sinclair's Review

Here is a composite review of Deja Vu from six nights of clubbing. I had not been to this club since 2018 when it was still Tuxedos Show Club. Not too much has changed with regards to the physical layout. A large island stage with two pole positions and a hanging brass hoop between them dominates the interior. This has to be the least corporate Deja Vu I have ever been to. Every single night there was a $15 cover charge. This might seem high, but the club is BYOB, so you don't have to constantly get juiced for overpriced drinks from a waitress. Most people brought beer in cans, but I did see a few people bring in beer in bottles. I also saw a number of patrons come in with gas station fountain cups and water bottles that I presume were filled with hard alcohol. If you bring your receipt for admission back to the club within a week’s time, you get your cover charge waived on the subsequent visit. With this knowledge, I got into the club six times for a total of $45, or $7.50 per visit.

Couch dances are $15 per song in an open area at the back of the club. Songs are timed out to exactly three minutes in length. VIP dances take place in booths on the north wall of the club with sliding doors. There are cameras in the ceiling, so you will not get anything more than good two-way contact. VIP dances are $75 for fifteen minutes, $150 for thirty minutes, and $300 for sixty minutes. On Sundays and Thursdays, an extra 33% of time is added on for free. So $75 gets twenty minutes, $150 gets forty minutes, and $300 gets eighty minutes on those two days.

The club is fully nude, but stage contact is minimal at best. Some dancers will give tippers a boob shake to the face while other dancers give no stage contact. At least all of the dancers dropped their thong to show their whisker biscuits to the audience. Around fifty percent of the dancers are black, so Deja Vu is the de facto urban strip club out of the three clubs in the Quad Cities. Dancers of all races tend to favor hip hop here. After 01:00 on the weekends, the club becomes mostly African-American and younger folks.
