I'm surprised you got that much action: 1. SinRock is known to be the strictest club in the region. More so than the Deja Vu clubs (although they've become more permissive in recent years). It's been like that since it opened in 2008. 2. It's the only club (now) near the airport. Clubs close to airports as well as downtown clubs, in general, in any city attract tourist/traveler customers. Dancers go for as much as they can, knowing they're unlikely to make regulars there.

I love the comments for this review !!!

In addition to the above criticisms, Draft your material off line, first, so you can spell check it also. I know this is only a strip club-going audience, not known for great literary works, but you're spelling is atrocious!

I was there the same night, but between 10:00 and 11:15 p.m. About 12 dancers on shift. Also, very few customers. Dancers weren't pushy as has been described repeatedly. However, I came to see a particular dancer who I had arranged ahead of time to see. I knew that Mothers' Day might result in a smaller turnout of dancers and customers, but I used that to my advantage. I didn't want any other dancers to approach me for dances. So, knowing there would be much fewer dancers than usual was a good time for me to go. As for the pushy, hard sell that Kittens dancers are known for, my observation is that Kittens just has too many dancers. It attracts dancers because of its low house fee, $80., which is the lowest in the region, except that Sugar's is only $50., now. But that may be an "introductory offer" to get dancers, since that club is still new (only six months old). Hence, Kittens dancers have a lot of competition. That results in the "high hustle" factor there.

Also, the "questionable" dancer you mentioned changed her stage name recently. She was also outted on USASG under her current name. Maybe she had to change her name because she got too well known for her antics under her previous name.

1. One of the funniest criticisms of a strip club I've ever heard (especially since this is a nude club): "For this to be called Kittens, I was having a hard time seeing any pussy here." 2. Never try a multiple dance option the first time with a new dancer. Always, always, try new talent with just a single dance first. You can always do more if you liked the first dance. 3. Too bad you weren't offered the 3/$60 earlier. That's a great deal.

I've stated this before, but maybe on another website: Give this club some time. It only opened six weeks ago, on November 5th. It's owned by parties connected to Kittens, a well-known extras club. It should be very good for strip club "fun" soon. For example, my last time there, the dancer I saw, immediately took her top off and allowed full two-way contact, upon sitting down in a lap dance booth. Even though Seattle lap dances are supposed to be fully clothed (bikini), she quickly broke the rules. And this was after the club had only been open three weeks. Most Seattle dancers will at least "flash" for their customers in a lap dance--meaning move their tops aside for boobular access. I suggest you keep looking at the club's Instgram account for dancers that interest you, message with them, and try it again. That's what I've been doing. Perhaps in a few months. If you think "The club is on the dumpy side of dive," you should have seen it in it's previous ownership as Dancing Bare. (See my review.) Pertinent references: 1. Club Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sugarsseattle/ 2. My review of the former club in this location, Dancing Bare: https://tuscl.net/review.php?id=362648

@ Drew: I feel that The Playground should be the last on anyone's list of the independent clubs. Perhaps that's still better than the Deja Vu clubs. With its "communal" lap dance room, The Playground is not encouraging for much fun. I get topless dances there, with two-way contact, but I still don't like being seen by other dancers and customers in the same room.

This club has a lot of scam dancers. "Daisy" is one to be avoided. She has a hot temper. Comes across sweetly at first, but as soon as she hears (or doesn't hear) something she likes/wants, she's uses her sharp tongue.

You mentioned high security. I haven't been to SinRock in several years because of that. When I last went, there were cameras covering both lap dance areas, and they were heavily monitored. If a male hand should touch a female boob, a manager would be right over to say, "Sir, please don't touch the dancers." Can you or anyone else confirm if this is still the practice there? It's one of a few clubs in the region that I will only go to if I already know a dancer there (likely from another club) or get a strong recommendation from another customer.

When you have a bad time at a club, we have good a time reading your review! There seems to be a correlation: The worse your trip was, the more entertaining your review is.

My last sentence was, "Look for some good mileage in the future." According to a review on USASG, that's already occurring!

