Reviews

It's been 3 years since I've reviewed this place. Figured it was time for another review. The road construction out front is finally completed. Unfortunately if you're approaching from the city in Des Moines from the south you no longer can turn left because of the new cement median. Parking lot is unchanged it's free and plentiful. Cover charge is $5 Still Remains the only club in the metro with a full bar. The layout of the club is unchanged period when you walk in there's the bar off to the left the stage is to your right. Further back is the pool table and the semi-private area for dances. This area is actually been remodeled within the last year or so the cubicles and half walls used to be positioned to where you were looking at everybody else. Now it is somewhat of a circle of soft chairs and jcouches all facing the center. Beer is still cheap but $5. Private dances are $20 each. The daytime late afternoon early evening crowd is still largely old white guys 40s to 60s. The list of dancers is always posted on the Whiteboard by the bar. They typically post the lineup on their Instagram. If you know the girls names you can tell what order they'll be in because they go in the order that it is posted. From what I can gather it's first to arrive is first on the list. The dancers do a 15 minute stage set. Song very based on the dancer. A lot of the girls dance to classic rock'80s and 90s with a little country. The black girls do a little more trap and new black music rap. I was fairly surprised at the assortment of dancers for a weeknight. Several younger and more fit appearing white girls than I've seen here in a long time. There's still the mixture of the white girls in there early to mid 30s as well as still about half the dancers are black. In years past you'd be lucky to see one young hot white dancer. This was a pleasant surprise Dances at the stage are still fairly good mileage if you give a reasonable tip you're going to get some good attention at the stage including some Mini grinding. Dances in the back semi private room are still the same as it's been for years. $20 per dance. Mileage is fairly average with good grind and hands-free to roam. Dances are topless only.

