Strip Club Reports

[JumpSmoker90]

I agree with the others. Chicago strip clubs suck. The ones down on Mannheim are substantially scuzzier and police are everywhere but more mileage. Also watch out for red light cameras. I got a mail-in citation a couple months ago. So just one more unwanted reminder of your visit. If you have a car, I've read good things about mileage at club 390, but never been. Heavenly bodies near Elk Grove Village has decent girls but no mileage. The Massage parlors are fairly well documented and represent a good and cost-effective alternative.I always tell people you're better off visiting NWI if you want to go to strip clubs.

[Exoticcar]

I always tell people you're better off visiting NWI if you want to go to strip clubs.More freedom you can say, LOL. More open about things and more mileage for the money too.

[RossMcDade]

Thanks for your replies gents.

I ended up going to admiral, at least I was sure to see pretty girls.

I spent around 400 on table dances and one private 30 min session.

Was there for 5 hours, left at 5:30 AM. Throughtout the night there were about 20 different girls, all pretty.

I was asking what's on the menu for the VIP rooms, a couple of girls that approached me gave me the impression that anything goes, but it was 500 each for 1 h on the VIP room so I declined.

This other girl Maya told me she does anything she can get away with, definitely convinced me and I was saving her for last. Around 4 AM I started looking for her but she was always on private.

If you guys go there, make sure you talk to her and see what you can get. Unfortunately I couldn't go to the CR with her.

Ended up on a 30 min session with a Bulgarian girl, extremely hot. Tried to get take out but she wouldn't budge.

Overall good experience, lots of talent at the place but ubfortunately not a place I can afford to visit often.

[Moejoo]

I get 2 or 3 sets of digits every time I go to 390 without trying very hard. Some pan out and some are time wasters.

[FirstTimer7]

Wider variety of services and providers and I also found that the prices are better.What would you recommend? IS?

[Moejoo]

What would you recommend? IS?Years ago IS was great for extras, not anymore. For years the talent was just terrible unless you like chubby girls. The talent level has improved in the past 6 months or so. Dance prices are very cheap on the nights that they have specials.

Overall good experience, lots of talent at the place but ubfortunately not a place I can afford to visit often.I heard they raised the prices at the Admiral recently. Entrance is now $28 instead of $25 ($3 Chicago entertainer tax? Also "private" dances are supposedly now 3 for $100 instead of 3 for $200. How much was your half hour booth? It used to be $225. There was always a $500 VIP suite (they don't really have true CRs), but I never thought it was worth it for just a larger room. They also had $375 and $300 options for the hour. Don't know if they still have that.

What did you think of your "private" session with the Bulgarian girl? Lots of full contact (two-way) and mileage? Also was the privacy limited to a 70% closed curtain, with bouncers walking by every 5-10 minutes or so? Now that the booths are more expensive, I think the girls might be putting out a bit more than before to sell them. Otherwise, the risk of wasting $100 (minimum for VIP / private) on air dances is just too great to get private dances.

It is true that the prices went up, with the exception of the VIP suite that is still 500.

You are right about the dance on the "private" rooms, the curtain doesn't close all the way and the bouncer walks by a few times.

Regarding contact, I could touch her boobs and butt freely, even sucked on her boobs briefly. At one point she sat on my lap facing the mirror on the wall and spread her legs then began playing with herself, I offered to help but she removed my hand.

All things considered I would not recommend the private rooms, but if you have 500 to spare and you trust the girl when she tells you there will be FS in the VIP suite then I think you should go for it.

A few of them were very open about what they would do and none of them were upset about me asking for the menu. In fact, some even said it depends on the girl.

FS for 500 is available on many other places, but if you enjoy the thrill of the hunt, the feeling of breaking the rules and you want FS with no screening whatsoever, this could be a viable option. Just remember YMMV.

[Ron M]

Avoid the Admiral. The place is a total rip off. It's good to go there once to check it out to see what it's like. I went here once and haven't been back since.

[CarmineW]

Avoid the Admiral. The place is a total rip off. It's good to go there once to check it out to see what it's like. I went here once and haven't been back since.I dated a girl two years ago who worked there student at depaul. Haven't been there in over 5 years but I'm sure its a YMMV situation like others have stated. I wouldn't say its a waste of time only downside from what I remember is no booze. Chalk this one up as a loss for ronm and a gain for those who had success.

[FirstTimer7]

[StanleyStankas]

Avoid the Admiral. The place is a total rip off. It's good to go there once to check it out to see what it's like. I went here once and haven't been back since.To remember when that place was a theater! Lots of guys with newspapers on their laps! Can't remember if I was one of them! Anyway agree the place is really setup for the tourista from where ever. Almost all of their advertising is done in tour books and on top of cabs. When that exists one knows that it is indeed rip off city.

[Moejoo]

If paying 8 for a bottle of water breaks your budget or if the thought of it makes your mind explode than maybe you should never go to a strip club again. It is part of the price of entertainment there. You are in downtown Chicago, their fixed costs are probably 3 x the cost of south suburban clubs. Some of you are non stop crybabies.

Just remember YMMV.You're definitely right about YMMV. I still don't know how FS is really possible when even the $500 rooms aren't fully private. I know for sure that the formerly $375 suite had the same privacy / curtain situation as the other booths. It sounds like the all the other options were raised $25. That is 3 dances are $100,6 are probably $175 and half an hour (9 dances) is $250 instead of $75, $150 and $225 from before. The hour might be $325 from $300 (the best value with the right girl) and the suites are probably $400 and $500.

I still don't buy that "entertainer tax" shill. First they charge it on the cover ($3) and then from every set of dances ($25) you do? I was always bothered by all the nickel and diming they already did, but this just might just take the cake.

Just remember YMMV.As a general rule I would never believe a dancer when she says something like FS available in a club. Not in this day and age where it's easy to find reviews on places. Strip clubs are notorious for having big goons as bouncers and are also probably on Uncle Leos good side. So you pay the 500- what if she gives you an air dance- then what? You're SOL that's what. Just like the jacks shacks on Lake Street and North Avenue in the suburbs. Too much risk imo. If you want FS see a well reviewed provider- well if they are any reviews out there anymore with TER gone. Going to VIP rooms in strip clubs & paying outrageous rates expecting a home run is a recipe for disaster and a good way to get ripped off imo. Not saying FS can't happen, but if these chicks really want to do FS why aren't they at an agency? They'll tell you anything to separate your money from your wallet.

My advice for what it's worth- get some dances, enjoy the view, have a drink, and don't expect anything more.

If I'm going to spend that kind of $ I'd rather it be with a reviewed provider where I can get FS in a private setting. But I understand why some like to seek out some fun at the strip clubs. It's the thrill of doing something you know you shouldn't be doing. I'm just not that much of a risk taker. But hey, to each their own.

Some of you are non stop crybabies.As an old stale f**k I go west when the snow flies back here in town. So there's a nightclub on the south end of the strip in vegas called jewel. Just google it and you will see that the beautiful people pay a 40-50 buck cover and still wait in line and those little bottles of water are 20 bucks! This is just a dance club, however one would go in to see some really hot ladies on the dance floor! I mean really admiral, pink monkey have hustle written all over them. Not to say if a dancer is straight and she sees a great looking guy in her age group spending big cash, driving a hot car, et al. FS? It's possible, however for the average guy it just is not going to happen especially with my old funky a** driving up in my junky pickup truck!

[ALotNohsin]

Visiting from Detroit for a night. I would RTFF but if any of you veterans can help me out by PMing me clubs in Chicago downtown and surrounding areas where you can get extras from 7+ rating girls I would really appreciate it. I will also provide you info on Detroit clubs if any of you were to visit Detroit. Details on donations is also helpful.

[ALotNohsin]

Right after reading first few posts I realized how dry it is down here for strip clubs. If any of you can hook me up with any good massage parlor or escort info I would appreciate it. Good looking young girls are key for me. I will return the favor with info on famous all extras Detroit club scene.

[Bob521]

Its $1 for the water and $7 to rent a chair. True in any conventional bar as well. You are paying for the right to sit in the chair.

I went here once and haven't been back since.Last I went was in 03 and air dances were still a thing. Yoy even more your arm and the strippers say no touching. It's makes you uncomfortable.

My advice for what it's worth- get some dances, enjoy the view, have a drink, and don't expect anything more.It does happen. The closer you are to the Admiral Theater the less likely it will be though. As far as why some girls give extras and some guys pursue extras from strippers. The thrill of the chase may be part of it but it really is about safety and chemistry. As a guy if I could work the pole at 21 and have women toss money at me, I totally would also fuck the shit out of them for profit too. But. Would I be willing to fuck ugly, overweight women that are a bit creepy? My 21 year old self was poor and horny a lot so maybe. The thing is at a strip club you can choose who you give extras to. Some people you scam for as much money as you can and others you give up the goods and hope for a repeat customer. I'm in my early 40's and I remember going into a club at Night and it being loud, crowded, and crazy. You could literally smell the testosterone and pussy under the stale beer, cigarettes, and cheap perfume. I am told it is still like that in some places around the country. It isn't in Illinois anymore. Blame Tinder, cam sites, or Pornhub. Girls get into stripping thinking they will make over a hundred grand and are lucky to go home with 200 on a good night. It doesn't take long for them to figure out why some women are making a good living and they aren't. It is about the repeat customers. To get extras in a Chicago club you either walk in wearing an expensive suit with 20 100's in your wallet or you regularly show up and figure out which girl will put out. Will it be otc or in the club? Those big bouncers in some cases are there for their cut from the dancers and to keep an eye out for LEO, not to bust your ass. I do the massage parlor thing and I've fucked plenty of them but if I have to choose between old average looking old Asian woman or 23 year old hot pussy. Well the inflated prices aren't a deal breaker anymore. Don't get me wrong I've banged some hot Asian pussy in the parlors. They're all working apartments now. I'd rather get my fun at a club than my home or an Incall because you don't know what you are walking into. When I did do incalls it was with a well reviewed girl and it was always a hassle. Drive to such and such place. Call 2 or 3 times before she responds. Drive to another place. Call again. Pray she doesn't flake and refuse to respond. Get room number and go up and pray you aren't getting robbed and it is the girl you think you are meeting and she isn't 30 pounds heavier. Now you can avoid this by going with agencies but your contact info is sitting there waiting to be collected by the cops. In this day an age I'm not sure burner phones are even a safe choice anymore. Better to go to a nice club with a VIP room with no camera or if you don't care with cameras. Get a few dances and see if you click. Go to VIP for a half hour and see what is what. If the experience is good, then come back for an hour. Eventually, the other girls will recognize you and make offers. Think with the big head and not the little one. Repeat. With backpage and ereview gone clubs may be the safer better option. Of course, if anyone wants to make a road trip to Detroit, I'm down.

[Bob521]

I can agree with both Kellster's and Morrisman's point of view. Sometimes, when I'm on the road I have time to kill, strip clubs are fairly well-known commodities and the workers tend to stay with a club. I'd go a this or that club in Minneapolis or New York, Detroit, etc and always see familiar faces. I'd always sit at the bar (not the rail) with my back to the stage and have a beer. I'd check our the quality of the dances by each girl, getting an idea of who I was interested in. Girl's would always come up to me. Usually upselling the VIP room. I've never accepted a VIP room offer in 40 years, but it always seemed to be too big an investment for a really uncertain payoff. Normally I tell them I can tip them more if we stay in a quiet part of the main floor. I've had many offer take-out which would be my preference. My big problem with clubs in my home town is perfume and glitter. I can't go home covered in glister and smelling like. Well - a stripper. I'd be a dead man. So on the road I'd consider strip clubs. On the road my local knowledge of AMPs is much more limited. Except for those cities where I already know somebody.

Its $1 for the water and $7 to rent a chair. True in any conventional bar as well. You are paying for the right to sit in the chair.I learned this in Vegas years ago. The longer you stand around the more tired and sore your legs and back get. Eventually you cave to the seats and the waitress service or you leave. It's a very well thought out business plan.

