I had visited on Saturday, Feb 20th... Upon entry, I was greeted by the female bartender and sat at the right of the bar (in front of the lap dance booths). I had ordered a beer and was greeted by a spinner- type, olive complexion, brunette dancer (sorry, I can't remember her name) coming from out of the dancers' bathroom... Surprisingly, no initial "buy me a drink" hustle. She had (just) rubbed my back, whispered in my ear, simply... "Hello." And, soon after, sat down and counted her money (I assume, she had just finished a dance set and her dollar parade). Afterwards, she had tucked away her money in a small bag, and then, scooted (shuffled) her stool closer to me for some brief conversation and... THE BLOCK handshake. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.... very NICE (of course, with this type of a detailed attention, I had to buy her a drink)! ;-) Our conversation was so brief (and lame, I suppose), she immediately got up from her stool and proceeded to give me a lap dance at the bar (RCG). Nawwwwwwwwwww.... (not lame). She had probably sensed my intense interests and desires for MORE..?! lol Low and behold, I was encouraged (with her hands in mine) to explore and touch every inch of her petite & sexy figure. The female bartender noticed the fun and came over with, THE BLOCK etiquette... "Would you like to buy the lady another drink?" Of course... :-) After one sip of her second drink... she pulls her stool closer to me, sits down, faces me and straddles her open legs over mine (and then, slides her g-string to the side, for me to have a private view of the kitty... wow)! Again, she had encouraged (her hands in mine) to touch and explore. She then unzips my pants, for a more personal block handshake... At this point, I had to look around and across the room, for crowd control (security, bartenders, other patrons, etc) to see if anyone else had noticed what was going on.... Believe it or not, not really. I mean, everyone else seemed to be very much consumed in their own duties and/or interests... (also, some other guy, on the other side of the bar, was DFK'n another dancer... but, whatever... lol)! All of this and... there was NO agreed TIP amount... (although, she did mention, "Please take good care of me and I will definitely take good care of YOU"). Well, I do suppose that I have a very likeable disposition and an honest face, for such valet service..?! :-) Nevertheless, back to the lapper details........... I had reached into my back pocket for my wallet, got out the "JIMMY" hat and discreetly, slid it on... She smiled and said, "That's extra..." Why? Of course... absolutely! Wallet out, I gave her a Grant... (agreed)! A long story short, (1) Grant and (2) dancer bought drinks, later... (you do the math). I had left the barside a satisfied customer! :-) Up the stairs, around the corner into the $7 (late night) parking garage, enroute back to the crib. As always, YMMV... FLAMINGO LOUNGE is a much visit on THE BLOCK.

I was at Ballpark a couple of weeks ago. And, there was a thick, strawberry- blonde, MILF- type dancer there... What is her name? Help, anyone?? I do apologize, I have forgotten her name... I plan to visit, again. Not the greatest dancer (looks wise, but very accomodating, otherwise). Nevertheless, I was there around 10pm on a Saturday night... Now, I hadn't been to BP, since the lapdance area had merged into one (with the two sofas visible to all, inside). After evaluating the four dancers onstage (and the barside dollar parades), I was approached by a slender brunette, looks to be in her mid- 30's (sorry, I can't remember her stage mame, either. And, BP doesn't formally introduce the dancers). Needless to say, I am usually, more concerned with surfing the talent for the BestGFE mileage, than catching names... although, next time, I will make a few mental notes. I had declined private dances with the brunette (she seemed like a ROB, too evasive in conversation). Eventually, I was approached by the thick, MILF strawberry- blonde... Her barside demeanor was very promising... She quoted $20/song, if I had chose to purchase 2 or more lappers... So, off we go to the lap dance room... We start off on the sofa, facing the door, very sensual (at first, nothing over-the-top). Of course, I was interested in MORE... Her, sensing the feelings of my desires, she suggested that we move over to the other sofa (for more privacy)... A long story short (2 songs, .90 later), Mr Happy got some air. And, I left, satisfied. Three Questions...? 1) What is the name of the thick, strawberry- blonde MILF dancer? 2) Are the dances .20/song or .30/song (day or night)? 3) Most of the time, I visit at night... Who are the GFE dancers on the night shift? The reason that I have asked the question about the lapper prices, is because, there were signs posted on the walls that quoted, "$20/per song." But, when approached by the brunette, she said, "Those prices are ONLY on the day shift." Was she tryna hustle me or what...? Hmmmmmmmmm?? Let me know... She kinda blew my buzz, no pun intended... (lol)!

