The biggest challenge is that auto accidents, even minor ones, trigger a call to an injury attorney. The companies wind up settling instead of fighting which everyone pays for....well those with assets and insurance. It's the new lottery here in Atlanta.

A chicken pot pie for late lunch?

As an avid hunter, Quercus Alba, White Oak. At maturity, they are magnificent.

Yep, thanks for reminding us Atlanta guys how lucky we are with $10 dances! Great to see you and catch up.

I don't have an issue, or for that matter consider it haggling if she quotes a price and you make one counter offer, especially if it is done in a friendly light way that allows her to circle back later. Its also not a bad thing if a super cute girl gets a little more money.

The things you learn on this educational website 😁

Shot girl and barback probably tie for lowest paid. That said, I'm told the maintenance guy at Mardi Gras used to work for free to be able to hangout with the girls. He had an allowance of drinks per day and free use of the pool table.

Was there confirmation that he was served or had some level of blood alchohol? It is an 18 and up entry, 21 to drink club so he and they would have been fine unless he was drinking.

Hauntingly familiar to the 2020 review. I'd be surprised, but if they've gone to an "all bottle service" VIP model at peak night hours, I don't believe that the daytime hours will follow suit.

Just saw your question. They are $10 but a little on the short side time wise...probably around 3 minutes.

Great review. Sorry I missed catching up with you. Hope your trip is fun and successful.

That was good fora chuckle. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks all Veterans for your service.

Late to the topic, but in reverse order….yes, probably, but at least you have good tastes. First question, 3 at the same time. I posted about one of the situations back in the FOLLIES hay days…. All three dancers answered “Yes”, “I’m here or coming in to see you” at virtually the same time. Oops…..

A $20 will get it done or it won't. Either way it gets her over or you've saved some money.

Been riding since 1974. 3 Kawasakis 2 Hondas-various dirt and street bikes. I'm a fair weather rider now on a Honda Sports Tour bike. As far as accidents, none except a dirt bike vs pine tree stump. I ride like everyone is trying to kill me....

As recently discussed, I’m not too worried about enforcement action against weed that seems to be the primary recreational drug being consumed. City isn’t worried about it.

Yep, while she finished up a set of floor dances for another of her regulars buy she certainly made it up to me. Agree with Doc's comment about her being a new girl and not writing her off.

I've only heard it once in the years I've clubbed.

2.5 hours worth. Goldmonger and maybe Shadow would be able to guess the dancer. Was at Follies, next to DJ booth. Probably around 2015 or 2016. Good Ole days...

Not too many “real” perfumes listed but I like Dolce Gabanna Light Blue for Women. If it works with one’s body chemistry it is perfect for my preferences. The man’s version smells great too.

I enjoy almost all types of seafood but don’t cook it much at home. When out, I usually order from what is ‘in season’ in the area I’m visiting. I’ve never understood the fascination with lobster but have really enjoyed steamed crab from places like the Bay Steamer in Ft Walton Beach.

Won't hear it from me either. Life is short and the enjoyment outweighs the risk....by a long way. That said I do understand the natural fear/anxiety that can be triggered by a young lady that seems to be a little bit crazy and living on the edge..but like a rollercoaster, it is exhilarating.

Thorough review but I wish I had even seen a white "6". As several of you know my tastes are very narrow so there wasn't really anything to choose from. I did get a few dance from a slim dancer named Carmel...nothing to write home about. Agree with all the comments about the upkeep and maintenance issues. We will have to see if the Beltline has any short-term negative impact. Long-term it will significantly increase overall property values in the areas where it runs which might tempt the present owner to sell. That could be why there is no investment in upkeep.

I was familiar with the concept of spinners long before strip clubs. The petite but athletic gymnast/cheerleader type has always been my favorite. In those worlds they are often know as "fliers" because of their lighter than air aerial maneuvers.

Yep, a no brainer Shadow... I'll take partial credit for you getting that going again...she's a good one. To the original question, I have had luck with about $100 an hour though I don't think about it that way nor do I negotiate that way. They seem to be grateful, and haven't had to pay any fees at the club and usually have a nice meal, conversation and for the ones with kids, a break from them.

No, I’m not aware of any. She can probably get in but be careful not to have her her order her own drinks.

@Rick,I get it, but Shadow and I both live in east bumblefuck making the idea of customers driving 45-60 minutes into the obvious retirement community even more farfetched. Doc, I've got an entire basement open...just have to be able to explain the strange noises...