Short: I will return! It was what I was looking for without knowing I was looking for it. (Quick note, this was from a couple months back that I finally decided to share) First time visitor to Outer Limits. I chose this place over others after reading reviews of the Des Moines clubs on this site and it seemed that the milage per $ might be good here. (I typically go to clubs in the Omaha area) Arrived at 11:15 pm. Friday night. Good amount of cars in the lot. I had to park around the north side towards the back. While the front of the building is along the main street and is better lit, I felt just slightly iffy parking around the back side and it wasn’t clear where I was allowed to park. Not that there was anything I saw to cause concerns, its just my habit to try and park in front with a lot of light when going out to new bars. The entrance door is on the east side along the main road. It wasn’t very inviting, I actually thought it was the back door or something and looked around to see if I was at the wrong entrance. Heading in was like walking into a typical beer joint. There was a $5 cover. Not a large place, it was maybe 75% full. Half at the bar, maybe another 25% just talking and drinking at tables, and the last 25% paying attention to the girl on stage. The bar is the first thing you see and it runs along the south wall as you come in. You walk in a bit and the room opens up to where the stage is on the right (north side). Certainly not the central focus point of the room but it was a decent size. Chairs are around 3 sides (maybe 6 per side) while the east end of the stage is up against the wall. There was a door on that wall too that appeared to be where the girls go backstage. There is a small alley between the stage and the north wall for just one row of chairs. So if you wanted to sit in one of those chairs you would need to go down that alley and have guys already sitting stand up for you to get by. The rest of this room was filled with some standard 4 seat type tables. Maybe about 8 of them? Like other reviews indicate, there is a pool table room on the back (far west side) of the building and north of the pool tables is the private dance area. While the place was overall small, it was bigger than the impression I was left with from reading previous reviews. I got a beer (price I forgot, sorry, but didn't seem excessive or anything) and saw that the alley seats between the stage and wall was pretty accessible, so I grabbed a seat there. It was kind of nice having the wall against my back and being up along the stage and still seeing the entire room beyond that. But this would also make it pretty impossible to get a girl to come over and talk about private dances. I would have to move out into the open when I was ready for that. The girl on stage had not rotated out since I came in. The sets seemed pretty long, multiple songs. She wasn’t what I considered hot or anything, maybe just a 5. She was a taller white girl with a really flat chest. Odd teeth or jaw line (not ugly, just odd), she was average build, not heavy but not thin. Dancing topless with huge erect nipples on her flat chest, so that was nice. She smiled lots, talked a lot to patrons, and just kind of did her thing while actually looking like she was enjoying herself. I tipped her and all of a sudden it was like a magnet went off and she was all over me. I had to relook at what I tipped (just a handful of singles, maybe 5), I was getting quite a bit of attention for that little tip. It was really unfortunate that I didn’t find her all that attractive. I like big tits, so flat ones in my face don’t do it for me. She finished and a black girl went up next. She was attractive looking. Maybe a 7+. She had better dance moves too and used the pole for dancing. I pulled out my phone to jot down my first impression notes for this review. I guess It bothered her because she came over and stomped on the stage in front of me and told me to pay attention. Lol. I tipped but didn’t get the same kind of attention as with the first girl. The rest of the girls walking the floor were average in shape, sizes, and looks. Maybe a handful of 6 or 7s, a few 8s. Split even between white and black. They mingled as typical with strip clubs. Hanging on the regulars, occasionally taking one to the back room. The next girl on stage was also black, but now we have moved up to a solid 8+, close to 9. She was built very well and had great moves on stage. She catered more to the younger men around the stage and less to me (the old fat white guy). So I felt my lurking in the corner time had come to an end. I made my way out of the alley of chairs, got another drink from the bar, and sat at an open table in the room. I made eye contact with a brunette white girl wearing glasses who was maybe a 7 on looks. I had noticed that she had been taken to the private section a few times by different guys while I had been observing from the wall seat. She wasn’t stunning or anything, average tits and ass and average shape in general; but had a cute neighbor’s wife or school teacher thing about her with those glasses on. Her outfit was nothing special, almost overly sexy for her glasses persona. She recognized my gaze and came over. She sat down and we did standard small talk “how’s the night”, “where you from”, “first time here”, bla bla bla. She asked if I was interested in a private dance and I said sure. The private dance “space” is in the back area sectioned off from the pool table by a room divider. I forgot to look for how things were monitored (cameras, etc), but didn’t notice any kind of bouncer presence. I mean I’m sure they were somewhere, but they were out of site. There were maybe half a dozen love seat type chairs. Some spots seemed more private then others. She sat me in what was likely one of the more easily visible seats which sucked. In other words I could see other dudes getting dances and they could see me. But it was fairly dark so it didn’t really matter. Ok the dance. Lets just say I will absolutely come back for this girl again! She asked if I wanted a half hour of dances ($?) or just one ($25) and we could go for more after. That sounded fine to me, I said lets start with just one. She asked some probing questions and set the rules as we started; “what do you like, you can touch here but not here, let me know if I make you feel uncomfortable at any time, etc” then got to work. Each private dance time seemed to be the standard 3 min. She did some preliminary neck nuzzling and light over the cloths contact, then got on her knees between my legs, looked up at me with some pretty sultry eyes behind those big old glasses, rode her hands up my legs to my crotch (over the pants) and said “I want you to let your imagination run wild”, then performed an over the pants pretend blow job with lots of hand rubbing in very nice places. It felt great and yes, got me hard. When she knew she got me there, she smiled and asked me when was the last time I’d cum. That really threw me. I’ve never been asked anything that direct by a stripper. She told me she had cum just yesterday but was always horny and ready to cum again. Wow! This kind of dirty talk went on and on and of course I got a second, third, and fourth dance. I have never had so much dirty talk combined with a lap dance. It was amazing having her fuck with my mind like that. Fyi, I don’t seek extras or any out of building connections with strippers, so I’m kind of clueless if I’m being solicited, but I’m pretty sure she was just hustling me for more dances and nothing more. At the end of the fourth dance as she was slow grinding her ass on my lap with her back against my chest, holding my hands over her tits, and whispering that she could “feel me” in my ear; I felt myself becoming a little too excited and didn’t want to become one of "those guys". I told her that was enough for tonight. She pretended to be pouty sad and said she understood why (which was fucking hot, lol). I paid for the four dances and gave a really nice tip for such an excellent job. $100 + $100 I went back to the tables and finished my drink plus one more. The stage dancer was a tall thin blond, small tits, nice ass, call her a 6 or 7. Didn’t really see anybody else that was available for a dance and still had glasses girl deep in my head. So I called it a night and headed back to my hotel for some quality alone time. So an unexpectedly great night. I’m planning a return some day. Hopefully she is still there or better yet, that that kind of dance is the norm for all the girls at that place!