I had visited this club on a Tuesday night, around 9 pm... A pretty big club (very spacious)... There were about 10 females dancing (ranging from hispanic, caucasian and light- skinned african american)... The crowd is of a mixed variety, as well. But, it tends to cater to foreigners, more or less; which, is cool. So, all different and various races should feel safe and comfortable patronizing this establishment... Also, parking is plentiful in the front of the building (monitored by Prince Georges County's finest). You are physically (and wand) searched, upon entry (no cell phones with cameras are allowed, inside). Admission is $20... (change returned, rolled into increments of $10/dollar singles). A BYOB club... (but, they do sell sodas, juices and water, for $3/can soda or bottled water). There is a large elevated (main) center stage. And, a smaller one to the rear of the main stage (unused on my visit). The main stage is surrounded by chairs, for those interested in a upclose and personal view of the nude entertainment... In the open room, are additional chairs, where individual lapdances are performed... To the left and right of the main stage is the VIP section (not private). The VIP section is separated from the open room, by brass rails (in FULL VIEW of the main stage and EVERYONE in the club)... To the (right) rear of the club, is a separate dark room, for private lapdances... (security guarded, but not monitored). Lapdance prices are, as follows: Open Room Lapdances.... $10/song. VIP Lapdances.......... $10 and up/song (you must buy a VIP band for you and your dancer = $20). Private Lapdances...... $30 and up/song (you must buy a VIP band for you and your dancer = $20). Note: If your dancer, already has a VIP wristband, you only have to pay $10 for your VIP wristband). The VIP wristbands are a one- time $10 charge... You do the math, a private lapdance is gonna set you back $50 for the first song. As always, your mileage may vary... (word of advice, negotiate lapdance costs, prior to lapper). Altogether, it was a okay club... Now, if you are looking for high mileage? I had gotten the impression that it is available, but it's gonna COST ya... (wink)! The looks and quality of the dancers were average. IMHO, I didn't see any dimes... (but, of course, to each his own)... Take a visit and... You look, touch and decide... (but, if you TOUCH dat ass - you had better TIP dat ass)! There is a live DJ, but the music sounded distorted. But, loud enough to hear and understand the lyrics of your favorite "booty shakin" and "RnB" riffs... Overall, the $10 (open room) lappers are a great value... But, if you are the "shy guy" and have a problem with others close and watching you getting a lapdance; then, this probably isn't your ideal option. Have fun! ;-)

There were a decent amount of dancers (about 10-15 entertainers)... Upon entry, I was greeted with the traditional, "What do you want to drink" routine from the bartender... She was quite nice to me, though (older lady, blonde hair). And then, immediately, I was snuggled up with a dancer (for a few moments)... Of course, I was asked by the bartender, "Would you like to buy the lovely lady a drink?" I had declined... and replied, "Maybe later? I just got here..." She (the bartender) waved the dancer away and told me to let her know if I wanted to talk to any of the ladies (she then, proceeded to explain the bar procedure, tip protocol, etc. Although, I was already familiar with the Block etiquette). She (the bartender) chatted me up, for a lil bit... (real nice and cool). And, let me be... After a few moments (and checking out the club and entertainment), I had decided to buy a $20 drink for "Harmony." She said, "This is my first week, here." I had just thought, "Yea, right?! Whatever...?" She seemed pretty cool, though, for the most part. Although, we could barely make conversation, due to the loud music and couple (dancer and client) next to me... Dude, was all over her and she was all over him... Harmony, then asks, "Do you wanna (ummmmmm) sexy dance and have a lot of fun? More FUN than those two?!" Bingo! She is now making sense and making conversation worth paying attention to (suddenly, the music didn't seem so loud)... ;-) Of course, I replied... And then, I had asked, "How much is that (FUN) gonna cost me?" She replied, "Your time.... (sidebar: Now, she has become a GREAT conversationalist)!" :-) We proceeded to the walled- off, lapdance area... (after I had paid for the $110 bottle). Let just say, I was HAPPY and left with a smile on my face (I didn't hafta hit any other Block clubs, thereafter)... Of course, YMMV. :-) Believe it or not, no tip was requested... (Remember: The Block handshake is customary). The Block clubs vs Red Room is difficult to rate, dancer quality looks wise (outside of Larry Flint's Hustler Club, which has a much higher dancer quality). Although, most of the The Block dancer quality is pretty much the same... But, the hustle factor at the Red Room (IMHO) is a lot less of a hastle versus its competitors... (and that, widely separates the Red Room from its competition)... The atmosphere is good. Drink prices, average. The attitudes of the dancers are great. And, more importantly, you won't feel robbed or the smell of cheap perfume, upon leaving... Enjoy!

