Great Local Club - huge value
*Summary* Pros: Great value, above average talent, fully nude Cons: Small-ish venue, no alcohol. Will absolutely be returning. I went and visited here on a Saturday night. I arrived just around 8pm, and it was honestly pretty quiet (about 8 ladies working the floor, 2 patrons). Dances were $40 for 3, or $100/15 min in the VIP. After I grabbed my first soda ($10/drink by the way), I started getting approached. Apart from one dancer, I didn't get any hard sells (anything more than what you usually expect, I suppose), and by and large the talent was very pleasant to chat with. Dances ($40/3) did not include tops off, but any VIP dances ($100/15m, $200/30m, $300/45m) did. Bartenders followed the girls giving dances back to the VIP room and always asked me if I wanted to buy the lady a drink. This is a bit of a smaller club with some dedicated regulars. The dancers somehow immediately knew it was my first time. By the time I had been there an hour, the club had been packed out a lot more and there were about 15 ladies walking the floor. They skewed more young, with occasionally older, and body types for all tastes. The only negative of my experience there was getting the hard sell on a double dancer lap dance which left me wanting (the other dances I had, the dancers took their tops off immediately for the dance, with this one, she kept fishing for tips for her and the other lady to take theirs off). Lesson learned. I just went back to the other dancers I enjoyed.

Hot girls, no extras
I'm something of a regular here, mostly because of one specific CF, but I do get VIP dances with other girls. While you can get dances in the main club area for $20 a song (and occasional 3-for-$40 specials), I wouldn't really recommend it. These are pure air dances, a sales pitch for the VIP rooms, and they don't give much sense of what a VIP session will be like. There are 3 different levels of VIP: $100 gets you 15 minutes in one of the curtained-off booths that line the walls, $200 gets you 30 minutes in a slightly larger booth in the corner, and $300 gets you 45 or 60 minutes (depending on the day of the week) in a booth with a couch big enough to lie down on. Some of the $100 booths are only accessible by walking though others, so if the club is busy you might have other couples interrupting your dance and killing the mood a bit. The $300 level is the only one with full blackout curtains, but there are still cameras watching you so extras are generally off the menu. The VIP experience is very dancer dependent, but all are topless and most give good grinding. Many will let your hands roam relatively freely and some are enthusiastic about cuddling, slow dancing or acting out doggy style, etc. There is a risk that a girl will air dance her way through a $100 VIP session while trying to sell you on the more expensive options, which obviously doesn't work but is very annoying. Because this isn't really an extras club, girls who hint about them are probably hustlers. If you go during the daytime, there's a good chance that you will be the only guy in the club, with perhaps only 3 or 4 girls working the day shift. The weekday shift changes at 8, so there tend to be a lot more girls after that. It can get very crowded on weekend nights after 10. You can usually avoid the cover charge by pulling up the club's Instagram, where they they post coupons for free entry almost every day along with pictures of some of the girls working that night. Problem is, Instagram keeps taking down their profile and forcing them to switch to another, so you don't always know what account to follow.

New at Taboo
First time time coming here. It was a Tuesday afternoon about 4 pm I think. It was early. Parked up front and walked in there is no one at the register. Cash register at the front of the building then a dark hallway leading to a mirror. there is a sign “pay the bartender.” I stuck around at the door thinking I would get pat down before entering. After a couple seconds a a guy walked down the hallway telling me to just go in and pay the bartender. So I did. After you walk down the hallway you turn left. Left from there is the bar. Infront of you is the stage. And to the right seating with vip around the seating area behind curtains. I showed them my free admission pass they were promoting on their IG. Paid for a water $8 there was one girl at the bar did not look good at all. Solid 3 black hair skinny. She was moping around the bar the entire time I was there. Sat down and a cute blonde I think her name was Lani sat down and talked a bit. She is a OC 5. She told me 20 for air dances. 3 for 40 when DJ calls them out. VIP 100 for 15 mins. 200 for 30mins. 300 for 60 mins. I wanted to check out other women first before committing. A small Hispanic girl walked up next to me. She was a 6. And then another white girl with black hair. Her name was Salem I believe. She was maybe a 6. She got me to go in for 15 min vip She was ok good grinding but I have had better. I saw a big titty blonde girl I wanted to have a dance with later on when I left. Maybe next time. Over all a meh experience. Might check it out at night if I am ever in town again. Definitely had more fun at other places.
