First time to the Banana since I usually only visit clubs when traveling. Stopped in around 10pm on a Wednesday after seeing some friends on North Shore.
It’s bigger than I imagined with about 20…

The banana has a “peel”
Entering the club through a metal detector and license scan. There was a ten dollar cover charge.
The room is very large. There is a large main stage with a bar on the…

Thankfully went with a plan on a Monday night
I was in the Boston area and had connected with a dancer I knew from one of other area clubs who told me that she was now working at the Golden Banana (where she had…

All the excitement of a mayonnaise sandwich
Golden Banana is on US 1, but you may miss it because they hid it behind a Gulf station. There's plenty of parking. When I got there around 6:30 on a Tuesday night,…

Prodigal banana son returns?
Ok so I haven't been to the Banana in a couple years but I was bored and wanted to see how it was doing.
10 dollar cover on a Friday and I got there around 830.…

Still good club after many years
The Golden Banana, or DB's Golden Banana, as the sign says, has been there for over 50 years. It's been through many iterations as a strip club. Now it's part of a group of 3…

Going through a rough patch.
I have a bit of a soft spot for Golden Banana, so it pains me to provide this update. Logistics: Route 1 North behind a Gulf station just before the 95 North ramp. There…

Not a bad place - just hard to find
Never here before but a local friend had told me about it. As other reviewers may have mentioned, this clubs very well hidden behind a GULF gas station. If you don't have your eyes peeled…

OK if you’re in the neighborhood
Been here a few times on Friday nights and each experience was pretty much the same.
First of, it’s a big club, they got a huge stage in the center and a small one that some…

Second visit - quick in and out
Came here for the second time on a Friday afternoon a while back. Pull up my other review for more deets on the physical location. It’s easy to miss on route 1.. tucked away behind…

Slow Wednesdays at the GB.
I visited the World Famous Golden Banana while I was driving home from Boston on a Wednesday. This was my first time at this club and I would say my experience was pretty average. I…

Better than my low expectations
This was my first time at DB GB… I actually had no idea it was around (before learning of it from Tuscl) despite driving by it millions of times on Rt 1… cabaret you can’t…

Pole Dance Competition 1st Preliminary
I went on a Thursday for the 1st preliminary Queen of the Pole competition. I remember the beer being expensive; $8-9? for a corona. If you enjoy the stage viewing aspect of a strip club…

Friday night fun at the Banana!
Location- Rt 1 North Peabody. If you haven’t been there before there is a chance you could miss the turn. It is set back off Rt 1 North just before the Gulf station.
When you…

Bad Luck Banana on a Thursday
I swung by the banana on the way home from the airport, and was underwhelmed by the Thursday night shift. It was hardly a thirst trap. The monitors informed me that there was a…

Holiday Friday at the Banana
It was a holiday weekend and not very busy. There are massage girls wandering around the place that give a two song upper back massage for 20 bucks. I got a few of them and…

Another Night At GB
Stopped by for another go around at the Banana around 7:00pm on a Tuesday. It was slow, which was fine as I was in town on business and wanted to watch the Celtics. I’ve had…

Night Time is even Better
Up and out late on a Sunday, and after a major swing and a miss at The Cabaret I realized I'd never actually been to the GB at night. I've only ever been during their…

Third Times the....decent
Made my third ever trip here, first time was great, second time was uneventful, and this third trip was somewhere in the middle.
Fridays are they only day of the week they are open before 6pm.…

Not Bad, but I may have peaked
Took a second visit after being pleasantly surprised with my first a few months back.
Same routine, $5 to get in around 2pm, metal detector, ID scan.
This time it was even more dead than the…

Better than expected
I was in town for work and decided to stop by since it was right down the street from my hotel. I had a great time. There was a 10 dollar cover, and I went…

A VERY Pleasant Surprise
I grew up in the area and drive by this place all the time. I never set foot in there ever. After having a pretty mediocre experience across the highway at The Cabaret on my…

Not Bad Friday Afternoon, but Not Worth Going Out of Ones Way
I made a stop on a Friday afternoon on my way home from work, and a lovely lunch at the nearby Hooters. I paid a small cover (maybe $10), went through the metal…

whatever at best and painfully boring at worst
TLDR: On the best night of its life, DB is just okay. On a typical night? Boring and your money goes much further elsewhere. Girls tend to be cute, but GPS is rampant in this…

Good time at the Banana!
The location- For those that haven't been there, you could easily drive right by it. It's located on Rt 1 North in Peabody, right behind a Gulf Station. Ample parking, never been an issue when…