[Kellster]

Honestly, if I knew I wasn't going to get ripped off or get an STD if I had to choose FS I'd rather do it with a stripper- probably for the same reason I get dances from them. Going into the club- kicking back with a beer and then looking over the talent- knowing I could have any one of those hot chicks grinding on me naked or topless is a great feeling. (I can't imagine what it's like to be a rich, star athlete like MJ, JJ Watt, Tom Brady, or Derek Jeter in their athletic prime having beautiful women throwing themselves at you constantly. What a life!) It's the anticipation of seeing them on stage, then walking around in a bikini, that does it for me as opposed to just walking into a hotel room and just going at it. So I totally get that part of it. The problem is that having to look over your shoulder and worry about getting kicked out from a bouncer would kill the mood for me or getting ripped off out of my money would suck too. And you can get ripped of from a provider as well so she would have to be well reviewed.

[Bob521]

Of course it depends on the club, and for that matter, how well you are known at the club. But tipping the bartender and / or bouncer can be a way to handle the issue you raise. Part of it can be learned from talking to the dancer. She can identify places in the club outside of camera range. That's probably to first step. Then, recognizing that the girls all tip-out the bartenders and bouncers, determine from the girl which bartenders and bouncers are willing to look the other way and how they should be compensated. Giving $20 or $100 to the bouncer in full view of everyone in the club is a sure way to get yourself kicked out. Once again the girl will guide you through the procedure. And if she says she doesn't know. Or refuses to help, it just means you picked the wrong girl or wrong club. This one small club in Connecticut, 20 years ago, the girl told me we could go into the stripper's dressing room for our activity. But I had to tip the bartender $20. Sure enough, $20 later we were in the dressing room. But, first the girl has to help guide you. Eventually, after you and the bartender are in on the secret, the bartender can point out girls that would be amenable to the arrangement. Bob.

I stopped by Arnie's Idle Hour in Harvey, around midnight 7/7 - 7/8 and it was dark as a tomb. Absolutely nobody there. No lights on, nothing. I didn't go close ennogh to look for signs on the doors though.

Hope I'm not just re-hashing old news here.

Hope I'm not just re-hashing old news here.I was by Arnie's last Saturday in the early evening and also noticed that the lot was completely empty. I haven't seen anything posted about it shutting down, but it sure seems like it is now closed for whatever reason.

[Head First]

Honestly, if I knew I wasn't going to get ripped off or get an STD if I had to choose FS I'd rather do it with a stripper- Me and my buddy were coming home from the dog races one Sat night and it was still pretty early. Wanna hit a strip club? Dumb question. We pulled into one of those on Rt 14 up near the border.

I can't remember if it was Vegas Club or the Show Palace. It was packed inside with at least 15-20 girls roaming around. I usually don't get dances from AA girls but there was one that was really hot and sexy so I let her take me over to the booth area. It didn't have any kind of door but it had some strings of beads that semi gave us a little privacy.

She was dancing and grinding and I was having fun. Next thing I know she's on her knees and reaching up into my shorts. I got hard and with my dick still hanging out she got up and straddled me. She was already naked and before I knew it I was fucking her, bb! Tip her and 10 minutes later I'm back sitting at the table telling my buddy I just fucked that hottie as she strolled by us.

Next day I'm pissing and I notice it's stinging a little bit. Weird but I didn't think it was anything to worry about. Next day it's still stinging and now burning so I knew something was up. I had to go see a doc and get on some anti biotics.

So yeah, Be careful when fucking strippers.

Funny you would mention it. Had a meeting cancel Friday so I killed some time at Bobby's on Manheim just north of North. It was early, like 12:00 noon. Got a beer. I'm like the only guy in the joint. Cute slender AA. Her name was something like Rar. Started massaging me. Really quite pleasant. Sadly I was in business attire and left the hats in car. And I had a conference call, at 12:30. So I had 6 massage dances then left. Anyway, my input here is bring hats to strip clubs. Make sure you have extra time. Go early when to place is empty. Let the girl come to you. (Unless you already know the one you want). Wear shorts and not a suit. And finally, consider getting a massage dance in private $10, instead of a typical $20 lap dance. Good luck to you Head First, been there also. Not fun. Bob.


Me and my buddy were coming home from the dog races one Sat night and it was still pretty early. Wanna hit a strip club? Dumb question. We pulled into one of those on Rt 14 up near the border.

I stopped by Arnie's Idle Hour in Harvey, around midnight 7/7 - 7/8 and it was dark as a tomb. Absolutely nobody there. No lights on, nothing. I didn't go close ennogh to look for signs on the doors though.

Hope I'm not just re-hashing old news here.I was at Jimmy's Friday night, one of the Arnie girls was dancing and she told me that Arnie's has been sold. Will reopen with new owners in about 2 weeks. I have afriend who is very close to a former employee and I'll check with him on the details.

So yeah, Be careful when fucking strippers.From your description, You were at the Show Palace. They have the small dance booths. Vegas Club has a back room for dances. The AA girls at both of these places can be had for takeout without really putting in a lot of effort. They are pretty straight forward about it.

So yeah, Be careful when fucking strippers.Even with protection you can catch an STD which is why I don't chance it with pros, but it's a hell of a lot safer than without one so if you're dead set on going through with it- protect yourself. Bareback is like playing Russian roulette- especially with a pro. Not worth it. Hope you feel better.

So yeah, Be careful when fucking strippers.If a girl offers BBFS the first time you meet her use a cover.

In your case the stripper probably knew she and an STD and didn't care if she passed it on to someone else.

[StanleyStankas]

In your case the stripper probably knew she and an STD and didn't care if she passed it on to someone else.I believe that as well. Bottom line is getting our cash. I am the sucker's sucker when it comes to believing it might be more, however the reality is they work for money and money alone. If others get diseases in the process they could care less! Always pack the covers for the little guy!

I have afriend who is very close to a former employee and I'll check with him on the details.Was told the same. New owners, but will take a while to open back up. Most of the dancers are rotatin between Jimmy's, Club O, and the box.

[JumpSmoker90]

Avoid the Admiral. The place is a total rip off. It's good to go there once to check it out to see what it's like. I went here once and haven't been back since.The first strip club I ever went to once I became of legal age was the Admiral. At the time I thought it was the best club ever. But what the hell did I know since I had nothing to compare it to. But as I've gotten older I've moved away from the big venues like The Admiral in favor for smaller venues particularly in NWI. There's just way to much going on in the big clubs and the prices are ridiculous because you're in the city. I much prefer the smaller venues like IS or Fantasy or some of the others in NWI and the southern suburbs because it's more intimate and you can come in and have a drink and just relax. Plus the prices are better. Your dollar will go farther in NWI than Chicago. And if you're looking for some side action that can be had as well. That's much more my style now as I'm getting older

[MongerHunger]

I don't know much about these places. I wanted to ask the seniors and members their opinions about Bikini Bars and Lingerie Bars.

Some that I am interested in are:

All Star Bar & Grill McCook.

Playpen Lounge Stone Park.

Carls Lounge Stone Park.

Bobbys Bar Melrose Park.

J's Bar & Grill Melrose Park.

Louie's Lounge Melrose Park.

Heavenly Bodies Elk Grove Village.

Thank you for your input.

Thank you for your input.When I was younger (back in the 90's) I went to the places on Mannheim Rd in Stone Park. Most of the clubs weren't really strip clubs. They were dive bars who had girls do these "fashion shows". For like a few hours during lunch and at night they would model lingerie or a bikini and you'd give them a buck, I think they would go around the room and give everyone a 15 second lap dance and you'd give them another dollar. Some of the women were okay looking some weren't. Scores is a typical strip club, but from what I read it's overpriced and very expensive. Not worth it. I wrote in an earlier post Mannheim Rd is not the best area- so I avoid it.

Heavenly Bodies is a little better. It used to be really good, but they raised their cover charge and their talent has gone downhill so I rarely go now. It sounds like I'm not the only one- the place has lost a lot of regulars like me since they doubled their cover charge. Some of the women who used to work there were incredible looking, but unfortunately a lot of them have left. It's a bikini club- the women walk around in bikinis and g-strings. You can get topless lap dances. Some gals give great lap dances others don't. You can't grab their ass or tits otherwise you'll get kicked out. You also can't wear athletic shorts or hats- they have dress code restrictions. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind if you go.

I've never been to the place in McCook, but I doubt it's any good. Chicago strip clubs pretty much suck.

This is going to be a weird post, and I have to maintain some confidentiality. By way of background, many of you know I have three "jobs". (1) My day job is in finance, raising capital, investing, etc, relatively large corporate deals. (2) the Massage Parlor with Mei, (3) I do pro-bono business consulting for folks that want to start their own businesses. I do it for the good Karma.

So I get a consulting request today and had a half hour phone conversation. My new client, a woman, wants to open a strip club in Chicago. It will be fully legal compliant. Alcohol. And the main goal is to attract better talent by giving the girls a better deal than they usually get. So my task now is to put together a capital plan, site strategy, operating plan, capital-raising, find talent, and find customers. I'll be interested in hearing your input and ideas. Strictly legal. Strictly business. My role here is a business advisor, not a monger. My thought is what better way to fix the lousy state of Strip Clubs in Chicago than to listen to the customers.

Thanks in advance.

Bob.

Bob.I don't know about others but I have no interest in the "high end" clubs with expensive drinks and Hot girls that you can only look but not touch. Just my opinion.

[Bob521]

I usually drink $3 beers. Never ever bought a Champagne drink for a dancer. I'm still trying to get a fix on the client's strategy. I believe she wants to emulate the successful Clubs in the South. I have not done my homework yet, but I think part of the problem is the legal restrictions in Chicago. If you serve alcohol, you are limited on the level of nudity. Maybe I'm wrong. But to me its an interesting question as to what it would take to have a great club in Chicago. But I've been to some good clubs in a dozen cities. Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Tampa, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Palm Beach.

Bob.I'm mostly a lurker here but have also visited many clubs. I agree ideally you want to combine alcohol and full nude, which may be tough in Chicago proper. Given that I would look for a municipality that is strip club friendly, which probably isn't Chicago. After that ideally you want a relatively safe parking lot in a reasonable neighborhood, reasonable admission fees, drink prices, and dance prices. Club 390 has been my go-to club lately and that would be my model. Also it has to cater both to guys who just want to drink and watch, and guys that want high contact. For advertising I hear a lot of clubs advertising on sports radio which probably targets the clientele you want. Good luck.

[Want Blow Jobs]

Maybe you can get around the alcohol restriction by making it a private club. That may also get around the very stringent zoning restrictions for adult entertainment in Chicago. And; please, don't forget to tip your alderman.

Bob.God I'm in the wrong field- I should be a consultant. I agree with the other poster the club needs full contact lap dances and hot women (thin and fit- not fat and overweight) who wear bikini's and g-strings at the most- none of this evening gown crap. If it doesn't offer full contact lap dances I don't care how hot they are I'm not going. And all dancers should know what a full contact lap dance is that a guy wants before they start working. No air dances. It's not rocket science they need to grind on a certain part of our laps. If the women aren't thin or fit (as in they workout regularly or are at least skinny- I'm not going. It also needs to be affordable. Heavenly Bodies lost sight of this and so did another club that used to be my favorite- State Street Station in Rockford. State Street Station raised dance prices- customers left, then hot dancers left and the death spiral continued until they eventually closed. It also needs to be in a safe neighborhood. I love hot women, but I'm not getting shot or carjacked to see some tail. Low cover charge, cheap dances, bouncers who aren't thugs, hot women, full contact lap dances, safe neighborhood, don't overcharge me on dances or short me on them, full songs, good lighting (I hate real dark clubs) value regular customers, no gang attire, and a low house fee to keep the hot dancers is the secret to success. At State Street Station you could also grab the dancers ass during the dances. Not sure if that's possible with the laws around here, but that was a plus too. The negative was the bikini tops stayed on. Heavenly Bodies offers topless lap dances which is better, but you can't grab the dancers ass which is worse.

