I have been a Cheeks regular...

I have been a Cheeks regular for over 3 years; I visit a couple times a week and I love the girls! Instead of the normal review I'll try to give some insights on how the place and girls operate with the hope that I can help others to enjoy themselves. First, some directions. Although many say Cheeks is in the middle of nowhere it isn't that far from some major roads. If you are going south on the NJ Turnpike use exit #7 and take Rt206 south for 15-20 minutes, then turn left on Rt 38 by the large diner. Cheeks is 1-1/2 miles on the right. If you are heading north on the turnpike use exit 5, and turn right on Rt541. Take 541 to the Burger King and turn right on the Mount Holly bypass. Take the bypass to Rt 38 and turn left. In 5 minutes you'll cross Rt 206 and Cheeks is 1-1/2 miles further on the right. You can also use Rt295 which runs parallel to the turnpike and basically use the same directions. If you're on the PA turnpike just go to the end, cross into NJ and go north one exit to #7 and follow the directions above.

There has been so much publicity about this place that I expect that some people go expecting to find a wild and crazy place. However, this is usually pretty laid back. Many times I have sat at the bar on a slow night and wondered what some first time customers must think when they walk in to find Cheeks somewhat dead. All I can say is, don't be discouraged and be patient! Things will change if you give it some time. You may see a bunch of the girls (usually Brazilians) hanging at the bar, not seeming to be interested in working. This is not always so bad because it keeps the dollar parade down. The dollar parade can be bad on Fri and Sat night when they bring a load of Russians in from Brooklyn. Ah, but back to the Brazilian girls who are the ones that you want to meet. Yes, eventually they will get around to see you at the bar, but if you are particularly interested in one get her attention when she's on stage by throwing a dollar to her and letting her know that you want her to stop by. Or flag her down when she's walking by. Or just walk over and ask her for a dance or to stop by your seat. The key is that being proactive is very helpful. As I'm sure many others have written the couch dances take place in "tents" and the mileage from the Brazilians couldn't be any higher. When you go to do a dance an attendant assigns you to one of 8 tents. Each dance is 4 minutes long which is timed by the attendant. At the end of the 4 minutes the attendant announces over a PA system "Carol, that's one. Carol one." The dancer should ask if you want to continue, but she may assume that you want to just keep going. Make sure you know your dancer's name so that you can keep track of the number of dances that you are doing. Know that when the announcement is made you have exactly 60 seconds to get out of the tent and to the attendant's desk. If you go over 60 seconds you'll be charged for another $30 dance which can really suck if you're over by just 15 seconds. I have timed dances on my stop watch and must say that the attendant has alway been very accurate; not once have I felt that I was shortchanged. There was a period in Nov-Dec when management was monitoring the activities in the tents and things were not "normal". Believe me, they aren't watching now and everything has returned to "normal". There are more Brazilians working here than any other group. Here is a list of some of the Brazilians currently working at Cheeks:Angie,Anna,Brenda,Brunella,Carol,Elaine,Ellie,Irenee,Karina,Kelly,Lea,Luciana,Melissa,Michelle,Natalia,Paula,and Sabrina. They're all nice, they're all friendly, they all do amazing couch dances. They range from petite (Kelly) to larger(Brenda).

Management and security treat the customers well. If you want to go to your car for something it's no problem to come back in, provided that you have the wrist band on that was issued when you first entered. There is no alcohol provided by the club, it's

byob, beer and wine only. The bartender keeps it cold for you; don't forget to tip her. When Cheeks first opened I couldn't believe how great it was and my attitude was that we all should go as much as possible because this can't possibly last. Now 3-1/2 tears later they have been ordered by the courts to close by Sept 1. I hope that they remain open until then. But for now I highly recommend that you make the trip while you can, it's quite the experience.
