Strip Club Reports

Any Lydia sightings anywhere?

That's a name that I haven't heard for awhile! Along with Lydia, what about her friend when she worked at Fox's Den, Roxie? She also seems to have disappeared. They all do seem to come back around and show up again.

Check out the Youngstown forum for "the palace in the pines". Topless club in the front, nude club in the back.

DC Senior heading your way in a couple of weeks. Based on what I have read here and elsewhere, is it a reasonable assumption that there are no all-nude clubs in Cleveland, if not Ohio? Are there any in PA within striking distance of Cleveland? 'Just figuring out how to spend my hobbying time and a decent nude & high-mileage strip club is always an option. Thanks for any help and advice.

Not to be redundant I'll add to the pile of don't use or take a credit card in a strip club!

I lock my wallet with everything in it in the car and only take a small amount of cash and my car keys only with me into the club originally to just feel things out and see if there's a chick that catches my eye. If I find one I like and feel the need for more money I'll go back out to my car and bring in more cash but only the maximum amount that I'm willing to spend that night. I set a limit and refuse to go over it.

I won't even bring my credit card into a club, much less even consider using it once in the door.

ALWAYS use cash.

Jewelry, ID, everything stays at home or locked in the car. Only carry cash inside a club, and keep an eye on that, too.

If the clubs, or any bar really, wanted to be sticklers they could actually deny you entry and or service without a proper ID. That's the state liquor control board's idea, No ID = No Service, technically. Now the worst case scenario is the place gets raided or the cops get brought in for whatever reason. They start checking ID's to either let you go or put you in the wagon. They don't care if it's in your car, if it's not in your immediate possession then downtown you go to be printed in an attempt to identify you. If your prints aren't on file then they either let you go or they might feel like being pricks and hold you until someone comes to ID you or bring you your ID. Either way, ALWAYS have your ID on your person to avoid any long drawn out hassles. If you're uncomfortable having it in your pocket where a dancer might get her paws on it then put it in your fucking sock. The moral of the story, ALWAYS have your ID with you.

I don't carry anything except the donation in an envelope and my car key EVEN when I visit a trusted provider. I have my driver's license and a few extra dollars along with my phone locked up in an inconspicuous place in my car. If I'm able to, I leave my wallet with my credit cards and other cards at home. Better safe than sorry.

On my way home from a trip east I spent a night in Christie's and the club ripped me off. I was not planning on a night out in Cleveland, it just happened, and I had heard Christie's had hot dancers. Two girls, a blonde Russian and a brunette Brazilian pounced on me and talked me into a VIP dance. I paid by visa card and made the mistake of complaining to the waitress that I had forgotten my reading glasses and was having trouble seeing the copy's in the dark. After the dance the dancers tried to get me to go another 30 min. When I tried, the waitress said the card was declined, but had forgotten to have me sigh one copy from earlier. Not using the card much, and not traveling much, I had no reason not to believe her. When I checked my statements when I got home, the charge had in fact gone through. The club, or employees of it had ripped me off. My fault for being trusting and not planning my evening better. But just a warning to those who use their cards in Christie's, watch out.

I just posted a LONG reply about credit cards and Christie's. It may not do much good, but have you considered complaining to the credit card company? Don't worry about saying you were at a strip club. Just tell them you didn't receive something that you were charged for. You may have a little bit of leverage since you can tell them the rest of the bill is accurate. If that doesn't work, speak to the manager and tell him. He may just blow the whole thing off because the dancers may already have received their money and he doesn't want to have to get it back. Or he may get worried that his staff is ripping off customers. It never hurts to put up a fight. Good luck.

Terrific advice! I made that mistake when I was younger and was fortunate enough to have the credit card company delete the false overcharges. Good luck getting them to do that today unless you can prove your card was lost or stolen. A number of clubs request a drivers license with a card so they can prove you were there. Once they do that, the card company probably won't help you. You'll have to go to the club to complain. Good luck with that! Several years ago a friend of mine used his card at a place in Cleveland and was overcharged nearly $500 for VIPs. The card company refused to remove the charges. The investigator made a point of telling him that "establishments" such as the one he was complaining about are frequently charged by customers with creating bogus charges. He went on to basically tell the guy that credit card companies now are reluctant to reverse any strip club charges because they assume the customer is lying.

Here's some more info on Christie's and credit cards. I've been to the Christie's in Canton a couple of times in the past few weeks. The last time I ran into a friend of mine who told me never to bring a card to that particular club. He said six or seven years ago Christie's had a policy that required customers to be finger printed when they used a card. An employee explained that the Christie's clubs together had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars on "false charges" after customers claimed charges from the club weren't legitimate. I guess guys were running up their cards and then just calling the companies later and saying their cards had been lost or stolen. Christie's needed to prove beyond a doubt guys were running up their own charges so they finger printed them. They don't do the finger printing anymore, so I'm assuming they ask for a driver's license. Little matter, since I'll never take my cards into a club again. But here's where this story gets weird. My friend tells me he knows of guys who have gone into clubs, including that one, had a few beers, inexplicably blacked out and woke up later in their cars or at home with no memory of the night. They ended up with thousands of dollars in VIP charges they had no recollection of. Ordinarily, when I hear stories like this I think they're bullshit because I'm assuming these guys were amped up to be at a club, drank way too much too quickly and "drunk walked" through the rest of the night. These guys were too drunk to watch their cards and let themselves get played (which doesn't make what happened to them right but what can they do about it later? My friend says the stories are legit because he trusts these guys. He says they probably were drugged. I asked a female friend of mine who bar tends in Philadelphia and she says it's pretty common out there. Bartenders, cocktailers and dancers slip drugs into customer drinks to keep them around longer. Sometimes a guy just gets a little drunk quickly. Other times, depending on the drug, he completely checks out.

I'm pretty convinced after speaking with her that this happens in Ohio too. Anyways, regardless of what you believe, never carry your cards in. Also, watch your drinks.

I just couldn't resist. Using C / C in a strip club is just dangerous on so many levels.

Went to Ambers around midnight on Saturday. About 6 girls working, none of which were anything to really look at. I asked the best of the bunch, which was nothing more than an average girl that I normally wouldn't even give a second look to, how much are dances? She told me $20, and I basically laughed in her face. $10 door fee, $4 bud lights, and $20 dances from possibly 2, average at best strippers. There were a couple dancers that could have doubled as hippopotamuses, if anyone's into that. No wonder this place was dead! My buddies and I had 1 beer and left. The bartender and cocktail waitress were hot though.

Ambers. Had some takeout here with a hot caramel skinned lady. Day shift.

I'm an out of towner who used to travel to Cleveland quite often. The Fox's Den was my place haven't been there in years. Wonder how it is. ICE used to be my favorite dancer there. She was crazy, but what a body she had!! Loved to show it off. Wouldn't surprise me if she is still trying to dance somewhere as a 50 ish lady!!

Fox's Den is still a good place to watch a few pretty ladies who come and go.

Air dances are what you get these days thanks to the religious righteous uptight bastids who run the state liquor board.

Which is probably why many of them end up going to places where they can make more money.

[Ref82]

So I haven't been to any of the clubs in quite awhile always liked fox's den, laid back kinda place. Was wondering if it's still cool there? Any good talent there, anyone better than another, good dances or take out menues? Any Intel would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
