Strip Club Reports

[DrummerTime56]

Work's brought me to Peoria twice this year. After sampling the local establishments, here's my brief take:

1. Club Cabaret: Hard to get a feel for the vibe on this place. Seems to be the less-attractive dancers end up here, mostly. Dances occur in a common room. No wiff of extras. Pretty dead the two times I was there. Mostly black girls.

2. Big Al's. Big damn open room, good number of dancers, but their vibes can be common hot dancer standoffish RBF sort of thing, from what I've seen. Mix of white, black, and Latinas. With one Asian chick last time I was in town. Seems to get very thug-ish in the early hours with a few folks telling me about fights and other shit going down. YMMV if that's your scene or not. Got L3 extras both times I was there, and the arrangement of the dances happening in separate rooms with closing doors helped facilitate that stuff, I'd imagine.

3. Dixie Rose. Small joint. Reminds me of all the good / dumpy neighborhood joints I've frequented before, just with titties and private dances. The blonde manager / DJ / announcer is a bit of a pain in the ass extra, but everybody seems cool enough. Three dance booths don't even have drapes, so there's logistically no way any funny business in going down back there.

If I was just wanted to get some drinks and dances and take it easy, Dixie Rose would be my joint. If I was looking for extras in a club? Big Al's.

1) CC. Not a lot of eye candy, but there are a couple girls that definitely do extras in VIP rooms. There are some that hint it and don't though. Chanel rocks.

2) Haven't found extras. They are all too afraid of the cameras.

3) Girls are good looking but hardly any working or out. No extras but good dances.

I've gone to all the local club and others in IL, IA and IN. Seriously, What's the point of expensive VIP rooms. I'm getting better dances paying $40 for a couple songs. I've done one at Big Al's and a couple cat C. Cab. They were ok, but what's the point of extra $$ The last girl at CCab was extremely hot, but hardly touched me in her dance. I didn't tip and she was ticked. Tough. It was the worst I've ever had. Then the other girls at those two places all seem ticked off to the world and just didn't want it. I've found that at a ton of other places and just walked out especially when the girls just weren't stripper material. That' and I walk into clubs and Nothing is happening. Yes, the economy is down, but they aren't going to get $ if they don't want it. So, again. My question is why pay an exorbitant amount for a VIP+ room if nothing more happens than a $20-40 couch dance. I don't get it. Right now Dixie Rose is my choice, but I even walked in there with zero girls out doing anything for an hour.

Recently moved to Peoria, figured I'd check out Big Al's since I was passing by on 4th of July.

Upside there were a decent number of attractive talented dancers, downside the only gals really doing dances were less than enthusiastic dancers.

Idk used to be on the east coast and a decent tip at the rail with an invite for a drink would get you a little chit chat and an option to go for a couch dance. Maybe it's different around here.

Lots of upselling over the base dance price just got tiring. By 2 or so most were drunk and hanging out off in the corner haha.

Idk, seems like on the right nice with the right gals could be interesting but otherwise a bit of a let down.

Fortunately cheap drinks and decent food made it worth the stop.

COVID just sped up the process that had already begun well before 2020. Young women that can't make it and be successful online are the ones you see in the clubs now.

Exactly. And today there are many young women who aren't able to get up and dance well enough to enjoy watching in person.

So Memorial day weekend I was in Peoria on Saturday around midnight and was looking forward to going to Big Al's. The first thing I notice is the parking lot was full of cars which is great, ever since they moved to the new building it's always been dead or at least when I was here it was. Then the second thing I notice like a punch to the nose is that it's no longer world famous Big Al's, but a totally different venue, the clientele, staff and entertainment was all Black. I couldn't believe it! As I'm looking around on the 3 stages all I see is 3 horrible looking women, each had to be 40 or more pounds overweight with fat asses of course, all tattooed and so ugly, if it wasn't so disgusting it might have been amusing. Back in the 90's at the old club on a Saturday night you'd have 5 stages going with very attractive women but not any more. I heard they have a new owner who now who lives in Vegas. So I couldn't wait to get out of here, after 15 minutes I left, I'll never come here again.

So I hop in the car and across the river I go, to Club Cabaret, I pull into the lot and see there's just a few cars in the lot. It's dead. So I just turn around and left. The CC was a gold mine back from 96 to 2001 or so and was the place to be. It was always packed and was a lot of fun with some drop dead gorgeous beauties. I really miss those times but anyway the CC has been on a downward spiral for 2 decades. Oh well, nothing lasts forever I guess.

