This was my first visit in probably two years since I moved to a southern state in anticipation of retirement, and my visits 'home' have been few and far between. This was during a…

I hate when reputations and stereotype prove themselves. I am far from alone in the near-perpetual complaint about the all too predictable stereotypic dancer at Bogart's - too thick ! - and rarely the exception…

Some things do not seem to change - including the thick build of the vast majority of entertainers here. Yesterday was, if my memory serves me well, my first visit here in close to two…

Just returned from a too-long extended winter down South - and will gladly stay put in my home state now till after Christmas. Although I made a few short trips back North to check on…

I'm a longtime customer here - although I post much less often than I visit including in normal (pre-COVID) years. This year is obviously an exception. I hobby (Clubs etc) much much less often. This is…

Well - like everyone - been thinking of testing the COVID waters (or post-COVID waters, depending on your take on it) in my favorite hobby - it's been way too long - but gotta do…

So - I'm now semi-retired and last week started what will be a series of month-long stays in South Florida separated by a few weeks every once in a while back up North. DD's had…

This is my local neighborhood dive when I am in Michigan, and I get here a couple of times a month when I am up north. General background - written for the benefit of members…

The baseball analogies persist for my favorite sport when I am back up North. (Trouble is that Michigan can be as hot and humid for extended stretches as Florida in the summer - another story.) Back…

Ok, it's my favorite neighborhood bar. Ok, i've been here so often the past five years I cannot count the number of visits. And yes - there is consensus from anyone who is a regular…

It's been quite a while - but back when I split my time between the frozen north and south Florida this was one of my go-to places. Now - that was before I joined this…

It has been a long time since I last visited this club, which once upon a time was my go-to local hangout, so I figured that it was time to see whether the turnoffs (basically…

I had the gift of "found time" Sunday, and on short notice too, so I scampered out to enjoy a sudden free evening. (For those who don't know the concept: for those of us who are…

Those who know this club know it is hit or miss to find what you are looking for. There can be long droughts and then several visits in a row when the diamond in the…

I alluded to a negative experience here a while back and promised to share details of really my only bad experience of this sort here. I am finally doing so in this review. I am doing…

For those who know the southeast Michigan scene, my occasional reviews describing inconsistency at Bogie's (once upon a time my favorite local place) are no different from what others' experiences here and from what others…

Another wasted night at Bogey's - the place that defines inconsistency. As usual, I often have the opportunity to hit the Clubs only on short notice - and since Bogey's is the closest of these establishments…

Finally had the chance to pay a mid-evening visit (arrived about 830pm) on a recent Monday (latter part of November). In the past due to circumstances my visits were weekend afternoons or evenings, or weekday late…

Not my first time at Subi's - so I took the sage advice of several regulars who responded to my earlier post(s) - of this club and of others in the area - in…

I decided to give this club another chance. On prior visits I kept running into the same issue - of a preponderance of thick dancers. I'm drawn here because it is the closest to a true…

(Note to reader: this review is not meant as negatively as I'm sure many will find it. You will see what I mean in a few sentences below.) Well - I can't say I wasn't warned…

The quest continues to find a club which I might find comfortable enough to call my new 'home club'. Faithful readers will recall that I decided to ditch my previous haunt because of what one…

The saga continues as I continue to look for a new favorite hangout SC in southeast Michigan. As I stated in my review about 2 months ago of Bogart's around the corner from here, which…

This was my first visit to the Cricket (also known as the Silver Cricket). I'm a longtime southeast Michigan SC guy going back over 10 years - but my ability to consistently hit these clubs…

Bogie's is my local go-to when i know what i want and that i'm - usually - going to reliably get what i want. It is not a snobby high-end expensive shiny snooty place. But…