Also as a customer I don't like being hassled to get dances, drinks, or shots. I can see how dancers asking guys can make the club more cash though, but speaking as a customer it gets annoying when you want to talk to other dancers and keep hearing the same bs sales pitch from women you don't like- however if you hire all hot, thin chicks then this wouldn't bug me so much. So baby What's your name? What brings you in tonight? What do you do for a living?- Ugh! At State Street the dancers went down to the VIP Room after they were done- you could tip them on stage and ask for them to stop by and get some dances too. Multiple stages is good so you can check out different women. A separate VIP Room is good too.

Advertising- sports radio station make sense, hotel brochures in the rooms, billboards, cabs, social media presence, have their own website, pictures of dancers helps, but at the end of the day word of mouth is the best advertising for any business imo. If you provide a good experience and value your customers and they'll come back. However if you treat them like crap, raise prices, insult them, then forget it. Just read the forum on our experiences, but it applies to most businesses.

Of all the clubs I went to Spearmint Rhino in Vegas had the biggest selection of hot women (it was heaven), but it was so damn expensive most guys can only afford it on vacation. Chicago doesn't need another overpriced priced club. Heavenly Bodies has a great location near the airport and in the suburbs- but their idiotic decision to raise the cover & house fees has alienated both hot dancers and customers so much that they're leaving and it's heading down a similar path as State Street did. State Street Station in it's heyday in the mid-late 90's was the best imo. Beautiful women. Cheap full contact lap dances, nice, clean place safe area, cool bouncers- the location was just a little far (1 hour away) and when they raised prices it killed them. Heavenly Bodies had some hotties, topless dances, and was affordable and nearby so that used to be awesome too, but they've gotten away from what got them there. Those were my two favorites because it didn't cost an arm and a leg to have fun. Now I rarely go because it seems like every place is such a rip off and I hate being nickel and dimed. Get the customer in the door & then treat them right- low cover charge, cheap dance prices, safe area hot, scantily clad women and great full contact laps. That's the key. Anyway that's my advice.

Bob.A near to chi suburb might work better as I know the restrictions in chi proper are stiff. Finding a collar burb that will attract the airport business guy with time to kill is essential. I mean some of the better clubs are as mentioned here in indiana or the far south burbs. Someone from out of town is not going to wander out so they wind up at pink monkey or the admiral and go back to their room blue balled. I have had some experience on the talent side as when I opened my entertainment business back in '96 in the northwest burbs I did book strippers and cocktail waitresses for parties. Golf outings, association meetings, bachelor parties, divorce parties. My issue was it became 90% of my bs and 10% of my business. By the time a quality girl is found one could and I did go through 20 nut jobs. Also what I found is one has to know the talent. I had booked some ladies on big events and then found out that certain girls would not work with others. It all comes down to a club that draws everyone and where everyone can feel comfortable and not be pressured. Again if one does not have the township behind them one should not even consider opening up a place. I do know that in my little village a mayor allowed it and then lost the election over it and the place never opened!

[Bob521]

Great post and great advice.
I agree, I can never understand how good places always seem to shoot themselves in the foot. My client says many of her friends (dancers) are mistreated by management and as a result they can never earn any real money. Her idea was to open a place where the girls can make a decent living.

Her idea was an industrial area near downtown. I know the area pretty well, given my affection for Chinese girls.

By the time a quality girl is found one could and I did go through 20 nut jobs. Also what I found is one has to know the talent. I had booked some ladies on big events and then found out that certain girls would not work with others. It all comes down to a club that draws everyone and where everyone can feel comfortable and not be pressured. Again if one does not have the township behind them one should not even consider opening up a place. I do know that in my little village a mayor allowed it and then lost the election over it and the place never opened!

[Kellster]

Her idea was an industrial area near downtown. I know the area pretty well, given my affection for Chinese girls.

Your welcome Bob. I agree with the other poster Chicago proper will be tough with all of the laws & lack of parking. Lake County wants nothing to do with strip clubs. Chinatown is too far for me to try it. Anything downtown isn't convenient to customers in the suburbs at all and vice versa. The owner really needs the backing of the town & county to have any chance. Another thing to consider- I read somewhere one of the owners of a strip club avoided a plan by thugs to kidnap him and sell them his business against his will.

like anything it can be done, however given our state and especially chi proper she or you or both need to have more connections than the electric company! back of the yards has plenty of empty lots and buildings, however what tourista or business man would venture down. i do because i know the terrain and am a local yokel, however getting me down there at night is not going to happen. i know a guy that came from a well to do family and suburb that i met when i lived in my little well to do suburb. he opened up a club on the near south side. he did it. problems? many, however he is still in business and thrives as he found his niche. not an adult business, however a rock club, record store and head shop of sorts. he lives there just to keep an eye on things. so it can be done with money, drive and again having the right people in ones corner to get it done. chi town is the city that works! it works for a reason! grease the right squeaky wheels with the right cash!

I know the area pretty well, given my affection for Chinese girls.If the area / lot were fenced and well lit I would go there, and she could probably find a suitable building. The trouble is still going to be the city of Chicago. No many how many alderman you pay off it seems to me you are still starting behind the eight ball.

[Moejoo]

This is one of the silliest conversations I have read in a while. Does anyone really think some random dancer is going to be able to open a strip club anywhere where there is the most modest mob influence without just being a figurehead? Couple that with the fact that no municipalities in the area want any part of a new strip club in their jurisdiction. The best chance for something to happen would be for her to open her own bar and do the old "fashion show" thing on the lam until she gets busted by the cops or blown up for not paying a street tax.

[Bob521]

So, of course you are all correct. Its a shame a person can't find a way to open a business like this. There are (at least) two questions (1) can such a business be started? (2) is this the person to do it? I mentor people with dreams but also try to steer them away from disaster. Mostly by asking questions. The forum is an interesting place to have the conversation since it has potential customers, potential investors, and subject-matter experts. It has always been curious how Chicago has such terrible clubs compared to so many other places.

I'm thinking of checking out polekatz tomorrow. They have dance specials, figure it's a good night to get a good sample of the girls. Anyone down to go?

They do well or they would not be in business. The state of the USA These days with all of the political correctness it would be difficult to open up a legit adult business and not expect huge problems from whoever. The high end escort I knew as a "friend" started off working for a big agency in chi that was taken down in a major bust. Money was stolen let's say used as evidence? The one thing she told me was it was not if one was going to be taken down by someone, it was when! Good luck though.

[Bob521]

I have not reviewed her business plan, but frankly, I find most of the places around here, I don't know, just sort of depressing, not fun. If it was me, I'd establish a small under the radar neighborhood bar. Good food. Cheap Beer. Female Bartenders, Female Waitresses. I'd want to make sure the place was profitable on its own. Dress code up to the girl. But not a strip joint. Not an Adult business establishment. Maybe a social club type of atmosphere. The idea would be to let folks socialize. A place people would go to for lunch every day. Regular Dancing permitted. If customers want to go out with the servers that's none of my business. Perhaps theme nights and talent shows. Maybe private parties. The point is I would make my money on food and drink and a packed house, not by forcing the girls to hustle and then taking a piece of the action. Honestly, it would be the kind of place I would go to hang out with forum members. Secure parking. Inside the club, strict adherence to the rules. My biggest concern would be visits from troublemakers.

Actually, as I think about it, it would be convenient to be located near some AMPs and motels. Yeah, I know its pretty lame.

Bob.This pretty much describes the 'members only' bar that used to e in the back of the yards neighborhood. You had to be let in by a guy who looked through a slot in the door. The only had dancers on certain days. They worked independent of the bar and set their own rules on dances. No private area, just some chairs by the back of the bar. I don't think they ever had food.

[Mikka22]

Little update on Arnie's. Was over at Jimmys last Sunday and about 6 girls from Arnie's were working there. I was told that there is going to be no changes made except for the name. They're waiting on signs to be made so they can reopen. The dancer also said they just closed one day without telling them and they all showed up to work to find the doors chained up. Kind of messed up but I found it kind of funny.

Low mileage dances are 40 per song, no negotiating, no exceptions.

The place down the street was called Back Of The yards, which was confusing since the neighborhood is the same name. It's no longer there. That was a crazy fun place in it's day.

On another note been spending the last four days going from the big airport area to out rt 20 in elgin. Those jackshacks on 20 are still doing business as every night on the way back I saw cars. Not full lots, but they are still alive and well and ripping people off.

[DaveDream]

Planning on stopping by this Saturday around 10 pm until close. Any info on girls that are fun in the back / allow full contact / are a sure thing? You can PM me. Thanks. Dave from Milwaukee.

[FoxHunter158]

Had a dream about Antonia tonight. Songs were 30, and the dream started at just a little more than 3 songs. Her english wasn't too good, but regardless the conversation was still great. Some day I'm going to visit Columbia!

[MongerHunger]

Checked out Heavenly Bodies Saturday around noon and it was free to get in before 1 pm with a text message. $5 after that. Sat not far from the stage. They had free food and the menu was ok. I was told that you can eat as much and order as much as you want. Not bad. I took advantage of the food and got a sandwich and salad with a $1. 50 beer.

As far a the talent goes it was not up to par because as soon as the girl got off stage the guys were taking her upstairs back to back and no one else was on stage while she was gone. I only seen like 2 girls working the entire time I was there and they stayed upstairs most of the time. The manager came around and apologized to everyone because it was slow with the girls and offered everyone a free drink. I took advantage of that too. I really didn't see much but getting in free, good priced drinks, comp drink and free food made up for it. I will probably return and give it another shot.

They used to have free entry a few years back which is long gone. The only free food I'm aware of are the pretzels and lousy frozen pizza they stick out there. I actually wish they didn't even serve the food- it smells terrible. Seriously I try to sit away from it- it makes me want to vomit. What I do care about is the damn cover. I hate getting nickel and dimed. I have better things to do with my cash than to throw away $20 every time just to enter a freakin' bar. Not worth it.

Was driving through Harvey last night to go see a buddy and as I'm pulling up to the intersection I see cars in the parking lot for Arnie's. Under the sign Arnie's sign it says, "Boogie Nights, Yes we're open, now hiring dancers". So, as you've guessed Boogie Nights is the new name, not my favorite but whatever. It's only been the 4th day they've been back open. Everything looks the same, but it feels emptier with the lack of signs, decor, and slot machines. Didn't want to judge too harshly considering they just opened. The major difference is that they're open later now. On a Monday night, they closed at 4 so I'm guessing weekends will be 5.

[Mikka22]

Was the cover and parking fees the same?None of the old staff was kept. I guess they just wanted to clean house. There were a couple dancers that I haven't seen before who said they mostly hop around from Factory and Red Diamond, etc. But most of the girls I knew. They're looking for new dancers so I'm sure they'll be new faces. Ima give it a couple weeks until I go back. Cover is 10 instead of 15, but that was on a Monday, don't know if it will be more on the weekend.

[Moejoo]

Does anyone have any info on Cherry at 390? Bleach blonde, thick, said she used to work at Club O heavy EE accent.

[Dude300]

Anyone want to join me around 1 or 2 for a trip to 390?Too early for me. Have fun and let us know what the daytime talent is like.

[NiceChicaGaGuy]

Does anyone have any info on Cherry at 390? Bleach blonde, thick, said she used to work at Club O heavy EE accent.She really is a sweetheart, except for the obnoxious belly tattoo. Very nice to talk to, very straightforward, gives a really sexy dance. When she was at Club O, under the name, I believe, Natasha, you could count on leaving private dances with a smile on your face (although there are limits on what she will do.) I recommend her highly.

Pokie, the bartender was nice as well as some of the other old staff. I'll need to stop by next time I am in that area to see the changes. Hopefully, they will get some decent dancers with good dances. Arnie's after the raid was not very good and on my infrequent visits didn't have much business anymore.

