I haven't visited Avenues in a while, and my last trip was a pretty tame daytime excursion, so I decided to give the night shift a try this time around. I arrived a little after…

I arrived at the Criket at about 8:15 PM. The parking lot is a good size and there's no parking fee or valet. The lot didn't have that many cars in it, but I wasn't…

I arrived at Bogarts at 7:30 PM, noting that the parking lot was about half full, and I parked near the entrance of the building, hoping my car was on camera, just in case. Bogie's…

I pulled into the parking lot at about 6:15 PM, and the number of cars indicated that it probably wasn't going to be terribly busy inside. The parking lot is fenced, so there's a degree…

I hadn't been to the Peppermint Hippo in maybe a year, and I wanted to see how things had changed. I arrived at the club at just about midnight, noting as I pulled in that…

After a profoundly disappointing visit to Roxy's, I headed over to Platinum, arriving at about 10:40 PM. The club is in a strip mall area, and the parking lot is fairly well-lit. I've never felt…

Hadn't been to a club in probably a year, so when I found myself near Toledo Saturday I decided to see what I've been missing at this club. Turns out it ain't much. I stopped at…

Despite reading some fairly negative reviews about this club recently, I took a little trip to check it out for myself. It had been some time since I'd visited, so I wasn't sure what to…

I arrived at the PH at about 1:15 AM to a fairly full parking lot. The lot is wide open, no fencing, and no valet, but seems very safe. I've never had any misgivings about…

After a virtually fun-free trip to Buck's Trophy Club, I skipped across the road to Platinum Showgirls, at about 12:30 AM. The club is set in a strip mall, and the parking lot is pretty…

A few months ago I visited some Toledo clubs in the afternoon and was pretty disappointed. Buck's Trophy Club was particularly dead then, but I was told that if I made my next visit after…

I rarely go to Bogarts, as I almost never have a great time, but I found myself there just before 8:00 PM on a Sunday night. There's no valet at Bogies, and although it's not…

This visit was on a Friday night a few weeks ago. The fenced-in parking lot was fairly full, but I found a spot and then walked in at 10:15 PM. I paid $5 to the…

I arrived at the club at almost 6:30 PM on a Friday evening. There's a mandatory valet, although several years ago, on one of my first visits, they allowed me to park on the street…

Buck's Trophy Club is a small, mid-tier club that used to be called Scarlett's, then Buck's Rack City. And maybe something else. But way back in the Scarlett's days it was probably my favorite Toledo…

I showed up just before 5:00 PM and avoided the valet fee by parking in the lot across the street. I checked my coat with the door guy for $2 and a buck tip. Why…

I arrived at the Criket at about 3:20 PM, finding the parking lot about half full. It's a fenced-in lot, seems very secure, and there is no valet. I entered the club and for $3…

I found myself in Jackson recently, and decided to check out CJ, since it had been quite a while since I'd been there. Although I didn't have much time to spend, I wanted to see…

Avenues is a nice, homey little club situated on Michigan Ave., right next to a coney island and close to the Amtrak station. I've been there a few times and have always entered through the…

Dream Girls is a fairly large club in an industrial area of Lincoln Park on a street off Outer Drive. The parking lot isn't extremely well-lit, but has always seemed safe enough. I rolled into…

After a disappointing trip to Buck's Platinum, I wandered over to The Trophy Club, which is the new name for Buck's Rack City. I miss the days when it was Scarlett's, but whatever. I pulled in…

I decided to give a couple Toledo area clubs a shot this week, and Platinum was my first stop. The club is situated in a strip mall in a fairly decent area. As has been…

I decided to take a trip to the Centerfold after work today. It's kind of a dive, not situated in the greatest neighborhood, but I genuinely like the place. The parking lot is fenced in,…

Dream Girls is in an industrial section of Lincoln Park and has a large, safe parking lot with no valet. I walked in the door around 12:30 AM, and I was not surprised to find…

After a short and fairly dismal time at Hush on Saturday afternoon, I decided it was time to see how things are at Buck's Platinum. Actually, I initially wanted to visit Buck's Rack City (formerly…