Keep your expectations low and it's a decent club
It's very visible from the freeway but it's on a kind of weird side street so unless you know the area definitely use your map app. The building is a free standing industrial type, they have a small parking lot next to it and there is street parking. It's at the end of a street so the street parking is easy and plentiful. The cover at night is $20 with a one drink minimum for $10 and since it's a nude place it's only a juice bar. The place is clean and nicely laid out, big stage in the front with lots of chairs on the rail, then small tables and chairs behind them then surrounded by bench seating and tables. The lap dance area is located all along the perimeter before the bench seating and separated from the club by curtains. The clientele is always very mixed, more like a local sports bar. There are definitely a lot of regulars and the girls know them. The dancers do two songs, in theory one is topless and the other nude but at this club that is more of a suggestion than a requirement. I've seen dancers get nude as soon as they hit the stage and I've seen dancers never take off anything through the entire set. One thing I've noticed here more than other clubs is the dancers seem to try and do good pole work, more than just grabbing it and walking around it. They actually try to climb it and do some tricks, it's not amazing or anything but at least they are trying. The enthusiasm of the dancers on stage definitely runs from they are just totally tuned out to they know their audience. As mixed as the clientele the dancers are even more so. For example this trip there were Hispanic and white dancers, both natural and enhanced, a white BBW, a kind of MILF redhead (very sexy) and a tall very thin white goth girl with a unibrow, shaved down below but hair armpits (really don't get this). There is essentially no drink hustle here at least on the floor, it's very, very laid back. I didn't get any privates, I've done it here before but in general this is a VERY low mileage club. All in all if you want to just chill and watch and talk to strippers you could do a lot worse but keep your expectations low.
Humbly Disappointed
I have only move to the west coast a few months ago from Philadelpha, and this was my first club I visited. Being this close to Los Angeles, I was quite disappointed overall. The building is located in what can best be described as a warehouse (?) district. There is an auto body repair shop literally right next door. There is also a homeless shelter on the other side of the street, so expect to see a few vagrants wandering around on your drive in. Surprisingly well lit parking lot. I got there on a Saturday evening around 8pm hoping that I could watch parts of the UFC fight that were going on. When you first enter, you are greeted by the “bouncer” to pay the $20 cover. I use the term bouncer loosely because while the guy was intimidating at a distance, he was easily pushing 500-600 pounds, which don’t get me wrong, he was quite large, but he also seemed to get winded walking around. It makes me nervous how much he could do to actually break up an issue in the club. Not trying to shit on him, just a legitimate question/concern. Once you pay the cover, you walk down a hall into the club. The club is essentially one large rectangle. The only stage is at the front. DJ booth and drink bar are along the close wall. Because this is a nude bar, they can’t serve alcohol. I had asked one of the girls if they let you do BYOB, but they said the club doesn’t allow it, so people will pregame in the parking lot before coming in. The remaining space in the club is reserved for padded bench seating along a proxy midwall, and various tables and chairs in the remaining space. The bar could probably hold about 40-50 people if it was fully packed. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I was the 3rd person in the club. I’m not sure why the club was so dead, but some of the girls said that it is not uncommon to be like that till 10 or 11pm. I walked up to the bar to get a bottle of water only to discover that every drink, even down to a bottle of water, was $10. While I get since they can’t serve, they are probably looking for other means of income. If it was just $10 for me, I wouldn’t of minded so much, but every time the bar tender walks around while you are talking with a girl, they will ask you to buy the girl a drink. After talking with about 3-4 girls, and being out $40-$50 before even getting a dance, I wasn’t super thrilled. Part of this may have been due to limited customers inside, but even still. $50 on non-alcoholic drinks is a bit absurd. When I asked if one of the two televisions that were along the wall could be turned off to watch parts of the fight, I was told the TV’s don’t work. Am I asking for too much? Girls are you’re pretty standard mix of ethnicities. White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, etc. They did seem to skew a bit on the younger side, like early to mid 20s, but all in all pretty standard. After sitting and watching the girls rotate on stage for about 40 minutes, and talking with some as they came by for the dollar parade, one of them (no names) came up to me and we struck up a conversation. Seemed nice, but a bit paranoid. I asked her what the strip club scene was like in Orange County, only for her to follow up with “why do you want to know?”