That makes no sense at all. Surely they were screwing with you???

Just Tattletails and Marble Arch. Vancouver had some of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.

Goldmonger, my exact thoughts….

Eagles....."Right there in the Vaseline"

Sorry I missed out. Glad to hear how well it went. Here's to 20 more.

Sorry to have missed it. Happy Birthday Shadowcat. Here's to many more. Looking forward to seeing the report/review!

A subtle glance across the room….

I believe it….It’s the sports jacket-attracts them every time!

I would also comment that some of the upstairs areas seem pretty brightly lit. it may vary based on other factors but on my last visit they were quite bright.

Well, I'll have to step up my game. Hopefully I'll get in a visit or two soon. Glad you had a good visit.

Good review. Glad it was a successful trip because I agree the traffic coming back into town a rough. I need to make another trip to Oasis!

Totally focused on quality now. Like Warrior I shudder at what I used to eat and the amount...

Funny however has some truth to it... This was the number one reason for some of my favorite dancers leaving Follies back in the day. Guys with dirty hands attempting to finger them out on the floor, never mind VIP. Major,cause of girl type infections.

I second Stevie Ray Vaughn.

The true definition of a spinner....

I don't wear shorts so no worries but man it feels good outside as a hunter. Have you considered some of those hand warmer packets in your shorts pockets? :)

Joe, I don't believe State liquor license requirements would allow free liquor give away. The Follies workaround seemed to be an attempt to meet a food to alchohol sales edict....different than trying to give away instead of selling alchohol. The code Doc quoted would prohibit the BYOB model anyways. At least that's how I interpret all this stuff....

Thanks for the code references Doc. Seems like an attorney could get any charges dismissed not only on the lack of sign but on a patron’s activity/behavior being reasonable based on the establishment selling them the drink. This looks like the City was trying to cutoff the byob model… but I think they’ve messed up trying to ticket patrons. Also, an arrest/citation can’t be legally issued for previous act an informant has allegedly witnessed. An officer must have direct, first hand knowledge.

Delete as I go in case I leave a device open by accident …😂

I've done it several times. Only one less than ideal situation which was the result of staying too long and her and her friend getting too drunk and wild.

Well, I'm glad it was just rain. When I first heard the story I was afraid it was someone jizzing from that upper closed off area...yikes!

Boomer, easier said than done. The amount of revenue generated from the sale of alchohol is much higher than anyone realizes. It could never be replaced by a higher cover charge.

Desert, goldmonger is correct, the City annexed the business then wants to change the operating rules because they are inside the city limits. I think they, Oasis, has a strong defense. Unlike some other clubs that have faced similar challenges, Oasis has virtually no crime increase for the area which is the other argument that cities try to make.

I "earned " a couple of the same tshirts from Crazy Horse back in the day, gave both of them away. They would also give away a cheap porn video in the same deal.

Oh, and viagra... not sure which order.

Prevagon...

Doc, sorry... I've met you. You've got a shot at "talented" but you're screwed, and not in a good way, on the balance of your claims.

Where do you think "tie a board on your ass" came from? Doc..the visual, I spit out my mouthful of drink.

Great to see you guys. Accurate review with the highlight visiting with long lost compatriots.

Never mind. I see this is listed under Platinum which is where I also saw this back near the DJ.

I'm guessing this observation was from the Diamond Club. I think it is a way to say, "I'm special and don't have to sit in the seat like a regular person".

Gold, not to split hairs but I don’t consider an emailed statement as “several quotes “ from their attorney. Best I can tell, Begner, didn’t comment and the author went with a previously issued statement on the topic.. I agree with most of your points but the most powerful, and I believe it supports what I was saying, is the City hasn’t faced the club in court where the facts and arguments could be heard by a judge. The City simply says something is so and expects the club to comply. Mr Bater is spot on.

Dr Evil is probably more equipped to answer but I'm guessing the club felt it had the right to continue operating during whatever appeals and other legal maneuvers it had filed. The article only cited Doraville's position on the matter.

Sounds like you loved it...:))

At least at Follies they were often former dancers who didn’t want the challenges of being a nude dancer but didn’t mind flirting or showing a little to get one to part with a large tip.

Papi, they are calling it "parking" at Diamond. No cover. At Follies Day Shift, they are calling it an "entry fee" I wonder sometimes if management even knows what's being collected by the door folks.

Great to see you yesterday.

And the Shadiw typo was a munchausen thing...

