I used to think Harem House and Babes were bad but managed to find some decent looking girls to have as regulars. Since they changed their names to Jaguars and Jiggles, I haven't had a single regular in either one. If I find a pretty stripper that I like she doesn't stay because she can't make good money. On many trips I don't see a single girl I would want to buy a lap dance from. Last week I just stayed home and didn't miss going out to a strip club so I think I will reduce my visits and spend more time on other hobbies.

Posts: 174BBF on race weekend
Anybody have a good idea how busy Brad's gets on Indy 500 weekend. In the past I've primarily gone to west side clubs. And last year went to Jaguars as I knew a dancer just started there.

However, spend too much on updating them and making them nice and Gen Z can't afford them.
This was all covered, ya know, um, in the post. I get it, though, reading is hard.

I think you are way overthinking it.
Most of these clubs are not nice, at all. Update them, make them classy. The money will follow.

Posts: 80Help a visitor out.
Going to be in your town in a few weeks for a training seminar and would like to know if there are any clubs worth visiting when I'm in town. I'll be staying in the north west area near Eagle Creek park and don't want to travel more then 20-30 minutes from that area. Thanks for any help you can give and if you are ever in the Detroit area reach out and I'll try to return the help.

Posts: 332Club Onyx
I just became aware that Club Onyx on the south side has closed. It was raided by police and then lost its alcohol license. I did a little googling and found that it had the usual problems of a poorly run strip club. It was run in a way that it attracted a clientele that was involved in shootings, drugs and prostitution. I had not been there for years since before the Covid epidemic back when it was Classy Chassy. There is a paucity of strip clubs on the far south side now and there should be room for one in that location. You would have to have the right ownership and management team in place, though.
The strip clubs here I'm aware of that are still open are Jaguars, Jiggles, PT's, Brad's, Red Garter, Dancers, The Pony and Club Rio. That's only eight now. Silk may or not still be open. The last time I stopped by it was closed. I've seen cars in the parking lot of Paradise Cove while driving by so they may still be open. Am I missing any?

A lot of Gen Z trends go against the industry. First off, they're all broke, but that's a larger issue. They're not as big on relationships, so clubs relying on the "married man" market might become more fraught. They don't like creepy middle men intervening with sexuality, so the whole idea of a cut of every dance and room going to some rich club owner someplace also is unsavory.
Gen Z does love its tech, though, so I wonder if adding some technology in lieu of it taking the place of bouncers and servers, who would still be there but less visible, might not hurt. Dare I even say some AI. Gamify it.
Have a touchscreen at the front of the club. Allow customers to "login" with their phone number at the touchscreen. When they come in, they enter their preferences and the touchscreen recommends some dancers for them, or let customers scroll through pictures or descriptions of who's on shift. If they want, they can push a button and the dancer will come to the touchscreen to meet them (give the dancer an option to list some excuse if they don't want to see a particular customer). If the dancer is busy, have the system send a text message when she's free.
On subsequent visits, it'll remember a person's preferences by phone number and recommend similar dancers or ones they've seen in the past. It could even prompt customers to rate their experience after each dance with a 1-10 text, both to help get a feel for customer preference and to evaluate dance talent.
Have a favorite dancer? Sign up for a text alert to know when she's working.
As long as you're tracking, add a loyalty program: Every 10th dance is free. Get a free dance on your birthday. Have it so you can text to get a drink delivered to you or your dancer, too.
Give an option to text a tip to your favorite dancer even when you're not at the club. Give the dancers the chance to send personal messages of thanks back through the system so they can keep their personal contact info hidden.
Someone smart could do it. They'd want to try it someplace with a much more upscale club culture than Indy, though. LOL.
I've seen clubs try and reach out to Gen Z by offering things like video game pods in the club and whatnot, but I feel like that defeats the purpose of going to a club. There are other ways tech could happen. Someone just has to try it.

Some local clubs let the girls charge what they want. The results are always bad and cause a drop in customers but there is high manager turn over in local clubs so a new manager might not know when something was tried and didn't work before. The local clubs really don't make good use of any new technology. A few local clubs put their roster for the night on their twitter feed and a few have electronic boards that show the dancers currently in the club. There is also little market segmenting, where some clubs try to target a specific audience. It's not like the restaurant industry where there is a large variety of restaurants.

It's not exactly on the way to anything, so I was going about an hour out of my way to get there.
It was not worth the extra effort. Lappers just happened out in the open on one side. They had this weird habit of applauding at the end of each girl's stage set.
There were maybe two girls I thought were worthy of tipping with the rest not so much. If Indianapolis talent is a healthy step down, if not two, from Chicago & Detroit's, then the Hugger's was a full step further. The best looking girl was sitting at a table by herself the whole time until someone came with her dinner delivery in a Styrofoam container, at which point, she just sat and ate her dinner out of the container with a plastic fork like it was no big deal.
Nope, too townie for me, thanks, and that's coming from a guy who's been to the clubs in the bumpkin parts of Wisconsin.
