Met an "odie" like the dog from Garfield. She had that tattoo of the dog as well. Another called herself "mittens.". Needless to say these were not the best looking or even average looking women.

I usually sit thru the rotation if I've never been there. I guess the possibility of seeing someone better is too hard for me to pass up. I liked the clubs that tell you who's there on a board and the name is announced when onstage.

Like what another said, thy probably don't notice the bill. It would be rude to look at the bill rather than you. Based on my experience, I've tipped three dollars but rolled it up and put it inbetween her tits and told her to come by. Never had a problem when I did that method. Dancers have disappeared when I tipped a single bill and said to come by. Ive also had dancers come and take me for a dance Immediately rather than continuing the tip parade. Like with dancers, patrons are all a gamble. Could be a guy that tips well and goes for dances or a guy that will talk for twenty minutes and get nothing.

Thanks for the input. I've read some unflattering reviews about duncannon so I'll avoid those places.

If you're going to Philly this weekend, just remember that elections are coming up next week and usually a strip club bust occurs shortly before. Don't want to end up at the wrong club at the wrong time. I agree with others that oasis is a good place to go to.

I went there a few times and you're right about the cycle. There's no way that club could have lasted very long. There were literally 2 dancers when I was there one time. I still believe it has the best set up of all the Philly clubs that I've been to.

I read about the clubs nearby and any tht I might have driven by and saw. I usually won't read any reviews out of the tri-state area since I'm not planning on going any further than that.

Thanks for the input. I'm usually aware of my surroundings. I think it's best or me to not go there again. I think I'd be pushing my luck. I was going to give club onyx another go, but My toilet got damaged and I spent the night going to home depot to get stuff to fix it. Good thing I didn't go because that night that i was planning to go, someone got 2am'ed according to abc Philadelphia.

Taking a picture would be a bit obvious and if a customer saw it, thy might flip out and do something. I'm sure they talk about customers and general descriptions, but money still rules. I have some dancers avoid me bc I'll never get a dance from them but I prefer that. Saves them time and I wouldn't want one anyway from them.

Usually friday nights. Tried a Monday night and Tuesday night and I hated being the few people there. Going to try an evening one day to see if it's any different.

@juice, this would probably lead to violence (from bouncers, dancers, or even other club goers) or at least getting kicked out of the club

@travelguy, that sounds hilarious. I think if someone tried that in philly, one of the patrons would pick up the dollars. I saw some couple make it rain and a bunch of dollar bills ended up on the floor and some guys ended up picking it up and putting it in their pockets.

@rick, I just got there so I still had money. I think she just said that to say some bullshit to get me to spend money on her. Like I'm suppose to say "i got money let's go right now."
I usually get a few dances, but I usually sit down for a bit when I get in. I really hate it when I sit down and immediately get hit up for a dance or vip.
That junkie gave me the worst vibe after the lap dance. She invited me over to her place for more fun but I immediately declined and walked away. I rather stay disease free and not mugged/killed.

shot girl lets you take a shot from in between her boobs. She wanted me to pay for a dance from her. I decided not to.
I didn't notice the stripper had the tracks on her forearm until I got a lap dance. She seemed to have decent hygiene from when I was talking to her at the bar. Wasn't the smartest move and probably the worst lap dance I've had. I don't know if its due to the fact I saw that track mark and was disgusted or if it was a bad dance.
stack of 20's is far too much for my budget. I'm not baller status like juice. Since I'm a younger guy in my late 20's, I don't have that type of money yet.

I sat down and watched the stage show for a bit and a stripper comes up and puts her hand on my leg. Stripper offers a dance and i decline. stripper sits there and still has her hand on my leg and stroking. I felt the money i put in my pocket slide out of place and i grab her hand and tell her to leave me alone.

if you notice the last sentence, "until the relationship ended" you see that he probably moved on and she got mad. He probably doens't have a pre-nup and the stripper and future ex-wife are going to take a lot of his money. hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

You should leave your cards at home since you can't limit yourself. Probably go closer to the closing time of the club. So you would have less time to spend there and spend less. Determine how much money you are going to bring. Let's say you bring 280. take 80 dollars out (change 40 into 1's, and put the other 40 into your wallet (in one of the slots where your credit cards would be; just in case you get drunk and have to get home by taxi). Keep the other 200 in a shirt pocket or other pants pocket. Depending on the cost of the dances, you should be ok for a few hours. I don't know if you're like me and get dances spread out, or if you're someone who gets the dances consecutively.
If you feel bad just remember that 90% of these women would probably not talk to you ever in real life, and that they're use to getting no's. don't fall for the SS.

