I stopped by this spot on a recent Friday night while visiting St. Louis. The name has changed again, it now goes by Compound (previously Dream’s and before that Wise Guy’s). I got…

OTC better than ITC
I knew I would be in the area and have been communicating with a couple of dancers on there Instagram. I made arrangements to meet one that afternoon at the club. She is a skinny…

1am is apparently still too early
This club was formerly Wise Guys, and the signage out front still mentions that as well as the new Dreams Cabaret name. It's just down the street from C-Mowe's, and a short drive from the…

New spot in Washington Park
I was in St. Louis about a month ago for a Thursday-Monday trip during which I checked out four clubs. My first club was Dream’s Cabaret (formerly Wise Guy’s) on a Thursday around midnight.…

Bait and switch
I left a less-than-thrilling visit at C-Mowe's on a Saturday afternoon and figured I'd pop into Wise Guys just down the street on the off chance I'd have more luck there. The club was very…

Nice diversion, but could be expensive
Popped in to CMowe’s and while there were a decent number of girls they were either occupied or on their phones. After a short visit and no action, I decided to go down the street…

Exactly what I expected.
Went in on a Friday evening, around 5pm. There were maybe 4 other patrons, with 12 girls working. There were 3 skinny Caucasians, 1 very pregnant Caucasian, 1 AA, and 1 thiccer Latina. Entry was…

Waste of time
Sunday night in the area, decided to not try Moochies again. Dollies, C-Mowes and Cheecks all were closed so tried Wise Guys. They were open. Another patron arrived about a minute before I did. Went…

A lot available, for a price.
Got there a little after 6 on a Saturday afternoon. Sign said there was a mandatory $3 charge to go to the state (a “pole” tax?😊).
When you enter, the bar is on the right and…

Against my better judgement...
Driving through STL area between appointments. Wasn't staying over, so I had time for one stop. I decided (against my better judgement) to hit up Wise Guys. It is a big…

Used To Be So Good
Stopped in at Wise Guys late on Friday night. Many moons ago this used to be one of the “go to” spots in WP, but even pre-COVID things had become sort of a joke here.…

Slowest night at a club.
I stopped in on a Monday afternoon right before shift change which was a mistake.
Overall the club seemed very clean. You walk into the front entrance and there are two doors for entrance/exit. No…

The club details are enumerated repeatedly in prior reviews, of course. In this visit, no dancers were dancing on either of the two stages, and three dancers were sitting at the bar chatting. The bartender…

Manager /bartender kills the place
The bar is a hole that you don’t come back from. When you enter the bar is on the right with tables scattered around. A lone small stage with a pole is in…

Back to East St Louis
Stoped in a few weeks back, actually the day after the governor allowed bars to open in Illinois due to COVID. I don’t care for the “ambiance” of this place, big wide open…

Wise guys is still wise guys
Stopped back to WG for the first time since the lockdown. They opened 6-26 I was there on 7-1. No masks required and no one wearing one inside the club. Nothing had really changed.…

I would give the club a 6. Pretty girls but overpriced
I’m sitting in Wise Guys right now. Illinois opened up bars and clubs yesterday from the covid shut-down.
Washington Park never changes. This club is in the middle of the hood.…

A second (mostly) failed visit to a WP dive
Wise Guys was the second Washington Park dive I tried in my last swing through St. Louis, after Dollies. Wise Guys is a bit further into Washington Park than Dollies. It has fenced in parking…

Wednesday in January
I had read some reviews of the clubs in the Washington Park area and after reading through numerous reviews for most of the clubs, Wise Guys seemed to be the one that fit what I…

Visited Wise Guys, first time in over a year or two. The décor has changed, they cleared out most of the tables, but the stage, and the bar remains in the same place. The…
