Big Earl's Goldmine

I visited on a Monday night around 10pm. There was only one girl working and she was doing a VIP show. Since…

Big Earl's Goldmine offers a very basic strip club experience. The atmosphere is a bit rough around the edges, and the decor feels outdated.…

Des Moines, IA. Wednesday night. Pulled up, big lot, a lot of cars in the lot but the club but definitley not that many in the building, they might set up that…

This club was near my hotel. There were only two girls working and one of those was in back with someone the…

Flew into the DSM airport and felt like stopping by one of the local clubs. Didn’t feel very safe when I pulled up, but continued inside. The woman behind the desk was…

I dropped by in afternoon as none of the other clubs were open. This place does not have a liquor license and I did not stop by to get BYOB refreshments…

Stopped in at Big Earls to TOFTT. Was there around 5:30 or 6pm. Can only enter headed north on the main road so had to circle around. $10 cover, a bit…

This is the last of the central iowa clubs that I had yet to visit. During the week, the posted opening time is 3pm. Only other option in town…

This is probably one of the worst clubs in the area, and that's saying a lot. It's more of a run down locals bar that happens to have dancers. I actually didn't…

Not many people when i got there, it seemed cheap but everyone was very friendly, i liked it. The place seemed like they never…

Stopped in on a bored afternoon to see what it was since some hole in the wall clubs can turn out to be great, this wasn't necessarily an exception. Cover was $10…

Seems like there is not a lot of good places to visit whenever I have to go to Des Moines (usually about once a year). On my last visit (a few months…

So driving through Des Moines on my way to Colorado, and looking for a place to stop to get a boost of energy. Searched online and chose this place since it…

This place used to be the bomb. Lots of dancers at about any time of day. I used to try to swing in later in the afternoon, but lately it…

It was about 7:00 on a Thursday evening and there wasn't anything else happening, so I stopped by. There several cars in the parking lot, so I decided to stop by. What…

It's a decent club - pretty spartan, but well laid out. We arrived early in the evening just behind a group of about 10 broke-ass college guys. There were a…

Pretty standard strip club in the midwest. No nonsense and down to what matters. 25 for a dance is standard which i think is a fine deal Go later at night when there are more…

Stopped in on a Thursday night. They have changed a few things. Their "winter" hours are now from 3:00 - close instead of Noon, Monday - Sat.…

I decided to go to Big Earl's today and I'm glad I did because I was pleasantly surprised.<br> <br> The last time I went in the afternoon there was only one dancer present and…

I had not been to Big Earls for a while, so I decided to stop in to check it out. I was very pleased to find out that Cameo was…

In on a Monday night, and not very impressed with the 3 black girls working. Two ghetto booty, cow udders for tits, hard sell and pushy babymommas, and one mixed girl…

After a disappointing stop at the minx, decided to give Big Earls a try. This was my first visit and most certainly my last.<br> <br> This may have been my worst (and shortest) visit…

This isn't much to look at from the outside, and I can't say it got better inside. Cover was $10. Upon entering I noticed it was a very small club. Only…

Had not been to Big Earls late at night for quite a while so decided to stop in. It was around 2:00 a.m when I got there, the club was…

Went to Big Earl's on a Saturday afternoon. I used to go to Big Earl's a long time ago. My last couple visits have been consistent. The stage shows…

I decided to try this place after seeing most of the ladies at Minks and Lumberyard. This place is not as nice as the other places. I watched the stage…

This place isn't what it used to be. Haven't been there in about 5 years before I paid a visit recently on a trip to DM. Back in the day, you could…

Of all the clubs in DM, Big Earl's is on the sleazy side, in a good and bad way. Feels like they don't put a lot of money into keeping the place…

I visited this establishment recently on a Sunday evening. I saw five girls there but the dance rotation was only three of the girls and one "first-timer". The other tow sat in…

Went to Big Earl's Goldmine on a Wednesday afternoon. It is the only club open in Des Moines in the early afternoon. The cover is $10. The VIP band is $50. The…

Stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon. There were 4 ladies working, which is a couple more than usually there on a particular afternoon. Had an outstanding time. Had a private dance from…

Please don't go this strip. Everything is fraud not real worth of spending money. Dancers will play cheap tricks to attract for VIP room for 15min-200$, 30min-400$, 1hr-700$. You have pay the…

Not very impressive. This is not a large club, and they've devoted a lot of space to VIP rooms that, at $200 for 15 minutes, are ridiculously overpriced for Iowa.…

This club is definitely all about the VIP room. Find the right girl and you will have a good time there!! Stage is pretty small and depending on what time you're there,…