As always, an enjoyable time at Red's... (no doubt)! Although, I hadn't visited this club in awhile (not in the area), the excitement is unmatched... A couple of regular dancers (i.e., Brooke seemed kinda out of it, this night... dozing at the bar, anti-sociable, etc... is she on something, now? But, nevertheless, Brie and a couple of other regular Reds dancers looked GREAT)... A lot of new dancers, as well... (16 dancers, altogether). On this night, I met Amy... Now TUSCL (and Reds Angels frequenters), if you haven't had a chance to meet and experience Amy, you are definitely at a loss... The school girl glasses and all. :-) Guys, Amy is a female porn star... (check out her movie clip on BangBros - Bang Bus, "Slippery When Wet" on March 25, 2009... a shameless plug). She has a couple of other movies (right now, the titles have slipped my memory). And, it will definitely give you a newfound fondness of having private dances at Reds... (wink)! Have fun and... Enjoy!

This is a pretty nice club, overall... I am a frequent strip club goer, nationwide (from Maryland, Pa, Jersey to WVa - to name a few)... Now, with that said, I would like to add, I post reviews based on my personal SC experience(s). Although, I do enjoy the strip club atmosphere and viewing beautiful women getting naked; more often than none, I prefer the erotic lapdance fantasy, overall. IMHO, this makes for a better strip club experience and visit... (not the size of the club or its drink prices - there are other places that I would frequent or go to, for those types of entertainment). Thus, I am NOT one these SC reviewers that will post, "I had enjoyed the show, the inexpensive drinks were great, the club decor was nice and/or the dancer conversation(s) were very comforting..." Read no further, if you are expecting that, here... (lol)! Seriously, ladies and gentelmen... Taking your clothes off, swinging around a metal pole and shaking your ass to the hard core riffs of heavy metal and/or rap music is not really entertainment (a show). Drink prices are not a true issue, either (because, I do not visit strip clubs, budget conscience). And, who actually cares about the club decor, as long as it doesn't smell like urine and you can see your way to the private lapdance area and/or you have a decent view of the stage performances... (besides, it is pretty hard to hold a conversation with a dancer, when the music is loud, the lights are flashin' and there are numerous half- naked women walking around you)... You feel me? Btw, "What kind of dude goes to a strip club and doesn't want xtras?" That's a different kinda... (lol)! Nevermind, disregard that question... I, digress. :-) I was directed to this club, while visiting Platinum Plus in Columbia, SC... According, to a Platinum Plus dancer (name unknown), HeartBreakers is a safe haven for the Platinum Plus rejects. (NOTE: I couldn't help but chuckle at such arrogance... It only communicated FUN, for me) Nevertheless, upon arrival at HeartBreakers, I was given change in $2 bills, which was quite interesting, at first; but, later understood... (to iniate the $2 stage dance tips). Unlike PP, I wasn't immediately bum-rushed for lappers by the dancers (which, can be quite annoying, especially when you are not interested or, at least, greeted with a "Hello" and/or a smile or a dancer name). Also, the dancer(s) attitude when declined for dancers at PP, is a definite "buzz-kill." Actually, when I had walked in HB's, it was a totally different attitude and demeanor, amongst the dancers... I had sat down (a waitress quickly hooked me up with a 75 cent beer). Then, a dancer, soon thereafter, a nice-looking brunette, sat down with me and asked my name (with some light conversation). No hustle for a lapdance. After checking out the club & the dancers and finishing my two beers, I was ready to experience the talent. IMHO, there were all different types (flavors) of dancers... (something for everyone, I would think). Also, there were very sexy and just as pretty HeartBreakers dancers, as there were at Platinum Plus; although, I was lead to believe, otherwise. I chose a blonde, around 5'7 with a lovely face and a sexy figure... At this club; unlike, what I am used to in Maryland, Pa, NJ and the WVa area (set prices), she sweetly started the negotiations with 2 songs for $30... Being the "SC Afficionado" that I am, I cut the chase and said, "How 'bout, I give you $110. And, you give me a few sensual and sexy (full contact) lapdances." She agreed and... off we go! (NOTE: No number of dances were set... Be advised, your results may vary) Luckily, for me, there was no one in the private lapdance area... We chose the booth area, at the far end of the room... She whispered in my ear (with a kiss), complimented me on my Gucci cologne smell, as I sat down and quickly got comfortable (adjusted, myself). Then, she immediately went into her dance routine. Very nice... She then pulled her G- string panties to the side, I took a good look and she (surprisingly) invited me to touch... Wow! A couple of gentle strokes, followed by a slow descent onto my lap. Hmmmmmmmmmm (chuckles), "I wonder how my zipper had become undone?!" Approximately, 15 minutes later... We had departed the (empty) lapdance area... (me, with a unexpected drycleaner bill). And, us both very happy and satisfied... ;-) As always, YMMV. I will definitely revisit... (I have now found a new HOT spot in Columbia, SC)... Highly recommended.