I haven't been going as long as some of the guys on the board, but I do have some comments.
1) I agree its expensive. I think bringing around $150-300 is fine. I am not financially set like some of you guys that can spend more than that. Seems to be enough for me. I would suggest bringing cash and leaving the credit cards at home. The fees to use a credit card are not worth it; contesting it is not worth it at all.
2) I don't drink and shot girls and barmaids are respectful of it.
3) I agree
4) its your money. everyone girl will eventually make her way to you unless she has a whale or thinks someone else has more money to spend on her.
5) agree
6) She's doing it because she wants you to like her and to buy a dance. Its nice if you become "friends", but if you never get a dance from her or tips, she won't give a shit. if you had to choose between the weirdo who has money and is willing to spend it or the "entertaining" guy that is broke, they'll choose the weirdo. Try not to blur reality with fantasy.
7) agree.
8) all money adds up, but they do make most of their money based on dances and vip. some girls make an equal amount of money onstage (one song) as they would with one dance. with the house fees and other fees that they have to pay, every dollar does add up.
9) if they think you have money, they'll come.
10) agree
11) somewhat agree.
12) I've never tried this and i don't have any knowledge or experience. I'd probably look like a dumbass for trying.
13) same as 12
14) you can still get ripped off even with an agreement, so its not foolproof.
15) haven't done this, so no comment
16) true. I think most guys understand this unless either they're completely obssessive with the stripper or a newbie.
17) true to a certain extent. it all depends on where you are and the type of club it is as well as the type of stripper she is.
Rather than reading a book, I was watching the Okalahoma state and iowa state game for a few hours when i was at the club. there's nothing wrong with that. if the club dind't want you to watch tv sometimes, they wouldn't have tv's in there.
Overall, all of the guys who have been going for many years and are older gentleman are right with their assessments. Although they do make it sound very easy to get "extras" and whatnot, these guys have years of experience.

Just say "no" and if she says she'll sit there all night, call her out on it. She'll leave in a few minutes since every minute spent on you is losing another customer.
I got labeled as cheap because I didn't want to tip a few girls that came up to me and said "i was dancing before you got here." The label of being cheap goes away if you don't sit there and nurse a drink for an hour and actually tip dancers that you see dance.

I wrote an updated review and it didn't get approved, so I just rewrote it and posted it on the "philadelphia" discussion. I guess I should be as vague as possible and not include anything for a free month.

