BYOB clubs are always a favorite with me—especially in Texas. I don’t like to drink beer in a club; I prefer to bring my rum. If I can’t bring my rum, I like Vodka Gimlets, and most strip clubs don’t make these well. Moreover, in most states, it seems clubs can’t sell booze if it’s all nude. I also find that there is better mileage and more extras available in a BYOB club; my favorites are in Harlingen, Houston, and Philly. However, I visited a BYOB club in Des Moines a while back that did not permit me to bring in the rum; no other BYOB club has ever expressed a concern. As to your questions about mixers and set-ups, I’ve never noted anything but glasses and ice—bring your own. Cover charges are usually $20—a little more than a full-bar topless club; but you can save quite a bit on the bar tab, especially if you are sharing your booze with the ladies. The staff involvement with intoxicated clients is similar in a BYOB club to a full bar club; one should always be on good behavior in a club or you’ll get bounced no matter how the booze was acquired. Take a cab. A liquor store next door is not important; be prepared. However, if it’s a full nude—no booze bar like the ones in my home town, a bar next door is imperative. Laws very greatly from state-to-state and from county-to-county; read the postings, check the web site, ask a local.

Ok, so we're at 4 (counting me) for some pubes, and 8 for cleanly shaved. Keep 'em commin. Don't get me wrong guys; while I may be an old 60's flower child that definately prefers natural beauty, I agree that we don't want the bush to block the view...

I only go to strip clubs when I travel for business and I NEVER carry my wallet into a strip club. I use a leather money clip that I keep in a zipped pocket for the larger bills with slots for my driver’s license, hotel key and a condom. I keep a stash of ones and fives in my shirt pocket for the tip rail and drinks. The credit and ATM cards stay at the hotel so I can’t go over my budget. IMO flashing a roll of bills only invites the hustle. I prefer to ‘interview’ my ATF for the night without the influence of visible cash and let her impress me with her talents versus me impressing her with my cash.