Stopped in this club after a late dinner with some friends from out of town... After I had dropped my friends off, I had decided to check this joint out. Very convenient! There was a nice selection of dancers. I had two drinks with a curvy, but fit, black girl. I asked her about the VIP area, but she didn't really push it, so I let it go. I will stop by this club again, when my friends come back in town. I think the variety of girls, along with the location away from the block clubs, make this a good spot? We shall see...

Overall, decent club.... The problem with JB's is... The lapdance value. (1) Considering, you're approximately a 10 minute drive (with traffic) away from Reds Angels, that offers a less expensive and more private lapdance session. (2) The quality of the dancers varies per visit. But, can be equivalent to the dancers currently at Reds (be advised, the same entertainers, more likely than none have worked at Reds, at one point or another). I had visited this club on a Saturday night, around 1am and the place had about 5 dancers and 5 customers. Now, this wouldn't be the problem if all of the dancers were circulating the club and not in the dancers dressing room doing whatever. Fortunately, there was a familiar dancer from Reds there, so I was cool. I had a good private dance, but I couldn't help but think for about 20 bucks less, I couldve had a more private and personable dance at Reds Angels. Although, JBs is bigger in size, it wasn't the difference (deal maker). The place lacks the excitement of a Gentlemens Club. It's like a neighborhood bar that happens have naked women dancing on stage... (with that said, its very difficult to gauge and rate this place as good or bad). Now, if you're the kind of a guy that likes to drink a few beers and check out some decent looking chicks that strip to the riffs of rap, RnB and some heavy metal music (without a big crowd), then this would definately be your place. The private dances range from semi- private to private, but you pay a little bit more for the latter. On the other hand, if you want to have a few drinks with the same kinds of music (with a larger crowd and more dancers), then Reds is your place. A smaller club. The dances are a little less expensive and more private. And, you have a bigger selection of entertainers, that usually transulates to a better value and private lapdance experience for your hard earned dollars. You decide. I had enjoyed JBs and... I will be back. Sometimes, I do enjoy the quiet search for the diamond in the rough... And, I don't mind spending the extra cash.

