Improved over previous visits, but still not great
Quick Summary:
This review is only based on a few visits, on a slow & rainy summer days, so my observations may not reflect typical experiences during busier seasons or shifts. That said, there isn't much of a day shift. The place is slow with only a few girls and a few customers. One day the floor manager was pulling double duty as the bartender/waiter. Don't trust the online roll call, it's inaccurate as fuck. I still managed to have a good time, but like all the Palm Beach clubs, its nowhere near as fun as Pompano.
Basic costs:
Parking: Free during the day, after 8 or so it's $10 to park in the conned in section and $20 for the spots right next to the door, but there is a large shared lot with free spots available. Valet optional at night.
Cover: Free till pm, then $10 Sun-Thur, $20 Fri-Sat I think.
Security: Wanding/Pat down sometimes, ID Checks for anyone close to 21 but no ID scanning.
Dances: $25, they have $10 dances with a $10 bracelet purchase on Tuesdays till 8 or so.
Private Rooms: I know they have them, but I didn't discuss them with the girls.
Drinks: Beers $4 happy hour, $8 after. I didn't buy any cocktails.
The place and service:
It's easy to find, parking lot is large and seemingly safe enough. The building is upscale and well kept, but not overly opulent. Inside I find to be very dark, not as bad as it was years ago but still much darker than other clubs I visit. I stopped coming here regularly years ago, in part because they had a consistent problem with servers and waitstaff being shitty in every way imaginable. On recent visits, there was only a bartender and a couple floor guys, no waitresses. The bartender was good, friendly and efficient. She did double duty as a waitress without issue, as there were only about 3-5 customers there. There weren't many girls, so the stage was empty more often than not while I was there. The bar seats are somewhat limited, there are some tables, and a number of larger tables that look to be used for bottle service or private sections.
The girls:
On this day, there was about 6 girls. Two were early twenties, slim, natural, and pretty for my tastes. One was a little older, but the same body type. The other two were a little larger but certainly not fat or anything. The online roll call showed 3 girls. One of which was recognizable, one might have been the same girl but couldn't be sure, and the 3rd one on the site wasn't there. There were 4 other girls there who weren't on the site at all. Two of them were the ones I found attractive. One girl was black, one Cuban, two white, and the other 2 probably white but I didn't speak with them and can't be sure from just looking. They were all mid twenties except for one who was probably late thirties but I didn't get a good look at her as she was with a regular my entire visit. The black girl was on stage when I arrived, she was the only one to get nude on stage while I was there. She got off stage and left, never to be seen again. after about 20 minutes of empty stage, one of the slim & pretty girls got up there. She barely moved her top to the side, but she was hot so I tried to tip her. She completely ignored me, I left my $10 on the stage and walked back to my seat. She ignored the tip when she got down, the floor guy picked it up and tried to hand it to her and she waived him off. I don't know if I offended her somehow or it was just the end of her shift and she was done talking to people, but she sat in a corner for a while and then eventually left too. Two other girls approached, the first was friendly but I didn't find her attractive so I didn't engage. The other was the 2nd cutie, who was Cuban with limited English. I took her back for some dances. They were good, but nothing spectacular. They were done in a reasonably private communal area with a long bench and dividers between seats. No hint of anything extra, but I was pretty reserved too. I'd go back to see her for more $10 dances, but not at $25.
The atmosphere and vibe:
I find the vibe to be pretty chill, maybe even a bit boring. There were only about 10-15 people in the building, staff and all. But aside from one desperate and annoying stripper constantly trying to get me to tip her to go away, they were all friendly. The place is pretty well kept. As I mentioned earlier, the lighting kinda sucks. Its very dark, but at the same time they've got lots of moving lights that are typical for SC's, but the execution just seems off. I find they shine in my eyes often as I'm sitting, and draw attention to random corners of the club rather than to the stage. The DJ played songs of wildly varying length. I got curious and timed a few, and they ranged from under 1:30 to over 3:15. Had the dances not been $10, I'd have been annoyed with the short songs. I didn't stay much after they stopped doing the $10 dances so I'm not sure if they're just cut short for that.
Summary and comparison:
Overall this visit left me with more hope for this place than I've had in a while, the dancer quality was good despite the low number of dancers, the service was good, prices were good. My biggest complaint I'd have is that it wasn't a little busier, which really isn't much of a complaint. The other thing I want to call out again is that the online roll call is absolutely not representative of the girls working that day. Compared to nearby Cheetah, it's much slower and overall not as good. They've got more girls, more customers, more energy. But, all I really need is one sexy and fun stripper to have a good time, and I found one at Rhino and saw a few other potentials in the building. Compared to Monroes, Rhino seems to have a little less of the uptight, forced attempt at a high end feel. For me, that's a good thing since I find that shit pretentious. The girls were comparable in quality and quantity, prices were a little better at Rhino. Compared to Scores, it's pretty similar on Tuesdays with the $10 dance special, but outside of that couple hours a week Scores tends to edge them out slightly in every regard. Of course, none of the Palm Beach clubs compare favorably to Pompano unless you're averse to extras. In Palm Beach they are much less out in the open, but not much less available, albeit at somewhat higher prices. I'll stop in again if I find myself nearby on a Tuesday again, or maybe for an evening recon. Otherwise, I'll probably just stick to the Pompano clubs, even though they're about twice as far away for me.
