One of my favorite clubs in Iowa
I've been to this club a handful of times and it really is one of the most easy going strip club I've ever been to.
Located in an industrial park area. From the street, you really…

Best in the Des Moines area
I visited on a Tuesday night after midnight. Cover was $10. Tuesdays are great because they offer two for one dances. The stage is huge and the seating is plentiful. There…

Aptly Named!
Outside - Big parking lot, seemed fairly well lit. Big building, well-maintained for the most part, but the entrance was showing some age and wear. The entry itself is a little bit of a…

Average. Not a waste of time, but certainly not a hidden treasure.
Visited the club on a Thursday night, arrived just before 7. Place is extremely large, not brightly lit (enough to see, but dark enough for discretion), clean but not exactly upscale. It's got a decent…