So I'm heading back home by now and think, well, might as well hit the Kappa near Normal since it's right on the interstate, so I did and it wasn't bad. 15 bucks to get in was a lot I thought, Decent crowd, decent dancers but of course all it seemed were tattooed from head to toe, which I just detest. Not a bad place, in the middle of nowhere but if you're in the area, why not.

But I got to say I just can't believe how much things have changed. Years ago this type on entertainment was top notch in central Illinois but not any more. A buddy of mine mentioned that covid messed up everything and many of strippers are online now which makes sense, but what ever you do avoid Big Al's, it is the worst!

Back In The Day. When Bubba was in office, before 9/11, before The War, before the Housing Bubble. When the economy was decent and more of us had a lot of DISPOSABLE INCOME. Big Al's girls were all like Victoria's Secret models. Fit, not a tatt on any of them. Good old days.

* and live streaming services has created a different outlet for the top notch girls who would be your typical dancers to earn significantly more money with significantly more freedom. COVID just sped up the process that had already begun well before 2020. The ones that can't make it and be successful online are the ones you see in the clubs now.

Clubs are either going to have to change the way they do business to attract this talent back or die a slow death.

In business it is change with the times or go out of business.

What happened to the clubs in Peoria? Work used to bring me to town frequently, and I had some great time at Big Al's and Club Cabaret. I would meet the occasional Bradley girl at Big Al's and the quality of dancers was always pretty good. At Club Cabaret, the dancers were not as consistently good as Big Al's, but their best ladies were just as good. And I had good luck with takeout portions from C. C.

With the absence of high quality escort or massage options in the area, I would think the strip clubs would be THE place to go to have some fun with sexy, younger ladies and find company for lonely evenings. But I have been back in the area recently and the strip clubs are a shell of what they were 10-15 years ago. What happened to cause the decline in dancer talent and hookup options?

[Kharon124]

I visited Peoria and had some mixed results at the clubs.

Started out at Dixie Rose. It was pretty dead. Two dancers were sitting at the bar with what seemed like a regular crowd. Got a drink and tipped the bartender a good amount. There wasn't any room at the bar, so I sat at a high top. I watched a football game above the bar, finished my drink, and left. No one got on stage or went to the private dance area while I was there.

Went to Club Cabaret. Also fairly dead. There were two AA dancers -- one chatting with a guy at the bar and another sitting with two guys at a table. The dancer with the two guys took the stage and did a nice pole routine. A guy took her to get a private dance and the other woman was still chatting at the bar. I left.

Undeterred, I want to Big Al's. I think there is usually a cover but they waved me in without requiring one. It was far more lively with a number of dancers taking the stage. Watched a few but didn't know if they were regular dancers or amateurs (it was amateur night). I met a tight AA with a great ass at the rail, tipped her, and asked her to find me after her dance. She gave me two private dances (couch dances are. $25/ song) and was very nice to me. The reviews I have read say that not much happens during private dances The dancers know where the cameras are and it seems like if you're nice, smell good, etc. , more than a simple dance is possible I sat back down and a dancer approached me. We talked about her background and how she won an award at the nudes-a-poppin event. We went back for two private dances. She was more reserved than the AA dancer but I still enjoyed my time with her.

Anyone been to Elliotts or club cabaret recently? For CC better luck in VIP or normal. The times I went was great both areas but it's been awhile and I've heard it's best to go to normal rooms and not VIP rooms for there.

I was at CC last weekend. Wasn't much there that interested me. The one really pretty girl left shortly after I arrived.

I was at Elliot's in Peoria last weekend. It was pretty sparse.

There was a skinny white girl there. She said she was 35, but if so, she's had a very hard 35 years. She easily looked a minimum 10 years older.

She was thin, A-cup (or less, really), not really that attractive. However she was available in the back room for 1.5. I took her back there, FS was offered, and she was grabbing at the package, but I really couldn't muster up any enthusiasm for it. Essentially just had an overpriced long lap dance session, although she was willing for more. However, if you are not picky about looks and just want someone who's a sure thing, she's good to go. PM for name.

Anyone know what time in the day the ladies show up? Might have an afternoon to kill sometime.

[Happy Jack 80]

Don't count on anything at Big Al's.

I know it's not what you're looking for, but they do have a great menu of food. There's an $8 steak dinner and on Sundays beer is 7 cents a draft. That's not a typo. 7 pennies.
