Strip Club Reports

Anyone been here lately? WTF happened to this place? They used to have occasionally impressive talent, popped in a few weeks ago on a Saturday and it was dead, talent was overweight and only paying attention to the fat old regulars that were sitting at the bar. I don't think I even finished my beer before walking out.

Went there once, ran out of there within 3 minutes. Will never go back!

The only J's that I know of is the bar on Mannheim just before the mini mall in Melrose Park. If that's the one that you're referring to, it's a decent place and it has hot-looking women from time to time.

But beware some will try to charge as much as $30 per dance promising hands roaming etc but it turns out to just be a standard lap dance, nothing special. I prefer J's to other bars in the area like Carl's and Bobby's, though.

Yeah the Vegas forum is really helpful. Lots of good info on there from the casino girls and "The Look" they give thread to rip off joints to avoid to the best strip bars to hit. Definitely worth the time to read before heading out there and be prepared to tip everyone well.

Came back mid Jan. After 2 weeks of looking around. The whole place is based on coin! Yes sir this and yes sir that as long as you have cash to drop! Did see one hot euro casino girl wandering around near the linq as well as 2 SW's on boulder. I would say out there it is blatant, however with mandalay bay and all security was amped up. There are mall cops and rent a cops as well as metro cruisers everywhere the tourista is. Now in the hoods where the homeless stay north of downtown one can hardly see one, however if one plays out there please do it carefully. They have a mobile courthouse right near the strip!

I'm local to the area. Here's my experience.

390: lap dances are full contact. Extras can be had in the VIP, but you're looking at a bare minimum of $3. For 15 minutes for a CBJ. Not worth it unless you really want to have a particular provider (some of them are crazy-hot, even on the afternoon shift). It's not in a bad area and you don't need to drive through one to get there from the interstate. Cover was. 1 and regular dances. 2 a song.

Atlantis: full contact dances. Never been offered extras, but I suspect they're available. Dancers are hit or miss. In a bad area, but directly accessible from interstate exit so it shouldn't matter.

Fantasy: guaranteed extras. Day shift is best (1-7, but get there around 3 so all dancers are present and not worn out). No cover on day shift. Everything from CBJ to BBBJ to CFS. Night shift extras are available but more expensive ($1. 25 for 15 minutes, bouncer will want a tip, dancers will want a minimum of 1. Tip for anything). Dances during the day are either 1. 25 for 15 min or. 3 per song, but the girl might comp your time out of her tip. I've got BBBJ to completion in 5 min for 1. All said and done.

Agree the Vegas and chitown people really have been helpful in guiding one through the issues. Vegas is all about cash so bring plenty but saw some interesting sights.

Ok I never post but I saw this and had to.

1. Haven't been to HB as I heard it's crap. Keeping your hands on the girls waist in not full contact.

2. I've been offered take out (expensive) at Scores during the day. With a minority of the girls, but it's there.

3. Yea Chicago Heights is a bad area, but you don't have to go through a bad area to get to 390 or Atlantis.

4. 2-3 weeks ago I went to 390 at noon on a Wed. Talent wasn't the best, and I'm far from a pro at this, but a solid 7/8 was giving me VERY good attention the second we sat down. Got the feeling this was available with a few other girls on day shift.

5. Night shift at 390 is more hit / miss but the menu is also open with the right girl and you do not get bothered in the VIP.

6. Haven't been to Atlantis in a while but also very open girls.

Only thing that's accurate is that all this sht is expensive in Chicago. But if you have $$, it's all available.

My post is accurate. Full contact lap dances means the dancer grinds on your lap. As opposed to when they dance a few feet away from you. There is no partial contact lap dance (well to me at least- the gal either grinds on your lap or she doesn't) so I mentioned keeping the hands on the waist so he doesn't get kicked out. I've gone to places like The Admiral where it's an air dance- those are awful. No FS meant for the club I mentioned. Does it happen at HB's? Not that I know of. Does it happen at other clubs you mentioned- how would I know? I don't go to them. I'm not interested in traveling that far for a strip club- especially expensive ones. Not hating on Chicago Hts- I'm sure there are cool people that live there- just letting an out-of-towner, unfamiliar with the area, know to be careful. It's his call whether he wants to go there or not. That's what this board is for to contribute where you can.

The only club I've been to in the daytime has been Heavenly Bodies- mainly because it's the closest and most affordable although even that is changing for the worse. A few years ago they had some really hot gals- not sure how the talent is now. I know most of those gals left. It's a bikini club but they go topless in private dances, dances are 2-25 or 5-50. Full contact lap dances (some gals give better dances than others), but you have to keep your hands on their waist otherwise you'll get bounced out of there. Not sure what the Champagne Room costs- seems like a ripoff. No extras happening there that I know of. They raised the cover charge to 20 which is ridiculous and why I haven't gone in awhile. Beers are cheap- bottles are like 1. 50. They have food like free pizza but I wouldn't eat anything there. It's not exactly the cleanest place on the planet. The crowd is a mix of white collar and blue collar workers. Daytime is pretty relaxed- less customers and less dancers. They have only one gal on stage in the day shift. It's still more affordable than Vegas clubs like Rhino- but if money is no object few clubs are as awesome as Spearmint Rhino. Wall to wall gorgeous women- at least on weekend nights. Unfortunately money is an object so I can only do that once in a while on a rare vacation.

Went to The Admiral like 20 years ago- strictly air dances which were terrible. I like full contact lap dances otherwise there's no point for me to even go and waste my time. So I avoid that place.

Not sure about the South Side clubs but Chicago Heights & Harvey are not the best areas - you don't want to go through either of those late at night. I'd avoid.

Summary- Chicago's strip club scene is awful. Most of the clubs are more expensive and not worth it. See the reviews below- $30 lap dance prices at some of the clubs is ridiculous in this area. If you're looking to kill some time & just look I guess it's passable. Probably better to get a massage or if you want FS see a well reviewed provider. Note- I emphasize well reviewed provider. Chicago is notorious for running stings on sites like backpage because the powers that be have nothing better to do with our tax money. Be careful.

PS- Also want to say thanks to Vegas friends like yourself for contributing to the forum. It helped me avoid getting ripped off by doing some research on here before I take a trip out there. (for ex cabbies trying to take me to clip joints masquerading as massage parlors late at night in order to get a cut) Figured I'd return the favor to help out. That's why I love this site and what it's all about. Good luck man!

Thanks for the heads up and info. Sounds like a hard pass on expecting anything from the clubs. Will definitely be on the lookout for uncle LEO and stick to the well reviewed if I go that way. Glad we in Vegas could help you out.

Good Morning all. I will be in your fair city in a few weeks and wondering if there was a club that was worth visiting during the day?

Your expectations would have to be low, particularly in the city itself. I almost would rather just spend the day at a Hooters or some such. Maybe someone can chime in with their favorite daytime club but we don't have a good strip club scene here relative to other places.

[Dbiz01]

Yes, it was $30 for one private nude dance OR $20 topless. I've also been to Polekatz in Bridgeview (tons of hot women, sometimes 75-100 women working on weekends) - same pricing except Polekatz has happy hour 4 pm - 7 pm Monday. Friday $10 topless dances, $20 nude.

But I can't believe with all those chicks working on the same night, they make any cash w / o charging for extras. And I speak of reasonably priced extras, not those at $300+.

You're better off getting an escort at that price.