Shadiw, it just feels like 21 years. Jimmy, you beat me to the punch. I will use "bitch black" moving forward...though it does sound a bit racist coming from an older white guy. Desert, no it's more fist bumps and sniffing each other, like when dogs meet up.

Good story with a happy ending. I didn't recieve any DFK but had a similar situation when I gave a $20 to a big girl who wasn't getting any tips or giving any dances. Apparently a number of the other girls really liked her. I applaud your classy move.

I can almost guarantee that the city took a look at nearby adult oriented businesses after the spa shootings. My guess is the their alcohol license has expired. Not surprising since the Mayor has had so many departments on lockdown.

Thanks for the review. Holiday weekends always seem to be tricky...especially kid centric ones like Easter.

I'm sure there was some extra scrutiny as they investigated the Spa shooting in that immediate area.

Appreciate the review and you buying me a birthday dance. I hope the diversity of dancers improves.

Appreciate the review. Some of the heavier girls were definitely dancing the day I went but it sounds like you also spotted several of the nicer ones too. I'll definitely try it again one day soon.

And Wavvy, sent you a PM if it comes through

Glad I gave it a try. @wavy, Yes, blue is one of the pretty girls I referenced. Good dances that would probably be better not out in the middle section, even though against the wall. Doc, based on this one visit it was something I'd repeat. I did not catch Willow.

Hold tight for more this weekend.

Agree, show of force to keep stuff out of the club. Could be a bunch of 2amers this weekend in Atlanta.

Around 1979 Cheetah II wouldn’t let me and my friend in because our shirts didn’t have a collar.

Shelby, not the club...:)

Still a pass for me...

Informative review. Good intel through the shop talk.

Meaningless at the old Follies, fairly important in an unfamiliar club, especially when the girls aren’t circulating. I will tip a $20 if I’m interested in her coming to see me after her set.

Good review...thanks Hamster. sounds like a little later in the afternoon might make a positive difference.

Happy birthday youngun...I take the next advance patrol and report out.

Doc, Damnit, you just made me spit my orange juice.....

Funny as shit.,..thanks for the laugh. A Modest Proposal lives.....

Appreciate the additional intel. Hope things get going in the new year.

I would reflect back to the original “DJG’ thread, but I think you are experiencing something that others had figured out and have been enjoying for some time. It may have been harder to recognize the potential, now reality, if one is enamored with the “ITC social element”. Glad you are enjoying it. For me, it’s the only way to fly.

Desert, not sure that he had so many demons...he’s generally viewed as a hometown hero here in Atlanta, known for his work with sick kids and others.

Hopefully it will begin to sync with customers and dancers after the first of the year.

Two of the three cuties I was sitting with on Monday indicated they were going to be working more often after the New year. I will go again the first couple of weeks to update.

Interesting question. I can recognize beauty within the various categories and types but I also have a pretty specific/narrow standard of what I’m really attracted to- petite, fit, girl-next-door, with beautiful face and eyes. It greatly limits my selection in most clubs but I likes what I likes....

I guess I’ve just been lucky....

Heartwarming for sure...also consistent with my past "Day Job Girls" experiences, limited as they are.:)

Hey Greenbeans...yep, you got me, that's what I'm known for. Rookie! jmiddle, yes, some you just named were there. This appears to be the real thing if you enjoyed the day shift Follies of the good old days!

Not a club ad but definitely fiction. There is no self parking in the ‘big parking lot”

Thanks for another thorough, well written review.

Rick, this comes across a bit "butt sore" at a specific girl or situation. Most of the girls that I've known who worked that infrequently were trying to transition out of dancing or had a family situation with kids that made it tough to work more. But to answer the question,those that I've known like that have still worked to make their money and provided a fun experience.

Doc, agree...its the same property...It's a very industrial area. I think it is just the past Follies managers hyping. Hope it happens but I'm very sceptical.

I thought the game thing as I did it....

Believe it when I see it...but one can hope. I can say, with confidence, that neither Platinum or Diamond Club is the "new Follies " Forward scouts should be plentiful. :)

And now you know why he has written 1 review in 2.5 years. Doc, did you create an alter ego and write this madness?

Yes, noticed this trend really gaining momentum last Holiday season as all the commercials about "family" getting together showed most biracial couples and often same sex couples with children. All fine with me in real life, but certainly seems like "homogenization" pandering by corporate America to show how very woke they've become.

