Big Al's

I have been to Big Al’s a few times since moving to Peoria. It can be a hit and miss place with mostly misses. The women either can be overly pushy or caught up in their own conversations to entice you to go back to the back with them. Really no in between. The best dancer I have run into is India. She actually remembers you from previous visits and has a personality. We ended up going to VIP for $250 and it is well worth it. There is plenty of two way touch available and her body is the best the club has to offer. Only downside is she has regulars and will spend time with people that repeat with her so you have to be patient

So it was my birthday, and I wanted to treat myself. I was a big fan of the Peoria Big Al's at its old location on Main Street, and thought I would give the new location a second try. I arrived at twenty to eleven, paid the entry fee, and went inside. The venue was clean and spacious--could have been a club in any big city. I sat down at a table and waited for someone to take my order. A dancer came and talked to me, and said there weren't any waitresses around, so I thanked her with a tip and went up to the bar. After a couple of minutes watching the bartender racing around as though she were two dozen orders behind, I was finally able to get a drink and a menu. I ordered a "boobie" burger and some tater tots, and the food was good--thing was the bar faced away from the stages, so I couldn't watch the dancers and eat at the same time. Now this was supposed to be "Infidelity Hurts Awareness Day" at the club, according to its Facebook page, and there were supposed to be some VIP specials--but when I asked another dancer about them, she didn't know what I was talking about. The dancers themselves weren't all that special, but that was more about me being put off by the tattoos. I might have found a dancer who I liked enough to give me a private dance or two if I'd stayed longer, but I decided I'd had enough and went back to my hotel. Will I go back? There would have to be a really good reason, like a feature dancer or adult star that I really wanted to see. Maybe one of the other Peoria clubs will give me a good reason.

My day job brought me to Peoria last week and I had free time Thursday night to check out Big Al's downtown. I used to frequent all of the clubs in the area 20 years ago and Big Al's was the top of my list. The layout of this club is not typical with essentially one big room with a tall ceiling. The effect of the lighting is strange because of the high ceiling. Feels more like a concert venue than strip club, but this can be easily overlooked if the dancers are looking good and prices are right. I arrived around 8pm and the place was pretty dead. There were three dancers there with one on stage and two at the long bar next to the stage that seemed to only be interested in their own conversation. Two were AA and one Latina and all three were a little old for my liking. There were 10 customers scattered around the big open room with a few at the bar with most not even paying attention to the stage. I was tempted to leave but decided to get a drink to kill time while I hoped things would pick up. They have a huge selection of beers and mixed drinks along with an extensive menu, but I didn't want any food. I waited about 10 minutes for table service that never came and finally walked up to he bar. The bartender was in no rush to help me despite not having anything to do. I got my beer ($10 with tip) and split time watching the stage and a baseball game on TV while getting more beer when needed. Things steadily picked up and by about 11:30pm there were maybe eight dancers and a few dozen customers. The quality of both were nowhere near where they used to be, but there were a few dancers that caught my eye. I tipped one at the stage who came over after her set and invited me to a private dance. She was Latina, maybe 30yo with tattoos and curvy. The private area was very dark with multiple booths and I think there was only one other booth that was occupied. We went to the last booth and the dance started right away. Dance was enthusiastic enough and had good contact. We did two songs and I finally called it right as the third started since I just wasn't feeling it. I paid $60 for the dances and made my way back to my hotel. The club overall is definitely a shadow of it's former self. Not sure I'll be back when returning to Peoria in the future.

Decided to return to see if I could have similar luck the first time. Definitely a disappointing follow visit and it shadows other reviews on here. I arrived after 9:30 on a Saturday night. There were about 20 customers inside and about 10 dancers. The girls had a similar vibe and look which overall was not very good. Most were either huddled together or not interested in working. The overall talent I would rate as a 4 based on looks. The only bright spot is you aren’t hounded for drinks constantly . The one redeeming aspect was a dancer named India. She was by far the best looking girl with a slim build, cute smile and soft little titties. Went back for three song dance in a comfortable couch area. Since the other dancers weren’t interested in working we were the only two back there. $20 per song and a lot of two way touch. If the night had not been so disappointing I may have taken her vip where I think more can be had. Other dancers that night made it seem Peoria could field a decent women’s football team. Thank goodness for India.

Moved to the area a couple of months ago and decided to try out Al's. Went on a Saturday evening after 8 pm and the club was a little different than some of the ones I have been to in other states. The club was pretty well lighted and a very open floor plan. When I arrived there were about eight dancers present but mostly just sitting around. I sat down at a table and after a few minutes was approached by India. She was a beautiful brunette with a tight figure, no tattoos. After chatting for a little while we went back for a couch dance and she performed very well. Great two way touching, perky breasts and shaved kitty. She let my hands roam and she did hers as well. After the three songs I hoped she would return to my table but she ended up taking a break and I did not see her the rest of the evening. After that I was approached by a buxom blonde Monroe. She had a little extra cushion, but with no other dancers really putting in any effort either onstage or in working the floor, I settled for Monroe. We went for a vip session for 20 minutes for $250. She improved on the night by allowing a lot more two way touch and working her hands and mouth. During the 20 mintues she performed better than I was expecting and think there could be potential for OTC. Will definitely be going back to Al's sometime soon.

Went on a Friday around 9pm. Cover was $10 and they scan you with a metal detector at the door. I ordered a bush light at the bar, then found an open table and sat down. There were maybe 10 girls working and they were all sitting around the bar. It was really slow. there were maybe 10 people in there and it didn’t seem like the girls were interested in making money or working. One girl did a dance set on stage and I approached with a big stack of ones. I tipped her a few times, but she just took the money and didn’t dance in front of me or anything really. She spent half her sets talking to her girlfriend on the side of the stage. So I took my money and went back to my seat. After about 30min I gave up and left. Was a total waste of time. I do not recommend this place as it seemed none of the girls were actually interested in making money or working for it.
