them or not. I tipped her the last of the money I had, then exited the club after she left the stage. I would say the Gold Club got it right with featuring Roxi D'Lite. I tried to catch the annual pole dance competition a week earlier on Saturday night, but again the supposed 9 PM start got delayed well past 10:15 PM. I had another engagement that night, and had to leave before the first dancer went up to compete, so I ended up missing that event. If you go to see an event at the Gold Club, be ready for a long night if you show up around 8 or 9pm in order to be sure not to miss anything, and then find yourself waiting till near midnight.
