Upscale Feeling, Medoicre Vibes for a Tuesday
I was in Tampa and went out of my way to go to Oz due to the amount of positive reviews I have seen for this club here and services provided. I would say this is a medium sized club with full bar service which is what interested me. It has an upscale feeling, but I wouldn't say I loved the ambiance...granted it was a Tuesday. Pretty standard setup, walk in and bar is straight ahead, it's a fairly large bar with seating all around in a oval-type format so you can say way back in the corner and still get drinks, or you can sit closer to the stage. Vibes were interesting, more dancers than PLs which is a must for me, so that was good. There was someone with bottle service and they had 2-3 people there and probably 8 dancers hanging out with them...even with that happening, the dancer ratio was favorable. Sometimes dancers at clubs are too aggressive...I think the dancers here were maybe a little too passive, I had to go up to a couple of dancers to initiate the conversation. Overall the dancers were OK...the ones that I vibed with were asking for way too much for dances and everything else...expensive to try out the waters here. I would say most of the dancers here were a 6, or 7+...not bad! Ended up settling with a below average dancer who wasn't asking for crazy $$$, I stayed firm at my lower amount and since it was the end of the night she agreed and off to the VIP we went. I would recommend this club if you have money to spend. Very expensive to get single dances with who you are vibing with. I like a club where I can go and get $20-$30 dances to try things out, this is not the place for that unless you are prepared to spend a lot of money. I think I played this right, I held out until I found a dancer that was in my price range and stayed firm. 30 min VIP later and I left satisfied with the visit.

Great Value, Great VIP
Let's start out with the layout of the club....big place, two stories, you enter on the second story and there is a huge section down below. This place looks like it could have been great...I wouldn't say it's rundown, but definitely not in good shape. There are a few areas to sit upstairs, very open here tough, but there is a private space off to the right which is decent. Bar and bathroom downstairs, stages downstairs as well. From the reviews, I went here expecting good value, which I did find, but took some time. Don't come here for the ambiance or vibe. Talent was all over the board...mostly toward the lower end of the scale, and mostly AA. I showed up late at night and there were only AA dancers around...not a lot either, about 3-5 total at the time. None of them really interested me, but I was bored and got some dances. Not impressed by these at all, although they were cheap...about $20 per song. I stuck around for a while until some Cubans showed up later in the evening, almost when I was about to leave. I saw one that I liked, but she was shy and just stood by the bar. Some of the more aggressive ones showed up and talked to me, I got some dances which were great, 10/10. Ended up going to the Cuban I saw at the bar and getting a dance with her...she told me $300 for everything, so off we went to the VIP area. I think this might be one of my favorite not-expensive VIP areas I have found. Big area with comfortable couches you can lay on...it is only a curtain and close to the bar, but the music was very loud so it didn't matter. Another 10/10 experience, this time in the VIP...after that was done I headed out. The neighborhood this club is in isn't the best, I didn't completely feel safe in the parking lot. I've been here a couple of times and would recommend waiting for a Uber/etc inside the club instead of outside or in the parking lot.

Becoming a Bit Formulaic
Ton of reviews on here about this club so I'll stick to the highlights - fairly large club, pretty well-lit. There are two stories with bars on each floor, the second floor is more of a balcony overlooking the main area and stages and is more dimly lit. Overall this club is great, it probably has the best variety, number, and talent for dancers of any club. If you spend enough time here, you will be sure to find a few that interest you. The only bummer about Baby Dolls is if you see someone on the main stage who interests you, it takes about 15-20 min for them to make the rounds at the other satellite stages before they are available. That being said, there is always a ton of girls around hanging out to help you fill the time. I would say the talent is top tier, especially given the amount of girls there - I rarely see anyone that doesn't interest me. I do think this club is becoming a bit more structured than it used to be, but that might be a personal experience. In the past, I could find someone to talk to for a while before being asked for a dance...now I think the word is out about how accessible extra activities are upstairs in the chair forts, that the dancers seek these customers and identify if they can make more $$$ for their time or not. Probably about 30% of dancers are open to this kind of interaction...doesn't take long for you to figure this out. Overall a great place, awesome ambiance, minimal hustle, amazing talent and numbers. I don't think I could ever come here and be disappointed, no matter what I'm looking for.

