Strip Club Reports

[DrWainwright]

I had the opportunity to stop by this establishment on a Thursday afternoon. Arrived at about 3:30 pm and there was no cover at that time. The club has a large open room and a bar along the far wall. The dancers are on the stage that is surrounded by the bar. There is a lap dance area to the right side and the VIP areas are upstairs.

I was driving and so did not purchase any drinks. There was no pressure to even purchase a water. The girls were actually quite attractive -- there was a slender Asian spinner on the stage when I got in and she had some definite dancing skills. I was sitting along along the bar and watching the show. There were some patrons and dancers sort of sitting around talking (probably regulars with the dancers). A curvy latin appearing woman came up, sort of brushed her hand over my back and then walked right over to a middle aged black man (perhaps she had an appointment? They disappeared into the Lapdance area and I didn't see her again.

Too bad it had to cost so much, though. Hopefully, the way that all went down wasn't contrived in any way -- but that's probably a product of my being more and more jaded about all of these places (SCs) lately. Not long ago, I stopped by a club that I have been patronizing for many years now. After surveying the talent, both looks-wise and service-wise, I decided on a lap dance with an old reliable. Pay the house and tip the room monitor as well, pay the dancer her tip and she proceeds to provide service as expected; However, about 5 minutes in the room monitor pops in and warns the girl that the owner is in his office watching the cameras. At this point, the dancer says that we should adjourn to the club's champagne room, which also has cameras BTW, but, according to her, aren't monitored as closely. So, now I am facing another house fee (much larger than the fee for the lap dance room), but am worked up at this point, so initially I tell her I need to go to the ATM. As I am standing there, thinking about what this all is going to cost me, the big head takes over and I make an excuse that the ATM won't work for me, and I bail. Haven't been back there since and I can't help but wonder if that whole chain of events was planned that way, because I have little doubt that I would have been out not only the HF for the champagne room, but another tip as well.

Whay say ye all? Do you think I am onto something here? LD. Did you get the same vibe at all after your experience? I guess I am thinking that maybe some clubs are working these kinds of arrangements to make up all of the money lost during the lockdowns.

A curvy latin appearing woman came up, sort of brushed her hand over my back and then walked right over to a middle aged black man (perhaps she had an appointment? They disappeared into the Lapdance area and I didn't see her again.

Then, a very fit and attractive young dancer came up and starting talking. She said her name was V_ and that she was a student at Drexel and was trying to make money to pay her tuition. She was quite fit, and quite handsy, and was whispering in my ear all sorts of nice extras she was willing to do for me upstairs in the VIP. She got me going enough to agree to her offer and off we went. It was $220 to the attendant upstairs and we were in a large room with a couch -- no one else was up there. She then proceeded to slowly stretch out the 30 minute dance wherein she technically did all of the extras she promised -- but all activities were done very briefly and certainly did not release any tension whatsoever. It was my first experience with this type of "ROB" -- and, truthfully speaking, she technically kept her word. At the 30 minute time, she jumped up and just left me, literally, hanging in the wind.

So, as I put myself together and made my way out from the couch area, I ran into the Asian girl who I had seen dancing on the stage. She was very friendly and asked who I had danced with. When I told her the name of the first girl, she said, "Oh, well you're probably not satisfied -- would you like a dance with me?" The fact that she was spot on and that I saw her alluring stage show made me decide "what the hell" and paid the VIP guy another $220. This time, the Asian girl did everything she said she would and I had a nice time.

Thus, an interesting learning experience (that wasn't cheap) occurred. This club seems to be worth a shot but I suppose it depends upon the girl you select.

Went for a visit this past Sunday. Vibe was very chill. A few girls called out so only three were working. 4-5 patrons and this was shortly after opening12 noon ish. Despite the curtains as mentioned a full menu was on the table. It's business as usual al the Raven. There is no bouncer and the couch is set back enough so unless you're doing back flips, no one will notice or cares what your doing. Left happy. Will be back.

Can you PM some details, costs
. Headed there this week and want to be on the look out for the right one. Thanks.

I was there 2 days ago. They did take the curtains down to the regular privates due to some of the girls complaining about other dancers doing extras. I was told they are going back up very shortly. Also the 15 minute and 30 minute booths still have curtains, so there's that.

Was there recently. They now have curtains on the regular booths, but they're so thin that you can see through them so I doubt anything has changed.

Sometimes their schedule shows an Athena. Is that the same dancer from BP?

Sadly no. She is retired now.

Thanks for clarifying the curtains issue. I haven't been there since 3 weeks ago. Flava is a prude.

Place is definitely back. Early reviews on other forums seem to be mixed at this point.

The good news is that the place has been renovated apparently and has a Facebook page (The Raven) that seems to be updated regularly, including dancer schedules.

The not-so-good news, from what I've seen, is that the set up for VIP is not the same as in past years. Last I saw, it sounded like the barriers, whatever they were (doors, curtains, etc.), between the rooms and the stage area had been removed completely, so it doesn't sound like there is much to be had in that regard right now.

If I am way wrong here, please correct me, as I have not personally been in since the re-opening.

Anyone have anything further to report on the good old RR? Heard in the forum they are back. Heading that way this weekend and was thinking about stopping by for a beer.

Has anybody been to Just Enuff in Bridgeport lately? Is there any action worth going?? Extras??

[TotalAssman68]

Gentlemen your favorite place is back and open for business. Went in last week and they were open but waiting to have the license delivered that day. Seems like might be business as usual. New layout. One heavyset AA dancer asked me if I wanted to have some fun, while rubbing junior at the bar. She told me that for 4. I would have a great time. I politely said NO. She said she had been working at another club but didn't like it. The older white dancer was looking good as well. Go have fun guys.
