Thank you for an excellent review. I am pleased that some reviews are read and the intel is put to good use. You do raise an interesting point: is a higher class woman worth the 2-3x price for satisfaction? i.e. WiseGuys vs Dollies? Same comparison can be made in escort vs. stripper. Stripper is 10 bucks a minute ($200 for 20 minutes in private) vs. $200 for an hour session with an escort ($3.33 per minute) looking at it from a strictly return-on-investment aspect. And the other consideration is a stripper wants to milk all she can...tips, drinks, dances, etc. and once she has your money, drops you like a prom dress and moves on to the next PL. With an escort, the money is paid upfront, you know how much you have to spend, with no upcharges (unless you negotiate for something "extra" that she provides....i.e."oh, you want anal, honey, well I can do that for a little more") Basic salesmanship.

An excellent review, and I appreciate the details given. It's a shame you were subjected to a bar squabble. I have been to Wise Guys several times and never encountered anything like that; I'm sorry your experience was so awful. Thank you for taking the time to review the club with the detail you provided.

I would have liked a description of the entertainer involved (not her name, just a description) so I could relate who you were with. Thank you for the review; and, yes, WP is a hidden gem if you're wanting a more "hands-on" strip club experience

Well, everyone's definition of "high mileage" varies, but my experience at Hollywood is the couch dances are $25, no touching below the waist, and minimal groping allowed. If grinding on your lap is what you seek, go for it for one song for $25. However, in Washington Park, "high mileage" usually means more access to the nether regions and extra goodies provided for a reasonable price. To each his own.

Quite an extensive advertisement for the club. At least you were upfront about it being an ad, and not trying to disguise your review as a club advertisement.

YMMV at these clubs, of course. But I had an offer, from a not-very-attractive dancer of $25 for a visit behind the beads. (didn't partake) and the the slender white girl you mention with the strange haircut...I think I know who you mean.....once was $40 short at the end of her shift, and I got my one, and only, $40 BBBJ. A matter of timing and negotiation skills.

You assume "racial profiling" however it might be just as possible that they have a reduced rate for couples..and since you state that your BF is Hispanic/black, they didnt upcharge you despite his race. Another thought to consider...and this is common practice at several clubs I have visited in different states, black guys normally dont tip well, are prone to causing disturbances (In St Louis these are called gun-fights, your venue my differ) and are aggressive and demeaning to the strippers. Just a thought....consider other reasons...may be no racism at all, just good business practices.

and I might add, I find a DJ in these clubs annoying and totally unnecessary. I think it detracts from the ambiance (ambiance in a strip club???????) and diminishes the chances for conversation with the Lady of your choosing. Maybe a DJ is some sort of left over idea from 60 years ago when they had burlesque shows as entertainment.

"research purposes"....LOL...ya, right, gottcha, my friend...LOL...as is so often said, your mileage may vary, whether it be Springfield, St Louis, Dallas, or Phoenix.

Always enjoy reading your reviews, Loneli...."tease and a jerk, with you being the jerk"...classic!!!! Hope you dont mind me using that at the appropriate time in a future visit to one of the many dives in Washington Park, Il.

Cookie, AKA Unique, has been around for a while. Her boyfriend (pimp?) insists she make $200 a night for him, so she works hard toward that goal. I once was there at the end of her shift and she was frantic because she only had made $160. Viola! My first and only $40 bj! In life, timing is everything! And I agree, her ass is outstanding...her boobs are starting to show the evil effects of gravity however. So sad, but gravity wins in the end.

Mr Deuce, I noticed that Cheeks had not been reviewed since October, so I thought I would do an update and see if matters have improved there. The whole atmosphere there is a downer. Girls act depressed and not at all interested in engaging the few customers that wander through. Most customers I observed leave before even finishing their drink. There is a pall over the entire establishment, just a gloomy atmosphere. You're quite right, there are other clubs that offer so much more for your entertainment dollar.

An excellent review of the club and the ladies. I've been to every club in Washington Park except Hustler and the review made me feel like I had visited, the detail was very appreciated. If I visit there, I will have a good idea of what to expect and the prices for the services. Thank you for the effort you put into this review

There is an interesting dichotomy of services at these clubs. Some, like Hollywood, LFHC, and the majority of the clubs are stripper/dancers and the most you can expect is a high- friction lapdance, minimal touching. Others, like the dives in Washington Park, are quite simply fronts for prostitution. Very little "dancing" ever takes place, these are more appropriately termed "hostess bars" and the sole purpose is to lure the customer behind the beads (or into a private room) to sell her body for sex. Strictly speaking, the houses of prostitution in Washington Park are not "strip clubs". Anyone disagree?

