RISKY RISQUE

Club Risqué has a vibe that feels both modern and classy. The whole place is pretty clean, and it doesn’t have that sticky, grimy feeling you sometimes get at strip clubs. The lighting is dim but well-done, with spotlights highlighting the stage without making the whole place feel too dark.

As for the dancers, the crew here is a good mix of women. There were probably 15 or so working the night I was there, with a range of looks and performances. You’ll see women of different ethnicities—Caucasian, Black, Latina, and even a couple Asian dancers. Each one brings something different to the table. Some have that laid-back sensual style, while others go full-on high-energy with acrobatics. The dancers aren’t all super chatty, but they’re friendly enough, and most of them seem to take pride in their routines.

For the cost, it’s about what you’d expect for a mid-range Philly club. The cover charge was $10, which isn’t too steep. Drinks are around $7 for a beer or a simple cocktail. If you’re looking for a more personal experience, lap dances start at $20 in the main area, and they go up from there. For a more private session, you’re looking at about $175, which gives you access to a VIP room. The room itself is comfortable enough, but don’t expect anything super fancy—it’s just enough to make the experience feel a little more special. All in all, the prices are reasonable, and you won’t feel like you’re being gouged.