It has been several years since my last visit to Earl's, but I was driving through and stopped for a rest. The layout was totally different. One of the girls told me…

Since I arrived after 1:00 AM, maybe that is too late for this club. I arrived there and there was one customer sitting with 2 girls. One of the girls, sitting on…

Had not been to one of my favorite DSM hotspots for quite a while so decided to stop by. Saw several familiar faces and a couple of new ones as…

Heard on the radio that one of the dancers has just been in the 2009 copy of Gent magazine so had to stop in and check it out again. It was a…

Went here on a Friday night, pretty packed. Its got a pretty sizeable stage on the south side of the building, with lots of stage seating. We sat at a…

Seeing quite a few cars in the parking lot, I was surprised to see only one customer and a girl sitting together. Who did all those cars belong to? Maybe…

The energy and amount of hot naked chicks was much reduced on this visit. I suspect it was a matter of bad timing. There was really only one girl there…

As far as I'm concerned, this club is about making sure you get the right girl to do the VIP with, because it is a lot of money to spend in the…

It's been a month or so since my visit...and some details have escaped me (like names), but I do remember that I had a great time here, and I'll be back the…

Went last night after a couple of hours at Minx. Girls on thw whole a better looking though there was a fair amount of plastic. Regular dances are pretty mild…

Last few times I have been there have been during the day or rite at 5:00. I have had had an outstanding time each day I was there. The girls are…

I recently visited Big Earls on a weeknight between 6:30 and 7 pm. I expected it to be pretty uncrowded at that time of night, and I was correct. I also…

Stopped in after the State Fair and there were more girls than I had seen before on a day shift which was kinda nice. Of course I got hustled for the VIP…

First of all, this is a BYOB club. But it is limited to unopened beer or wine. Cover is $10. As you enter, the club is on your right, club was remodeled…

Had a great time here Monday night (stop #2) VIP was expensive but worth it. A couple of the dancers were overly aggressive, and a couple seemed to lack a…

Normally this club gets a higher review from me; but when I went in this late afternoon/early evening there were 5 dancers; only one of which looked appealing to me and her…

I had not been to Big Earls for quite a while, I went last Friday nite and had a ball. There were a bunch of new girls that I had…

I am so sorry that DandyDan thinks Des Moines is a hell-hole. NOT TRUE (and no evidence whatsoever was offered.) Des Moines is much like any other small city -…

I said in my earlier review, over a year ago, I wasn't sure I was coming back, but I did anyway. The only real reason to go to Des Moines is…

Had not been to Big Earls for a while, so stopped in, quite a few new girls, all pretty nice. Usually have a feature girl that is…

Much better since the remodeling a couple years ago. The place is BYOB. The VIP dances in the back room may cost a SHYTELOAD ("rent" for the room, plus several…

I came in around 9 pm Tuesday expecting Amateur Night, a regular Tuesday feature. No sign of amateurs, and no mention by the DJ of any amateurs or WHY there were…

On Thursdays they wave the usual $10 admission if you are wearing a same night armband from another club. So I checked it out, you know, for you guys. Bring your own…

Relatively small, but commercial club. Single stage with theater-style seating out front. Dancers were relatively unimpressive--mainly in the 4-7 range. Best looking woman there was the blonde Aussie manager…

They totally redid the club since my last visit sometime last year. The stage is on the south wall of the building, whereas it used to be on the east.…

This place is across the street from the Firestone factory. Great contact, a dollar goes a long way here. And it's byob.

Was at club a short while back, most of the remodel is now done, they now have a VIP section in the back that is very nice. individual areas…

Like someone else said, big changes for Big Earl's Goldmine! The stage has changed walls with one of the VIP rows, so there is no longer any back-stage. The stage is now…

Club is undertaking some major changes. They have built an all new stage. They are also creating some new "VIP" rooms in the back where the feature dressing room used…

Club is a little small, but girls are very friendly. BYOB. Every Tuesday is amateur night, so that's pretty cool. Full nude and great contact in private dances.…

Went back to Big Earl's August 10th, brought the wife... Of course, there was the 10 dollar charge, and when you asked for dollar bills, they gave you 1's instead of 2's.…

Still a very fun place. Good contact with mini-dances, trying to sell the VIP. VIP are excellent, but closely watched, and a little expensive @ $25 per. Music is…

LONG REVIEW I went to Big Earl's on February 28, and then months later on consecutive Saturdays, 6/26 and 7/3. This is an easy club to get to off I-80.…

Not much has changed at Big Earls in the past two years. It's not a bad place to bring a six-pack and watch attractive girls take off their clothes. Although it is…