I am about to give a little bit of strip club "GAME" to some of you lames and new strip club hobbyists... The basic "5 Step Blueprint" to high mileage at a Gentlemen's Club. Lesson 1: All strip clubs that offer VIP champagne rooms and/or private booth lapdances, offer high mileage... (Note: When searching for a high mileage strip club... Unless, you have the time, the gentlemens club expertise and a lot extra $'s to toss around, buyer beware of strip clubs without VIP rooms and/or private booth lappers. And, enter those establishments at your own risks... As always, YMMV). Lesson 2: Never pay for a HJ... (because, "extras" are customary). (Note: Extras = HJ's, kissing, fondling, etc. All of which, are a start and enhancement to your high mileage lapdances. Thus, an "extra" given at the dancers' discretion... NO tipping required... Mileage = DATY, all inclusive GFE lapdances, nude lapdances with "extra" attention, etc.; all of which, warrant a reasonable 40% - 50% gratuity). Lesson 3: Never tip upfront... (Note: This is the oldest dancer trick, lapdance chicanery and scheme in the history of the gentlemens club... Tipping upfront is a bad practice. And, it immediately communicates to the stripper that you are a SUCKER... an easy victim for all lapdance con- artists. By the way, if a stripper states, "I haven't made any money, tonight..." Avoid this entertainer, altogether; because, there is a reason for her "no dollar" dancing demise. And, it always proves to be at an undesired result, via the strip club hobbyists expense... Don't even bother trying to figure it out... just avoid this dancer, immediately... Remember, "If a stripper offers high mileage, her night is always lucrative..." Use your common sense) Lesson 4: Well- groomed. Always dress clean, casual and comfortable... (Commando- style, can be a plus). (Note: Two splashes of a Gucci cologne or any expensive spray/fragrance, for that matter, will definitely increase your chances at high mileage lappers... Most dancers enjoy the expensive smell of a well- groomed man, while they're entertaining within their dirty dancing deeds... Although, this is definitely NOT the dealmaker, it shall surely increase your chances at high mileage. And, sometimes add fuel for interesting dancer-to-customer relation). Ironically, enough... Be advised, the less attractive the dancer, the more (better) mileage offered...) ;-) Lastly. And, more importantly... Lesson 5: NEVER tip a dancer more than 40% - 50% of your total VIP room and/or private booth lapdance costs. (Note: In restaurants, a waitress or waiters gratuity is 15% - 20% per total cost of meal(s), for acceptional service. And, CraigList Adult Providers and Massage Therapists complete services via 120 - 150 mph; both of which, can be described as paid "professionals...") In short, most half hour private lapdances are already valued above & beyond the costs given to paid professionals. Gentlemen... The bottom line is... Refrain from outrageous tipping practices within the VIP room sessions and/or private lapdance booths... Extend your high $ appreciation to the dancers via strip club stage performances (before and/or after your lapper experience). Therefore, the fun and "private" room sessions given to the frequent gentlemens club hobbyists are continued and rightfully preserved within the strip club industry... No disrepect... But, should anyone dispute the more than reasonable 40% - 50% gratuity for high mileage lapdances, they are either a Pimp or a "con- artist" stripper... (Note: Pimps and "con- artists" strippers should stay in their lane on the streets of prostitution)! By all means, take care of your entertainers and always tip accordingly... (dancers should appreciate gratuity)! And, frequent strip clubbers (and future SC hobbyists) should control the Gentlemens Club experience! "Be safe... And, HAVE FUN"

Off the subject... (but neccesary)! I am going to give some of you lames or new guys "game" on how to get high "mileage" at a strip club. The reason for my releasing of this valuable information (for free), is because, slowly (but surely) some of you SUCKERS are destroying the strip club value, for the frequent Strip Club Hobbyists. I am releasing this information on the review for Reds, first... (Reds is my ATF WVa strip club)... :-) Lesson 1: All NUDE strip clubs that offer private rooms/private booth lapdances, offer high mileage... (Note: There are some pasties and topless lapdance clubs that offer extras & mileage, as well; but, unless you have the time, the strip club expertise and/or strip club "game." Of course, with a lot $'s to toss around, buyer beware and... enter at your own risks. Also, YMMV). Lesson 2: Never pay for a HJ and/or extras... (they are customary). (Note: Extras = HJ's, kissing, fondling, etc. All of which, are