Reviews

I haven't done a Playhouse review for a while, so here's an update in plus/minus format.

PLUS

• Mileage, mileage, mileage. YMMV, but only from good to extreme.

• Core of experienced dancers who know how to tease…

A long time gone from this club which I used to patronize regularly in the late 90's. No matter, because not much changes, other than the expensive Rama Room and extended LD area. Some of…

The review by Kong brought the memories flooding back- the old building across the street, Ace the manager, the DeVilles, Angel, Julie... I'm getting misty-eyed already.

The new building opened in 1989- gawd, 18 years ago-…

My first visit last winter was a disaster, as you can read in my December 4, 2006 review. This one, on a 95 degree day, didn't start out any better as the club was dead-…

South Florida seems to have an abundance of gentlemen's clubs and a similar number of dives, with the first group gaining influence, ref. Mirages replacing the Peek-A-Boo in West Palm and the new Tootsies in…

A totally unique feature is the balcony on the front where you can just hang out and watch the always colorful scene on Duval Street below. On this November evening I went out there a…