As Advertised
I’ll be quick on the description of the club as there are already many reviews, you walk in and there are two separate square bars and two different stages. One main stage and one very small rectangular stage. There is a separate section where regular dances happen and another section where VIP dances happen. Both sections for daces are very private. I read some reviews of this being a regulars club and this is definitely the feel I got on a Tuesday night. There were probably 12 or so girls there but they were very busy, I would say 2 patrons for every 1 girl. The mix was good, about 25% AA, a few Hispanic, and the rest white. I normally go to clubs and there ends up being more dancers than patrons, so this was a bit different. I was there for a little over an hour and was only approached by a handful of dancers, most of which didn’t interest me. I ended up getting a VIP dance from a blonde who stopped by twice to talk to me. The first time she was pretty coy and a little standoffish, but the second time she was very handy and straight forward. Having heard about this club from this website, I decided to try my luck in the VIP area. It was $40 to the club and $100 to the girl and right what I expected. She didn’t waste any time and went right to work with her hands. I asked if anything else was available and she said no…normally I could clarify before going into VIP but I wasn’t getting much attention as is so I couldn’t be picky. I would say this is a regulars club from my experience there, I saw many girls pass patrons and seemingly go straight for certain individuals. Overall I wasn’t too impressed with the talent compared to a club like Baby Dolls, but the mileage was definitely there and seemingly easy to get. I could see why this is such a highly rated club, I didn’t have the most amazing time there but would definitely visit again.

Don't Hear About Chicas Often, Great Club if You're Looking for Something Extra
I came into town on a Sunday and visited this club - didn't see a lot of review for this, but I know the Chicas brand from places like Dallas and Vegas and had an idea of what to expect. Didn't spend a ton of time here (didn't need to) but it was right in line with the other Chicas locations I have been to. The overall feel of the club wasn't great. When I got there, I approached the door and a man was walking outside as I was entering. I had never been here before and thought this was a patron, he didn't say anything to me and as I attempted to walk by he stuck his hand out to stop me and said "ID". I didn't comprehend him at first, I asked him what he said and he said, "what are you doing, show me your ID". He wasn't posed up like a normal bouncer and I wasn't sure if the ID check happened inside or outside, it was a little off-putting to start. Showed him my ID, received a pat down, then went in. It's a small club, you enter and take a left and immediately see the one stage, table seating on one side of the stage and booths on the other side of the stage. The bar is to the right, and the VIP section is on the opposite side of the bar. I went on a Sunday in the afternoon and it was packed, like no seats available packed. I went to the bar, got a beer, and hung out there for a bit. There were a good amount of girls there, but it was pretty busy. I sat at the bar for maybe 2-3 minutes before I was approached...the longest it has ever taken me at a Chicas establishment. Overall the girls were very pretty, obviously all spanish speaking and some spoke a bit of english. About half the girls were 5s or lower, the other half in the 6-8 range, didn't see anyone that I would put in the 9-10 range, but I thought there were plenty of options. The first girl approached me but I wasn't into it, I told her I was good for now and she left immediately. I sat there for another few minutes before someone else came up, this girl was tall, slender, had some good MMs and probably a 7. She was pretty aggressive and asked me if I wanted to do a dance. I said yes, and asked for a VIP dance which came out to $20 per dance. She said $200 total to finish in VIP and I said we'll see how it goes - she took about one song and asked again, I said not now but she went for it. A couple of songs later and I was ready to leave. Paid $200 and tipped $20 as I left, I was in VIP for about 3 songs total. I knew what I was looking for when I went to this club, it didn't disappoint. Was a quick visit, but was surprised how easy it was given the reputation Phoenix seems to have as a no extras city. (I don't go here often, so I take other's word for it) If you are looking for a somewhat grungy, budget-friendly experience in Phoenix, this is definitely a good spot. I went to other clubs in the area that had much better looking girls, but this had what I was looking for.

Still a Great Place for Milage Post-Raid
Much has been said about Purple Orchid and it's layout - there is nothing special about this place, as you enter the club there is a square bar in the center of the room (the whole place is basically a big box) with a pole in the middle of the bar. I visited on a Tuesday around 10PM and it was somewhat busy, about 5-10 dancers working and about as many patrons as well. It's not a classy club but not a total dump either. (But trending toward more of a dump) The reason I came here was because of Purple Orchid's reputation, and I wasn't disappointed. I was a bit concerned things had calmed down since the reported raid (I don't know what it was like before) but my visit unfolded as intended. The girls here are not the most attractive you have seen, I would say most are on the thick side and mostly in the 4-6 range and mostly AA. I ended up spending all my time with a white girl who was probably a 6 - she had a decent body and was able carry conversation well. All in all, nothing special. After talking with her for a bit she offered everything unprompted for two benjis, that included the dance time and the room. I came here looking for value and it definitely delivered. I would recommend this club if you are looking for good milage and below average talent. From my experience and total time spent here, it looks like everything is on the table for a relatively cheap rate. I'd say this is a good last club to visit for the night to end on a high note.
