I stopped by around 1:15 a.m., about 45 minutes before closing. There will still quite a few customers, and the dancers had a rotation on the main stage, circle the club for tips, and…

I stopped by on a weeknight, around 9:30. The club is in an easily walkable area, which was deserted In the immediate vicinity but close enough to activity that I wasn’t concerned. As…

Mpire's daytime shift has gotten a little more consistent, thankfully,and they seem to have gotten past their staffing problems that often kept them closed until late in the afternoo . There're two specials that…

I didn't spend a lot of time here, and the price/minute was high, but satisfaction was very high too. I came in--no cover during the day--and sat down, then ordered a drink. The…

DC’s club scene has the downtown clubs—Camelot, Archibalds, and Mpire—which are expensive and aim to be “classy.” Theres Royal Palace, which is kind of a dump. And there’s Good Guys, which, atmospherically,…

I was in SF on business recently, and I stopped by Gold Club for lunch. I can get the free buffet and chalk up a couple of drinks as "lunch" on the expense report.…

I've got to echo the other recent reviews. For quite a few years, CCR was a distant also-ran to the better DC clubs. The girls were a step or three down, the place…

I stopped by around 2:30 p.m. on a Tuesday afternoon. The club says it opens at noon, but there was NO ONE there, other than a manager and what looked like a hostess going…

I've been coming here regularly during the day shift for a couple of years now, and the quality has declined in some ways (while remaining high in others). The biggest problem with their day shift is…

I spent a year in Beaumont almost a decade ago, when the Gold Club was still the gold standard. That was a decent club, but it was harder to get to.. Temptations is much…

I was checking out a number of clubs on the Block. I stepped in to see the sights. The layout's similar to all of the other clubs, but it was fairly well lit.…

Detroit got a real range of clubs, from high-end titty bars to places where they'll negotiate the price of anything before you head back to get serviced. Bouzouki, for me, falls closer to the…

Camelot remodeled about a year ago, but it seems like that mostly involved changing the facade and redoing some of the upholstery. It's got the best-looking dancers in DC--there're some stunning women here.…

I've spent time at a couple of clubs in town. Brad's Brass Flamingo was pretty good, Babe's East was a dump, and the other clubs fell in between. For my money, Dancers is…

Mpire's happy hour is a great deal. $5 for full pints of Dogfish Head, Fat Tire, Brooklyn Lager, or Allagash White from 4-7 weekdays. The dancer lineup, however, is limited. There'll often be only…

I had some time to kill, and I happened to be right by Rick's, so I stopped in. This place was almost pitch-black inside; even after my eyes adjusted, I could barely see.…

I'd never been to a black strip club before. I showed up early in the afternoon; park across the street in the very large church parking lot. Cover was $14. Inside, things…

Mpire just opened in the old 1819 space next to Camelot. The interior is very, very nice; wood paneling, moderate light levels, everything clean and new. The drink prices are high, but the pours…

This place is a dump. Avoid. On a recent visit to Indianapolis, I wanted to try a couple of the local clubs. I picked Babe's East for the first foray. I got there,…

Archibalds is one of a handful of downtown D.C. strip clubs. Until recently, there were really only three, and Archibalds was the middle-class option. I spent a lot of time there some years…
