I returned to Rick’s this week after several months away. Plenty of new talent and, by my tastes at least, better talent than I saw the last time. Greeted by Portia (Porsche?) upon sitting down. Typically,…

The Place: A small venue situated in an industrial area. Ample, secure, and well-lit parking. Dated interior: more “neighborhood bar” than “strip club” in terms of vibe. The Dancers: Given the generally positive ratings and the fact that…

I’ve shared a couple reviews of Rick’s (and several other Chicago area clubs) previously. This one will be shorter to avoid duplicative content and is posted mainly to share an expensive mistake I made: falling…

I’ve never been here before, but have long intended to stop by at some point given generally favorable reviews. After not-so-great experiences at my usual places—Polekatz and Rick’s—I decided to give Club 390 a try,…

Visited last week. Hadn’t been in years, back when it was called “pink monkey” and under different ownership. But curiosity got the better of me. Paid the cover and walked upstairs. Meager selection. Maybe 6…

Rick’s remains a solid option for city-dwellers and city-visitors that don’t have the time or inclination to head to frankly better suburban options such as Gold Room and Polekatz. I’ve covered the place in prior…

Polekatz has long been my favorite Chicago area club. The venue is large, classy, clean and well maintained. There are a ton of dance location options: open rooms, multiple types of private rooms. And there…

Decided to check out 4Play while in town for business for the week based on (1) proximity to my hotel and (2) rave reviews about dancer attractiveness. I was less impressed than most, which I’ll chalk…

Gold Room is the sister club of Polekatz, my area favorite. While I’ve visited Polekatz several times, for whatever reason, I hadn’t been to Gold Room before. The two clubs have a lot in common,…

I'm not from the area, but enjoy strip clubs, so figured I'd give Hustler Club a shot. The focus here is definitely stage shows. And the girls really put on a great show. Impressive pole tricks.…

I frequent Rick's more than any other club in the Chicago area. Not because it's the best (for me, that would be PoleKatz), but because it's the most convenient. Once upon a time, the best…

Among the larger, Las Vegas-style clubs in the Chicago area (including Atlantis, Club390), PoleKatz has bounced back best from the pandemic. Other places have let to recover and, unfortunately, likely never will, leaving us with…