[NervousPervis]

Stopped last Sunday and was pleasantly surprised. Drink specials for Sunday nights are $ 12.00 domestic buckets (5) and there was plenty of dancers. They came in all shapes and sizes and most were young. Only a few approached me but I am starting to wonder if it is OMS, old man syndrome, any way could not stay long but more dancers kept coming in. I asked one about escorting and she acted like she did not hear me oh well. I had fun and will be back. NP.

It has been years since I have been to a strip club. Is there a dress code or is a t-shirt and shorts ok?

[Bob521]

Ron and I were going to have a beer at Heavenly Bodies. I was in khakis and a golf shirt. Inside waiting. I think he was in shorts. Anyway, they wouldn't let him in. He's been pissed ever since!

But I really can't say what the dress code is at each place. In the case of HB, they make a pretense of being a "Classy Joint". So I guess any similar "pretend classy" places would discourage sweatpants, shorts, barefoot, I really don't know. Should probably call ahead.

No casual attire allowed at most Strip Clubs. Heavenly Bodies expects guys to be dressed in a Tuxedo in the middle of summer. Going to Strip Clubs is history for me.

[Yardy00]

[Ripkord]

It's been quite a while, but HB used to have signs at the entrance that All Shirts Must Have Collars. And back then you had to check any coat or jacket.

Only wore them because it was really hot out. Not a big deal since I live close. I think you need a collared shirt and either jeans, dockers, or shorts would have to be polo / dockers types. Probably no hats. If you're not sure just call wherever you're thinking of going ahead of time.

[Moejoo]

I have been going to strip clubs for decades, I like going to them. I am baffled why so many guys who don't like strip clubs go to them and then complain about them. Here is some insider information for those who are dismayed that they have some dress code. Girls don't like guys wearing sweat pants and gym shorts and complained to management. Management determined that guys who wish to wear sweats and gym shorts to strip clubs tend to be perverts, slobs, or gang bangers. The clubs seem to be doing fine with that rule and those of us who like strip clubs find it easy to comply.

[Moejoo]

I was on a bit of a strip club tear the last couple of weeks. I hit 390 a couple of times, Ind Strip, and Atlantis. I have been to Atlantis a couple of times over the past few years and have always come away disappointed. As on previous trips there were only a few girls in the late afternoon / early evening, most of them not very attractive, dances were expensive compared to the other clubs, and when I did get dances they were uninspired. The girls there sit together and don't approach anyone, and the waitress seem disinterested is serving drinks. The club is beautiful inside and the private dance area is decent enough. Does the place get going later in the evening with energy and menu options like 390? I just don't get the charm or appeal of the place, what am I doing wrong?

I just don't get the charm or appeal of the place, what am I doing wrong?I find that Atlantis is more of a late night and even then weekend late night club although late night on any day is probably better than the afternoon or early evening. That's usually when the best (most attractive) dancers work. Even then, on weekends, the girls (or a lot of them) don't really hustle very hard and approach a lot of guys. The floor hosts however, tend to be more helpful than at most other clubs and will often give an honest effort in trying to find you a girl you want, especially if you already know her name. They might expect a little tip though. Of course the club gets even more expensive during the late night on weekends (higher cover and valet). As for menu options, hit and miss really, but they don't have anything close to a day shift like 390 (which opens at 11 with as many as a dozen girls on the floor within an hour and maybe a similar number of customers) with an often quite raunchy rotation. Atlantis opens at 3 and a girl (as in just one) might not be ready until about 4 or so with just a couple more trickling in every hour or so and also a similar number of customers.

[Bamboo99]

Hello!

Are there any clubs in the area that have authentic amateur nights? I know Admiral Theater advertises Thursday night, which I'm thinking of checking out. On the other hand, I've heard that most girls who attend are really just strippers from other clubs. Would appreciate some info if anyone has any! Thanks!

[StoneRain]

I am going to be in the O'Hare area on Friday. Wondering if there are any clubs nearby that are worth checking out.

Thank you.

[Bob521]

Had a meeting hear HB so I stopped there for lunch. 12:00 noon. Got in for free by sending them a text. Had free ass-flavored burgers and fries. A $1. 50 beer. Tipped $1. 50 and left.

Didn't look at any girls. Just a $3 burger and beer with tip combo. Even McDonald's would have cost more. Actually the food was fine. Didn't taste any ass. Must've gotten them on a good day.

But I wouldn't call it a strip club.

Bob.

[Moejoo]

It would be interesting to hear what someone who actually likes to go to strip clubs in the area thinks about HB. I was there about 10 years ago for a short time and don't really remember it. I don't get up in that area very often or I would check it out if for no other reason to discuss the strip club experience there rather than the dress code, the parking lot, or the food they serve.

[Bob521]

That's a fair request. I used to like strip clubs and would go to places in Detroit, Florida, TX, MN and locally, along Manheim and Lake. I loved the old OSB and the old Bobbies. J's and Bobbies can still be ok if you go at the right time. Bobbie's girl would charge $10 for a massage / Song instead of $20 for a dance. Just have to explain which muscles are stiff, LOL.

HB had one girl on stage, typical costume, typical dance. I didn't see anybody getting dances downstairs. VIP room upstairs. Noticed girls taking guys up there. SO I really can't endorse the place. But just like any environment. Strip club, AMP, even a foot massage place, for every 10 girls, maybe one or two something might happen. But for all these places, your chances go up if you get have a meeting OUTSIDE the AMP, SC, etc. HB is no different. If you can establish a personal relationship you might make some progress. But in the case of HB, it seems the place is too heavily monitored to get any meaningful action INSIDE the club. I did want members to know it is possible to get in for free before 1 PM (I think). I just had Khakis and a golf shirt. The food was fee (and acceptable). And the beer was dirt cheap. I'm pretty sure, if I was so inclined, I could strike up a conversation with a dancer and negotiate some sort of take-out deal. It would take time, patience, and selectivity. By contrast, most other places would deliver results on the first visit.

[SAnderson75]

Was reading some of the back pages of this forum and decided to add my 2 cents to help fellow patrons. Since my business for the past years has been outside the club, with recent laws, I've been going back to clubs a lot more often.

HB. HB is a good club, not my favorite but if you are in the neighborhood, go for it. I've been reading about dress code, I always go at night and dress well so I don't know. There is always a cover charge which sucks, but you deal. You can get in for free at lunch time but the talent is lacking. Food is good. Ask for a bacon cheeseburger. It's free, you'll love it. Fries are decent, the rest of the food, pass. Now, girls, they can change night to night. A lot of them hang with regulars or in the back. A personal favorite of mine who has worked there for years is named Paulina, works weekends, maybe a weeknight, call ahead and ask for her. Tight little body, medium chest, ass is heaven. She is the real and best talent there, the rest is slim pickings. One tip, the shot girls CAN do dances, and they are eager to! They hate doing shots and love to dance, I've taken a few back in my time. Honestly, the upstairs is an ok deal, but I do a 2 for 25 downstairs and see if the girl is really going to get into it, if she's boring, I didn't waste 50-60 and can grab another. No nudity out front, very PG-13, in back, you can get close but cameras are everywhere and so are the bouncers. I always ask the girl if she's cool with me bending the rules, if you are polite they usually are cool with it. Also if you are a big tipper. Overall 3/5.

Polekatz. I've got to give PK some great love. I go there all the time because I'm in that area a lot. They have a free coupon on their website so I always get in for free. Plus they give out business cards for free visits in the club. I haven't paid a cover charge in years. They have street parking RIGHT next to valet, also free. The later you go in the night, the more girls there are. Now, PK has some great girls. The hottest ones hang upstairs in the VIP section, no doubt about it, but they'll make a pass downstairs. I ALWAYS go right at the top of the hour. Every hour, at the top of the hour, they do role call. Usually a 2 for 1, and it's great deal. You see all the girls in the club, and you pick your favorite flavor. I have too many to name I've seen. Plus, in the 2 for 1, you basically see everyone else naked in the back room, no privacy at all, so if you see someone hotter or who's more into it while your girl is on you, you can get looks in for later. Dances are 20 for topless and 30 for full nude. Save the extra 10 and just do topless, honestly. Your money will go farther. Girls are generally into it, no rule bending unless you goto VIP or champagne but who knows. I usually find my flavor, get a few dances and leave. Drinks are priced high. If you are going for a bachelor party, this is the place. Tons of sections for parties, the music is nice, atmosphere is nice. 4/5.

Scores. I goto scores every once in awhile. I haven't been in a year or so but I like it. Love the design on the pole and the lights. Usually cute girls. I have a favorite, Cameron, but I don't know if she is still there. Dances are $20 I think? It's been awhile. When I'm in the area I go, parking is free, you can usually find a text code for a discount so it's not bad. Club is smaller, but that's fine. I feel like they do role calls, I can't remember. In the times I've been in the past I've always asked for Cameron and seen no one else. I've noticed other talent there but never explored. 3/5.

Industrial Strip. Now, I've been to this place recently, I'm pretty sure the rules are the same, anything goes, touch anything, but the talent has really changed. In years past they didn't have alcohol so it was almost a brothel, you can touch and do whatever for a $20 dance. I went recently at midnight and they had 5-6 girls maybe, and maybe one was passable. Didn't partake but hey, they could be your flavor. I have really high stripper standards, basically looking for VS models, but it is NWI so, I guess I have to lower the bar. But they do allow drinking so maybe they cut down on the whole brothel, anything goes now. Worth the trip if you are in the area, if you don't want rules. $10 cover, free parking. 3/5.

Club 390, Atlantis, Deja Vu, etc -- I've only been to these clubs once or twice, had a decent experience but as you can see, I have other favorites, stick to those and you won't be disappointed.

...A personal favorite of mine who has worked there for years is named Paulina, works weekends, maybe a weeknight, call ahead and ask for her. Tight little body, medium chest, ass is heaven. She is the real and best talent there...When was the last time you went to HB and saw Paulina? She was my all time favorite there. Haven't seen her there for over a year.

[Kellster]

That's a fair request. I used to like strip clubs and would go to places in Detroit, Florida, TX, MN and locally, along Manheim and Lake. I loved the old OSB and the old Bobbies. J's and Bobbies can still be ok if you go at the right time. Bobbie's girl would charge $10 for a massage / Song instead of $20 for a dance. Just have to explain which muscles are stiff, LOL.

HB had one girl on stage, typical costume, typical dance. I didn't see anybody getting dances downstairs. VIP room upstairs. Noticed girls taking guys up there. SO I really can't endorse the place. But just like any environment. Strip club, AMP, even a foot massage place, for every 10 girls, maybe one or two something might happen. But for all these places, your chances go up if you get have a meeting OUTSIDE the AMP, SC, etc. HB is no different. If you can establish a personal relationship you might make some progress. But in the case of HB, it seems the place is too heavily monitored to get any meaningful action INSIDE the club. I did want members to know it is possible to get in for free before 1 PM (I think). I just had Khakis and a golf shirt. The food was fee (and acceptable). And the beer was dirt cheap. I'm pretty sure, if I was so inclined, I could strike up a conversation with a dancer and negotiate some sort of take-out deal. It would take time, patience, and selectivity. By contrast, most other places would deliver results on the first visit.

Bob.I said the pizza smelled like ass which it does. I never had the hamburgers. I have no desire to eat anything there. The cover is $15 after 3:00 which is when most people go there -at night. I don't know why they have it where you need to text to get a few bucks off, but I'm not sharing my phone number with anyone. Screw them! I get enough damn robocalls. That's such a lame policy. The cover is ridiculous. Either you're a high end club catering to wealthy clientele or a cheaper club catering to the Average Joe- you can't be both. They don't know what they want to be which is why they've lost customers. They're being greedy, trying to nickel and dime both customers and dancers alike with cover charges, house fees- which has only pissed people off.

[Bob521]

I think you hit the nail on the head.

They don't know what they want to be. They think they are a high end (expensive) club in an industrial neighborhood.

At lunch the cover is $5 if you don't want to trade your privacy for $5. I figured $5 for free food and $1. 50 beer is perfectly acceptable way to spend a lunch hour if you are in the neighborhood. But it really is not a destination club.