Visited around 5:30 pm; sign on the door says cover charge after 6 pm. My common beer was about $5, but I don't know exact amount. Got a 10 plus some ones back from a $20 bill. Free parking, no bathroom troll. Girls mostly 5 to 7. They seem to do many dances on stage; I would have preferred having them dance fewer songs, so I could see more variety. Went back for a private dance with a busty dancer from Columbia named China. She quoted $25 a dance and asked for $10 tip after 3 dances. Like several of the girls, she was a little heavy but really nice boobs. Enthusiastic in the private dance area, nice grinding and a little stick shifting. Kept my hand away from the kitty and varied the positions. She had a great attitude and I'd spend time with her again. Nice casual bar. I'd be happy to return.

Great day at the ballpark watching the I-Cubs, so capped it with a trip to Outer Limits. Arrived just before 7 pm to four cars in the lot. Didn't pay a cover charge, but bought a bottle of water for $3. The bar is right in front of the entrance. As described elsewhere, this is a great dive bar that also happily has strippers. * Bar to the left of the door, about fifteen stools * Stage to the right, two poles, surrounded by mirrors and seats * A handful of small circular tables, each with four chairs * Video games next to the bathrooms * Pool table in backroom across from the stage * Next to the pool table is the private dance room. Six couches in a C shape (nothing on the right wall). For the most part they are divided up, but two chairs are opposite each other so you could lock eyes. A couple of old guys are sitting at the bar, with one younger dude at the edge of the stage tipping away. There were two dancers working this early, both AA. One was thin, smaller breasts, with longer braids. The other was a little curvier with a great ass. Approached the second dancer when she was on stage. Stage dance tips get a pretty thorough "thank you" at the rail, with the dancer climbing down into the lap for some grind and boobs in the face. Asked her to find me after her three songs, which would be easy given the few number of people in the bar. Went to the back room for private dances, $20 a song. They were full time - 4 to 5 minutes, and quickly got the top off and down to g-string. Good contact and mutual touching throughout. Ended up going with five dances and a tip. Just short of LDKs, which is what I shared with the dancer. She promised it would get messy if we kept going, which I liked to hear. It started to fill up, with three more dancers showing up (2 AA, 1 white) as I prepared to leave about 8:30 pm. Overall quality was 5-8, depending on your preferences, but all were making good contact at the stage and seemed to be rotating through the private area. Definitely will return in the future.

After a show downtown, visited The Outer Limits based on the strength of reviews here. I actually tried earlier in the day - they open at 2 - but on entrance, bartender told me no one was dancing until after 5, so I left. On entrance, it feels like a cheap, dark, neighborhood bar, complete with a couple of video games and a pool table in the back room. Stools along a long bar on entrance, cover charge of $6 with a one drink minimum (I am driving, so just water and a can of Pepsi for me, $3 each). Seven or eight small tables with four strip club chairs around them surround a stage to the right. The stage has two poles and mirrors all along the opposite wall, and the dancer room is at the top of the stage. It feels comfortable and like a strip club that will either be wonderful or extremely disappointing with no in between. There is a board behind the bouncer which lists eleven dancers working. Clientele ranges from a couple of old guys wearing Deere hats to younger crowd of what used to be called yuppies. I sit down with my soda and wait to see the stage show, as no one is up currently. Over the next ninety minutes, I only see 7 dancers, not the 11 listed. It is a pretty good variety - 3 or 4 white, 2 AA, one latina. Skinny to thicc in the right places, A cups to DDs, probably all in all 4s to 7s with the latina a strong 8. I can see the praise for this place - the stage dances were almost dry humping at the tip rail, with hands allowed to move pretty freely. This is promising and I dropped a stack of singles amongst various dancers. Returning to my seat between songs, the Latina came out from the back room and slid her hand along my back, asking if I wanted to have some private fun. I eagerly accepted. The private area is a side room, next to the pool table area. It has a narrow entrance and a high wall, so nothing is visible, but the clacking of the (pool) balls could be heard. Dances were $20 a song, and song length seemed like actual full tracks, not the 2 1/2 minute stuff some clubs pull, as it's the same music as is being played for the main stage. There's a series of booths and while the two on the ends could be visible to each other, the dancers seemed to move people around so there was no peeking or awkward looks. Dances were solid - good grinding, but not quite the level of possible LDK I thought from other reviews. This dancer was hot, though, and knew it, and seemed to be mostly going through the motions. She was topless and removed bottoms, but left on g-string. I went for two then stopped for now. Kiss on the cheek after I paid and returned to watch for awhile longer. Definitely will return in the future, maybe a bit earlier so dancers have not found their table for the night.

