Crystal City Restaurant - Gentleman's Club

Been to this strip club a handful of times in the past few months. Club is just as much a local dive bar as it is a strip club IMO. In Virginia…

Everyone who works there is nice to you, but the overall atmosphere is standoffish and cold. Many of the girls are very nice, but try to get one to sit down…

I made the mistake of going here recently. The problem with this place is really the location and set-up. First off, there really isn't any dancing besides the main stage…

In Crystal City on business for the first time in several years (like 10). I was hungry so decided to see if the Crystal City Restaurant still served those good cheap…

I came here for the happy hour steak dinner on Monday night. This place is a good place to hang out, which is why so many men (and some women) patronize…

I stopped at Crystal City restaurant on a Thursday afternoon around 2pm. Since this club is in the Northern Va area, there is no touching and no lap dances. That is a…

Only come in here 2 or 3 times a year because it is such a pathetic excuse for a club. My most recent visit was on a Friday afternoon from about 445…

I came in on a Monday for their steak special. Free entry and got a table to order while watching some some nice hotties strut their stuff. This is a pasties club,…

I live in the neighborhood so stop by this club from time to time. Women here tend to be older but most are pretty. I have a hard time regarding this as…

I went in on a Monday afternoon. The place wasn't too busy and there was a decent number of girls on rotation. This place is great if you are just…

This is a good sit down, drink a beer and watch the girls kinda club. There is ample TV with sports when not watching the girls. And it really is…

Not bad. I like that I can smoke in the back, but generally a good place to hang out and watch, the girls do not bother you too much except for the…

I had some work in the area so this is a compilation of my visits. Overall I had a great time. The bar itself was nice and clean and had…

I've been in the DC/NOVA area on numerous occasions and have always thought about making a visit here. Stuck in Crystal City because of my incompetent airline, I decided to catch dinner…

All I can say is if you plan to visit on a Sunday nite in August, don't bother. About 8-10 dancers on duty, maybe 2 of which I would charitably rate…

The previous review is very accurate. The main thing I would add to it is that I visited on Monday night and Tuesday night at about 10pm each time, and this place…

Dropped in for a steak and some eye candy after work. There were about 12 or 15 girls doing one song sets on two stages. Service was excellent and the…

A bunch of buddies and I stopped by this place late one Saturday night. There are no lap dances, but the free cover and eye candy more than made up for…

I was in the area on business and had an hour for lunch. There are a lot of very good restaurants in the area from which to choose but I thought that…

I visited here on a Friday evening and it was the first time in almost a year. They now have a seperate area for smoking. I sat in the non…

I was in town on business and decided to stop at this place on my last night since my hotel was across Jefferson Davis Hwy. I had read some of the…

Bad vibe in this club. Cliques of dancers at war with other cliques of dancers. Americans v. foreign dancers. Old v. young. Attractive v. less attractive. Also, rumors that a strip club…

Pasties club, which kind of sucks. Worse still, there are no lap dances allowed. Still, the food is good, the dancers are friendly, and there are far worse places to spend a…

On recommendation of a friend I stopped here one night. I was starving so I ordered a salad and sat off to the side to watch the show. The food…

I've been to this club numerous times. It's essentially half-strip club, half-restaurant. Virginia law requires the girls to wear pasties over their nipples so, IMO, doesn't feel like a true strip club…

Another trip to CCR after a long absence. I’ve never liked the DC clubs because of their restrictive ordinances (why bother?) but I’ve always enjoyed visiting the CCR. It is…

I stopped into the CCR for a nightcap last night around 10pm. I hadn't been in here in maybe 8 years or so. No cover (at least on a Monday…

I had been here once a few years back. I was meeting some colleagues for a happy hour a couple of blocks away, and traffic had been less than I expected,…

I came down to DC on business, so I figured I'd take the metro out to Crystal City and find out what this restaurant/strip club is. It's a great set up, with…

I don't go to strip clubs often - only been to three different ones, and only once or twice to each. So I'll give you my impression but can't really judge how…

Decided to visit this hangout in Arlington and grab a quick bite to eat. The food here was excellent (had a cheeseburger and fries), and I got the chance to talk…

Pasties, thongs, cute friendly girls. Slow Sunday night with my wife, we sat at a booth and got some food, which was so-so. They always had a girl dancing on each of…

New in town and had to check it out. Basics: Pasties and thongs only. No lapdances, but some very nice looking ladies. Reasonable drink prices for a club. Food is rumored to…

Been here before, was looking for a meal and some entertainment. So me and a friend decided to hit this place because he had never been here and I recommended it.…

The first thing you need to know about this club is the last word in its name -- "Restaurant." That's what it is. It is not a strip club with good…