I agree with you, 623. It is a bit of a double-edged sword. In retrospect, it probably was better to omit the ladys' name. However, these women are here strictly to vacuum as much cash as possible from the customer-never overlook that sad fact. In truth, they probably hold the pathetic losers who frequent their clubs in as low esteem as we regard them. There are no hookers with a "heart of gold". Some put on a very good act and they are the ones who are successful in relieving you of your hard-earned cash....the stories of well-intentioned men giving these ladies money ( for their teary-eyed personal crisis) are legion, and I count myself in that sad fraternity. They exist in their occupation because they can make more money providing sex than getting a normal job. They are not victims, they are predators. We, sir, are the prey.

Thank you for the review. I have driven past this establishment before, but it did not look very inviting-Brooklyn, like Washington Park, is not a wise choice for an unarmed white guy after dark. The adjacent book store is a notorious gay hangout-cinema and gloryholes-, but I had no clue about the club. Doesn't sound like it would be worth a stop: probably isn't open during daylight hours, and the other choices nearby-Pink Slip and Bottoms Up-offer more on the menu. Wasn't that many years ago Brooklyn was rockin',: I don't think any of the five clubs are open during the day. Slowly but surely drying up. I think as more and more guys figure out they can get an escort for the same or less money they would spend at a "strip" club, their niche will continue to contract. Simple economics: an escort for $200 for an hour, or throw money at a stripper (or "hostess" depending on the club) and spend as much for quite a bit less time on target,. Pays your money and takes your chances.

Tomo, the "shock" you are receiving is from the static electricity generated by the stage lighting. If you run your hand along the dancers leg, you can feel the charge along her skin. But the fun part is to sit at the stage with a dancer and let the performing dancer "shock" the girl sitting there on the nipples. Depending on the amount of charge generated, she will either get a pleasant surge as her nipple is touched, or she will squeal in pain as her nipple is touched. Very much like the static charge you feel at home as you walk across your rug and build up and get a jolt when you touch a metal doorknob. And now that I reflect on it,... At Hollywood, this is about the most fun you can have there now. It takes so little to amuse some mongers.

Based upon your recommendation, esteemed monger, I will forego MK and focus my attention and hard-earned cash on Wiseguys, Blondies, and Dollies. Most bang for the buck. (No pun intended)

Thank you for saving me $500! I always wondered if the VIP rooms were worth it: apparently not! Scratching LFHC off my list of places to visit. much cheaper/better entertainment available at the other dive bars in WP.

I always enjoy your well-written, detailed accounts, Mr. Deuce. My only suggestion is that if you score as you described, could you include the Lovelies name so we might also partake. Appreciate your efforts, thank you.

This may be a conflict in posting rules, propping my own review, but I felt the need to elaborate on the "hit or miss" comments regarding Washington Park clubs. I hear you ask, just how skanky does it get? Thank you for asking: a return trip to Blondies and only two girls working. I chose the white girl, the heavyset black girl not at all appealing to me. In the private room, the lighting is overhead blacklights in fluorescent tubes. Interesting concept....however.....blacklights cause anything white to be extremely accentuated. You see where I am going here? When Ms. Washington Park- beauty contest -contestant dropped her panties, what was painfully obvious were the tiny shreds of toilet tissue balled up inside her holy-of-holies. This, I assure you, does not inspire an erection. So much for DATY today. Could have been worse, I suppose, had her time of the month arrived. Moral of the story: toilet tissue is not an effective wiping material to cleanse the nether regions.

Reply to Craig-I assure you my review is not an AD, just an honest opinion of my brief visit. I had a nice time in my brief visit and the price was right. Honestly I was surprised at the quality of the entertainers (except Debbie-way over the hill) I wasn't expecting much since I had read previous reviews of Blondies; price was right and I enjoyed my visit....its all hit and miss at these clubs.

Just a word of caution about dancer "Sage" you referenced: she was fired for having a total screaming melt down. The woman is unbalanced and could go off at any moment. Beware of her, plenty of other women to choose from who aren't druggie head cases. Think with your other head about the disease factor with Sage. Just a friendly warning