@jimmy, I must disagree that Stacey Abrams’ refusal to concede had no ramifications. Some might like, and even applaud, her antics claiming that the election was stolen and votes compromised because it yielded significant increase in young and minority voters who were told they were being blocked from voting.

Careful Shadow.....:)

Well written...as always

And I was just getting ready to make a trip to Diamond Club. That sounds rough. Thanks for the warning.

I've ordered you a new decoder ring. It should be here in a few days.

Atlanta doesn’t get much snow or ice and as Doc evil indicates, I think you’d do pretty well at Oasis based on your pics.

I’ve seen it a few times in Atlanta clubs. I would say that it probably represents a tolerance if not potential for anal. If you’ve never had a sex partner wearing one during vaginal sex, I highly recommend it. It creates a very pleasant pressure inside her. Good for both partners in my experience.

Shadow, I remember Boomers...their non-alcoholic foray was a disaster. Not only the crowds you described but they didn't use the high cover model or have good VIP experiences. I did find a cute dancer now and then but it struggled to find its footing.

@whodey, I’m not disagreeing that different cities have taken different strategies if they really want to shut down clubs, I’m speaking to Atlanta’s general, historical record on the level of aggressiveness. I don’t think you can apply other communities’ strategies and actions and apply them nationally.

Yes, $25-30 door fee. Rooms could probably stay about the same price but the club could look for a small cut of VIPS from the dancer. The margin is high on alchohol but the math could still work as it has in many other cities. Papi, I agree that's a possibility but the Atlanta area hasn't typically seen that level of aggressive raids very often...they mostly use the alchohol/nudity combination to claim increase in crime....

Appreciate the multiple reviews in one. Glad to hear there is at least a little diversity at Platinum. It was all Hispanic and Black on my two day shift visits.

All kidding aside, that's exactly what I've thought they should do if they lose the alchohol license for the future. The alchohol and nudity combination is what government has used to close clubs. By going the Mons Venus route, they take away that government hammer, can still net the same average $ per person and give the City the middle finger with loss of the alcohol tax revenue... Wish they'd consider.

I was in a hearing a while back and understood that the old Onyx location had lost their liquor license. Perhaps a new location?

Thanks for the forward scouting report. Sounds like a success!

Great review. Appreciate the detail and Intel.

Thanks for the recommendation. Agree with all that cite the intensity and realism. It captured the challenge of Afghanistan. I wasn’t familiar with the true story but the film’s end tells the story of the number of major commendations for the soldiers involved.

Thanks for all the comments. I was only there a couple of hours, probably left around 2:45. It is funny when a bunch of us are there but don't know it. Doc was the only one there that I would recognize. I think she's very pretty in her own unique way. Agree with all the comments about her personality and ability to carry on a conversation too. There were some of those type girls at Follies that had strict limits but still did very well based on beauty, smarts and personality.

HeyDoc, yes, I remember that. I think it was called the Cheetah 3. They also had amateur contests on occasion.

I’ve done it several times myself.

Papi, if no one else laughed, I did.

Glad to see you made it out. Good review.

Yes, only once, but I stopped a girl halfway through her second song as she began to lay out a long set of rules. I wasn't even trying to touch her but was sitting with hands by my side. I said " I'm good, thanks, handed her a twenty and moved to a different chair. To be honest I still can't remember why it irritated me so much that day, but I remember there were a lot of cute girls on the floor and I didn't want to waste another minute.

Papi, I've only been there twice , both dayshift visits, but I'd say that Platinum feels like Follies night shift pretty IME. Almost exclusively AA and Cuban dancers and mostly AA customers with occasional white or Hispanic customer sprinkled in. I've witnessed rain making at both day time visits....rare for the Follies day shift IMHO.

There used to be a Waffle House next door and there were frequent issues at the lot between that club and the Waffle House.

I wonder if there are separate guidelines related to the alcohol licensing laws? That’s what I thought drove the “blue laws”including closing on Sunday? Good to know they are open? makes me wonder what Cheetah is doing for Sunday’s.

Warrior, when I club in other cities I realize how spoiled we are in Atlanta w dances at $10 or less in some places. That value is more reflective of not finding my dancer type and having to “settle”

Sorry Grand, sometimes I just assume everyone knows that they are $10. Same thing about club details... since it’s been described so thoroughly in previous reviews. In a nutshell it is tiny and very poorly laid out.

