Hard pass
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 a blond mature…

Should be known as Big Earl's Foolsgold Mine
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 so I had…

Big Bang Fear-y
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 steep. Juice and…

First , maybe last visit
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 is Minx for…

Worth another chance I guess
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 see anyone dancing…

Regular hole in the wall.
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 and the club…

OK place for the area
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 ago), I stopped…

Slim Pickings at Big Earls
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 was right off…

Seems like things have gone downhill
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 is so slow…

Don't go early
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 a waste of…

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 number of lookers…

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 dancers around.
Location is…

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 with kinda light…

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>

This may have been my worst (and shortest) visit to a club…

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 one stage and…

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 nice. But the…
