If you travel more than average and visit clubs around the country, you start to get a feel for what works and what doesn't - both from a business operations model, and a physical layout…

Unlike some cities where the post-lockdown club scene can be expected to return to something very close to a pre-pandemic state (looking at you, metro Detroit), between the navigation of new rules and the possibly…

Since the re-lockdown in lower Michigan I was expecting not to experience any live entertainment for a while, but cruising past BT's I was surprised to see they were still open so I decided to…

Choosing Henry's for my first official post-Covid outing was sort of a calculated risk. I figured the parking lot would be a good gauge of how full the club was without wasting a cover charge…

The Detroit strip club market is famous in certain circles (such as this very forum) for a large number of clubs where "full service" can be found. Unlike many metro areas where that service is…

Given how often strip clubs close or change names & ownership, it's rare to find one that's been around as long as Atlanta's Tattletale Lounge. Originally opened circa 1976, the club gained national prominence with…

One of the larger clubs in metro Pittsburgh, Club Erotica doesn't have a lot of parking available so taking a cab or Uber might be advisable. McKees Rocks can be a rough area, especially after…

North Carolina doesn't have a strong reputation as a clubbing state despite its size and geographic diversity.  With this in mind I usually skip any strip club visits when my travels take me through the…

Even the most casual browser of this site has to have picked up on the near-legendary status of Follies as one of "best" clubs in Atlanta, and arguably nationwide.  Although it's the most-reviewed club on…

Clubbing in metro LA can be a roll of the dice. While Hollywood dreams draw a neverending supply of some of the world's most attractive young women, outside the near-legendary City of Industry clubs it…

Since the near-simultaneous closure of four metro Atlanta strip clubs there's been a diaspora of dancers migrating to other clubs, which in some cases is enough to change the overall quality of the venues where…

By just about any definition, a trip to Henry VIII Inkster qualifies as "slumming it."  Usually I stick to $10 dance Mondays to scout for any diamonds in the rough, but I had decided to…

Metro Detroit is well known - at least on this site - for the multiude of clubs offering a range of experiences to satisfy nearly every taste and budget. Most of the attention goes to…

The Pony is one of the lesser-known strip club chains, and compared to competitors like Deja Vu or Spearmint Rhino doesn't seem to have a strong brand identity.  In general franchise operations rarely seem to…

When considering alternatives to Follies in the Atlanta clubbing market, there are usually a number of candidates: Tattletale, Cheetah, Pink Pony, and Oasis are all known for quality dancers but questionable mileage (and/or value) compared…

The Tattletale Lounge, made (in)famous by its mention in Motley Crue's strip club anthem "Girls, Girls, Girls," has been around over 40 years.  My first visit wasn't nearly that long ago, but it does date…

The greater Detroit area has a well-deserved reputation as a clubbing paradise, but if you're looking to club on a Sunday afternoon your options are pretty limited.  While just about every club operates seven days…

The Cheshire Bridge Road area is almost infamous to those familiar with Atlanta's adult entertainment scene. Within a one-mile radius there's one of the highest densities of strip clubs, massage parlors, adult video stores, and…

A few years ago the Greenville-Spartanburg metro area had built up a reputation for several solid clubs worth a visit.  But with the takedown of Platinum Plus and the crackdown on anything resembling fun at…

Had some time to kill in downtown Hollywood so I decided to throw caution and mediocre reviews to the wind and stop in Deja Vu. I'd say it's everything you should expect from a chain…

The strip club scene in SoCal has an interesting dynamic. The draw of LA to girls with dreams of becoming a star means you have a much higher than average supply of quality women choosing…

One of the Michigan Avenue Dearborn clubs, BT's is solidly "upper middle tier" in terms of club ambience but seems to have pretensions of being slightly more upscale than it actually is. Valet is your only…

The name of this club may be inconsistent (Cricket or Criket, with or without the Silver), but as one of metro Detroit's better "mid-tier" clubs the quality, level of service, and overall value of the…

Strip clubs near airports are commonplace in many U.S. cities, but there are comparatively few "upscale" establishments that fit that mold.  Bare Elegance in Hawthorne (often referenced as BE LAX) provides top-shelf eye candy in…

Was passing through Battle Creek on a Monday night and decided to see what sort of diversions TUSCL might recommend in the area.  Based on reviews it seemed like Vegas Strip and Heart Beats were…
