Another Hurley Trip

Eve and I took a 152 mile trip North to Hurley again to check out the six clubs on the Lower Block. (See separate reviews for The Idle Hour, The Silver Dollar and The Full Moon Saloon.) Unfortunately only 4 were open. Hurley's peak season is the winter months with snowmobiling and ice fishing being the big draw to the area, and in the summer it's boating and fishing, along with motorcycling that brings people in but at the end of April there isn't as much going on...and as a result the night life suffers.

We arrived in Hurley about 7:45 Saturday night after a 3 hour drive and parked across the street from all the clubs on the Lower Block.

Stop number 3 for the night was Shooters Showgirls. Eve didn't make it to Shooters as she got involved with her video gambling so I went to check it out by myself. The only soda they had in cans was 7-UP at 2 bucks a can. Shooters only had 2 dancers, both white girls and in their mid-20's...a brunette and a blond both in the 7+ range. The blond was ramped up on something, and was very aggressive (and attentive) as soon as I walked in. There were maybe 10 or 12 other customers in there at the time. I spent a few minutes talking to the blond, and tipped her well when she got on stage, but a few minutes later two couples walked in and they were literally throwing money at her...she damn near needed a broom to get it all off the stage at the end of her set. After she got off stage...and even while on stage I guess....she really gave them a good time from what I could see, the definitely got their moneys worth.

One thing I did notice especially this time was that a large number of guys brought their wives or girlfriends along and the dancers were all quite attentive to them. I'd guess I saw between 15 and 20 couples in the 4 strip clubs and like Eve and I they were all making the rounds. There was two female couples I saw as well drifting between clubs. All in all Hurley is a very fun place. The dancers all enjoy their work and are very accommodating. The private dance areas are not very private, but I'd guess that take out would be available if desired. Of the dancers I talked to through the course of the night, two were from Michigan, one from Minnesota and the rest from various locations around Wisconsin. The transient nature of the dancers working Hurley adds to the fun and tends to bring in girls that enjoy the lifestyle. If Hurley is within driving distance, I'd definitely recommend a visit to check it out. The Silver Street Hotel (right across form the Lower Block) is now closed, but there are several other places within a mile or two for those not wanting to drive home. It's all pretty much remote 2-lane roads for a number of miles in any direction, and LOTS of deer and even bear that don't always know to stay off the roads.
