Scratch 'N' Dent Department

Don’t let the snarky title put you off. There’s a lot to like about this place. It’s just that, while they have a few dancers who could fit right in at one of the high-end Philadelphia clubs, there is something a little off about most of them. Maybe a bit older, or heavier, or a pretty face but not a great body, or vice versa, or some combination thereof. But if you find yourself occasionally wandering over to the “Last Act” section of the Men’s Department at Macy’s, you might want to wander over to Risque Bristol.

Putting the standouts aside, you are looking at a solid group of 5s to 7s, but I would add a point for attitude. Dancers are friendly, engaging, and ,,,accommodating. I wouldn’t describe it as an extras mill, but there is reliable action in VIP, and the dancers are pretty open about their menus during barside chats.

I should point out that, with the exception of one evening visit when I unexpectedly hooked up with a dancer I knew from another club, the rest of my visits have been in the afternoon, so I can’t really speak to the dancer vibe, or anything else, at night.