Like Papi the time or two I’ve had it happen, the guy didn’t seem to be playing with a full deck. The first time was early in my clubbing, at the old Cheetah 3. I saw him approaching other tables but didn’t know what was going on. He sat down at my table and began to rub my dancer’s leg under the table. She didn’t say anything but just nodded towards the bouncer who was already watching him. The bouncer came over, put his hand on his shoulder and led him out. The next time was at Follies. He tried to join me at the table in the corner next to the DJ booth even though there were open seats everywhere. The dancer who was dancing for me said that he wasn’t all there and followed her around some times.

I typically stay the entire time even if I’ve already been taken care of. This is as much due to the type of dancer I select and the experience that evolves. Rushing happened to me a time or two when I was a rookie but I soon learned how to make the experience last and also help set expectations with the dancer, especially as a repeat customer.

Thanks for the reminder Founder. Too bad on Breh, he'd asked for and received advice from me and others but my tolerance for that rhetoric is at zero now. Blocked.....

I can afford it and tip generously to all but bouncers, exception being when headed to VIP and they are controlling the rooms etc, then they are tipped too.

Mayo, tomato and lettuce. Ketchup just overpowers my tastebuds now.

That's some quality writing Doc. Enjoyed the review and felt like I was there. Good stuff.

The Cheetah was printing money, preCovid with the sports, entertainment and convention business providing excellent midweek business and locals visiting in droves during weekends. While it is prime property I don't believe they would have sold if the printing press hadn't been shut down. The main loss is to couples that wanted a nicer experience with some excellent food.

Papi, you are correct and agree with your hypothesis...but it also has significant physical challenges with overall size and its narrowness. Just no room to do anything but benches along the walls. I’m sorry to say I’m not a fan.

We were willing to give up our awesome Mayor here in Atlanta. She showed incredible leadership in the last few months.....said with almost a straight face.

Gives a new meaning to "take out". Sounds like a great girl that enjoys life...Thanks for sharing.

Others may weigh in, but I know Cheetah has been staying closed until evening on some Mondays and Tuesdays...could be more or less.

Very accurate review. I’d forgotten to mention the leaking AC from the ceiling in my recent review. Also my humble opinion, but For those comparing, no club can be the “new Follies” without better diversity of dancers. There was something for everyone at Follies day shift. Right now Platinum appears to be AA and Hispanic dancers.

Not in the "perky" category to me but still a very nice pair. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure where you got your pre-covid, post -covid earnings estimates, but they sound pretty low . For a cutie the day shift pre-covid used to be $400-600 and about double that for a weekend night. I've only visited once post Covid.

Before a recent cleanup, I had 15. Now I have 3.

Sounds pretty distinguished for a penis, but he’s yours to name.

Fun review, thanks. Just to help, everyone's second head, member, talleywhacker is individually named.. So I have "little bubba", Papi has "little Papi", etc. You would refer to yours as "little met" or "little mets".

Freudian slip spurt vs. spur :) Little bubba was holstered and in long work pants. :)

Second the nominations for Creed and the Beetles.

Goldmonger, we must be watching completely different video of the incident. What I’ve seen shows protesters entering onto private property, through gates, off the street they were marching on. The couple with the long gun and pistol are clearly standing on the landing in front of the stairs to their front door. I agree that the lady points her pistol in the direction of protesters as she yells at them which is definitely inappropriate and dangerous handling of a firearm.

To the original question, yes, I’ve spread out distribution of home defense weapons . Shotguns primary, pistols secondary. I’m certainly not going to wait on the local sheriff deputy to get to me in time to protect life or property.

Thanks for sharing. Glad you are on the other side and able to help your friend again...climb back in the saddle!

I wouldn't consider that a ROB situation. That applies to situations where something is agreed upon and then not delivered. It sounds like she wasn't comfortable with what you wanted and communicated it to you.

Why does anyone believe a vaccine for this virus will be anymore effective than previous viruses or vaccines? Research how many mutations Norway is presently tracking. We aren't hearing anything about this known behavior of ALL viruses from our US "medical experts" or mainstream media.

Gold, I'm too lazy to go find the links and post them but what I've read basically says the the death rate was expected to stay under 2% and as more positive cases are diagnosed that the hospitalizations and death rate would trail behind what many shill, doomsday models were predicting. The media has provided zero context for any of the numbers the so breathlessly report. The one thing everyone and everything seems to agree on is the much higher risk for the elderly, and those with significant underlying medical conditions.

It would be nice if they Mayor would pay attention to the now nightly shootings instead of focusing on interviewing with national news outlets and masks.....
