Hoops Reviews

As I mentioned in a separate review, I was in Manhattan for 2 nights for work. The first night, I went to Rick's, but I made a mental note to return to that area the next night to sample Hoops.

When I arrived, the doorman (in his extremely showy fur...

So the only time I posted a negative review of a club in the past it didn’t get approved for some reason but here we go….
It was about 2:30am on a Friday and I am a usual fan of Ricks and that was my actual destination but for some reason...

No cover when I got there
No fee for coat check. I tipped a couple bucks

Was meeting a friend, so had about an hour to kill. First NYC club trip even being a stone’s throw away in Jersey, go figure.

Walk in coat check on the right, no charge. Go through a...

Never noticed there was a club right next door to Rick’s. But a few reviews popped up on here and I decided to check it out.

$20 entry. (ATM fee $10). 2 drink minimum. I didn’t even bother getting 1 because who’s counting? Small club. Red lights. Mirrored walls. Flat screens...

Hoops cabaret is right near Times Square and some decent Asian resturants. Hoops is a sports bar themed strip club i think the cover was 20 bucks as I didn't go with a voucher (seems too cheap). The doorman then brought me to a table behind the bar which was...

Came here to visit an old "friend", J****, who used to work at Flashdancers. I had been meaning to stop by and finally had a free night to come in. Visited around 9pm on a Monday.

Hoops is right next door to Rick's. Rick's has a much more flashy exterior so...

Hoops is right next door to Rick's in midtown Manhattan. I was in Rick's for an hour or so, and then went next door to check out Hoops. The door guy waived the cover charge. I'm not sure if it was because the club was slow, I'd just walked over...

The place is right next to Ricks cabaret, I went on a Wednesday night during a work trip around 11pm. There were maybe 3 other guys in there and 10-12 women. The place itself definitely is as advertised - a sports bar strip club, which sounds good on paper. But...

This place is huge on hustle factor. I got a free cover coupon around the corner — some guy was handing them out. As soon as I walk in, a Russian dancer grabs me and immediately tries selling a full private. She was maybe a 6 out of 10, but...

I went on a Sunday night. Eventually, I got a couple of $20 lapdances from Scarlett, an Australian in her early 20ies who's a perfect 10 and super friendly. When I came in, however, a less attractive, heavier women followed me from the first step. I sat down and said...

I walk past this bar regularly and as such, have been a number of times. This night, I was talked into going in again by the doorman and I sat at the bar which is on the left as you go in and he brought a nice...

Hoops is in midtown Manhattan, near the Empire State Building and a few doors down from Rick's Cabaret. I visited twice, on a Tuesday around 10pm and Thursday around midnight. Cover was $20. A bottle of water (which several people made a big deal about being Fiji water) was $10.

The...

Went early on a Friday evening. It was happy hour so beers were pretty affordable. It wasn’t crowded in terms of customers and only 2 women dancing. One woman came up to talk to me for a bit before going on stage. I went over and watched. Got a lap...

Had some time to kill, so I stopped in last Sunday evening around 6:30pm. I had been here before around this time, so I was hoping it would be better, but suffice to say, it was not. This place is right next door to Ricks, which is much...

Hoops is midtown, just a few doors down from Rick's Cabaret. It's very narrow on entry with a bar on one side and some high-top tables on the other. A bit deeper in it opens up a bit to a rectangle that includes a small stage surrounded by small tables...

I'd gone to Rick's next door, but that was around 10pm. It was quiet (weekday) with a few girls on the stage. Pretty girls at Ricks, but lapdances are $20 with no touching (hands can go on stockings but thats it). Had two dances there, and decided it wasn't worth...

Strolled in with a friend after the Nets game. A man ushered us in and didn’t charge a cover (which was weird for a Saturday night) checked my coat but they didn’t charge me either just asked for a tip (I tipped $5).

No pressure to sit at a table...

So Hoops just opened back up on Sept 30 due to the pandemic. I happened to be in the city and walked by and Hoops (and Ricks right next door had bouncers outside). I decided to check it out and since I had someone mention Hoops to me some time...

Venue : 8/10 - with a name like Hoops you expect some kind of goofy theme but it's actually not bad. Very modern on the inside, nice lights, lots of TVs and mirrors. Normally a $20 cover but the doorman let me in without it. Downstairs is the main stage,...

Hoops is the lower-key sister club of Rick’s cabaret which is right next door. They market this place as a combination sports bar and strip club. When you first come in past the curtains there is a small pole area and a wall of TVs showing all of the sports...

Been here a couple of times before, but it was dead. This time, I wanted to watch some football, so gave it another try. Didn't regret it.

The club is a long narrow spot. You enter, pass through a curtain and pay at a window on the right. Just after the...

In New York for a business trip. I walked by this place and asked if there was a cover charge. They said not for you and let me in. They had a mandatory coat check though. You enter through some heavy curtains.

On the left hand side, there...

I had some time to kill in the area before I had to go back uptown and I had heard about Hoops so I decided to check it out. It was right next door to Rick’s and the bouncers were handing out cards so I didn’t have to pay a...

Hoops is a combination sports bar & strip club. It's located next to it's sister club Rick's near the Garden/Penn Station. The place is clean and upscale and if you look close the decor has lots of cool sports bar touches such as the bar sits on "lockers",...
