Beware of the VIP Room Scam
I was a bit naive to stumble into this place on my first visit to Copenhagen, but after an initial survey of some of the seedy places on Istedgade which were actual sex clubs rather than strip clubs, I had gotten a sense that things in Copenhagen were really truly wild and the more traditional strip club vibe that I was used to in the states appealed to me. I admit I was naive and spent my money stupidly, but I left feeling that I had been totally swindled and I wish I never went in. I'm sure if I were to go back I could have a good time with a little more shrewdness, which is why I wanted to write this review. Live and learn..
I came in fairly early on a Saturday night, about 10pm and I was the only customer with about a half dozen very beautiful dancers (the place filled up shortly after). A girl approached me who was a flat out perfect 10, one of the most gorgeous girls I've ever seen working at a club in any city. Could've been a famous model. I am an American visiting Copenhagen and she explained to me how clubs are different in Denmark and that you can do whatever you want in VIP rooms, explicitly promising me various sex acts. I had just seen actual sex acts being ordered off a menu as if it was no big deal down the block, so at the time I felt I had no reason to doubt her. The ticket to the VIP is a 2000kr bottle of champagne which equates to about $320 USD—a lot by any standards, but I was blown away by the girl's looks and out of this world perfect body, and caught up in the moment, so I took her up on it.
ALL that happened in the VIP was an extremely light-contact dance with a little bit of suggestive touching but just a continual tease until suddenly I needed to buy another $320 bottle of champagne to get the things that were promised. Ended up sort of arguing with the girl as she continued to promise me that we were definitely going to do all the dirty things we had talked about explicitly, just I needed to buy another bottle first. I was being polite and but as soon as I expressed the first sign of disinterest or annoyance at this racket, she totally shut down got dressed and became very cold and confrontational. I can think of a lot better ways to spend $700 so I left feeling like a total chump. As other reviewers mentioned, she also was trying to convince me to stay and meet her out at a dance club later so we could go home together, but after dropping that kind of money for essentially a shitty lapdance that was totally weak by American standards, I had had enough.