. I proceeded to explain that I was relatively new to the area, at which point she continued to duck any follow up questions. Don’t know if she thought I was a cop or something, but it was a little weird. After some back and forth came the proposition for dances. VIP dances are $100 for 15 minutes. I thought they also did single song dances at $20 each, but none of the girls seemed to offer that. I’m sure its something along the lines of they get a bigger % of the dance if they do a VIP. The girl I chose looked to be a bit on the older side (comparitively). I’d say maybe late 20’s/early 30’s but she had a nice pair of bolt ons. I asked her how good she was at VIP dances, and she said it would be the best time I’ve had. (Spoiler Alert: it wasn’t). After agreeing to a dance, she walked with me over to the bar to pay the $100. Once I handed over the cash, she whispered in my ear “I gotta do something in the changing room, I’ll be back in two seconds”. 5 Minutes later she came back out. I was super thrilled that she just up and dipped like that, and I asked her if she was planning on counting that 5 minutes of our time. She said no, but it makes me wonder if I didn’t say anything if the clock would of been started. Not sure what she was doing, I’m assuming using the restroom, but do that before money exchanges hands. The VIP booths are on the opposite side of the midwall along the perimeter. Maybe 15-20 in total. What sucks is that as you are walking to a booth, you have to walk by other patrons getting their dances. And let’s just say you can be within arms reach of girls as you walk by, so very narrow. We arrived at the booth, which is a little wider than a standard lounge chair, but a little smaller than love seat. The seat she picked for me had some kind of support rod that split the seat into to halves, and because the padding was (understandably) worn down, I had to sit on it the entire time. It would either wedge right into my ass crack, or I could shift to one side and have it riding my ass cheek. Either way, super uncomfortable. Additionally, there is a giant red security camera that stares you directly in the eyes. Look, I understand and respect the need for security cameras when it comes to VIP dances. They are there to protect customer and dancer alike. What I hate is when you are in a dark booth space, and you have the Red Eye of Sauron from a camera lens staring at you the entire time. There are better and more inconspicuous ways to stage cameras, but I digress. The dance starts and she gets down to business. Pretty standard for hand travel. She didn’t seem to mind too much. But usually with dances the girls will take their tops and/or bottoms off. This girl didn’t feel like doing that. I asked her if she wanted to get more comfortable, and she said “I only really take off my robe”. I’m sorry, what? At this point, I kinda figured I wouldn’t be in a hurry to come back to this club, so I didn’t cause a stink and just let her continue, and then I would leave once she was done. The “dance” aspect wasn’t that bad. She knew how to move accordingly. What was the turn off was every 2-3 minutes she kept reaching into her panties to “adjust” herself? I’m not sure what she was doing but after the 3rd time I asked her if she was ok, to which she respond “no, I’m just getting really wet” and giggle. The red alarms were going off in my head and I was ready to finish up and head out. Just before the dance concluded, she whispered in my ear “I’d like a tip unless you want to go another round”. Now listen, I like to think I am pretty generous when it comes to tipping, and I believe it should always be implied to tip from the customer side. I usually do a standard tip of 25% of whatever the dance cost on average, maybe 30-40% if the girl did a bang up job. But between the overpriced Costco water, and the girl fixing her panties constatly, along with asking for tips, I was kind finished. I gave her a $20 as I gathered my belongings and started to head out. She looked unimpressed that she only got a $20, but I think I was super generous considering she didn’t even remove her top or bottoms at a NUDE CLUB. Who knows, maybe my expectations are too high. Regardless, I walked back out to my car and headed home to boil the clothing that I was wearing cause god knows why she kept digging in her panties. I don’t think I’ll be going back here again anytime soon. The club seems like it has potential, and perhaps with a different girl I would have a better time. I am willing to bet with the high volume of clubs located between Orange and Los Angeles county, there are better clubs that provide a better experience for your dollar.
