A Slow Holiday

Arrived by taxi after 9pm on a Wednesday night - Canada Day. No cover. There wasn't even anyone there for a wand or pat down. Attendance was sparse and remained so even at 11pm. Maybe…

Tally Ho Gentlemens Club

Rochester, NY

A Thursday visit

★★★★★★★★★6.7/10

Smallish building on a busy road. Some free parking with a little more next door. I've never been bothered for parking next door. If you come in the daytime it's very dark inside, it takes…

Cheerleaders

Pittsburgh, PA

What the ... ?

★★★★★★★★5.0/10

$10 cover, pat down. Head inside and the 'stage', such as it is, it's like 10 feet long and 5 feet wide with one pole, is an island inside of the circular bar. Chairs around…

Rick's Cabaret

Pittsburgh, PA

Fun but a little too clean

★★★★★★★★★7.7/10

ID checked by and $10 cover given to the girl at the door, who was not at all shy about asking for a tip for this "service". To the right from here is the rest…

Mirage

Rochester, NY

"What's new at Mirage?" you ask. Fruit flies! Just another symptom of this club's long descent into oblivion. Arrived after 11pm on a Friday. $10 cover, license scan, no metal detector or pat down. Only 2…

New Locomotion Club

Afternoon Delight

★★★★★★★★★8.0/10

Arrived around 1pm on a Thursday. The place is in what I guess I would call a business park. Looked to me like adequate free parking but I took a rideshare from the hotel. No…

Avoid the sharks

★★★★★★★★5.3/10

Entered after midnight on a Wednesday, no cover, no scan. Fairly busy, guessing 15 dancers and 50 customers. Really big open room, stage in the center, two poles which only go up about 6 feet…

Gia is worth it

★★★★★★★★★6.7/10

Walked up the stairs and through the door around 10:30PM on a Friday. Paid $20 cover charge (argh!), had ID scanned (argh!), got wanded. Turned a corner and walked another 20 feet into the main…

Sundowner

Niagara Falls, ON

Give Selena your money

★★★★★★★★★7.3/10

Several decent lap dances, nothing outrageously bad or good. Physical layout same as it has been for several years. No bathroom troll during the time I was there (5-9:30). I stopped in Saturday just after 5pm.…

Visited on a Friday night after 10pm. $10 cover. There was a metal detector but I didn't see anyone made to go through it. Looked like adequate parking. As you enter the stage is directly…

Barrel

Rochester, NY

Finally a positive experience here

★★★★★★★★★7.7/10

A standalone building in a quietish part of the city. Adequate parking lot. Walking distance (1 mile) from the entertainment area in the East End. Large stage elevated about three feet surrounded by barrel bar…

Upper Brass

Toronto, ON

Upper only in altitude

★★★★★★★★★6.3/10

Finally tried Upper Brass on a Friday night at 10:30. Admission was $30 (I thought he said 50 and said "pardon me?", then he said 30, but this may have just been my poor hearing).…

Foxy's

Foxes @ Foxys

★★★★★★★★★7.7/10

I've been to this place on and off going on 20 years now, though it has changed ownership and sometimes been closed over that time. I'd say it's going through one of its cleaner periods…

Magic City Lounge

Cleveland, OH

Open but the theme is "flabby"

★★★★★★★★4.3/10

Was (re?)open 2023-08-07. 11pm on a Monday. It's kind of a light industrial area. The streets were empty but well-lighted. Got a pat down from security and went inside, no cover. Bar, maybe 10 tables,…
