SHUT DOWN

I waited for a few days before I decided to add this review to see if they reopened within the week but no such movement. Lookers appears to have been shut down and seized for failure to pay taxes. Nice bright sign on the door when I went. The girls have scattered and gone to either Bing or Diamond Dolls to work now apparently. Having spoken to a couple (will not say who in case they do open back up) apparently there have been a lot of problems there. Police came in and barely let the girls go with their purses. Business 101 - always pay taxes first. Apparently there have been nights the bar didn't even have singles. I am not sure if they own the building or rent but usually this kind of thing gets worse before it gets better, evictions, utility company problems yada yada yada.

A crying shame, lookers has been a Syracuse Staple for a long time and the stage show was the best feature (low key, not main stream like paradise). If you are looking for someplace in the same area bada bing is the best option. They have recently renovated so its not as dank. It is booze there so only topless at best and the stage show basically does not exist. If you want low key nude - Diamond Dolls is a 10 minute drive out to the Mattydale area (much safer area out of the city) It is a more low key barish club with an awesome kitchen if you are hungry. The girls get on stage and do sets when customers come in but be prepared, the stage area is dark to the point it hurts my eyes straining. Most of the girls dance in dark colored lights or very dim lights, not nearly as good as lookers was for that.

I will report back if I find they open back up.