Better than the hockey game
Friday afternoon December 30, 2022 I went to an NHL game at Honda Center. Not a very interesting game, Nashville beat Anaheim 6-1. After the game I went to Taboo from about 5:30 to 6:30. The club is located in an industrial area at the end of a dead end street right next to the 91 (Riverside) freeway . Parking spaces next to the club and along the street. The club only takes up about a third of the building it’s in and there was an open garage door into the rest of the building and one could see cars parked inside. Perhaps valet for the employees? There was a board by the entrance desk that looked like one used to hang car keys for a valet setup, Cover at this time was $10 and I changed a 20 for 1’s. No security stuff. Down a hallway and you enter the main room. On the left is the DJ space (the DJ was using a laptop) followed by the juice bar. Away from the left is the elevated square stage with one pole. There are about 15 chairs at the tip rail on three sides of the stage, 15 small tables and chairs in the middle of the room and 15 small tables at bench seats against the walls on three sides. Not an especially large room. Nor was the lighting particularly fancy but the overall lighting was enough so one could easily see the dancers, not super dark like some places. There were 2 TV screens showing sports. I sat down and the waitress came over and I ordered a generic bottle of water for $5. Drink purchase did not seem to be required. Not very busy at this time, only about 6 customers and about 8 dancers. Dancers remarked that it’s usually more busy than this on Fridays, possibly so near to New Years was holding down attendance. There was a dancer on the stage only occasionally. They did two song sets, first topless and at least the dancer who I saw her full performance (she was one who I later did a lap with) got nude in the second song. Dancers were attentive in approaching customers. Dancers seemed generally in good shape, mostly white and Latina. Four dancers approached me while I was there. The first was a newbie called Dutchess, an American born (to judge from lack of any accent) Latina. She said she had just turned 21 and asked what my age was. I said what do you think and her reply was nearly 3 decades less than the actual number. Another dancer who approached as I was about to leave was a probably early 20’s slim Oriental looking woman whose name I didn’t get. In between were the two who I did laps with. The first was a brunette called Emma, probably 30’s, C cup boobs. The other was also 30’s, probably B cup, blonde, calling herself Madison, and originally from Finland. She must have been in this country for awhile since she spoke perfect American English. She said she also worked as a personal trainer, she looked to be in good shape herself. Single song lap dances are $20 each, but are done with tops covered. Timed sessions are $100 for 15 minutes and proportionally for 30 and 60 minutes and are topless. I did 15 minute sessions with Emma and Madison. Pay in advance at the bar. The first time the waitress asked if I wanted to buy the dancer a drink and I declined. Lap dances are done in booths behind the walls on three sides of the main room. Cushioned bench seats and walls on either side. There are curtains that are drawn but there is no corridor outside the cubicles so if anyone was going to a cubicle farther along they would have to go through the booth you were using. Not a problem at this time with so few people around. Nobody bothered us in either session. The DJ politely announces the end of the time over the PA. I think I caught a glimpse of the 60 minute space which had a fancier couch. I will run together the descriptions of the two dances. They both took their shoes off which is a good thing. Hands on access to boobs was available, good grinding as well. One breathed in my ear, the other nibbled on it. One of them was very active with stick shifting. Afterwards I gave them modest tips, which neither of them asked for. In summary the physical plant is nothing special. Prices are reasonable . The dancers are in good shape and friendly. Probably YMMV with other dancers but with the two I did dances with mileage was high to very high. No indications of extras. I spent about $280. I would go back.
