    The Blockist had been absent from the Circus for a while, so he visited last week for an update. What could possibly go wrong, he asked himself? Most of the regular Circus performers were present,...

    The Blockist hadn't visited the Jewel Box for some time so decided to make a stop on a slow Tuesday. Not much changes - the gritty Block feel, Vince the bartender, marginally variously attractive...

    The Blockist strays from his home port of Baltimore about once a year to commune with Motown buddies. This wasn't his first visit to Hthe8, remembering that each visit was less satisfying than the...

    The Pussycat is one of the few Block bars with a history extending back into the early years - only 2 owners in the over 50 years of the Blockist's tenure as visitor, reviewer,...

    The Red Room is one of the Block's most consistently patron-friendly clubs DURING THE DAY. Like most clubs, its personality usually reflects the personality of the shift management. The Blockist has found that nights...

    The Blockist remembers when this was an upscale venue with really great dancers and tolereant bartenders. Recently, the Jewel Box has become just another door on the street. Some bartender/managers are better than others...

    Each week brings a new dimension to the transformation being undertaken by the Hustler Club owners to the downstairs Little Darlings club. The latest was perhaps the most amazing... the Blockist visited about a...

    Taps are in order. The sometimes brilliant, often maligned Flamingo is no more. As of today, the basement club that was once the men's room of the Gaiety Theatre - purchased a while back...

    After quite a long time near the bottom, Circus has drifted to the top of the Blockist's list. Laid back, good attitude check, mix of dancer and entertainment styles, bartender with 50+ years of...

    I've reviewed Joe's Place in the past. Things tend to be more somewhat more variable at this club that in a lot of other Block clubs. By this I mean that some clubs are...

    The Blockist returned for his annual Motown visit, and naturally stopped for "lunch" at The Room. It seems that some of the intimacy/privacy of the VIP room has diminished with the removal of the...

    The Blockist has developed an affection for Bogart's over the past several years on his annual pilgrimage to Motown. I hung out (figure of speech) for an hour or so looking at the talent...

    In reviewing my reviews, it appears that I have been slighting the Flamingo in favor of some other clubs. Although I'm "down the Block" fairly regularly and visit most of the clubs occasionally, I...

    As always, the atmosphere at any of the Block clubs can depend greatly on the time you visit, and staff changes are the norm. This club is as up-and-down as any club on the...

    It's unusual for the Blockist to be out after dark - needing my beauty sleep as much as I do puts me in an early-to-bed mode most of the time. However, I did an...