Crystal City Restaurant - the Stepford Strippers of No. Va. Despite having read the reviews, it turns out this is the ONLY club in the Crystal City, VA area that was within walking…

Decided to give this place another try. Still not impressed. Women are older. Friendly enough on the surface as they walk by for their collection of dollars but no interest in talking.…

Good food at cheap prices. No nudity, dancers tend to be older. Like the others said, more of a sports bar. I have been to places all over the world and this…

I decided to take a long lunch break and ventured with a couple of comrades over to the Restaurant. no cover, and the food was excellent. While this place does…

Nice place to stop for dinner after work. Big screen TV's with various games on. Regular rotation of dancers, so as long as you're looking for a Sports Pub ambiance…

You've got to be kidding me! A group of friends and I stopped in on a Sunday night just to compare to clubs back home. We found the club to have…

Stopped by CCR on a Thursday evening. It's right next door to a 7-11. Top positive: No cover and inexpensive to hang out here. Biggest negative: If you buy a dance, it's…

I stopped in at CCR on Friday afternoon. This club is very easy to find. It is at the corner of Eads and 23rd Street. There are several positive…

As others have mentioned, the CCR was recently remodeled due to the change in Virginia smoking law. The area that used to house the pool tables is now a separate windowed/walled…

Visited CCR a couple Sundays ago. They've remodeled the place to comply with Virginia's new smoking laws... there's 1 pole in the main, non-smoking section and 1 pole in an enclosed smoking…

Nice atmosphere, a little tipping pressure but not excessive. Dancers are older but generally still attractive and friendly as long as the dollars flow. Some touching is allowed and reciprocated, but extras…

First time visiting this place and its definately not your typical club. More of a restaurant than a strip club. Food and beer prices were similar to a sports bar, not as…

Stopped by the restaurant while in town on a business trip. The food was decent - typical bar fare - but what I really enjoyed was the laid back atmosphere.…

Every once in a while I drop in here and see nothing special about the place. Dancers tend to be older....jaded....not interested in customers for the most part (unless you've established a…

As of Dec 1, 2009, Virginia requires restaurants and bars to be non-smoking (yea for me, as I don't smoke) unless they have a separate space w/ its own ventilation system as…

Went to this club twice on Sunday 12/27. The first visit was too early for dancers but the food, service and value were excellent. Later in the afternoon went back and found…

Stopped in for the first time in a while. First visit since Virginia went smoke-free Dec. 1. Actually CCR is not smoke-free, it has a seperate smoking room. I hate smoking but…

I was in this club years ago but it has changed a lot - and is still very constrained by state & local laws requiring pasties on nipples! So any true…

I actually got in around 11:30 and left at about 1:00 a.m. Place was pretty packed. There have been some renovations at CCR since the last reviewer. The pool…

Some people may be disappointed because that's not a real strip club. It is very similar to Archibald's and Camelot in DC - only stage dancing, no lap dances, almost no conversations with…

I stopped in on an NFL Sunday. There are tv's all around the place and I was able to watch every game. The dancers are up on stage for 2-3…

This is a decent place if you are fine with pasties and no lapdances. There are a decent amount of really attractive dancers, no cover, and the food is actually pretty…

I stopped by CCR on Wednesday night after the baseball game got delayed by rain. I have to say the dancers were above average....sexy bodies and beautiful faces. I just…

This review actually covers two visits on consecutive days. First was a Wed night after checking into my Crystal City hotel. Was watching the Nuggets-Lakers game while hoping to catch…

About a dozen dancers on shift, most of them fairly hot. They'd make a killing in a real lap club. SteveBaker's review is spot on. A great place to…

NOTE: this is pasties and g-strings (i.e., a bikini club) This is a very inconspicuous club, next door (connected) to a 7-11 and right of the main "restaurant row" in Crystal…

Ratings given based on expectations with Virginia laws. Stage dances only. Girls wear pasties. However, the food, beer and service is very good and the atmosphere is laid back.…

the club is located next to metro station. good location surrounded by a lot of restaurants, so it is a pretty safe area to hung out late. the parking is tough. you…

I've never had so much fun at a strip club without getting a dance. This place has good food and beer and pretty decent looking girls. The music is top 40 and…

This place was located close to my hotel near the airport. Typical Virginia club with dancers on stage in pasties. The dancers did appear to be in the 6-8 range, but…

Seems like the tough times have hit my beloved CCR. Was in last week and it seemed like there were fewer dancers than I can ever recall seeing. Worse yet, the quality…

The commercial says "they don't come here for the food." Well, sometimes we actually do. The food in general is quite good, and we can't get enough of the steak…