The updated review didn't show up for some reason, but the steelers lost so i'm happy and am willing to write most of this again. I do a lot of observing when i'm there just becuase some dancers are boring and sometimes the girls onstage or walking around are not my cup of tea.
I went there this past week. Not very crowded. My best advice is to go around 11pm on a Friday or Saturday. If you go when the club opens (around 9) or a weekday that doesn't have a sporting event like the philles or flyers, you will most likely be one of the few people there. I made that mistake last time and I remembered not to show up too early. If you want to make a quick visit or be the only guy at the club, then that's the time to do so.
A majority of the clubgoers here are younger males ranging from 18-35. there are some older men scattered around as well. Its mostly a hangout for the newbies I guess. If there's a bachelor party or a larger group of people in the club, its a more fun place to be. I've gone on a Tuesday (bad decision) and on a friday night (when there was a bachelor party) and you can see the difference.
Remember that how you dress and act will determine how you are treated at the club. Although most of the females will ask everyone, some will avoid you if you look like a cheap. from my experience, the older males who look like they're in their 50's and have steady jobs get the most attention. I don't know why you would wear a suit to this club, since you'll smell like cigarettes and perfume afterward. the guy who sat near me and took 30 dollars in ones and put it on the table made it seem like he was a baller or something (most of the dancers would hit him up first). I prefer not to be a moron and keep my money in my pockets for access.
there are about 8-12 bouncers in the club on a given night. 3 in the front to scan and collect your cover charge, one between the video store, and the others are scattered around the club and near the vip rooms. Usually if there's going to be trouble (like outside near the entrance, or inside of the club, they respond quickly). The only issue I have with them is that there's no one that occassionally goes around the strip club or near the other side where we park. That area near the paper company and penn's port is pretty sketchy at most times. No hats policy is nice and they usually check on clubgoers if they seem suspicious or the metal detector goes off.
couch dances - 30 bucks. Some girls allow two way contact, some won't. buyer beware. There's no consistency with the females. I think its what they think of you and if they think you'll go vip. Its in a booth (if you weigh more than 300lbs, you'll probably not fit in it). Its out in the open and facing the stage, so others can see you and you can see them. that's how you would know who allows what.
vip- 100 bucks for 16 minutes. its videotaped. extras don't happen in there often if they happen at all. there is a chair and there is a black block (table) that is padded that serves as a "bed."
champange room- I have no idea the cost or how its set up.
Dancers don't rotate around too much. You'll see the same 10 dancers and a few newbies from time to time. Their website is out of date and most of the girls on it no longer work there. Most of the females range from 1's to 8's. I've talked to a few of the girls. some are nice and some are rude. Once you sit down, within about 30 seconds a dancer will approach you.
Drinks are 5 bucks or so and shots are the same price. There are two shot girls that go around selling the shots out of minature vials. If those two were dancers, I would say they would be some of the more popular dancers. its byob, so if you want to save money or so, you can do so. most of the patrons here buy from the bar and there are some people that don't. the shot girls are pushy, but they'll leave you alone if you don't want to take a shot. Barmaids are nice, but one will tip herself if you exchange for dollar bills (she'll ask while she is putting it in her top) and the other will just give you the money and walk away.
There are 2 stages: one is a smaller stage with 2 poles (one dancer performs at a time, unless its really busy) and the other has about 4 poles (usually 3 maximum). The music is mostly hip hop and r&b.
I've been here enough times that I know some of the names and how they are.
Jill (late 20's-early thirties, skinny, dirty blonde hair, a few tattoos) is probably the best dancer onstage. Usually she hits up the older men after her songs and stays with them for a while.
Dawn (early-mid 20's, fit (not muscular), currently a brunnette) is in my opinion one of the more attractive females at the club. One of the girls that does the four girl sex show. Great dancer onstage. She has a hoarse voice though and sometimes smells of cigarettes, though.
Carmella (mid 20's, cute blonde, fit) is also one of the prettier girls at the club. She goes onstage but doesn't do much dancing. Usually its a game of "shooting hoops" with her. if you've been at the club, you know what that means. If i had to take a guess, I would say she is the most popular at the club and makes the most if you exclude the earnings that dawn gets from the 4 girl sex show).
Unknown name (mid 20's, tattoos on torso and feet, nice body) is a newer dancer. I am not sure of her stage name though. I saw her recently but never saw her here before.
Those four listed are the most popular at the club. They get the most tips and lap dances from what i've seen. I haven't gotten a lap dance from any of them, but I've seen them give air dances to some of the customers. I have issues about getting couch dances after other fat smelly guys get their dances. I prefer not to get other guy's sweat on me. Its hit or miss at this club with the dances. I think that most don't want you to touch the "kitty" in the couch dances and are fine with touching. Others are not; I think it depends on who you are and if you're a regular.
Erin (mid to late 20's, sort of reminds me of julie stiles), magic (30's), nicki (30's - she looks like magic but I know they aren't the same because she's in the 4 girl sex show and magic was talking to me when it was occurring), ann (late 20's, seems like a lot of people buy her drinks and she doens't do much other than drink with the guys), and brielle (late 20's- early 30's, light skinned black female) are some others that I've encountered. Nice girls and will shoot shit with you if you want. Dances are fine with them. I personally prefer these ladies just because they've treated me more respectfully when I've declined a dance. More mileage with these ladies at the couch dance compared to the ones listed above.
There are other females that could fit other tastes (there are about 7 other black women, 2 asians (one is older and looks manly, one is younger and seems to be more popular), a few hispanic females, an older larger woman (she has the largest breasts, but she's over 250lbs easily), and others that I can't recall. Most of the dances from them will give you a lot more contact though. So its whether you want more contact from unattractive females or if you want less contact with attractive females. They will come at you endlessly though, so get ready for it.
One female in particular, i would recommend you guys avoiding. I'm not sure of her name becuase she doesn't dance. She's blonde, has a muffin top, and her breath smells. She'll tell you bullshit like "you're the hottest guy here, i'm having a bad day, vip is better don't waste your time out here, I know you have money". I told her mutliple times "no, i'm not interested in a dance from you" but she kept persisting. Finally after the third time she told me to "stop being an uptight asshole and to go home if i'm going to be an asshole." It was completely awkward for me. I didn't complain about it, so I just ended up getting a dance from the other dancer that was sitting near her earlier. Was the other dancer attractive? no, that's beside the point. lol.
the four girl sex show is on fridays and saturdays. usually around 1am. I forgot to mention last call for alcohol is 2am. 4 girls on the larger stages and you throw money to try to get them to your portion of the stage. you can't choose who the 4 girls are or even if you want two of them to switch. the show is based on how much money you throw. based on my last visit, it wasn't much of a show since it was a "dead" night. the girls rotate around the larger stage areas eventually so it doens't matter if your stage doesn't "win."
I think the boss was there the other day (bald guy with a turtle neck). I didn't ask becuase I don't talk to random men at strip clubs. Seemed to be a big deal since all of the bouncers and dancers came to greet him.
overall, its a fun place. I would never come on a days other than friday or saturday though.

I just posted an updated review on Show and tel (waiting for approval), since you said you haven't been there in a few years. I've been going for a few months and its fine. I'm sure not much has changed other than a few of the dancers.
