I like Bar Tropical a lot. It is affiliated with Hong Kong, but features a much more relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. I spent five days in TJ in September, and hit Tropical at…

Don't be put off by the aggressive hawkers outside of Playboy. It took me until my third trip to TJ to gather up the muster to blow past these guys and see what was…

Chicago Club, unfortunately, is a mere shell of it's former self. It used to be one of the hottest clubs in La Zona Norte, and (even a year or two ago) did provide a good selection…

El Dulce Gabanna is the sleeper club of the year in La Zona Norte in my book. I've been a fan for a couple of years now, ever since I met an incredible 19-year-old…

Las Chavelas is not where you will find a super-hottie trophy dancer to take upstairs. Go to one of the clubs next door for that. But, if you go down that route -…

This is a tourist rip-off joint. Simple as that. You will find it by being approached by a hawker on Ave Revo, and then led under an awning and upstairs into the club. The…

Ugh. Walked in on a Monday night around 10pm. One, somewhat overweight, dancer was sitting at the bar looking at her phone. So I asked the bartender, who was shocked to see a patron…

Awful. I walked in, was frisked, but there was no cover like every time before. Uh oh. What's up? <br> <br> Well, here is what's up. Three dancers. One not dancing on stage. One eating. The other…

The Showbar is affiliated with the other Springfield clubs. There is a similar cover ($5), and drink prices are also around $5 (for a beer). This is obviously a former bar that was…

Marginally shady neighborhood, with an awful parking situation. In a nutshell, if you intend on getting a lapper, park on the street. Which means you will oftentimes be walking a block to your…

The Fifth Alarm is hit or miss. More often miss than hit.<br> <br> That has been the case the past few visits. First, the parking lot. The extended Winter has seemingly pushed the homeless…

I hope today was not indicative of the direction the Electric Blue is going. I walked in, paid the $5 cover, and sat down at the bar. The usual gaze of a dozen dancers was…

The first words out of my mouth once I have entered Mexico as are always the same, and are always directed at a cab driver. "Ad- el- lee- tah.....five dollares?" This phrase is…

The best strip joint I have been to. Ever. I walked across the border from San Ysidro to Tijuana at midnight. Hopped a $5 cab to the Zona Norte and walked into Hong Kong.…

Why do I stop by here? I ask this every time I stop in. The answer is that it is convenient; I visit Southington twice a month on Friday mornings and am heading…

Could it get any worse? Yes, it can. This place just continues its' slide. Unfortunately for me, I continue to stop in every month or so because I am in the neighborhood…

I am really starting to like this club. I walked in on a Friday afternoon, and sat at the bar. Within a couple of minutes a dancer sat next to me and went…

As I read a prior review, I like the "one-beer hourglass" strategy here; where a poster stated that if after one beer nothing has tickled his fancy, he leaves. That's a great rule - especially at…

I'm not a big fan of the Mardi Gras II, I therefore only visit once or twice a year (despite that it is arguably the closest strip joint to my home). Here's what I've found.…

For the life of me, I can't figure it out...but I never feel comfortable here. I just cannot put my finger on it (no pun intended). I walked in, paid a cover to a very…

Apparently, if it is slow early in the evening at Scores, the dancers leave. So, if it was slow earlier than when you arrive, there are only a few (generally lesser quality) women. I found this out…

This was my first visit to Mario's - which I had read quite a bit about on the internet. Me likey. I walked in during the late afternoon, there was no cover. I was quickly attended…

This place really depends on the dancer(s). I've have literally been going to the Fifth Alarm (on and off) for 25 years! It has always been the biggest dive strip joint in Springfield,…

I really don't like Scores. Right up the street is Fifth Alarm - which is seedier (believe it or not). So, if I'm feeling seedy (which is often) I head there first. In the…

I have been visiting EB for a decade. Right now, I don't feel the love as I used to. It is pretty much the same, but I think the general lap dance routine has gotten…