@MrEddyG: 1. You need to read the material first, before criticizing. I specifically stated that the dance I got was $40, and that the Seattle minimum is $30. 2. Sorry about not giving a description of the dancers. I had it in an earlier draft but forgot to include it here: Of the 15 dancers, maybe 11 were white, three Asian, and one AA. The body-type mix was mostly slim and fit, with three on the chubby side. @Scrub: Would a "club ad" post severe criticism of any kind? 1. I mentioned the stage dances were unenergetic. 2. Look at what I wrote about the men's room. An employee or owner trying to promote a club wouldn't have any criticisms.

@ scrub: I'm a regular at this club. I doubt if any of the posted reviews are fake. Let's be clear: You have an obsession with liking to point out what you feel are fake reviews. Rather, your criticism might be taken seriously, if you indicated what details are missing that would make it a valid review. I'll admit, this review is weak, but it's still helpful--just not AS helpful as some others.

Re: The Playground (for. Sands The general consensus seems to be that nothing has changed inside regarding its operation. The sign on the outside is really the only change. However, it created an Instagram account and posts regularly, even showing pics of dancers that work there. According to the club's website, its hours are 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. as of July 30, 2021

The poker-chip sort of tokens are worth $5.00 each. However, the scam is that when the dancers go to cash them in, they only get 90% of that amount. The club keeps the rest. It's like a service charge for using that system, except that instead of the customer being charged for the service, the dancers are. Why the club can't get a regular ATM, I don't know, but it's predecessor Talents West clubs all operated like that. Best to have cash on hand before going to a strip club. Furthermore, for every strip club I go to, I know where my own bank's nearest ATM is nearby.

I believe the "don't ask this question . . ." concern was meant to not ask Founder that question. Of the millions of strip clubs in the world, he certainly won't know where your long-lost favorite dancer now.

1. I've posted this before about this club: The song length is longer than other clubs. The Playground doesn't use a disc jockey. The dancers pick their songs from a juke box, so you get full length songs. That means that one song here, is probably the equivalent of two songs at other clubs. But, that means you have to spend money in $40 increments. Less can be found at other clubs. 2. If you didn't get a dance, but you're thinking of getting a private room the next time you go--Don't. Try a regular $40 dance the first time. Then you can upgrade if you feel it might be worth it.

At this club, there is a dancer named "Daisy." She recently transferred from Pandora's. She is to be avoided. She has an exceptionally bad disposition: She might be pleasant and accommodating when you meet her, but she can turn "south" in an instant--demanding high prices, with little value.

Kittens does have a "receipt" of sorts. It's mostly used in the evening so patrons can come and go. That's mainly intended for the bar/restaurant next door (under same ownership). It's just a "carnival-type" ticket they give out. You can ask for one during the day time if they don't automatically give it to you at entrance. It's good for the entire day and night. Also, if the quantity of dancers on shift is important to you, you can always call any club to ask that first. I often do, even when I already know if some of my favorite dancers are working.

Scrub is to be ignored. His comments are meaningless. He'll make that comment on any review that has anything positive written. He even says that when there are several negative comments, which obviously wouldn't be written by club ownership or management. He's from Phoenix, but consistently pokes his nose into Seattle club reviews.

"Pushy" dancers is a common experience at Kittens. There are reasons for tis: 1. This club has a low house fee for the dancers. I think it's only $60. (Those who know, please correct me.) So, from that standpoint, alone, it attracts a lot of dancers. 2. It doesn't require a schedule of the dancers. They're free to work whenever they please. The club doesn't care if they also dance at other clubs, escort, or whatever else they might do that other clubs would object to. (Note: In the post-covid era, they're not the only club not requiring a schedule of the dancers. Others are lenient as well, just trying to acquire and maintain a staff of dancers.) Hence, the sheer volume of dancers on shift at any one time creates great competition among the dancers. It's a common complaint in the reviews. It was a good decision on your part to avoid the duo of dancers seeking a double from you, especially since you didn't know them. That's usually a sign of "double trouble." Hope you research your choices better, the next time you have the opportunity to go to a club in a city you're not familiar with.

A very entertaining as well as informative review. I continue to appreciate your contributions!

@ Michigan: I concur. Good post!

@ grand1511: I found the review of the parking lot quite helpful. It told as much as is necessary for a customer to make a decision as to whether or not to go in, pay admission/drink and see the same results only from the inside, when that decision can be made before paying.
