sinclair's Review

I visited Cabaret Le Carol at 20:40 on a Monday night. The strip club shares a parking lot with Motel de L'Aeroport. I paid a $3 cover charge to the lady working the door. The bouncer who seats you also needs to be tipped; I gave him a loonie. A bottle of beer was $9. The base price is $7.83, but there is $1.17 in tax automatically applied. There were no Sincweisers to be had, as Le Carol only sells Molson Coors products. I had to resort to Coors Light. Draft beers are cheaper than bottles. Drafts cost $5.75 for a 12-ounce glass, $7.50 for a 20-ounce glass, and $21 for a pitcher. Tap beers are currently Coors Light, Molson Canadian, Rickards, and Blue Moon.

There is a semicircle stage on the left wall with two stationary poles. There is a bar with nine stools on the right wall. There is premium seating and five video slot machines along the back wall. All seating in the main spectator area is bingo hall chairs and little round tables. There are worn couches along the front wall for table dances. Private dances take place in a room accessed by walking through a doorway between the bar and the DJ booth. Nude private dances are $20 per song and full contact. Mileage varies with the dancer.

There were six dancers working on Monday night with more coming in as I sat at the bar. The whole time I was there, only two dancers performed on stage. The stage show definitely takes the back burner in Quebec clubs because there isn't stage tipping like there is in the United States. The stage show is mostly dancers showing off their bodies to the crowd, hoping it yields private dances once they finish their set. As a result, I did not get dancers names and can only describe them.