to enhance and to increase your lapdance pleasures. Thus, an "extra" at dancer discretion... NO tipping required. Mileage = all inclusive GFE lapdances, nude lapdances with "extra" attention, etc. always warrant a 40% tip). Lesson 3: Never tip upfront... (Note: This is the oldest stripper chicanery, trick and scheme in the history of Gentlemen's Clubs... Tipping upfront is a bad practice. And, it immediately communicates to a stripper that you are a SUCKER... (an easy victim for a con- artist). By the way, if a stripper states, "I haven't made any money, tonight..." Avoid this one, because there is a reason for her dancing "no dollar" demise. And, it always proves to be at some suckers costs, an undesired result. Don't even try to figure it out... avoid. Remember, "If the dancer offers high mileage, her night is always lucrative..." Use your common sense). Lesson 4: Well- groomed. Always dress clean, casual and comfortable... (Commando- style, a plus). (Note: A splash of Gucci cologne or any spray or fragrance of an expensive smell will definitely increase your chances of high(er) mileage... Strippers enjoy the nice and expensive aroma of a man within their dirty deeds - no fun intended... This is definitely NOT the dealmaker, but it will increases your chances for high mileage. And, sometimes make for interesting "starter" conversation). Ironically, the less attractive the stripper - the most (better) mileage offered... ;-) Lastly. And, more importantly... Lesson 5: You should NEVER tip a stripper more than 40% of your total private lapdance costs. (Note: In restaurants, a waiter or waitress is tipped 15% - 20% of a meal, for acceptional service. And, on the average, CraigList Adult Providers and Massage Therapists complete services via 120 mph... (but, both of which, can be described as paid "professionals")... In short, for those of you that are mathematically challenged... This means, in example, 3 song private lapdances = $50, you should tip $20, total: $70. Helpful hint: multiply 50 times 4 = 200, then drop a zero; thus, $50 at 40% = $20... Use this philosophy, when tipping for high mileage... And, have fun! This completes the "5 Step Basic Blueprint to High(er) Mileage at a Strip Club." I was in Red's this past weekend, after a long retreat. And, I was shocked with the increase in tips that "my fav" dancers were stating receiving from some of you new guys and lame customers... New Guys and Lames, "You are getting ripped off, if you are tipping $50 - $100, per lapdance session!" Buyer Beware... No matter how good a stripper states, "I'm the BEST in private..." She is looking for a large $ reward. Red's, by far, is one of the best lapdance value club in the nation... (second to Palace in the Pines in Ohio)... And, it is slowly becoming "RIPOFF's Angels" due to the increasing ignorance. Thus, my "5 Step Blueprint..." No disrepect... But, if anyone should dispute the more than reasonable 40% gratuity for high mileage lappers, they are either a Pimp or a disgruntled Stripper... (and should change their occupation)! Keep Red's Angels fun! And, keep the value amongst Hobbyists and/or StripClub Goers alive. The new dancers are taking the value (fun) out of this club, with overpriced & unfilfilled private lapdance "dreams." Remember, this is a "Gentlemen's Club..." And, the gentlemen rule the tip exchange, not the dancers... Always tip, accordingly... (never tip upfront or above and beyond a 40% gratuity)! Let's continue to maintain a reasonable and fun experience at Red's Angels... (Note: Dancers any more $'s is... prostitution. So, reconsider and adjust your demands)!

I had visited this club on a Saturday night... There were about 5 dancers and a few customers. Now, upon walking in the club you have to pay the bar $10 cover and buy a soda (or BYOB)... Pretty settled atmosphere... (too quiet and a bit too settled for my idea of a strip club, though... But, whatever)! Dances are $20 for 4 minutes (timed) in a open room in the back of the club. IMHO, the club size is small, but has the potential of being large (experience wise). If they would install booths for private lapdances, like most of the clubs in Pa, their business would increase substantially... The dancers aim to please in the lapdance department, but are limited to expression while performing... (the bartender watches and enforces the no touch rule, every 45 seconds of your lapper; which, can be very discouraging). So, don't expect alot of mileage, unless you're the very skilled strip clubber. Or, have a very skilled dancer that you've negotiated the worthwhile coin... Nevertheless, it's a pretty chilled and inexpensive experience. I'll be back, because I'm the very skilled strip clubber... (wink)! But, YMMV... Have fun! Note: Mgmt install booths... (and watch your business increase)!

