A cut above and worth the entrance hassle!
Decided to try going to Chez Paree again after a few decades! If you have never been, it is worth the trip just for experience of getting into the place. It might not be big enough to be a case study at HBS of how NOT to treat your customers who are coming of their own accord to spend money in your establishment, but it should at least be a homework assignment. In the end, the stupidity is worth it. There is an inherent attitude by the entrance door staff that you are trying to cheat them out of something. Skip ahead, if you just want to know about the girls, the inside of the club and dances. I am sorry if this part bores the reader. Got there on a Wednesday night about 10 PM. I am by myself and let’s say I am old enough and my physical stature would not threaten anyone! I say hello to the two gentlemen in suits that are outside by the front door. Barely acknowledge my presence, let alone return the hello. Gruff attitude and one opens the door to let me in. Actually, he is walking me up the short flight of stairs to make sure I pay the entrance fee. Like the gauntlet of people at the top of the stairs might not see me and accidentally let me in? Get to the top and motioned to a girl in a booth to pay the entrance fee. No words have been spoken until this point! I eventually ask and am told that the entrance fee is $10. Pay that and with my change receive a strong hint to tip the girl $5 in the tip jar. This is all in the space of a very small closet. I am now greeted by the indoor doorman, who will let me into the club, but I should tip him $5 as well. He lets me enter, and I can just choose any seat I want. The place is basically empty except for 3 or 4 tables. There was no body else going in at the time. The entire process took about 3-5 minutes. Barely a word was spoken by the door people. All of which hard more than their fair share of attitude. In case you are wondering, I am dressed in business casual and better dressed that most of the other patrons I saw there that night.
As you enter, you have the main stage right in front of you. To your immediate left you have stairs that go up to the VIP dance area. Just beyond that you have a decent length bar. To your right you have a combination DJ booth, area where a number of the girls hang out and talk, and the stairs down to the men’s room and the girl’s dressing room. There are a number of tables around the stage and another collection of tables beyond that, also around the stage, but one step up. Settle into a table at the far end on the slight upper level. Get my drink and try to figure out the place. The wait staff is friendly enough. There are no dancers up on stage up until 10:30. Interestingly enough, they are only playing Spanish music.
There are 20+ dancers working that night. And this is what sets CP aside from other places I have been to in Montreal. Probably only 2 of the dancers I saw all night would be below a 7. All are very attractive, in their own way. Small, tall, large, thin, you will find more than one dancer that will meet your criteria. A few dancers also had a physique I haven’t seen in a long time. Very slim figure. Big boobs and no behind. Like a flat ass!
Would have easily taken dances with 5-10 of the girls there. Eventually settled on a girl called Melissa. Haitian and French heritage. Soft caramel skin. Long dark hair. Shapely figure, well endowed and a nice personality. Explained the VIP process and off we went. Up the few steps to the VIP booth area. You pay the girl at the desk $5 to use a booth and tip her $5! The area has plenty of booths to choose from, even on the busiest of nights. Dance with Melissa was well worth it. Decent amount of grinding and hands are free to wander where ever, except the Y. The bottoms stay on, but the dancers will move them to the side at some point. Dances are $20 per song or $100 for 15 minutes. Stopped after $15 minutes and went back to my table.
By now there were a couple of more tables occupied and a few more girls in the club. Noticed a tall blonde whose attention I tried to get for a while with no luck and she eventually disappeared to the dressing room. After sitting through a few stage dances, which by now were continuous, with no down time, I noticed a tall brunette with amazing legs, firm body, well-endowed and stunningly good looks with her hair pulled back. As she wandered over, I realized that I had seen her at another club. Her name is Mary. Spent a bit of time chatting. She is a bit older than most dancers and has a brain that is just as sharp as her body. Went through the VIP process and chose a booth her. Spent a half hour with her. A lot of contact, Hands can wander freely except for the obvious. Very enjoyable time and would seek her out any time I am looking for a night out at a club.
After Mary, it was getting late and decided to leave. The club is easy enough to find and there are a number of parking areas. I managed to find street parking. But the entire area is torn up with road construction and it can be a bit difficult to walk to from the north side. The club is a bit pricier in terms of admission. Dances work out to be about the same as other places. You get the benefit of many more girls to choose from and many more attractive girls. That makes it worth the while of dealing with the door people. I should point out that with that, also comes some girls with attitude. I spoke to a few girls that came across with attitude. So turn on your skepticism and you should be alright.
