I made a brief stop at Bourbon on a Wednesday around 10pm. It was a short drive from downtown Phoenix. Parking was free. Cover was $10. Water was $5. The club was fairly...

Bandaids was the smallest of the clubs I visited in Phoenix. It's on a corner with a free parking lot. There was no cover when I arrived mid-afternoon on a Tuesday. Upon entrance there...

I was passing through Phoenix and checked out a few different clubs, none at ideal times. The first was Hi-Liter on a Sunday evening. Parking was free in a decent, well-lit (but unmonitored) lot....

Chicas Bonitas is a dive in north Las Vegas. It's a short walk from Palomino. I like pairing visits to both. They have a gravel parking lot which is free. Cover is just $5,...

My first visit to Blaze was decidedly mediocre, but I was in Atlanta on a Sunday afternoon and decided to give it another try. Free parking, and no cover charge. The doorman gave a...

I usually take a ride share to Vivide, but ended up driving myself this time around. I was shocked at how bad the parking lot was. It was more broken than not, and some...

Colorado was about a twenty minute drive from downtown Houston, in the "Mahatma Gandhi District". There were a bunch of restaurants nearby, Indian and otherwise. There was a large free parking lot behind the...

Men's Club is a large, upscale club about a twenty minute drive west of downtown Houston. It has a large enclosed parking lot. Parking was free. There was a valet, but no person staffing...

Hustler is a nice club in Washington Park, just east across the river from St Louis. It's about a ten minute drive from downtown STL. Parking is free in a large, well-lit lot (or...

Chicas Bonitas is a dive in North Las Vegas, across the street from Jerry's Nugget Casino and down the block from Palomino. Cover is only $5. Water was $6, I think, and shots for...

Palomino has been a favorite of mine for years, and I continue to visit when I'm in Las Vegas. It's a bit further from the strip than other clubs, situated in North Las Vegas...

Sapphire is a big, glitzy club that is very "Las Vegas". I visited on a recent Monday, taking advantage of their Monday Night Football deal. For only $25 you can get a ride to...

Vivide has been a consistent experience for me for some time now. I go back when I'm in Atlanta and am generally happy with the experience. The club is a short ride-share or drive from...

I tried Goldrush for the first time back in June, and decided to try again on a recent Thursday evening. As before, it was nearly dead when I arrived around 8:30pm, though it picked...

I want to like Diamond, if only to have somewhere to go besides Vivide that provides a similar experience. I've tried it a few times now, and each time there have been elements that...

Vivid is in midtown Manhattan. The entrance sends you down some stairs immediately. When I arrived around 10pm on a Wednesday there was nobody at the door so I walked in without paying a...

Hoops is in midtown Manhattan, near the Empire State Building and a few doors down from Rick's Cabaret. I visited twice, on a Tuesday around 10pm and Thursday around midnight. Cover was $20. A...

Brad's is a short drive from downtown Indy. They have free parking. Cover was $10. The club feels smaller than it is because it has a low ceiling and sight-obstructing columns throughout. There's a...

Chez Paree is one of several clubs in downtown Montreal. It's easy to walk to, and only a few blocks from a subway stop. Cover was $15 (CAD), with $10 paid at the counter...

Red Garter is the most convenient club if you're in downtown Indianapolis. It's easily walkable from the hotels, the convention center, and the various stadiums. There's one stretch under the old railroad that feels...

Brass Rail is in downtown Toronto, easily reached by foot or transit. I don't know what the parking situation would be. There was no cover for this main-floor club. Up the stairs is the...

Vivide is reviewed almost every other day, so I'm not sure my notes will add much value, but for completeness I figured I'd drop something brief to go with my reviews of Diamond and...

Goldrush was a bit further from my downtown hotel than either Diamond or Vivide, with the ride-share cost closer to $20 than $15. There was a pat down on the way in and a...

I arrived just before 5pm on a Tuesday afternoon via $15 ride-share from downtown. There was no pat down or other security on the way in. Cover was $10. The club is a long,...
