I went ahead and clicked Monday Evening above, but this is really a review based on multiple visits at various times. Club Fantasies is definitely my favorite Providence club, especially now that I've sampled, out of curiosity, most of the others. Physically, it's neither dirty and sleazy nor especially posh. I mean, the place is clean, even the bathrooms, and the tables and chairs are not falling apart. Pretty typical strip club ambiance. The DJs are of variable quality, and I've always preferred clubs where the dancers choose their own music--they're more into it then--but that doesn't seem to be the norm in Providence. I've never tried the food, because it seems to me food is a stupid thing to spend money on in a strip club.

What sets the place apart from other Providence clubs is the dancers. I'm not talking about looks--call me picky, but in all of my years occasionally visiting strip clubs I've never been to one where I saw more than a handful of dancers I had any interest in getting to know. Fantasies is about average there, though I will say that I've never been there and failed to see at least one attractive dancer. What's different is the attitude, and I guess the best way to describe it is middle of the road. It's not like the Cadillac, where if you're not a regular you can sit for an hour without being approached by a single dancer, but it's also not like Cheaters, where every horrifyingly desperate dancer in the place is in your face whether you want them there or not. I'm approached pretty regularly whenever I go to Fantasies, but only once has a dancer failed to take the hint if I wasn't interested.

Okay, now the good stuff. Private dances. In fairness, I'm not made of money, so I really haven't had a lot of private dances in Providence. In comparing one club to another, I may really just be comparing individual dancers. Still, all three of my top three favorite private dancers are at Club Fantasies. All three have taken "full contact" to mean full contact. The only things I can think of that I was not allowed to do were french kissing and anything that required the removal of my pants. (And, out of respect, I didn't try either of those things, so I guess I can't say for sure that they wouldn't have flown.) With one dancer in particular (I won't mention a name) I'm almost positive she "enjoyed" herself as much as I did--and I left with my shirt tail hanging out of my pants, if you know what I mean. (Moaning is one thing, but there are things you can't fake.) Most important of all, for me, anyway, is that the dancers will have a conversation with you. You can ask about their day, what they do when they're not working, etc., and they'll ask you those things, and you can have a nice chat. And all of the ones I've met have actually had brains.
