Won't miss Diamond, Allure, or Pin Ups
Brian and Barry are nice at Vivide on the day shift and the bang for the buck is good. All the other clubs in the group are mostlty just a bad experience IMO. Allure is a bust. Pin Ups day shift is the worst in the city, and the last straw at Diamond was converting the only decent seats in the club to a semi VIP that cost $20 just to sit on day shift. So nobody that's ever visited is surprised that all are struggling or closing. Wondering if it's a low IQ problem? Most businesses try to ensure the customer has a good experience so that they become repeat customers. That seems to be missing at most of these clubs.

I believe someone mentioned Allure closing soon too. Not looking good at all.
"The O" advertising is in the same building as allure. I suspect it's just a rebrand. IIRC the owner is the same for allure, diamond, Vivide, and now pin-ups.

I just seen where Diamond posted a farewell video on Instagram, never been was never on my radar of clubs to go to, heard it was hella small and parking and entry at night was pricey plus it was a night make it rain club. I knew something was happening when they started hosting some of their dancers at Vivide, Rain, and Rumors on Sunday night. I'm pretty sure they are scouting out a bigger location elsewhere maybe the lease renewal did not justify the closet space location they were renting, this is just speculation. I remember when the KOD open and it was suppose to be the it club on the Southside which quickly turn into a bust now hosting Sunday brunch, never been also but it looked hella big to be a strip club I guess parking lot pricing and entry fee pricing diminished the support to make it a successful venture. I'm optimistic about the landscape and future of Atlanta being the king of the stripclub industry, there are some moving pieces taking place but just a lot of clean up and consolidation going is all I see.

You know why it's closing? I'm going to try run through there Tuesday, if it really is the last day.

I bet many find themselves at "The O".

I hope they succeed. I do believe we need something in between Vivide and TT / Pony. A place where some of us "more mature" customers can go without having to compete with the big Buckhead money. A place where you can actually have a conversation, some dances, and a reasonably priced VIP if in the mood. The new Oasis seemed to fit that bill and I hope it reopens as planned.
I hope it succeeds as well but I'm not optimistic. The economy seems to be slowing and the times I went to Allure there were not more than half a dozen dancers. The 2 girls I liked already quit before renovations.

They will need some sort of splashy re-boot opening. Will believe it when I see they have reopened.

Dropping In
Dropping in to ATL for the first time in a decade. I'm requesting some charity.
Can you experienced fellows tell me which clubs are the nastiest, raunchiest, cheapest places in ATL? Yes, I'm willing to get shot. Where's the place to be that's most ghetto, cheap and nasty? All races of girls welcome, but places where girls speak English preferred.
Thank you very much. I apologize for this not being a report. Trust me when I say I will provide reports of wherever I'm sent.

No need to make this a rant and rave
All I did was quote what I was told. Since I do not do VIP unless I have an established rapport over multiple club visits, I do not know the true going rate. What I do know is that each dancer is an independent contractor and can set their own rate. You either buy or pass. That easy. Happy Hunting!

The lazy ones can go to Cheetah, there's PP & TT for the established joints, V rarely pulls hot white girls imo & zero Asians, the no papers Latinas will stick with Vivide and I don't think Allure is considering them. AA's have plenty clubs that I don't see new Allure winning since its supposed to be less hood.
I agree with you there is a lot of competition in that area, Oasis was the exception because of it's location & easy access to the northern suburbs. This made it convenient to both the dancers & guys. We really need a club north of the perimeter but it would melt many a soccer mom's head.

Black girl who took a liking to me quoted 170.
Latina chick wanted 200 as well, sounds like they were trying to upsell you.
300? Yeah that's def not the going rate.
