This past Thursday, 12/19, was the last day. I heard it was packed and very busy. Northwest Jersey loses another go go bar, not too many left.

Heard today that last day will probably be even sooner. Most likely one day next week. Heard owner doesn’t want to renew insurance since closing following week.

Dances are $30 and have been that price for awhile.

I remember going there in the 80’s. It was a fun place. The dancers would give you a photo of themselves (not Polaroid ) after their set if you tipped them.

I second NJ Pete’s request for having the Club Name listed when you go to My Reviews in your profile. It’s difficult to find a previous review not knowing which club it was for. Thx!

No more detour. Route 15 South is now open with a temporary 2 lane bridge.

Accurate review, I was there at the same time. Totally agree about the bartender being the hottest by far! My review is in the works.

This version has slightly more details than the other one that was also published

Anyone know where on the site do you click on to extend/renew your membership? I have always written numerous reviews to keep my membership but after 10+ years my VIP status is expiring soon. Or will something appear once I lose VIP status?

Great info!

The Rest a Bit Tavern in Mine Hill NJ has been saying it’s the oldest go go bar in NJ for years. I believe it has been around for 50+ years. I think the current owner, Frankie, took it over from his Father.

They are closed from now (and probably closed sometime earlier this month) until they reopen 2/8/24 - so not just for 1 day

No lap dances any more. Haven’t been any since September. Also the small stage was recently removed but the dancers will continue to be there.

Lap dances are not $5, that’s the additional fee to the club for each dance you have. Dancers typically quote their own prices which I have seen from $25 - 40+ per dance.

From what I was told recently (last week) by a dancer the one lap dance booth is there with the not so popular sheer curtain.

My understanding is that lap dances are no longer available. The “room” has been removed and this took place at least 2 months ago.

I just tried submitting a review for Fringe and don’t know if it went through. I hit the Submit button but no indication of acceptance like on old site. So either it will be multiple duplicate submissions or is lost. I’m working on an iPad. Maybe someone can see if it’s in Unpublished Reviews? There was another review of the same club poster earlier today.

Also being from NJ, the Dollar Parade is unavoidable if you sit at bar when dancers make their rounds for tips. I definitely think you will be perceived as cheap if you do not tip every dancer at least $1. For dancers it is their job and they are there to make money. I just hate the dancers that come around more than 1 or 2 times or the ones that push for more than $1. It should be up to the customer if thy choose to give more to select dancers. Only way to avoid is to not sit at bar/stage, but even that doesn’t always work.

Very weird seeing this post updated. Actually the owner is trying to reopen as a Juice Bar and rumor has it may be soon, but it’s been talked about for awhile. I go to another club in NJ that is owned by the same owner.

Funny, I drove past there today too. Never actually had any “good” dances but do remember seeing some popular dancers over the years. Not true feature dancers but if I’m remembering correctly - Hot Dog Annie, Wonder Woman, etc. I think before being a go go bar it was a popular night club with some big acts appearing there.

Update - drove by Madame Oars at 8pm on Tuesday and it was closed. Looked like a decent place, located on end unit of small strip mall. Then drove by Novelty Lounge at 9pm and it was also closed.

NJ doesn’t allow topless if alcohol is served. Guess she chose pasties over a bikini style top.

I heard they are reopening tomorrow, 2/12. Also heard it was related to a drug overdose or drugs in the club that caused the 2 month closure.

LD’s are $30 (since covid - $10 to house, $20 to dancer)

House keeps $10 of the $25 from each dance.