Visited Mitzi's on a Saturday night.... Overall: Just... OK! First off all, it's in the Hagerstown Maryland area. And, unless you're familiar with the Hagerstown Md, it can be quite a challenging place to find... (but, I know my way around)! ;-) Now, with all that said, here's the club info... Cover charge: $10 (BYOB) Now, the $10 cover charge is reasonable (IMHO), considering it's a BYOB club... Although, the ripoff factor of the $10 cover charge is, you must surrender your drinks to the bar/bartender for storage and buyback, upon entry... Yes, you have to give your beverages to the bar/bartender and re- purchase (for a couple of $'s) your previously store bought beverages from the club's bar/bartender... Now, gentlemen... I have visited quite a few strip clubs in Fla, NC, SC, Ky, Tenn, Ohio, NY, NJ, Pa, WVa, DC, Va and Md; and, this is by far the first (and only) time that I've ever witnessed such a practice... (shame on you, Mitzi's)! Now, I'm NOT one to complain... And, never will I. Or, have I ever complained about spending money at a Gentlemen's Club; because, quite honestly, I do enjoy spending money for quality strip club entertainment and fun... Ultimately, that's the idea and plan... Right?? But, to require a customer to buyback their own pre- purchased drinks is just downright rude and ridiculous, IMHO! Although, that isn't the biggest (pisser- offer) of the buyback factor... What really irritates and gets you upset is, the Bartender (and a couple of the Dancers) find this practice (the drink buyback factor), somehow, cost efficient... For who? And, in what persons mind does that make any kind of sense?? I mean, maybe for the strip club owner(s) revenue factor; but, definitely not for the strip club patrons perspective... (Dancers Note: Ladies, be advised, the drink buyback factor eventually takes away from a lot of your tip earnings... Oh! And, bartenders tips are included)! Quick Note: Management/Bartenders & Dancers, please exclude your BYOB Buyback Policy! If not, at least, STOP trying to convince customers that such a practice is legitimate... (that's just NOT cool)! Because, what you're really doing is insulting the customers common sense. And, creating a "rip- off feel" for any new and/or future customers... I mean, at least let the customer(s) get a feel for your club, prior to you blatantly "nickel and diming" them, upon entry! I mean, I do understand, you're in the business of making money. But, please remember that guys/girls come into your establishment to (willingly) spend money, so there's no need to enforce such a buyback policy to generate revenue... It's borderline, insulting... :-) Club atmosphere: 8 Mitzi's is a small and pretty decent looking place on the inside... The outside doesn't have a lot to be desired... (IMHO)! But, really... "Who cares about what the joint looks like on the outside? Of course, if there's ample (enough) parking. And, if the location is safe and clean, most will be satisfied..." Area: Safe. Location: Decent. Bottom line: Mitzi's, from the inside, has the potential of being a GREAT club... Although, it only has (1) private dance room... It does have plenty of seating... A couple of pool tables (if, you're the type of individual that comes to a strip club to play pool)... Go figure? And, the DJ plays the latest of various tunes requested by the Dancers (the music may vary, from Rap to Rock and a lil bit of Country). All in all, the Dancers were very sweet. And, most of them had a very pleasant attitude; which, in turn, created a pretty GOOD club atmosphere. Dancers: 7.5 Although, there were only 4 Dancers, during my visit... (so, consider that to be a pretty generous Dancer rating)... No disrespect (to the Dancers)! Although, there weren't many dancers to choose from. Or, to give a legitimate rating... Besides, the demeanor of the 4- dancer(s) was sweet and down-to-earth; which, in turn, over- compensated for any dancer flaws or defaults... I go to Mitzi's, mainly because, it's a convenient stop when I'm enroute to my favorite gentlemen clubs in the Pittsburgh and WVa (Morgantown, Clarksburg WVa) area. Of course, with the hopes of stumbling across a "Diamond in the Rough at Mitzi's..." Bottom line: Fun can be had within the club limits; but, the chances are very (very) far and few, YMMV... Unless, you are a regular or a familiar face (or, know your way around), again YMMV... Some of us, that have the quick and keen ability (time and $'s) to efficiently find your way around, you will probably leave Mitzi's happy... ;-) Honorable mention: Dancer (MILF), Angel... (A very fun person and dancer... Now, she may NOT be the shiniest penny or the best looking Dancer in the building; but, she can be quite fun)! Private dances: 4.5 Now, gentlemen... Private Dances... This is the real downfall. And, will eventually be the self- destruction of Mitzi's! The private dances at this club can set you back, $40/dance... (No specials)! Although, I do believe that you may be able to negotiate (with the right Dancer), for a lower- priced multiple song dance requests (but, I have always been under the impression, the $40/dance price is rule)... Now, your results may vary... (but again, I'm the "SC_Afficionado;" so, I have always found my way around)! ;-) Bottom line: $40/dance is a few $'s above and beyond the average and standard price for a private dance, nationwide (even within WVa dance price standards - lol)... I mean, I've visited many of the most lavish and upscale strip clubs, nationwide. And, even they don't charge that much, per dance... At Mitzi's, you must pay the bar/bartender for your private dance(s), prior to