I love this club! I've been...

I love this club! I've been going to the Flame for over 20 years now and think it is probably the most underrated strip club in Atlanta. The club is family (black) owned and is the only one to have survived the liquor license freeze of the late '90s, under the corrupt mayor, Bill Campbell. You've gotta give them props, just for that. While other clubs faded into a distant memory (Nikki's, The Gentlemen's Club, Montrae's, etc.), they've managed to still be here! The architecture of the building looks as though it was designed for the sole purpose of being a strip club. The club is a decent, cozy size. However, depending on what night you visit, you might think it a bit cramped. Like any strip club, the Flame goes through its share of crowd ebb and flow but for the most part, it remains fairly consistent, from night to night. However, Thursday-Saturday nights are by far their most crowded, with Thursday being the biggest (Amateur Night). There is some mild "thuggery," however, security is the tightest of any strip club in the ATL, I'm talking Secret Service tight (equipped with radio earpieces and all)! The club has a very safe environment. I've always advised girlfriends of mine, who are/were strippers, to work at the Flame. There are cameras everywhere and depending on what you may be trying to get away with, that could be considered a gift or a curse. A lot of that depends on the girl. It has been my experience that if you have a girl who's with your agenda, there's nothing you can't get away with, on the floor of any strip club. It all depends on your level of nerve and skill and the girl's too, of course, which leads me to one of the club's drawbacks. There are no Private VIP rooms! This might be a good thing, if your girlfriend is a stripper, working at the Flame (which is one of the reasons I prefer mine work there). However, if you're looking for a private, freaky and more intimate encounter, this isn't what you want.<br>

The girls are absolutely beautiful! There is definitely an eclectic variety. They are very friendly and mostly down to earth. You can certainly find whatever you're looking for at the Flame. There was a time, in Atlanta, when most clubs charged $10 for table dances. Some clubs charged $5 and you could see a difference in the quality of the girls. Back then, it was worth paying $10 just to see better looking girls. Well, the Flame changed the game, by improving the quality of the girls doing $5 dances. These girls are gorgeous and I would put them up against any others, from any club. There really is no need to pay twice the price, when the standard of beauty is the same, or better! If you're a girl wanting to dance at the Flame, go for it! do NOT allow the $5 pricing to fool you into thinking you're being short changed. There is mad money in the building. I've befriended several girls, over the years, and I've not known one to complain about the money. Everyone at the Flame makes money! Most of the more experienced girls will tell you that $5/$10 club debate is moot. When it's all said and done, it's up to you and your level of hustle that determines what kind of money you make in any club, regardless of what they charge for dances. It all works out to be about the same anyway, after tip out and fees. The waitresses and bartenders look as good as the dancers; I hate that they wear clothes! The bar is well stocked, with a variety of most top self liquors, wines and beers. The DJs are second to none. In fact, there have been times when I've gone just to hear the DJ! One DJ, in particular, has even gone on to be one of Atlanta's most successful radio personalities. Overall, the atmosphere of the club is clean and pleasant. The bathrooms even have running hot water (lol), without that annoying attendant, who seems to think I actually need his help to wash my own hands (and then want a tip afterwards)! It's free to get in, during the day. At night, the cover is $10 and doubles after midnight on Amateur Night. There is also the annoyance of having to pay for parking, as though they'll take responsibility for anything that may happen to my car, while under their watchful eye.<br>

I highly recommend this club to anyone coming through the ATL, with a limited amount of time. For someone in that category, the Blue Flame is a must see. I like that it is one of the few black owned clubs (with mostly black girls) in Atlanta, standing the test of time. Although they could expand, adding private rooms, nix the parking charge, and perhaps bring in some featured entertainers, they make up for those shortcomings in other ways (including offering free passes you can print off of their website). As I stated in my beginning, "I love this club!"