According to my client that wanted to open a strip club, she said the owners rip off the girls as well as ripping off the customers. I don't know.

Never tried the ass-pizza, but I guess its microwaved or frozen. Based on your food review, I think I'll stick with the cheeseburgers.

I have been going to strip clubs for decades, I like going to them. I am baffled why so many guys who don't like strip clubs go to them and then complain about them. Here is some insider information for those who are dismayed that they have some dress code. Girls don't like guys wearing sweat pants and gym shorts and complained to management. Management determined that guys who wish to wear sweats and gym shorts to strip clubs tend to be perverts, slobs, or gang bangers. The clubs seem to be doing fine with that rule and those of us who like strip clubs find it easy to comply.When it is hot I have these Calvin Klein shorts that look like they are khaki but are this really soft, thin material. In the winter I have these super soft dress pants I wear. Both of these are great for whipping your dick out or getting a covered grind. I'm a pervert. That is why I go to strip clubs.

[FerChicago]

Absolutely! Every time I go to a strip club I either wear baggy dress pants or shorts made of a soft / thin material (that look expensive) and no underwear. I do want the strippers to feel my boner and grind hard. Never had a complain from the club or the strippers. If you don't look getto and smell good, chances are they will play along and you'll have a good time. Definitely a perv here too.

[Member #5765]

Looking for info on oceans in Bedford. Any extras? Takeout?

[SAnderson75]

When was the last time you went to HB and saw Paulina? She was my all time favorite there. Haven't seen her there for over a year.I saw her a few weeks ago, she's there weekends, possible weekdays, call ahead.

[Teddy O]

Last few time I went it seems like there is less girls then before.

[Teddy O]

Cheap place to get a nice grind, but probably not possible to get extras.

[Moejoo]

I drove buy there on Friday night and they are open, though not many cars there. Does anyone have a report on what it is like?

[Mikka22]

I drove buy there on Friday night and they are open, though not many cars there. Does anyone have a report on what it is like?Haven't been, but I've talked to some dancers that work there at other clubs and it seems to be more of a throwing money type club, and less one on one action. Like I said, haven't been, just heard, could be wrong, but that's what it seems like to me.

[Dante417]

Visiting chicago next month. Last time I was there I didn'T do any research in advance. Went to the club closest to my hotel, spent too much money and left unsatisfied.

This time I want to see how many I can do over my three day visit.

Based on reading previous posts. My plan so far is to hit up polekatz, industrial strip and 390.

My preference is the rougher clubs, still wanting a skinny girl, fake tits prefered, but not required. I like it when the girl is outgoing and I like these kind of clubs because the girls are freakier! Always on the look out for diamond in the rough.

Industrial strip sounds ideal. But I wonder if the no rules mantra went away when they started serving alcohol?

I'LOL be there roaming Thursday afternoon and all night Friday and Saturday.

Is 390 the best for afternoon? I generally do not go during afternoon, are there any decent ones during day shift?

I have not been to Fantasy in a long time but it is on the way if you are going between Industrial and 390 and might be worth checking out. Based on past experiences there but the girls are rougher than at the other clubs mentioned.

[Bishop69]

I drove buy there on Friday night and they are open, though not many cars there. Does anyone have a report on what it is like?It's a hood club with hood rich patrons they're not there to have fun they're there to show out and spend ever dime they have buying bottles and overtipping girls on stage so theres not motivation for the girls to do anything else AVOID /.

[IllMatic80]

The new owners ruined this landmark. Fuck this club! Go to Jimmy's or 390 instead.

[AlexTk]

Ingaa is back. Only way to contact her is thru Instagram or Snapchat. She left scores and is at golds now. Her rate went up too, but totally worth it. She asks for 600, but will settle for 400. Got new butt implants. Whatever you do, don't meet her at the club. She'll get you for dances.

[Monopoly2323]

[IllMatic80]

I drove past there a couple of hours ago the Arnies sign is still up.Underneath the Arnie's logo you will see the new name "Boogie Nights" and that they are looking for dancers. They ruined the club now. Forget about extras. All the owners want to do is juice the customers for money now. Drinks are high (and they give you fucking plastic cups), you only get 1 verse of a song for a private dance now instead of a whole track. And the chicks working there are average, and they don't like the club themselves a few of them told me.

[Bm392]

I drove past there a couple of hours ago the Arnies sign is still up.The strip club and the fast food place across the street were sold and the owners moved to Vegas. The new owners just haven't changed the signs yet. The old Arnies is dead.

Based on past experiences there but the girls are rougher than at the other clubs mentioned.If you check in with Yelp you can get in free before 2 am (or at least that was the case the last time I went). Create a dummy Yelp account to be on the safe side. They really don't hassle you to buy drinks like other clubs. I used to live very close to there and would stop by almost every week just to have a drink and flirt with the old hostess who would let me play with her fake tits occasionally. Funny story, I saw her at a popular amusement place for my kids birthday party and we both made eye contact while sitting next to our kids and significant others. We had a laugh the next time I saw her at 390.

You could go in, pick any dancer, and get anything you want. Condoms all over the bathroom. Dancers just would walk up to you and grab your dick. I remember sucking on tites while sitting at the bar one night. Dancer was just pouring Hennessy on her tites and I would suck it off. Best drink I ever had.

I never felt really safe there, it was a scary crowd at times, and paying there guy to watch my car was. Differant then most clubs.

I've been thinking about going back when I'm in town, but I guess not now.

I discovered Arnies about 15 to 20 years ago. I rember sitting at the bar once when a tall, slender, smokin hot AA chick came up to me. She gave me the Arnies hand shake. She pulled her panties aside & let my hands roam. She stood on the foot rail bent over the bar while I was full fiv for about 10 minutes or so. Other dancers & customers would walk by & not give us a second look. Like so many other places, they've made that type of fun a thing of the past. Now it's a low mileage, high priced club. It will be interesting to see if it works in that neighborhood.

I don't think it will ever go back to the old Arnie's, but maybe it's because I go there semi-regularly, but I have luck with a couple of the girls. Stick shifting and FIV out on the floor. Of course it's not out in the open like it used to be, but I can still get an HJ pretty much every time I go and have gotten BJ a couple times since new management has taken over. I still think it's pretty good mileage, but maybe it's being a regular. When I live a few minutes away from here it's kinda tough to get me to drive anywhere else. Just my experience.

[FirstInFirst88]

I went to 390 at around 7 PM on Halloween night and there were a few people and dancers there. I thought the dances were discounted on Wednesday but they were only for air dances. The waitresses were smoking hot with one wearing a Native American outfit with her ass sticking out and the other blonde with fake tits. I was approached by Hailey who had a nice ass but barely any tits in the front and we chatted a bit but I said that I will get a dance later (which I never did). She said that the club gets busy around 10 PM but I was planning to get home early to get some sleep. There was a smoking hot dancer who was at a reserved table with couple of guys so I waited for her to come around. Another dancer Venus proceeded to sit by me and told me she will get naked for me and briefly touched my pants and showed me her boobs which looked nice but she looked like in her 40's so I passed. There were a few dancers taking turns on the main stage but it was not much going on.

Half an hour later, that smoking dancer named Liz sat by me and we chatted for a bit. She had gorgeous eyes and was around 5'7". We made a lot of eye contact and it felt really good. She said that it was her birthday so she asked if I wanted a couple of dances. She brought me to the back and I asked her about the rules. She said that I can grab her ass and tits so it was on. While she was grinding me in the front, I asked if I could suck her tits and she said yes. They tasted delicious. In the background, Rammstein. Du Hast was playing which is a great song and it was playing for quite some time. I got kinda nervous because it felt like I was on the 4th song but she said it was still the 2nd so that was great. After the dance was over, I gave her 50 and wished her happy birthday. She turned 21 which I said that she looked like 20 (close enough) and I left the club right after.

Honestly, it was the best lap dance I got so far and she was very nice. I want to come back again.

[Lee2718]

I was thinking to visit 390 for the first time in a couple weeks, now that I have a bit of time and money to burn. I'm looking for some true two-way full-contact lap dances with some good looking girls. As far as extras, I know they're hard to come by in this town, but it sounded like at least some hand-action might be found with the right girl at this club.

Any recommendations about what day / time to go for the best prospects? I imagine I should stay away from the weekends and late-night if I'm looking to find the best luck in terms of good dances with fun girls.

Would appreciate any experience, and I'll certainly report back. Been really disenchanted by the escort scene in Chicago lately.

It really depends on your game. I usually go around the holidays on a Wednesday or Thursday. It's not too crowded and girls are usually more open to convo. I have went twice in the past year and have gotten lucky. There are some unwritten rules of the strip clubs in order to get OTC or extras.

1. Your odds will significantly increase if you go during the week. Tuesday-Thursday or Sunday. Friday and Saturday is just too crowded and girls have ca $h on their brain. You will have more time to get more "intimate" with the girl.

2. This strip club is optional bottomless. This means the girl has the option to be fully nude on stage or keep on her thong. I ONLY talk to girls who give full nude dances on stage. They tend to be more liberal.

3. Tip the Waitress! I was very nice to the waitress and made friends with her first when I got my drinks. Working Girls pay attention to this! The waitress at 390 (Michelle I think) even sat next to me and made the acquaintance of the OTC girl I had.

4. If a girl sits next to you and asks for a private dance within the first 5 minutes of talking to you. Happily decline as this girl just wants to make easy money. (What your trying to do is gain their trust) And this type of girl that asks for dances within the first 5 minutes wants nothing to do with you but give you a mediocre dance and take you cash! Don't fall for it! Make a girl work for it after all it's your money and you earned it!

5. Lastly and most important! When you get a girl to finally sit down and have a conversation. Don't degrade them and don't be a jerk when speaking to them. Be confident and ask them questions and let them talk about themselves! This IS important because people LOVE to talk about themselves and their life. Just listen to them and "act" interested. After all we just looking to bang at the end of the night.

If you do all the things above. You will end up getting a regular at low cost and building a relationship that is priceless! Hope that this helps!

[AmonRa]

Just a quick note. All-Stars in McCook is now topless. Went there last Saturday and was surprised with the good news. I know the girls there are not 10's, but they look a lot better with tits bouncing around. Girls are charging $50 for 3 songs. A little steep.

How is the experience in the VIP suite at Admiral? Is it worth it? Is it FS?

[AImldm]

How good is the VIP suite at admiral theater? Is there FS? What can I get there?

[Mr Ganosuke]

How good is the VIP suite at admiral theater? Is there FS? What can I get there?Based on the standard set by this site, the VIP suite is not very good. It's been a long while since I've been out there, but from what I remember, you can find a really good looking girl to give you a low milage, though sultry, dance. Definitely no "wink, wink," and certainly no "nudge, nudge. " Hope that answers your question. If anyone has conflicting information, feel free to share.

I almost went there yesterday (Sunday). As I was walking towards admiral from harding avenue, there was a shooting on lawrence ave. One bullet even whizzed past me. I high tailed from there. Be careful when you visit admiral theater guys.

Can we atleast get some nude action in VIP in pink monkey?

How good is the VIP suite at admiral theater? Is there FS? What can I get there?There is probably virtually NO FS at Admiral. Prices are very high, ladies are very hot. Admiral is meant for table dances and maybe 3 songs in the curtained rooms for lap dance kings. I don't remember prices but they are high, something higher than 3 songs for $75. (That used to be their prices.).

Still, if you aren't drinking (no alcohol served), it's a fun place to watch a constant show of hotties.

[LatinPoker]

Just a quick note. All-Stars in McCook is now topless. Went there last Saturday and was surprised with the good news. I know the girls there are not 10's, but they look a lot better with tits bouncing around. Girls are charging $50 for 3 songs. A little steep.I'm right down the street from all stars, but haven't been there in ages bc the talent is always hit / miss (mostly miss!) LOL. Topless would at least liven up the vibe there, I'll need to head back and check it out. Do you know if there are any extras to be had? I had heard that they got rid of the pool table in favor of a dark back area for dances?