receiving them... Now, your private dance(s) are given in a small room in the side/rear of the club (near the bathroom, by the pool tables), to include, one chair and a spycam... This room door is always closed and/or locked... By the time, the dancer is given the key (to unlock the room) for access. And, you've walked from the bar to the private room, 30 seconds of your song/dance has already expired (Note: the average song is about 3.5 mins)... Be advised, upon entry into the private room, the dancer has to leave the door half- opened (club rule). No one can (really) see you, receiving your private dance; although, there is always a possibility... (Note: The upside is, there is never a bouncer/security personnel watching your dance... But, be advised, there IS a spycam, within the room)... Nevertheless, please know, "$80 for 2 songs is a must for a (potentially) GOOD private dance at Mitzi's..." Thus, the potential is there that you'll leave with the feeling of being ripped off, afterwards, YMMV... (from the beverage buyback to the private dance purchases)! Note: My next comment is for the Management/Owner of Mitzi's... We all know, Mitzi's is the only strip club in the Hagerstown/Frederick Maryland area... But, in 2009 and beyond, please refrain from abusing the power (monopoly) that your have in that local strip club arena... Instead, please consider and/or execute these strip club suggestions, policies and/or procedures... (coming from a faithful and consistent patron)! Ultimately, I do believe that my suggestions would generate more $'s for your estabishment and its employees. Of course, if you were to consider, the following: (1) Eliminating the beverage buyback factor... (Note: It doesn't make consumer sense for a customer to pay a $10 cover charge; and then, turn around and surrender BYOB to the bartender, for a later purchase). I mean, even if, the bartender IS keeping the club patrons drinks on ice... I mean, can you make your customers feel more welcomed and not robbed, upon entry... (use the bartender, putting the customers drinks on ice, as an iniative and an x- factor for re- visiting or frequenting your establishment)?! I've always assumed, the idea for a gentlemen's club (your business) is to attract numerous, future and consistent patronage? Not for the one- time customer consumption and/or visit... (never to return)?! (2) Reduce the private dance prices... (Note: An idea... 2 dances for $45. 3 dances for $55, etc... Or, a 2 or 3 song special, on the hour). Generally, with those prices, everyone wins (the Customers, the Dancers and the Management/Owner)... The Customer Win = reasonable private dance prices, creating an iniative to spend more $'s, without feeling ripped off and unhappy... (which, in turn, transulates into numerous private dance purchases). Thus, frequent club visits and club referrals, etc. The Dancer Win = More private dance requests/purchases equals more money earned (along with plentiful tips)... All this will stem from the reasonable (multiple) dance prices... While, in turn, it can create a revenue (tips) for the DJ and bartenders, as they communicate the strip club patrons requests or orders for a private dance with a particular dancer(s)... More private dances = more money earned. (3) The Management/Owner wins from all of the above... The more customers that visit the club, creates an increase in club revenue... (from the cover charge, private dance commissions, etc)! And, more importantly... The "Domino Effect" will eventually take over, via word-of-mouth... You see? Strip club patrons from near and far, will pass the word. And, no longer will they bypass your establishment for the hopes of finding a more reasonably priced gentlemen's club to visit for entertainment, elsewhere... They will come and frequent, Mitzi's... And, no longer will the "beautiful" local talent have to travel to WVa (Martinsburg & Morgantown, WVa), DC, Maryland or Virginia to perform... And, in turn, your dancer (employee) attendance will increase, from the potential of a lucrative establishment... Many dancers (near and far) will want to perform at Mitzi's... (Note: We all know that, where there is a lucrative gentlemen's club, the best-of-the best strip club entertainers will follow)! "Mitzi's is in a prime & quiet location... (a shamless plug)!" There is NO reason for this club to NOT rule & flourish amongst the MD, Va and WVa strip clubs... Unless, of course, the Owner/Management is happy with just "getting over" with the (very) few local customers and the 4 dancer- rotations... Along with, the every now and again, hopes and stumble (upon) visits from curious strip clubbers... Without change, this club will remain "lame and the same..." with the potential of GREATNESS... YMMV, but NOT likely! Sincerely, SC_Afficionado... Peace!

Beware of Nichole... I had requested a 3 song/private dance with Nichole... We get into the upstairs room... and, the first thing that she says is, "I prefer my tip upfront." Now, Gentlemen... What that statement essentially amounts to is blackmail, extortion, blatant deception and evil (slut) chicanery; because, what she is actually communicating is, "If you give me additional money right now, you might... (just MIGHT)... get a GOOD private dance... If you don't, then... you DEFINITELY won't..." At that point, the room is OVER... "Walk out on the BITCH" Note: Guys, you have the option... BEFORE THE DANCE STARTS... to choose another dancer... Exercise your options and... NEVER tip upfront (a bad practice)! Otherwise, a good club (if in the area, definitely worth a visit)! More often than none, you won't be disappointed...
