Strip Club Reports

Here's another article from the past:

My understanding is the Chameleon Club started as a private club with girls available to keep you company. The original owner was hooked into Washington Park politics and owned a towing company that got all of the city's towing business. This is before my time, so I'm going on what others have told me over the years and some previous articles. The club was private and there wasn't topless striping but the girls would dance some. The guys bought the girls drinks and tipped them for their company. If you liked a girl enough you'd pay the bar a "towel fee" of like $25 and that got you a towel and entrance to the back room. The backroom had a hot tub, glass shower, and couches. You basically negotiated your deal with the girl and took her back there for the fun. I remember someone mentioning a bedroom off to the side being available as well and in later years I remember taking a girl into a side room. By the time I started stopping in at the club the front end was pretty run down and you basically paid the bar for some time in the backroom with a gal on a nasty old couch at the far end behind a screen. I remember late one night a dancer turned on the full lights in the back room and with the place lit up it was like we had stepped back in time. I don't know if it is true or not, but one older guy told me that back in the day it was fairly common for more than one paired up couple to be in the backroom at the same time. You could enjoy the hot job, play around with the girl, and use a small bar that was back there. I always wondered about the glass block shower. It was there in the backroom but not sure if girls used to put on shows in it or what. Or maybe you were suppose to shower before getting into the hot tub. I'm guessing they weren't all that
worried about Legionnaire's disease or stuff like that back then.

That's close to what I heard about the club. I was told by a couple of people that the owner was in jail for selling drugs and the club did not have any kind of operating licenses. The best part of the club was no cover or drink minimum. I would go in and look around at what was working, if there was one that looked good, I would get a drink and get her in the backroom. I had a few girls there that were really good looking. The best looking one I had there was the owner's 20-year-old girl friend. It was a dump but. Was great for hookups. It was 25 to the bar and around 100 for the girl and was timed by the bartender.

Thank you all for the trip down memory lane. My first club experience was at Main Street when it was near the Congress Inn with Humphry behind the bar. Being Missouri it was a "bikini" club. A buddy took me to the Rose in ESL. That was a wild place in the mid 80's. FIV was normal. There was one girl offering samples of momma milk. They closed down after a shooting on the parking lot.

Was Paradise across the street from Roxy's? I was a fan of both.

My bachelor party was at the Red Garter. I never went to the upstairs or basement areas. I was young and broke.

The French Quarter was down the road from the prison. Hand job stage side was pretty normal. Eventually they lost their liquor license and then things got really wild. They burned down. I remember there being several houses with women hanging out on the porch as I drove there. I never stopped.

Thanks again.

Another Brooklyn club was Fantasyland, I think that was the name. Pretty big club that sat along Rt 3, it was vacant for years after the federal busts of the massage parlor and clubs and eventually was burnt down.

When that club was open there was a little 5'1" dancer there that I used to do take out all the time with. All it cost me each time was weed and she was good to go for hours at my place. She was super high maintenance though, and after a while I just got tired of it. This was back in the days of pagers and if I didn't call her back in like 30 min of her paging me, she was busy for the night and who knows when I might hear from her again. But the sex was worth the pain in the ass. When I first met her she was 18 and had endless energy.

I was exchanging history with another member by PM on the strip clubs, we both started reminiscing of memories past. I hope some of the older members may be able to help, can anyone recall prior too 1980 ??

Roxy's. My first trip as a 20 yr old. Taken by my older brother & his friend, 1981. This is before the boom in video porn (VCR just beginning), and MTV. The strip club industry explodes in the mid '80 . Or maybe its because I'm of that age during this time (Paradise Club became Platinum Club) that was fun! The small place down the street from Roxy's, a bar and one stage only. That had an S&M room in the basement?? I know the last detail because it got busted and made the PD (the gossip follwed). This is pre internet age, so likely not on google. I never visited the "black" clubs in this city, but my co workers & others filled me in.

Centerville PTs was the 2nd place I attended in those early days. Later on Paradise II was behind it. Centerville had another place owned by Venezia right across the train tracks? I can recall the small PT's dance floor, behind the bar between two stages. This was for the SAT CPLS night (no upper private area / dance floor existed yet). Too many stories on this place.

Cmoes Key Club. Would eventually become Main Street. Wild memories.

The THINGS we did as younger men (I've no regrets). Fortunately no dangerous experiences for myself, but I heard of a few from dancers over time.

PTs and Penthouse. Sauget.

Dollies, Miss Kitties, Cmowes and others in Washington Park. I can't recall the name of the small club across the highway, down the road from the Correctional Facility.

Too many fun memories to post, and many strange viewings also over the decades. Seeing dancers drunk or coked up, etc. The drama at times. This is before reality TV.

Can anyone fill in the names of other clubs I missed from pre 1980 or years after?

Older & wiser, plus the negative reviews I see now. I wouldn't even drive thru these locales after dark.

The last time I went to the Red Garter, one of the dancers greeted me as soon as I got inside. She put her hand inside my pants and took hold of me, and literally led me to a guy that collected a $5 cover charge. She never let go of me while I was paying and she led me to the stage. On the way their I negotiated with her for a HJ from the stage for $20. She took care of me, and had I not been super horny I don't think I would have achieved blast off with people watching me from the other side of the room. Fortunately, I was the only one at the stage and it didn't take long. I miss those days.

The Club down the street from Roxys with the S&M dungeon was The Red Garter. It had a massage parlor upstairs called Above the Garter. I visited the Strip club and parlor a few times, never saw the S&M dungeon since that wasn't my thing. I stuck mostly to Roxys and The Free Spirit Massage Roxys always had great looking girls and Free Spirit was like a candy store.

Chameleon Club was my favorite. Basically no dancing. Just a House of Ill Repute. Then they had to go and burn it down. Oh well.

Yes, basically a brothel w a stage. They had the back room, a large hot tub. And the "limo rides" for one hour with the dancer of your choosing. French Quarter was the other club name I forgot. 👍.

Pretty sure the French Quarter was the name of the club south of 64 and east of 111. Went there many times before it burned down. Many good times there in my younger days.

Good selection at Hustle, did a couple of dances but nothing special. Was asked if I wanted a room but the prices were outrageous 1. 2 k for the cheapest room WTF.

[TeamPlayer17]

Meet her for a brief 15 minute private. She was very aggressive. Does anyone know if she does OTC or BBBJ or even FS? Any reports appreciated. I think her name was Sabrina?

[TeamPlayer17]

Anyone have a report on her? Only had a little time back with her. Had to leave. She was very aggressive. Anyone know if she offers OTC BBBJ OR FS? Anyone hung out with her? Would love any info. 5'9 blonde. Does she have any other names?