Arrived around 5:30 , maybe 6 or 7 girls working( no California dimes but maybe a Midwest 6?). Most of them were hanging with regulars or back stage. The girls here don’t seem to hound you, so if you’re looking for something a little more laid back this is a good spot. The club has a dive bar feel without being to gross, I think that aspect keeps the crowd size down. I never have trouble finding seating etc. The girls that stopped by my table seemed happy to sit and chat , weren’t pushy. The “private” dance area is a grouping of open cubicles in back facing each other , so locker room rules… keep your eyes on your own stuff 😂. The dances were ok. Good grinding and some stick shifting. Kinda your basic Midwest lap dance. Overall a descent place that won’t break the bank , but you’re not going to find anything too special.

Outer Limits was about a 15 minute drive from downtown Des Moines. Much of that was on a highway that made it feel further away out of town. The road the club's on is torn up from construction, but there was a road-side sign marking their drive so it wasn't too bad getting in. They had plenty of free parking. Cover was only $5 (about 9:00pm on a Thursday). A bottle of water was $3. The club is small, with a bar on one wall, a single stage taking up much of the rest of the space, and a scattering of tables and chairs, all in decent shape. There was a back room through a curtain with a pool table squeezed in. A group of guys with their own cues were in there much of the evening. The space felt a bit like an old dinner club/bar that happened to have a stage in it. There were eight dancer names on the board by the bar, and that seemed about right from what I observed. Two were white, the rest were black. They were average in build and appearance. The stage show was ok. Dancers queued up their own songs on their phones, so there was a variety of music. Most of the dancers performed, though did very little in the way of pole work. Stage-side tips resulted in attention from the dancers, usually including a bit of a casual lap dance. The night I was there was quiet and slow, and that was reflected in the energy on stage. Lap dances were done in a side room through the same curtain that led to the pool table. There were a handful of trashing, falling-apart love seats in individual cubicles. Two faced each other, but they were otherwise reasonably private. The dancers I tried did a nice job; each provided a good grind and encouraged fondling. Overall, the visit was very low key, without much energy. So much so that they started closing up early. I could see a better night being more entertaining, but his one was just meh.