Stopped by for a quick lunch and to enjoy looking at some gorgeous young women. As usual the girls here were very sexy looking and very friendly. Except for the…

This place is all about setting your expectations. If you have been to joints in FL, CA, or Vegas, this might be a letdown. You have to remember Virginia law prohibits any…

I've visited Crystal City Restaurant about a dozen times over the past six or seven years. As others have noted, due to Virginia location, pasties only, absolutely no touching. Most…

In the area again and stopped for "dinner & a show". As in my last review, good solid value for the food, ice steak, cold beer etc for like $25. Not a…

As mentioned by others this is not a typical strip cub , but more of a resturant/sports bar with dancers, Pastie club. Very pretty girls overall. I was actually hee while…

CCR is always fun - the girls are hot, friendly and the food and drink are top notch. Treat the girls right and you can get quite the dance at…

Came here for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Decided to visit here instead of the Sports Pub cuz I wanted to see some T and A instead of Sportscenter. Had a good…

Stopped in for the first time in years. It's a different type of club, half neighborhood bar, half strip club. Dancers were more attractive than I expected from past visits (long ago.)…

No cover, great food at reasonable prices, and friendly dancers and waitresses. Very nice place to spend an evening! Because of VA laws, the dancers have to wear pasties and…

Just got back from having lunch there. Both stages were open, and the girls were better than I expected. There was a broad range, mostly 7-8s with an occasional 6…

Another pleasant visit after a night of dinner and pub hopping in Old Town Alexandria. Stopped in on the way back to the hotel. Mostly 8's and 9's but their…

I wasn't sure exactly what to expect at Crystal City Steakhouse. I had been told that the girls wore "pasties" but to be honest I wasn't exactly sure what that meant.…

This is not a strip club by most standards. Girls dance on stage with pasties and walk around later looking for tips. The women are 7's to 9's. They seem to be prety…

THe girls here are very pretty (and very nice) and the food is great (not to mention cheap) but if you're looking for a true strip club, don't come here. The girls…

Pretty Girls, topless with nipple covers. Pool table, music box, dining tables and two show stages (main and small). Girls strip in turns, moving between poles, and moving through customers for tipping. Nice service…

On the plus side, the food here is pretty good. Their are two stages in this relatively small club. The main stage can probably fit about a dozen chairs and…

Attractive women though some have been at it too long. Va. law requires that not much is revealed--this doesn't bother me but could be a dealbreaker for many potential patrons. Dancers aren't…

Pretty girls, great happy hour specials. No lap dances (VA law), and pasties and g-strings manditory, but the girls at least put on a good show. Food is pretty good…

OK...reality check. Visited on a recent Tuesday nite between 9:30-11:00 pm - no cover charge. Admittedly, I've been spoiled recently having seen some of the country's best clubs in the last…

Have to knock the raing down a point or 2 frpm my last visit, really poor table service this time. I do stop here because of the girls but also for…

Stoppeb by last week for the first time and really thought this was a great idea. This is a great place to have dinner and look at pretty women. It…

Only reason to go here is if you're on business in the area and don't want to drive to Balt. Great eye candy, good food, cold beer. Stopped in on…

There hasn't been much in the way of improving the CCR in the past few years. The owner has put a lot of effort into putting a 3rd and 4th floor…

Got here right before noon on a Thursday. Good thing, it got a lot busier afterwards. Was told this was a good place for lunch. The food prices were…

This has to be one one the most lame areas when it comes to strip clubs, but I am spoiled by having East St Louis close by. Went in to the club…

Like the gentlemen said: it's pasties, g-strings, no lap dances, no nudity. On a nice summer day you will see hotter girls on the street outside, because it's Northern Virginia, and…

Stopped in for a late lunch. There were about a dozen customers in the place and about as many dancers. Dancers ranged from about 5 (a "veteran" dancer with enormous implants) to…

For a club that is topless only with pasties required this is the highest possible score. The ladies were exceptional. They were mostly young and very well built without being…

This club is tucked away next to a 7-Eleven a block away from the main drag of the Jefferson Davis Highway. It’s easy to drive past the place, though street parking…

Different kind of place, a g string & Pastie place with pretty good food at a decent price, in town on business & enjoyed a ribeye steak plus eyecand on the stage. There…

I went on a Monday night. The club was not crowded, but because I got there around their shift change at 6, I got to see ladies from the afternoon and evening…

I love this place. Generally I couldn't give a place that is pasties & g-strings any more than a 5 but this place offers a different experience. Generally the girls…

Decided to spend an afternoon here after a long morning of meetings at the office. No cover, went in and had a few beers, played some pool, and chatted up with…
