Posts: 239All Stars?
Anyone if they are sticking to their normal hours? Assuming being one of the only games in town would bring talent from the other Melrose places. Trying to visit after lunch time if they haven't changed their hours.

How many of those jack shacks are still opened on Lake and North? I was on lake recently in Addison and didn't see any. Use to see a lot.

Posts: 123Earlier this week Carls
I stopped by earlier this week and no I'd scan. It was around 5-6 though. It's exactly the same as I remember it being so that is nice. Low key and not crowded at all. Only a few girls which is expected at that time. I had 4 or 5 dances with a nice Latina in pig tails but I didn't get her name. She was fun. Nothing crazy but easy going and I enjoyed it. Still keeping my fingers crossed that the good spots go back to normal one day. Wishful thinking probably.

Before I could object the deed was done. Oh well. Going forward in my strip club reviews I think I'll be sure to highlight whether or not they scan (in the pros and cons) for people's increased awareness.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Every time I drive past All Stars it's one of those things where I slow down make a loop and keep going. I don't think it would wreck my household if something happened but definitely put me on a shorter leash. I Don't need that. I really hope things work out soon for our favorite spots. I think I will check out Carl's next week and see how it's looking. I'm hoping to find Rosie or Rosa. Latina with my favorite ass out of most so far. Like I said just don't want to deal with the crowd though. Haha I guess I'm getting older and trying to avoid crowds these days.

Or sometimes the door man would just let you slide by without it, but not anymore. I will just sit back and wait for Bobby's and Louie's to get rolling again and head back to Melrose Park.

Posts: 123Such a shame.
My work week is rough without Louies. I drove by polekatz today. Didn't stop just kept driving. Idk what it is. Maybe the valet parking or the atmosphere. I skip All Stars only because I don't like the ID scanning. I understand it probably means nothing but I I just avoid. I picture myself getting a call or letter about an incident or something that happened when I was there and it throwing a wrench in the home life. Paranoid I know. I just wish Louies and Jays were back to normal again. I think about Carl's but I assume they are probably packed all the time now. Has anyone been there around happy hour during the week? I like to sneak in around 3-5 for a few hours, beers, and dances but prefer to avoid crowds. I'd like to see my favorite Latina. Best booty around.

After about an hour, the place became absolutely packed. Several folks taking tables in the VIP side. Those tables require "bottle" service. You basically pay between 200 & 400 for top shelf bottle delivered to your table by hot "bottle girls" that dance around when delivering to your table. There is no lap dancing or any sort of contact. , It's all a flashy show. There didn't seem to be any type of shortage of cash flow that evening. All in all, not my scene.
Off to Bobby's. Much to my surprise, quite a crowd. Not a seat to be had at the bar & most of the high top tables taken. The pool tables were in use & the bartenders were hopping busy. People ordering rounds of shots on top of their regular drink orders. I saw a few familiar girls from J's, but they were just hanging out with friends drinking. I asked one that I know well what's going on, she said the bar has been busy lately. Talked to the bartender that also said that. Maybe people have been cooped up for so long they just need to get out?
I was shocked that both these places are so busy without the dancers. As I drove down Mannheim, the parking at Carls was so backed up with people trying to find where to put their cars & figured no way I wanted to even try to get in there. Also noticed the restaurant that occupies the once "Playpen" is now open & had people in there enjoying a meal.
Not so sure these places will even look to get the girls back. If they can get customers in spending money without the drama or risk of potential problems, why bother. Was sure a shock to see how packed these places are now.

However, not all is lost: through the power of the Internet I could gain a sense of what was going on inside the club via Instagram--the following post is quite telling:
https://www.instagram.com/p/CNk85AQABA0/
Examine the video clip in the above post: yes, lots of sexy women serving up drinks and stuff and dancing, well, with each other. But there seems to be nothing like one-on-one dancing, not even in the background of that footage. Also there's lots of phones out with folks taking pictures, likely for social media, which may constitute a privacy concern for some who have a significant other at home. This is markedly different than the prior iteration of Louie's which featured signs stating that patrons were not to take photos.
At this point I think the Louie's pivot toward a more pure nightclub play may not bode well for strip club aficionados, but perhaps we're still playing a waiting game here--at least that's my hope. One could also argue that the bottle babes at Louie's might be open to OTC action if one possesses that sort of charisma and social skills, but that differs markedly from the typical lingerie bar scenario. At this point, we also still need to analyze the situation at Bobby's, and I don't know if Carl's will improve at all with these shifts in the local market for the lack of competition may lead them to become complacent. This may oddly leave All Star in McCook--about 20 minutes away--as the best equivalent experience these days (on which see my prior March review in the Chicago thread).
That said, I do wish the owners of Louie's well. I'm thankful for all the fun I had in the past and, alas, this is probably their most viable path forward if they wish to remain profitable. As noted above, I do hope that there will be room in the future for individual dancing, but it's hard to keep that hope alive these days.

Posts: 245Post Election
I was wondering since the elections took place a couple of days ago, any word on things opening back up?

But maybe that just demonstrates that I'm not a "baller" and thus not in their new target market.
In a similar vein, I was following a dancer from Louie's on Instagram and since mid-March she's been promoting some sort of activity organized by a J&J Entertainment at a place called The Chill Spot, 2305 Saint Charles Road in nearby Bellwood. When I look at those posts, some of which includes video footage, it seems like more of a traditional night club experience with some dancers in lingerie or dance outfits getting tipped in one dollar bills, but nothing talking about individual dances:

In the following post there are references to bottle servers--including JoJo from Louie's, bartenders, and dancers--including Winter from Louie's, but again no further details about one-on-one dances:

A visit there would make for an interesting field report. I may very well TOFTT toward the end of this month (either Louie's or The Chill Spot or both).
This whole discussion reminds me of an old Latino club (now closed) that was attached to the Lido Motel in Franklin Park--I had written a brief review over 10 years ago and noted that the dancers basically didn't provide lap dances, but rather regular dances on a dance floor, some of them possibly intimate. At the time of my visit (again in 2010) only one white dancer was on hand who'd provide a lap dance and she seemed as confused about the setup as me. I wonder to what extent some elements of that scenario tie into this new direction. I'm not a fan at this juncture.

Apparently April 9 at 9 pm and April 10 at 8 pm there will be events that use the new format, incorporating bottle service ($250), Vegas bombs ($5), and free cover (I guess for now). The post says you should "dress to impress": so they're definitely trying to attract a different crowd. I also noticed that their Instagram handle has a new suffix that reflects this new emphasis: "louiesloungeclub" rather then just "louieslounge".
Earlier this month, I nearly went to Carl's Bar again and had even got to the point of pulling in their lot when I decided to try something new. Using my handy dandy burner phone, I did some quick research and decided that it'd be better to check out All Star Bar & Grill, 7949 47th Street in McCook, which was not too far from Stone Park (about a 20 minute drive south). I hadn't been to All Star for five or ten years, and I found it to be a pretty solid alternative to the Mannheim scene. Look for my review in the Chicago strip club thread (#2901):