Ok, so I submitted a review for this joint a while ago as a first time visitor. Descriptions of the club are there, and nothing has changed. I have visited the lap dance area, so I will describe. It's an area that has 4 wide cushy chairs, 2 of which kinda face each other. I can't remember if it's curtained off at the entrance, but you can't see if you're not in the area. It's dark, and if you don't mind others getting dances, feels private from the rest of the club. The walls are almost veiling height, with a partition between each seat. It's a weird layout to explain tbh. I've made this club pretty much my go to club over the last half year or so. I won't give an exposition of all my visits, but I will give the good stuff as my justification for returning here repeatedly. 1. As everyone mentions, stage tips are incredibly high mileage compared to everywhere around. Full 2-way and you can even get away with some over the panty touching if she knows you and you're subtle. The place is almost an LD factory, so the girls really do what they can on stage to take you back to LD. 2. The girls are all in all diverse over my many visits. About 50/50 AA to white ratio. The AA girls are all nice, though hover in the low (3) to mid (6) tier. White girls hover a little higher, ranging from 5 to 8.5. I can have whatever flavor I want (barring other ethnicities, which are absent) 3. I always get an LDK. The LD's are 20 a pop and the VIP area is dark with nobody monitoring cameras. The mileage still won't go higher than anything OTP, but I've seen a guy bury his face in some OTP V for the entirety of 15 minutes. I had a really good OTP BJ where she let me finish in her mouth, still OTP. My constant LDK also has to do with the girls and knowing how to give a really good grind. I've had maybe 2 bad LD's against almost 8 or 9 LDK's. Added on too, most girls don't mind the LDK. I stop the dance once it happens out of curteousy and they get the idea. I tip and everyone is happy. As for the bad stuff, bathroom sucks, drinks are pricey (7 bucks for a tall tap beer), and their sound system/playlist system sucks. Each girl puts on her playlist via AUX on the phone or something, but songs will regularly cut off randomly. I don't mind, as girls make up for it during LD's. I'm sad to say that my traveling days are now behind me, so I won't be able to frequent the joint anymore. I'll remember it fondly as a place that makes my pants messy.

After leaving Beach Girls, thought I would try a different club. I am a fan of the strip club dive bar but was a bit warry of prior review. I figured if I didn't like this place I would head to lumberyard just down the road, but I ended up finishing my night here. Club is a little hard to get to right now due to 14th street being closed just south of the club, so this cuts it off a bit from Lumberyard, Minx, and Big Earls. But still easy to find and not far off the interstate. The parking lot was pretty full when I arrived about 10:30 on a Friday night. Club does not look like much from outside, small brick square building. Main door is big metal door. Upon entering paid the $5 to the friendly bouncer and was wanded for weapons. First impression this place is tiny. There is a bar along the left-hand wall just as you enter. There is maybe 7 or 8 small strip club tables scattered about the main room, and a low small runway stage along the right side surrounded by chairs. There is another small room in the back with one or two pool tables, and a small dance area with 4 small cubicles. I would guess this place is 2,000 square feet at most. I took a seat at the bar and ordered a $6.75 Sam Adams from an older but attractive bartender. There was one other bartender and one attractive waitress working. Dancers here were almost evenly split 50% black %50 white, one of the white girls may have been Hispanic. Most were in the 4-7 range, not models but no ugly either. One black girl had a very large belly but the rest had decent bodies. Crowd was almost all black or Hispanic, with a few white guys. It did not feel unsafe to me at all. Watching the stage show, a $1 or $2 tip can get you a lot for your money. Most girls will climb off the short stage and give you a short lap dance. Like Beach Girls grabbing of tits and the ass is encouraged at the stage. I eyed a cute white girl named glasses named Rain, she came over and made some short conversation before asking me if I would be interested in $20 topless dance. She has a slender body with long black hair and glasses. There is no VIP here, so the topless dance is the only option. I was happy to hear dances were $20 instead of the $30 or more at all the other clubs in Des Moines. The lap dance are is dark with enough light to see where you are going. Rain explained that her rules were touch anywhere but the kitty and no licking or sucking. Her dance was very sensual and high contact and included a lot of OTP stick shifting (which she had verified before we started was ok). Dances were also pretty long. There is no DJ, so standard song length. I did 3 nice dances with Rain for $60 plus tip. Headed back to my seat at the bar. I was struggling to get the attention of any other dancer since many seemed occupied with their friends or regulars. Eventually a beautiful black princess named I think Tiffany? stopped by and after a short conversation we headed to the dance area. Her dance was more sensual, we did the first dance standing up with lots of hugging and hand exploring before settling in. She was not as handsy as Rain, but her dance was a more slow sensual experience. Hands were allowed to roam anywhere, although I did not try too much around the pussy. Three more enjoyable dances with here. I headed back out and spent a little time tipping at the stage. I decided it was getting late and not getting much attention from the other dances, I took Rain back for 3 more lovely high contact dances before heading out. Overall - I really like Outer Limits. If you want to see beautiful women naked and are ok with BYOB than Lumberyard or Beach Girls is probably your place to go. If you want a friendly seedy dive bar vibe and a high contact lap dance for $20 along with a beer in, Outer Limits is a good bet.