I would imagine anything could be had for a price. But remember, these girls are now making $50 for 3 songs (10 min.), so I would guess anything extra would be in the $300/ hour range. Feel free to prove me wrong and let me know about it. ;.

[Vern2020]

I went to IS this Saturday night. I don't go to strip clubs very often, but I usually go to IS out of habit because over the past many years I've found it to be the most consistent. Anyway, thought I would post a report based on the dances I got from London. Great dances! Grinding, dirty talk, hot girl. Thin, artfully done tatoos, brunette, very pretty. Some other girls were pretty hot last night, as well. 3 dances are 65, so that's a pretty good deal. Strip clubs are not the most economical bang for the buck, of course, but I like to go every now and then.

We used to joke about that place when we'd go and spend a couple of hours there (long enough to see a few "shift changes), sometimes the talent that shifted in was HOT, most times not. We even dubbed those times then poor talent shifted in as the "c-section" hour (for obvious reason!

All that being said, I may swing by and check it out, not sure about the $50 3 song deal. That is a far cry from the $10 lap dances I recall from this place, maybe if a nice tug was involved, then maybe, but otherwise I don't think this place generates the caliber of talent to charge that fee.

[Kunderu]

There are a few girls that will do extras. One of the dancers even has parties and will post on her social media when they occur. Some of the dancers from here and from other locations will attend these "private" parties and extras can be had.

[Stud999]

Visited on a weekday and it was dead with hardly anything happening. Repeated the visit on a Saturday night and though it was slow there were still 15-20 girls. There was a good mix of races, body types and personality. They have promotion (2 dances for $50) every hour and this time I caught a few of the promos. There was a spinner Latina who gave one of the best grinding dances with a lot of touch, I ever had across all the clubs I have visited in different cities. She works 3-4 days a week and wouldn't give me her info. Going there in the next week or so to get it. She would be dynamite outside!

Also had a dance with blonde girl Bobby, not much of a dancer but very sensual and got it going. Did get her contact though and plan to work on her to get to meet outside.

There are extras to be had with some girls but you need to pick wisely.

[Vern2020]

I posted a couple weeks ago that I don't go to strip clubs very often, which is true. But I was back out at them last night after just being out at Industrial Strip a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to go to 390 because it usually gets the best reviews. I haven't been in several years, not since they remodeled. I thought the remodel was very well done. The club was comfortable, and there were a lot of good looking girls. The dances were good, but not great. There just wasn't that over the top effort to get me off. After sampling a few girls, I decided to split. Instead of heading home, I decided to head over to Jimmy's. I haven't been there in many years, as well. Let me tell you, I had an amazing time! This club now seems to be 99% African American. It's been so long since I've been there, that this wasn't the case last time. I had the hottest 18 year old Dancer, and she gave some of the best dances I've ever gotten. Now, it's not like Arnie's used to be, but if you want some good grinding dances from really hot AA girls, I'd give Jimmy's a shot.

[NiceChicaGaGuy]

Last night must have been Jimmy's night for this board. I had a little time to kill early in the evening (I rarely hit clubs in those peak late hours; I tend to avoid crowds) and stopped by. First, I recognized Dynamite from Fantasy. Here, she is going by. Wait for it. Dynamite. When I told her I recognized her from the other club, she asked a little hesitantly if we had ever hooked up. (We had.) She took me into the back for a trio of sensational dances that would have made my night at any club. Then I came back out and had another drink and was joined by the venerable Ginger. What a sweetheart! If one could ever fall in love with a dancer it would be her. (Don't tell my S. O.) Three more fantastic dances and I was reluctantly off to do my other business. (On the way back, since I was in the western suburbs, I had a nostalgia based trip to Playpen to eliminate a bad taste from my last trip there, but that's another story) Jimmy's May not be what it used to be, but I can't complain about yesterday.

So I'm new to the area around Mannheim but I'm here very frequently now. Any suggestions on which of the bars are good to visit, and are they ok to go alone or are all of these places the kind that are better visited when part of a group?

Any suggestions on which of the bars are good to visit, and are they ok to go alone or are all of these places the kind that are better visited when part of a group?It's been awhile for me in that area, but IMHO, they are hit and miss. The girls come and go. I have had some fun at Bobbie's as well as Carl's, but don't expect much. Enjoy a few beers with some minor adult fun. Your best bet is take out, but that can take some time and effort. Keep monitoring the forum to look for current and reliable updates.

You are fine going alone, as long as you mind your own business. The owners do not want any trouble as long as you're not looking for any. The places on Mannheim are somewhat "protected", so they are generally safe.

[ChicagoScott]

First. I would post this in the Melrose Park section.

Second. Just wing it & give them a shot & feel them out. I prefer to go alone, play innocent, and then inquire about things & see how it goes.

Hit up the Melrose Park forum & you'll get more info there.

There are guys here on the forum that will know more than I, however since I live close by I do do some due diligence for the team. On the south end just west of mannheiim on lake there is louie's. Moving north on mannheim there are several as mentioned in the strip club thread on the melrose forum. Just be careful in the car around there. Last night I was thinking about the heim and really when one counts them there are at least 6 separate police forces in the immediate area! Northlake, melrose, stone, franklin, unicorporated leyden covered by darts boyz from cook county as well as schiller. Watch your speed and also don't hollywood stop on your right turns! If one looks on the forum one can note a few other tips about known girls in the area trolling. Mostly if not all scams.

[TheMinister]

I appreciate all the insight. Completely forgot about the Melrose Park forum too, thanks for the reminder!

[JNorris]

No Elgin forum so assume this goes here. I have always had good luck in the lap dance area at BJs. Hands travel everywhere but the why with all the girls and often there as well. Saw a girl there a few years ago who I had seen several times before and she said during our second dance "I wish I had a condom" When I told her I did she insisted I use it. Later she said she never idi that out side the private dance area but it was a great set of dances. I saw Angel last time and tho we did not go to a private room I left very happy from her lappers. I love going during the day when there are not may people back in the booths. Great club.

[DeanTheDream]

I was in 390 last month looking for one of my all time fav's crystal when they said she hadn't been dancing for a while now. I know she is probably dancing somewhere closer to the northwest burbs where she is from, since a car always seemed to be an issue. She is Dominican / Rican tallish slender, early 20's, nice rack with almost no baby damage. She always wore a wig of straight long hair. Any info please PM me.

Thanks,

Dream.

I am thinking about making a trip to Boogie Nights this weekend to check it out. I haven't been there yet since it opened. I use to visit the old Arnie's on occasion. Just wondering if it is worth the trip. I am not expecting it to be like the old Arnie's, but for anyone that has visited recently is it worth visiting? Any decent dancers working there now and can you at least get a decent private dance if so inclined? Thanks for any info.

There is good talent if you like black chicks. I still manage to get a HJ with threat of a BJ. FIV. If you stop thinking about it as what it used to be I think you'll manage to have a good time. Also a plus that you can smoke in the back.

[Mr Charmo]

Hanging with out of town monger friends. Anyone down to hit up a gentle man's club tonight? Hit me up, we're open to any area or suburb.

[RationalityLoL]

I went to Arnie's like around a year ago or so. And they had just got raided. I think by the feds. All the small little sections they made in the back to get serviced, were all taken down and everything was in the open. Girls werent offering anything extra and the club was drying up. Ugh. I can't believe its gone. I would go there about twice a year just to get my fix, but now the place is gone!

Boogie nights is there. I went in and tried to get something and the girls there were like ". Yeah this is not the same club anymore. " Then I got one girl who used to work at the club when it was Arnie's, a heavier girl, to offer me something as long as a certain manager was there. She was talking about 150-200 and then another 50 for the doorman. I said no way. Anybody have any similar experiences? What prices do you guys get offered there? I figure if you go there and spend some money and get to know the girls, after a while some will open up and offer you extras outside of the club, maybe in a room or something. I ended up just finishing my drink and leaving.

I love AA girls. So that was the spot for me because I would go in there, and I knew I would get approached by a bunch of AA girls and pick 2 girls and bust 2 nuts in the same night for the cheap. Maybe 60 bucks a girl. And I felt it was safe too, you know in an establishment like Arnie's, it just didn't make sense in my mind that you were going to have any trouble from LEO. I don't want to try to pick up a streetwalker or some random girl at a hotel. I don't want to take the risk of getting caught.

I'm thinking there have to be some other strip clubs with mainly AA girls where I can go in there and get to know them and have them come to a room after work. All those girls who were working must have continued their work somewhere. I just need to figure out where. And not get caught! Is the Skybox still open? Any others / ideas guys?

[Morrisman]

How much does it cost for a dance I. Back? Extras included?The place is expensive, but not as expensive as 390. Lap dances are 30 or 50 a song. They have a special two for 50 every half hour. The 30 a song is on a side with cameras and bouncers checking. The 50 side has no cameras and the two times I went there I saw a lot of girls on their knees with their heads in guys laps. YMMV. There are two types of rooms. The older cheaper rooms are along the back of the main areas wall. They have black curtains. 300 for 30 minutes and 500 or 550 for an hour. I forget. The expectation is that you tip 50. For 30 minutes the girl gets 150 and for the hour 250. They will try to get you to pay the tip up front. The other rooms are more expensive. The girls get a slightly higher cut, but if you want them to be happy just tip them more in the regular rooms. The higher rooms aren't worth it.

Now extras in VIP vary with the girl. In every case my little friend came out. This could lead to a handjob, blowjob, grinding directly, or FS. In my experience being a repeat customer got you the last option. Some girls are better options than others. Some are more attractive than others. YMMV.

I spoke to Angel a couple of times but only got a lap dance from her. She didn't strike me as someone that gave a lot of extras. From indications elsewhere I guess I might have been wrong.

Don't be shy getting their numbers and meeting them outside the club. 100 for a room and 300 for an hour is cheaper and you might even get more time.

[Teddy O]

I would assume the beauty queens don't give extras? I been in there a few times and spinners are always busy with regulars. When ever I'm at the strip club I always feel like the uglier ones are more likely to give extras.

[LongRanger99]

What goes on at Red Diamond? I heard that anything and everything goes on during Friday and Saturday. Is that true?

[MrJohnDoe]

What goes on at Red Diamond? I heard that anything and everything goes on during Friday and Saturday. Is that true?Red Diamond isn't open on most Friday's & Saturday's, I believe they are only open on Thursday & Sunday nights. The same people who run The Factory run Red Diamond. The Factory is open on Friday & Saturday nights. The last couple of times I've been to Red Diamond it had some nice eye candy but there wasn't a whole lot going on in terms of mileage. Also expect to be charged $10-20 to park and another $20 for cover to get in.

[IllMatic80]

He used to throw lockdowns in different venues in Chicago. Used to have free beer and a bunch of anything goes strippers. They would do floor shows and sometimes this involved two or three girls eating each other and / or using toys on each other. Most of the time there was a little room or two for extras and they charged like $25 or so to go back there, and depending on the girl you could get FS for $40-80 or so. Every once in a while, he'd fly in a famous porn star too.

Great, great times. I lost touch with him and was wondering if he was still doing his thing. Or, are there any other lockdowns going on around the city any more? The demise of Arnie's and Skybox has me wanting to find other options that are a sure thing.

[LongRanger99]

Yes. There are guys and clicks that have sex shows throughout the Chicago area. Problem is you have to be in on the click. When these places have admission to the public then they do not last very long. I don't know of any but I wish I did. Those underground sex shows are the greatest. Women walking around naked and that is just the start of it.

A little while ago I ran across one by accident. I noticed this place had traffic from up to 6 am in the morning. In 2017 there was a man that had these sex shows on 11900 between Michigan and Halsted. This place was rocking way more than any strip club. Then just as he got the downstairs going, the place got shut down.

They would bring in dancers and performers for the guys to watch, great times. But the younger guests would get a few drinks in them and start to cause trouble, after that the smokers were a thing of the past.

[Adrick Ian]

Haven't been there in a while. Stopped in again.

