Scarlett’s is a blast!

Scarlette’s in Ybor is my go-to strip club for several reasons. It’s centrally located right off the interstate, and the parking lot is large, well-lit, and monitored by security at the entrance. I’ve visited this location several times on both the day and night shifts.

When you walk into Scarlette’s, you pay at the cashier, walk through the curtains, and find the stage directly in front of you. During the day shift, the cover is $10, while in the evening, it’s $15. I paid with my AMEX. To the right of the entrance, there’s a staircase leading to the VIP area. The music level was reasonable during the day shift, with the DJ playing a mix of genres. At night, it was mostly hip-hop. The club itself is a bit run-down, with décor and seating that feel like a throwback to the ’90s.

If you walk past the stage and head straight to the bar at the back, you’ll meet the bartender—who, at the time, might have been the best-looking woman in the club. She’ll likely ask if you want to buy her a “water,” so tip her $5 and get your singles. Keep in mind that this is an all-nude club, and no alcohol is served on the premises.