Stopped in for a quick visit at around 8PM on a Friday. The building is dinky lookin in the middle of nowhere. Parking lot was decently busy, and didn't feel sketchy to park at. Paid $10 cover to get in. The medium sized room opens up to a bar on the left and a single pole stage with relatively sparse seating around. Just behind the seating is a small pool yable area and the semi-private lapdance area cordoned off my black curtains. I never got a LD, so I can't say how private. If packed, I could imagine the joint holding no more than 30-40 people. I'd say dancers ranged from 4's to 7's. Mix was mostly AA, half skinny and half pleasantly thick. Only 2 white girls. Most were preoccupied with regulars, while others were hiding in the small dressing room. Walked in and took a seat at the rail, where a bored looking AA girl was doing a set. Other reviews mention the high mileage you can get at the stage for just a small tip and I can confirm that. My $3 tip gave me a nice, grindy 1 minute LD at the rail. Two way contact was also allowed and encouraged. Got nice and handsy with her ass n titties, though they were on the smaller side. Stayed at the rail after her set for a few more mini LD's by 2 more AA girls and a thick white girl. I'd say 5, 7, and 6 respectively. All dances were roughly same quality, high mileage for just a few bucks. I was most impressed with the white girl's LD. Nice and intimate with ear whispering and lots of groping. Her kitty had a slight stink to it though. She was just my type and I would have taken her for some private LD's, but she cozied up to 2 guys at the stage. She stayed with them the rest of the time giving them stage LD's that looked nice. Seemed like she was trying to get them to private to no avail. After that, took a seat and waited around for 10 minutes for a dancer to approach me. The other white girl approached me and chatted me up. 7 easy, and would have loved to take her to private just based on her look. College girl no doubt. She said private LD'S were $20 per song, which is a pretty good rate for the area. Was going to make good on that private, but she dipped on me, saying something about using the restroom before our private and leaving to talk to regulars. Really soured the rest of my visit. Spent the next 15 minutes at the rail for some more LD's with some more AA girls, none any better or worse than the previous 3, and then left. Total visit was about an hour. DEFINITELY a regulars bar. The high mileage stage dances are very nice for the money (I only spent $30 in stage tips for maybe a total of 12ish minutes worth of LD with 6 girls). However, the difficulty of prying dancers away from their regulars is so high, I think the stage LD's are the only reason for coming in. I didn't get a private LD, but would have liked to. I can't say whether extras were on the table or not. I'll visit again someday if all I want is some high mileage stage dances. Overall though, great place if you're a regular or whale, but otherwise just good for the value. If you really want a decent LD, either be patient or visit elsewhere.

So this club is a dive bar with dancers. I know they make money, but I'm not sure how. I've been here a few times and can be completely ignored. Not sure why either. I'm the only customer willing to dances and I don't get approached. That being said, I've also had some of the best dances in this club. There are some real hotties here and give a good grind. There are limited xtras, but ymmv. Chairs and tables are worn. Drinks are average. Bartender is usually grumpy but give good service. Private dance area is cubicles. Stage is worn. The girls do get drunk, so be ware. Saw two fights with drunk dancers and watched one fall off a bar stool. I think this club needs to clean it up a little, but don't lose the vibe. There are usually 10 or more dancers. A few are knock outs. Private dances are $20 per song. There are cut songs, so keep a count.

I stopped by on a Monday, early evening. The place is a bar with dancers versus the typical club, which I like. The vibe is more chill. There wer 3 girls working. The girls talk more with you and aren’t just pressing you for a private dance. Drink pricing is reasons. Domestic beers are $5. They gave some draft, but I had a bottle for $5. I talked with a dancer named Raven. She does a good stage show and friendly. I did one VIP dance for $20. Dance was good. If there wasn’t a pandemic I would have done more. My take this is not an extras place. Just solid private dances. They have several hand sanitizer stations so that was a positive. I will go back. I recommend it if you want to have a comfortable place to enjoy and few drinks and some nice girls. If you want a big, club feel then this isn’t the place for you.
