I was at Fannie's Thursday night around midnight to 1:30am. There was a nice crowd and 3 or 4 dancers thanked me for tipping them when they were on stage. I didn't go into the vip but paid for dances from 2 entertainers while sitting at the bar. Still several dancers were on their phones on the floor instead of interacting with the customers even though several of us were sitting alone.

The $350 & naked on the 3rd song dancer was a tall slim blonde looker whose name I immediately forgot. I didn't notice any tats on her but I met another dancer who called herself Raven and fit that description. I didn't ask her for a dance, just her name and tipped her $5 as she walked past me. Thanks for the GPS warning!

@Dawgpound7878 Mia but I will accept the blame for the bad experience.

Papi_Chulo: Agreed! I have been to several clubs where the prices are $20 per song with a lot less value (no nudity at all, no touch policies, security eyeballing) and to my shame I still paid those prices. $5 for 2.5 minutes is good and I won't feel like wasted money to check out the potential to spend more on the right person.

I was at Blaze yesterday (Wednesday) for the dayshift. There were a 25 or more dancers there and of course the dj played some of the shortest songs ever to be recorded. I had to remind myself that paying $5 for a song that is 2 minutes long that is better than the clubs with $20 or more for a 5-6 minute song.

@listeve: You're welcome! I have seen a few people get arrested in that area. Those women have recording devices on them so it doesn't matter if a person goes with them or not because it's still on tape.

@BigBaller73: I read your review about the bouncer and I have the same experience with him. I think I understand about him telling me the rules every time I get there but that walking over to check on what I am doing when I am sitting at a table really bothers me. One time I looked up and he was just standing behind me looking at me. That is a little too disrespectful.

(1) The women you see at or near the hotels work with law enforcement in sting operations. (2) You're saying the vip stalls are back? Thanks for the information!

Agreed! My 2 trips into the vip since the remodel have been less than enjoyable.

I think a lot of dancers have body odor at that club.

I understand but all of the money paid upfront should cover any privacy issues. The dancer and club should work that out between themselves.

The last time I was there the vip was worthless. Nothing sexual only lackluster dancing. During the 30 minute vip session the waitress /house mom kept coming back to ask if we were okay. Less than 20 minutes of that nonsense and I had to stop the vip before depression set in. Why pay for vip if no privacy, the floor dance is less expensive, and much better?

Law enforcement does sting operations on Fulton Industrial Blvd. I have seen the decoys at the motels, walking the streets in skimpy clothes, and hanging out in the stripclubs. The decoys are wired up so if money is mentioned and someone agrees to it, that is grounds for arrest even without going with the decoy. I have seen former pimps and prostitutes working for law enforcement to avoid sex trafficking charges or to get reduced time in prison. Also the decoys will get naked but a person will still get arrested if they agree to spending money for a date.

You're welcome will42! Agreed about the talent being on the up after Riley's closing and the problems on the northside but it seems to be going down again.

Congratulations on making it to Club Blaze! I haven't made it to Follies but dayshift at Blaze is really good if the dancers are trying to get paid instead of just hanging with their regulars or one another.

$25 is too much for a lapdance an way too much for an air dance. Most Memphis clubs run customers away with this business model.

I agree that the clubs are probably getting pressure. The area those clubs are in were unincorporated Fulton County but now they are in newly incorporated cities and politics are probably in play here. Still after watching the sting operations in that area with the people at the hotels working for Uncle Leo I am seriously paranoid.

Right now I wouldn't trust anything from any dancer there. I have been to a few clubs in Memphis, Tn where the dancers and other club employees were actually setting club goers up for Uncle Leo.

Also I could simply be more paranoid than usual but that dancer and a couple of other staff had me wondering if some of the club personnel were working for Uncle Leo. I know they do it in Memphis, Tn but I don't know for sure about metro Atlanta.

A week ago I passed by about 1:30am Saturday morning and the club was closed.

I used to get upset about management stopping dancers from giving good grinding dances with mutual touching until I found out that touching is illegal and the club can face prosecution for it.

That night it was just too crowded for me even if I were still in my early 20's. I ended up standing elbow to elbow with someone wherever I tried to move to. The last place I found to stand was next to some young female customers and one of them was using her phone to record the dancers on stage. I have never been a fan of that.

I was there Wednesday for the dayshift and met Ginger. She was very friendly along with Tanner, Lennox, and Peyton. If all of the dancers had her positive attitude then the club would probably stay crowded with customers who actually spend money.

Except for calling some of your co-workes "whores" good job & thanks for the description. I work as an over the road truck driver and had thought about visiting this club but not sure about parking and walking several blocks to this club. I visited Looker's for my 1st New Jersey stripclub experience and while the dancers were very pretty I honestly did not enjoy my time in the club. Hopefully your club can change my opinion of Jersey's stripclubs.

The dances in the low chairs at Babe's are terrible!