Afternoons used to be a sure thing at a reasonable (by strip club standards) price, but evenings used to be quite a bit more expensive with requirements to buy time in the private area, plus tip the bouncer, plus pay the dancer for her services.

It appears that that afternoons now have the same expensive policy as the evenings. I'm not certain if extras are even available anymore, since I wasn't willing to shell out 300+ to find out. I got the impression that once you're back there services are the same as they had been, but that could have been a rouse to empty my pockets.

Had one dancer offer me her number for takeout sometime. Got no response when I text a few days later. Calls go straight to vm and are never answered or returned. I suspect she gave me a fake number. Not sure why she bothered.

[Dpmct]

Gents.

I'm visiting the Chicago area (Hammond), and trying to figure out which club I might be able to find FS or even just a BJ. It sounds like extras may be available at 390, but costly, yes? Ballpark range?

In guidance is helpful. I'm from Michigan and happy to provide any Detroit Intel folks may want (trust me it's worth the trip).

[MassageMan2018]

Club 390 and Atlantis are near each other and if you are willing to go into champagne room and tip well- almost always extras to be had there.

In guidance is helpful. I'm from Michigan and happy to provide any Detroit Intel folks may want (trust me it's worth the trip).There's not many places for extras anymore. The area you're staying in use to have a handful of places for extras. Not so much anymore. With that said, it's not entirely impossible. Places like 390, & Fantasy are hit or miss & you are right, it's costly now. Plan on spending 300 or more total and MAYBE you'll get some extras. There is still a place that offers some reasonable fun called Temptations in Gary. It's primarly an AA club & unless you're AA you might feel a bit out of place. Not to worry, I've never had a problem there & have felt welcome whenever visiting. It's not that far off the expressway but the neighborhood is a bit seedy. Again, I've been there many times & never had a problem. I do recommend going straight there & straight back, avoiding any stops for food or gas etc in that area. Temptations is a late night club, does not serve alcohol, & you will be patted down. They have all shapes & sizes. I am a fan if slender AA hotties so I have always enjoyed this place. For more info, you may want to check out the NW Indiana forum.

[Brocko15]

Enjoyed the club when I went here. My favorites were Keira, Isis & Mackenzie. Any body know if they are in other clubs now?

Enjoyed the club when I went here. My favorites were Keira, Isis & Mackenzie. Any body know if they are in other clubs now?Admiral is not very good now. The stage dances are now topless because they wanted to "class it up". The private dances are too expensive.

[SteelDog65]

IMO both are available at both clubs from many girls. Be upfront that you want more than just a dance, your wording must work for you after you have a test drive dance. I am 100% ITC with Atlantis (5/5) and 100% at 390 (6/6) and OTC 75% at Atlantis (6/8) and 100% at 390 (4/4). You just need to validate the girl first and make sure she is willing to play before you ask. I won't give names but ITC at both required at least 1/2 hour in a private so figure 300 at Atlantsi and 250 at 390 for just the room then there is tipping inovolve. It is expensive but the quality is high imo and you get exactly what you see.

[Dr StrangeLust]

Within 4 minutes of entering this dump, a 6/10 tatted brunette was all handsy at the bar. She guaranteed that she could elicit nirvana within two songs. I knew she couldn't, but 7 minutes later my zipper was down in the private (read: not all that private) dance area (a barstool height chair in a corner around the corner from the bar), she licked the length of her right hand and tried her darndest. After the first song knowing that nirvana was not in the cards, I cut things short and gave her 25. Back at the bar, she made no secret about the fact that OTC was available and that she loved the third input and receiving facial moisturizer. Had she been an 8/10, I would have taken her number. I went out for a cigarette then bailed within 19 minutes of entering. There were two more attractive women who were occupied at the bar (one with her backside and left hand working their magic for a customer). I would have stayed but there was other mischief elsewhere to attend to. I guess I'd go back.

Aside from being young and cute, her dances are awesome, and she's accommodating without the usual stripper negotiation and upsell drama. I so wish she hadn't got the boob job though. I loved her original perky As.

Within 4 minutes of entering this dump, a 6/10 tatted brunette was all handsy at the bar. She guaranteed that she could elicit nirvana within two songs. I knew she couldn't, but 7 minutes later my zipper was down in the private (read: not all that private) dance area (a barstool height chair in a corner around the corner from the bar), she licked the length of her right hand and tried her darndest. After the first song knowing that nirvana was not in the cards, I cut things short and gave her 25. Back at the bar, she made no secret about the fact that OTC was available and that she loved the third input and receiving facial moisturizer. Had she been an 8/10, I would have taken her number. I went out for a cigarette then bailed within 19 minutes of entering. There were two more attractive women who were occupied at the bar (one with her backside and left hand working their magic for a customer). I would have stayed but there was other mischief elsewhere to attend to. I guess I'd go back.J's is an actual strip club?

[StanleyStankas]

J's is an actual strip club?Us old stale farts used to call them bikini bars, however the youngins' will chime in I'm sure.

[Jc2490]

J's is an actual strip club?J's may not be a strip club, the ladies there do provide more services than are usually available in a club at a much lower cost.

[SeanKonnery]

Us old stale farts used to call them bikini bars, however the youngins' will chime in I'm sure.I went there today around 1 pm for lunch. Couldn't drink as I had to go back to work. Thinking I could be happy coming back. Saw 5 girls working 3 were decent, like meh (meaning I would have). There were 2 like Abraham Wrinklin. Like kinda grandma-ish. TBH no one came and sat net to me either. And it kinda had a odd smell. The bartender was nice. Looks like she's been around the block has missing teeth. Was only in there for 45 min to one hour. Maybe I will come back.

[SeanKonnery]

I have a friend that has been working at Oddessy for years. He's always asking me too stop in and come. But it's so far south. But I'm willing to drive if anyone has any good experiences.

[Karn Evil 9]

However, keep in mind that the immediate area is all blue collar workers so you will see a lot of pickup trucks etc say at noonish and after work in the parking lots. The places are more known for after work stops prior to going home "to the old lady". I believe if they start recognizing your face and know you will spend you can acquire their services as such. Completely different than say scores or the place next door where they are valeting cars and charging covers. And yes I do remember that we would go for the fashion shows now that it is mentioned. The tickets also. I think that was a legal thing. There were also these places in industrial parks that you would go in and they would give you a camera to take pictures of the girls for a price. Also I recall a waterbed demo place. I am old now, however I did my share of being a sucker at most all of those hustles back in the day!

[Tinley708]

Several mentions of fashion shows in the threads here. The south side along highway 30 used to have about 8-10 places that ran them at lunch time. Yes they came with ticket purchases and occasionally you would win something that you really couldn't take home. Nicely broken in or pre-worn. I have been trying to find any place that still offers them if anyone knows of any. I always liked to stay till the end, after most guys started filtering back to work. I burned many a vacation day that way. LOL It usually was very productive to buy extra tickets toward the end, be very friendly with the girls and offer a drink when they got off work. About half the time they would be willing to go with you somewhere, sometimes for a fee, sometimes for free. And often ended up with a phone number or two.

Hoping to still find then again.

Hoping to still find then again.I've had a lot of fun in the "fashion show" scene. It has been the primary source of entertainment in this hobby for me. Back in the 90's I became very friendly with a couple of the folks that ran the companies that provided the "models". I've also enjoyed some FWB relationships with the "models" themselves. It originally started as a "fashion show" so an ordinary bar could skirt the local ordinances & liquor licensing laws. Since the bar did not actually hire & supply the entertainment they didn't need an entertainment permit. The girls sold raffle tickets instead of being paid as adult entertainment. Eventually they were required to wear pantyhose, I believe that had to do with health code.

Things have evolved in to what a handful of bars still run. J's, Carl's, Bobby's, Louie's, All Stars, & Homer's for example, are all still categorized as neighborhood bars, they just have women walking around in lingerie. I don't know what has changed allowing them to have the girls offering "dances" instead of selling tickets. Either way, It's essentially still the same thing, women walking around the bars in their panties playing touchy feely. I guess the latest incarnation of this concept is a cross between the fashion show bar & a strip club. I'm just glad they're still around. For those of you looking for more info, I suggest checking out the Melrose Park Strip Club thread. If anyone know's of other places, please let us all know!

Possibly not being an employee or that these were special events even though they were daily endeavors got them around local ordinances.

I know pirate pete's is long gone. However, in the list that you mentioned I know them all except allstars is that still open? I go by there on my way to the bank all the time and I see that house on grand on the south side of the street where the big rigs have monthly parking, however I thought since I had never been there that that must be where it was or just advertising?

Never saw anyone I'd pay for a dance in that place. The All Stars I referenced is in McCook off 1st ave. Near 47th. They still have the same type program as the Mannheim bars. The place on grand was more of a traditional strip club.

You are correct, the agencies were the ones that provided / supplied the "models". There was Vogue Fashions, run by the infamous Dawn H. aka the Palos Park Madam. She landed in all kinds of trouble. Sneak Previews, that was my favorite, The owner, Tammy, was a smokin hot blonde that would do private parties in person & was wild to say the least. Was fortunate enough to be at a closed door event & she gave me a face full of her kitty. There was also Helen Of Troy run by a woman named Carol. She was cool & had some fun ladies.

There are still opportunities for fun. A lot of the Mannheim lingerie girls are up for OTC. Some of the bars look the other way on that & some crack down hard on the girls that offer it. One just has to be careful & not bluntly ask for it. I find it's best to drop hints & see where the conversation goes IMHO.

Anyone remember Genos? He had a few places. I started going to his place on Western, I believe it was Geno's Knights Out. That was a closed door bar & was TONS of fun. There was also a place on Elston, Nantucketts. That was another really crazy place. I miss the days of the closed door fashion shows. That's where the real fun was. You had to know someone to get in. I was invited to many of those by the girls or the agency owner I had become friends with. I've been hoping to find something like that recently but no luck. Don't know if it's a thing of the past or just more tigght lipped about it.

Don't know if it's a thing of the past or just more tigght lipped about it.Now I vaguely recall that the allstars up here was an actual strip club. As mentioned back in the day I started my business in the northwest burbs and was representing strippers and waitresses for private parties only though. I am sure the girls I was booking were also doing these types of clubs on occasion to pickup extra cash. I agree that if one would make their face known as someone that wants to hang and drop cash I don't think one would necessarily have to come right out and ask for otc. These girls need money. Where I do my laundry a girl was hired and then quit as she could not earn that much on a check because she was collecting disability. She was working at j's as well. She came and went before I got a chance to meet her at the laundry, however one girl there said she was attractive. So I think these ladies are all looking for supplemental income and are looking for regulars to finance them away from the club. Actually I may have to make a cruise down there because 1st is cumberland up here and I can go straight down to 47th. Thanks again all rise for the honorable mayor!!

I was thinking WTF the club is that little house? Ok makes sense. They just left the sign up. Tx again.

There were at least 6 places in Berwyn that had Fashion Shows as well as more in Chicago Heights, and Calumet City. Beverly had a couple of bars with them also for a very short time. How many of you met Jenny McCarthy while she was doing them? Before her boob job with an offer of a couple of lines she was happy for OTC play.

[Mr Charmo]

Does anyone have a place I can crash at and relax for an hour or two. And by relax I mean bring a girl in and dot dot dot. First time meet so I'm hesitant to get a room. The drive out itself in the snow makes me pull back a bit.

I have a place in the city I can offer, or can pay for the room / time as well.

[MontataBoy]

What was your damage?300 for half hour with 100 tip.

How many of you met Jenny McCarthy while she was doing them? Before her boob job with an offer of a couple of lines she was happy for OTC play.Yep, Jenny M was WILD back then. It was shortly before she got her centerfold deal. I remember a closed door party when she was up on a pool table letting guys FIV for a reasonable tip. She was a regular in the fashion show circuit for a brief time. She wrote a tell all book & admits to giving BJ's for gas money on a road trip to Florida but doesn't mention anything about her days as a fashion show "model".

