Strip Club Reports

I posted on here a few weeks ago asking if anyone was down to go to the block. Ended up going alone. Started with K&D, place was nice girls were pretty but lighting was brighter than the M&T stadium so I left. Went into the hole in the wall Diving Horse because I've heard many high milage stories about this club. Wasnt too many girls in there, but the fe that were were average and a few above average. $20 dance with fine ass Ebony, wanted FS in club but I declined. Agreed for takeout for .00. Thought I saved her number but realized I didn't when I went out to call her. Was lucky enough to start a conversation with another dancer and offered to take her home. Ended up getting a free HJ in the car and met her the next day for FS for .8 at my place. We were at it for maybe 2 hr with multiple shots. Super fun, super cute unfortunately she never gave me her stripper name and I never asked. But I'll tell you this, there were numerous patrons scoring FS takeouts left and right. Put this spot on your radar, just don't go with lofty expectations.

Meeting the stripper in 30 minutes for FS .50.

Deets after the deed.

I'm thinking about being a more active participant in Block activities and need some guidance. What's the protocol for tipping after a lap dance in Baltimore? Is there a standard amount or percent? In Ohio the dancers get 60% of whatever the customer spends on her – drinks, dances, etc. That doesn't appear to be the case in Baltimore. Consequently, dancers are high pressure for tips? If the lap dance is $80 and the service is excellent, what's the norm? I've RTFF but am still unclear. Help would be appreciated.

Help would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]Last time a girl talked to me about details, The Block standard was that the girl gets $7 of every $20 (worth of) dancer drinks / lapdances. *IF* she makes her 3 drink minimum.

As to tips for simple lap dances. . . Some clubs think they're swanky, and try to set high standards for the tips. Some girls think they are classy and 'above that', and demand a lot for practically nothing. Some girls are happy to be making money doing something other than "you want fries?" Consequently plain lap dance tips range from $20 to equal to whatever the club charged for the lap dance. As with everything else on The Block, it depends on the club, the girl, and how business has been lately.

Greater services vary even more, ask the girl what she wants you to tip her if you get a bottle, but don't hesitate to say "nevermind" if she gets greedy. Keeping in mind the high degree of variability I've found in-club fun generally requires (bottle price + 10 to 20% for the bartender + 25-50% for the girl) I've also had girls decline a separate tip if I buy a bottle, because they're tired and want to skip their turn on stage. Pretty much everything is negotiable, from the bottle price to the bartender's tip to the girl's tip. Bottle prices are the least likely to change from the amounts posted on signs. You can often skip the bartender tip, but that insures they will knock on the door the minute 'time is up' (plus their watch is likely to be running fast). A reasonable tip generally means you'll have all the time you need (within reason).

Deets after the deed.[/QUOTE]Is the Diving Horse a "Block" bar? Are you talking about the bar on the side street? I assume they are only open starting at 8:00 (2nd shift). Every time I go by there (first shift) it's closed.

Thanks for the information and stay safe.

She will also try and negotiate money based on what she wants to get from you. It's also based on what the dance cost you and at what bar. The Hustler has $15 dances and depending on what she has done for me, I could tip her another $15 or as little as $5. (just hand her the 20).

Every club, every girl, every shift will get you a different answer and experience.

Sorry, I know that wasn't any help. You just need to try as you go.

Stay safe and enjoy your new participation level.

Jim.

The Red Room price will vary based on how the bar did during a shift and how close to the end of the shift it is. It also varies based on the girl and bartender. I think they work it out ahead of time about how much their cut will be.

Know your financial limits, set your expecations, stay safe, have fun and enjoy the journey.

Can anybody guide me to a list of clubs that might provide take out or a list of clubs that doesn't get that much traffic? I plan on visiting your fine city tomorrow night but I more than likely I won't be able to finish the entire thread by then. Any help would be appreciated.

The Block has ( counts fingers from memory...) 17 clubs. The names have changed over the years, so I still think of some of them by names they haven't used in a decade.

Make the rounds - walk in, look around, and walk out of each one.
If you see someone amazing stop, but generally I visit them all and end up with a mental A, B and C list, based on the girls I saw at the bar/on stage.

I then go back and visit the 'good' ones working through the A list and B list until I find what I want. Frequently if I get down to the C list, I call it a night.

An exception is the couple of clubs that are reliable and tend to have girls stick around long enough that a familiar face will be working. I skip the check in for those places because the whole mutual recognition thing means I'm rarely 'allowed' to leave. OTOH it is nice to have a couple of places that can be considered a 'sure thing'. (No point in being specific, the sureness is a product of the fact I've been visiting The Block for 20+ years, and some of the bartenders/managers/doormen, have been there that long as well and let the girls know I'm "OK". Once I had about 4 reliable places, I'm down to 1 1/2.)

As a general guideline, the clubs that want to be fancy-smancy "Gentleman's Clubs" tend to be money vacuums, you end up with a wallet picked clean and that's about it. The dirtiest, dingiest, and darkest clubs tend to be that way because they understand no one is there to look at what is on the stage, much less the decor - these places the girls rarely and barely dance - they would rather hit you up for a bottle almost as soon as you come in the door. In the middle are the best bets, but what is available changes from shift to shift - it depends on the bartender, which girls are working, how recently the liquor board has visited, and how uptight the walking police patrols have been. That said the Pussycat is usually crowded, it seems to be everyone's favorite, and there are reasons for that. Since the Plaza burned (formerly one of the dingiest and therefore a sure thing), I've generally found I have the best luck on the south side of the street, to refine that a little more, places with stairs seem to bring me more luck than those without.

If you've not been there before, a visit to the 2 O'clock club is in order, just for the history. Until 10 or so years ago the building was still owned by Blaze Starr (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaze_Starr). Unless they re-did it since it changed hands it was one of the last clubs to still show signs of the days when the clubs were burlesque palaces, a real stage, space for a live band, etc. I think the last time I was up there the new management wanted a cover charge - I don't pay cover with a dozen other choices a few steps away, and the glimpse of history is probably not worth a cover charge, but worth checking otherwise.


I rarely visit the clubs beyond The Block, because I've rarely found anything more than a tease available elsewhere ( at least since the Spectrum closed ).

[/QUOTE]What I find somewhat surprising is that when business is bad, rather than reducing prices to draw customers away from other clubs and / or make sure they get some money for the shift rather than going home empty handed, the girls instead conclude "I'm having a bad night and haven't made much money, I need to make it up all at once with the next customer." So if you end up visiting at the end of an slow shift, you get quoted prices that are obviously the amount the girl expected to make for the entire night.

It was really slow and when I did find a SW, she wanted double the usual tuition because there were fewer coeds out that night. Not my logic, but in a want it made sense. Did I mention I was also in need of tutoring in the worst way.

Thanks for the quick turn around! I don't know how long I will have to visit but I'll try to hit as many clubs as possible. Thank you!

(grumble. And a contractor, so no back pay either. Ergo no play funds this month).

Funny thing recently I was at EI in the DC board, and it was Friday evening the place was packed with 30 guys and 20 girls and I was offered $20 for the 3 song VIP room, plus tip. I was pleasantly surprised... I guess because the place was packed she assumed I had other options and offered a good deal...

Back then a bottle would go from anywhere to $80 to $100 or sometimes more and that would include the tip to the girl and the bartender hook up but all you had to know was the art of negoiation as I call it now we talking like late 80's to mid 90's to me it was a litttle easier than it is today but I rarely go down the block now any way because I feel that it's a waste of timie unless you can scor take-out.