In the early 90's the shows were popping up everywhere. There was a place in Westmont on the Frontage Rd off I55 that had a pretty good show. There was even a family Pizza place in Naperville called Jakes that ran one during lunch hours. Anywhere ther were a lot of offices, warehouses, manufacturing plants that had a lot of workers on their lunch breaks were potential spots. I believe DuPage county eventually passed some type of ordinance ending them but not to sure of that. A lot of the bars in Berwyn & cicero had them, Cicero Sports bar was one of the craziest.

These days J's, Bobby's & Louie's are your best bets but are definitely hit or miss (more miss than hit). When one is lucky enough to have the stars aligned with the right factors (the right girl on a slow day who needs cash & the right bar tender on duty etc.) some fun can be had, but not as common as the old days.

[Datsurman]

That is the most amazing little tidbit of news I have heard in a long time. Must have felt real good knowing you had hands on her back in the day before she got famous!

Like I said by the time she was on my radar she was just about ready to be a pbpm of the month. I had heard through one of my girls that she met an airline pilot, possibly married him or at least got financed by the guy. But yea you guys know a lot more about her than I, however she sounds like she really liked to play. Big star now of course so I am sure she would have her security remove us if we came up to her and mentioned our little fashion shows back here!

[SteelDog65]

Have gotten OTC from some 390 and Atlantis girls. Not willing to share names without asking them but curious if others have success. 2 from 390 and 3 from Atlantis. ITC is available from lots of girls at both clubs but the $$$ cost is too high as you have to pay the CR cost as well as tip.

I have had an OTC from 390, but had to 'prove' myself in one of their 15 minute VIP cubicles. That was fun but expensive and the OTC has been the same.From Chicago now residing in San Diego. Strip clubs suck in SD, but the Asian Spa scene is unbelievable! When I was as in ChiTown, I've met a few gals at 390 and Atlantis for OTC, but as stated so many times on this forum, very pricey! Going to meet some old friends at both clubs for the food and drink specials (Atlantis $5 Beer and burger before 7, is the best!) and admire the talent, but saving most of my cash for sure things in Vegas and San Diego! I was just telling my buds for the cash we've dumped at these strip clubs they could fly to Vegas or SD for a few days. Get a nice hotel (No, my place is reserved for me and my gals only) and I would find some cute to gorgeous gals at Spas or Casino gals and spend a lot less then we do at these clubs. Actually, I'm told we can fly to Asia or South America and spend even less including great cuisine! Some day when I have the cajones to travel outside of America's safety blanket!

Usually go after golf around 4:00 pm with a couple buddies. Just seems the girls at 390 are more fun and willing to hang out. Not too pushy with the dances / or pushing the VIP rooms. If you're looking for some level1 or 2. These clubs are not the way to go.

Just go there, have some fun and look at some hot girls.

[TwoBlueBalls]

Hey Chicago mongers. Going out with a group. How's the talent at Club O and Oceans? I believe they have he same owners. Oceans is a beautiful club, but last time I was here the I'd pay the girls to keep their clothes on!

[SteelDog65]

WTF is Level 1 or Level 2?

Oceans is beautiful but the cost of walking in and a couple of drinks is out of line with the girls there. You know that O has closed and they moved operations to a dive in Indiana that used to be wiggles?

It was on its way down last few times I was there, but I hooked up with a few dancers back in its day. Old habits die hard. That was a big place and with all the cash the owners sunk into Oceans, I understand why they shut those doors. Any decent Asian dancers at any of these clubs?

Have only been to Heavenly Bodies and The Gold Club within the last 5 years or so.

Would rather pay to fuck than to get teased.

I live 10 minutes away from HB's so I used to frequent it alot from 15 years ago to 5 years ago. Never got extras but did get a few phone #s.

Bro. Stopped at HBs at 3 am.

HOLY SHIT its become an absolute shit show.

DISGUSTING nasty bitches.

Not over exaggerating.

NASTY! X s 10000.

Fat, ugly, stretch marks, nasty. . even had a fucking pregnant chick on the main stage!

Hottest chic I say was an Asian that was a 7. 5.

Next best looking chick was a 5.

95 % were fuking DISGUSTING.

That Arab with the huge nasty fat ass is still there!

I remember her from my 1st visit ever which was almost 30 years ago!!

Gold club. Its been my go to spot if I'm in the mood.

They have $10 dances in Thursday. Beautiful club, drinks arent bad for strip club standards at $9 for a grey goose.

Have not received extras at the club, but have gotten plenty of OTC. Gorgeous Columbian and a hot young black thing from Texas. Usual damage was 4 beans. A couple of others gave me their numbers but wouldn't respond.

Haven't been to Atlantis in about 8 years but my first visit their was offered a BJ for 1 bean and had to top the bouncer to look away.

Club O had extras back in the day. Especially during the day between noon and 5 pm.

Received a bunch of bjs and FS. This was in a period about 8 to 12 years ago.

I see vids on Instagram promoting Club O and I see its 100 % African American males and strippers. Is it even safe for a white dude?

Have had plenty of OTC at the bikini bars in Melrose park, Carks and Louis. Damage was between 200 to 350 depending on the looks of the girl and what was offered on the menu.

Your report brings back so many memories when I was a Chicago native. HBs was just a bikini bar but they used to have lots of girls, quite a few hotties, some that would meet OTC and cheap beers! Atlantis is a nicer than avg club but the talent is hit or miss, but when they've got good talent, it's no holds barred in the private rooms! I was there a few weeks ago for the $5 beer and burger with some buds and the cutest gal there was the masseuse. I believe her name was Brandy. I'm told Club O is closed and the owners are betting on their new club, Oceans by Midway airport and another club they opened in Indiana. Try 390 in the Heights. It's small but decent atmosphere, lots of gals, cheap beers, decent food. No pressure dancers or mandatory drink requirements.


Have only been to Heavenly Bodies and The Gold Club within the last 5 years or so.

Would rather pay to fuck than to get teased.

I live 10 minutes away from HB's so I used to frequent it alot from 15 years ago to 5 years ago. Never got extras but did get a few phone #s.

Bro. Stopped at HBs at 3 am.

HOLY SHIT its become an absolute shit show.

DISGUSTING nasty bitches.

Not over exaggerating.

NASTY! X s 10000.

Fat, ugly, stretch marks, nasty. . even had a fucking pregnant chick on the main stage!

Hottest chic I say was an Asian that was a 7. 5.

Next best looking chick was a 5.

95 % were fuking DISGUSTING.

That Arab with the huge nasty fat ass is still there!

I remember her from my 1st visit ever which was almost 30 years ago!!

Gold club. Its been my go to spot if I'm in the mood.

They have $10 dances in Thursday. Beautiful club, drinks arent bad for strip club standards at $9 for a grey goose.

Have not received extras at the club, but have gotten plenty of OTC. Gorgeous Columbian and a hot young black thing from Texas. Usual damage was 4 beans. A couple of others gave me their numbers but wouldn't respond.

Haven't been to Atlantis in about 8 years but my first visit their was offered a BJ for 1 bean and had to top the bouncer to look away.

Club O had extras back in the day. Especially during the day between noon and 5 pm.

Received a bunch of bjs and FS. This was in a period about 8 to 12 years ago.

I see vids on Instagram promoting Club O and I see its 100 % African American males and strippers. Is it even safe for a white dude?

Have had plenty of OTC at the bikini bars in Melrose park, Carks and Louis. Damage was between 200 to 350 depending on the looks of the girl and what was offered on the menu.

Cowboys, Arnies, Skybox and Club O to name a few of the more popular places. Skybox used to be decent and I believe it was the same owner as Heavenly Bodies in Elk Grove Village. The owner got arrested for some bullshit like tax evasion (Rumors) and it was downhill from there. Back in the day those clubs had a diverse clientele but my last drive through Harvey I couldn't get through that town fast enough!

Homer's is shut down and will be shut down quite possibly to perpetuity.

Homer's is shut down and will be shut down quite possibly to perpetuity.Really? When and why did this happen?? I actually really liked this spot, the only place in the city you could get nude lapdances and have a shot to go along with it. Pretty soon, we'll have absolutely nowhere to go for entertainment.

The quality has definitely gone downhill. There are still a few cute gals, but it's nothing like it was back in 2012/2013. The place used to be packed with gorgeous women- one more beautiful than the next. Not any more. The house fee has turned off some dancers. I know the higher cover charge has turned off customers- it's less crowded than it used to be. I don't go as much now because of that.

The Arab gal you're talking about has to be Erica. I think she's a gypsy. She's nice personality wise, but I agree she should have retired a long time ago. That's no exaggeration- she was there back in the 90's when I first started going there. They need to get back to the basics- lower the cover charge, lower the house fee, and hire young, thin, fit gals (preferably white, but a variety is good too) who give great, full contact lap dances. It's not that difficult. That's the winning formula.

[LongRanger99]

It appears Homer's might be still open for stripper dances on a restricted basis. UpDates to follow after confirmation. No doubt the establishment is open for normal bar business.

They got raided. It appears by the Feds. Looks like someone got fired then reported the establishment.The version I heard: Some dudes wife confronted him at the bar and caused a scene. She wasn't happy he was spending time and money there. She complained to CPD, who raided and arrested some of the ladies. Said ladies paid fines. Bar WAS NOT closed, but no more shows. Once heat dies down, things may return to normal. Also Homer's is NOT a strip club. It's a neighborhood bar with a variation of the old stye "lingerie shows" and lap dances. It's thread is in the "Mexican bars and clubs" thread.

That's no exaggeration- she was there back in the 90's when I first started going there. Erica was a girl that used to pass me by for dances way back then because she was pulling down big spenders. She was so hot back then I felt lucky if I ever got a dance from her. Meeko, the Japanese woman who might be older than Erika is still dancing. There's a floor manager or house-mom working there who also used to be one of the hottest dancers there in the 90's.

Girls are skanks but still fun to watch!

My memory serves me to recollect pretty women and decent food. It was a very long time ago but my memory cannot let me forget when I would frequent there, there was this server / waitress. She looked far better than the dancers. The woman was Arab / East Indian / Gypsy. Not sure which one. Point is, she was beyond fine. She was drop dead gorgeous. She had it all. Beautiful face, long curly black hair, nice size breast, nice waist line, nice legs and nice ass. I was amazed because she was a server but looked much better than the dancers and the dancers looked good.

[Mr Charmo]

Any action going on at any stripclibs tonight? I have a date but should be done by 11 pm. Any guys down for a club tonight?

Any action going on at any stripclibs tonight? I have a date but should be done by 11 pm. Any guys down for a club tonight?Heavenly Bodies and Oceans were the two local clubs that had booths. Both clubs were talking up their after parties and were giving out handouts for reduced admissions. I don't remember what they are charging for the parties but it seemed steep to me. I would recommend looking at the exxotica website as well as the clubs websites to see what they are offering. I know that Heavenly Bodies were to have a number of porn stars there, don't know about Oceans.

Homers as a bar has a good standing in the community. City council member even have rallies there. CPD knows well about the place so I don't think they would have raided the place with such intensity.

Since I have been going to Homers, I am going to rate admission on Lingerie nights to that of 3 levels, strict, normal and buck wild. For years on the Lingerie nights it was strict admission. Then it went to buck wild then went to normal admission. Now they are operating on strict / reduced admission. Must have union card and only one evening per week.

I'm flying in from DC for an overnight layover in Chicago. I'll be landing around 11 PM. I've been researching the boards extensively, and here's what I've decided for my 3 options:

1. Try to get a late night appointment with a well reviewed girl for $300-350 for a sure thing.

2. Head to Industrial Strip. The IN board says they were recently raided so that may put a clamp down on extras. Don't want to go spend $300-350 there and walk out with a HJ or less, although I like the thrill of the chase.

3. Head to Louie's or J's and try for HJ or more and hopefully save a ton of money. But never been to Chicago and don't want to get blackballed for being the new guy. Also don't know what the neighborhoods are like anywhere. Don't want to end up in an area that I'm not welcome!

What do you guys think I should try?
