Strip Club Reports

[QUOTE=Scotty123;2423440]Went here last night with a friend and we didn't even know this place existed.

It opened on Thursday and its beautiful on the inside but expensive as heck. $20 cover charge, $35 for 2 mixed.

Drinks, $17 For 2 beers. Place is really nice inside and is owned by the same person that has a club in Miami like this.

All the girls were 9's and 10's. You could tell they weren't local talent. They all flew in for the first weekend to help open it up. Will be interesting to see how the talent is in few months. Security guards in suits and eat pieces everywhere. Really official. Not a place I can see anything happening in the back. Quoted $150 3 songs full nude with friction. Decided to pass on that after being down $100 on cover and few rounds of drinks. Great layout and huge TVs and ladies were all gorgeous. Most were from Ukraine and Russia via Miami. Hope someone has a good time and can report back some good intel.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the intel. I, like I assume many, will never set a foot in this place unless their price structure changes. I can go look at eye candy and spend $9/ beer at Centerfolds in Boston, snoozefest. Imagine how ridiculous it'll look when there are 5-7 level locals working there. No thanks, I'll pass and I never had to set foot in the place or shell out $20.

I was skeptical at first too but Wonderland does exist. Its right next to Wild Zebra. I have no idea why everyone has been talking about Wild Zebra and no mention of Wonderland when Wonderland is really something possibly special. The girls were HOT. Who knows If that will last however. Dress code is strict. I had taken off my collar shirt and jacket before arriving so I could be comfortable because I hate restricting clothes like that and couldn't get in until I changed myself. I went pretty early so no cover charge. Lots of security but all the workers very friendly and its a really upscale place. They are a 'concept' from Miami. And if you search right you can get results on google. Try wonderland Allen's ave and check put wonderland ri on the book of face. I got a dance from a girl for 30. There are different levels of dances some 40 some 50. The owner told me they have VIP experiences for $1600. Yeah right. Anyway the girl said it was her second day they just opened three days ago and she herself didn't quite seem to know how it all worked. However I left after a good dance and a drink. Decent roaming and a lot of friction. They are very nice and its a sweet club. All the decorations are real nice lots of tvs and friendly people once you're wearing the right clothes. Hottest girls I've seen up here hopefully that will last.

Oh and drink prices are steep. It was $6 for my coke. I don't drink alcohol.

Not enough demand for the crazy prices. If they keep these girls around for a while, it will hands down have the hottest girls within Boston and New York City.

Would be interested to see if any extra curricular activities are possible here months down the line, but I haven't seen security at a club like this since going to some places in Chicago or Miami. Went to Desires after this place on Thursday night and the girls went from 9/10 to 5/6 real quick. At least beers at desires are $5 not $8 and they got those great cards going $20 for $25 card.

Wonderland probably appeals to a different client base than the other clubs. Some people will pay $40 for a lap dance and $1000 for the Champagne Room. A stripper will only need to do 1 CR at $1000 vs 7 at $150 to make the same money. The dress code thing is a way to bring a sense of elitism to the place. Do you need a jacket and dress pants, or will jeans and a button down shirt get you in the door?

Is Wonderland and Zebra owned by the same people?

I had time to kill Thursday afternoon, so I went to Wild Zebra around 4:00. Of the seven or eight dancers, there were two or three from whom I would have not accepted a free lap dance, and a couple who were closer to my type. The rest were unmemorable. I found it very hard to get rid of cash: No cover (before 6:00 PM) Drinks around $5. 00, Not much point in stage tipping, and no lap dance offers. I'm not sure whether they have a "Don't hassle the customers" policy, or whether for some reason I didn't look like a good prospect, bu I was pretty much left to myself.

I eventually asked a Cape Verdian about the price structure. It was her fist day at this cub -- maybe anywhere -- and she was pretty vague: "$10 to the house, and whatever you want to me. " We narrowed this down to "$20 or $30" and I paid the house fee. The lap dance area is the old Godiva room. And as far as I know, I was the only person there during a 90 minute period, so in that sense it was completely private. There are two spots that are about as private as the chairs along the wall at CF. In the rest of the room, you get about as much privacy as you would if you were on the stage. I gave the dancer two twenties, and told her to tell me when it was used up. I never pay in advance, but it worked out well in this case. The bouncer wandered by a couple of times, but it was otherwise your basic Providence lap dance.

For me, there's not enough here to justify a trip from Boston, but if I'm in Providence for another reason (CD) and want a place where I can spend time and not money, I'll probably go back. On the other hand, I don't see how they can long stay in business on a model that involves the kind of cash flow I saw while I was there. As far as I can tell, the entire club made less in the 90 minutes that I was there than CD makes in 10 minutes. Cheaters always occupied the bottom of the barrel, and maybe this price structure is intended to perpetuate that memory.

Decent crowd at WZ tonight, at least considering they haven't been advertising. It's definitely a 'soft' rollout as the main stage and main part of the club wasn't open.

The bar is open (same location in Cheaters though slightly different layout) and the 'back room' (the old Godiva Room) was open and that's it. Upstairs was closed too. The backroom has it's own stage in the back corner which is about the size of the main stage at Desires and it has a freestanding pol, but it's tucked in the back corner and has stairs on one of the 2 non-wall sides so there's only room for like 4 or 5 guys to sit in front of the stage. The LD area is located in back of what used to be the 'stage' of the Godiva Room they must have knocked a wall out. LD area has higher walls than those restaurant booths at Fantasies, but visibility into the area from the club floor is similar to Fantasies, there's even one couch that faces the opening to the LD area if you are sitting there you have to make an effort not to watch the LDs.

Saw a few familiar faces in the dancer pool but not sure which club I remember them from. "Candy" thin red-blonde haired girl in her mid 20's, Vivian (knockout red-haird tall spinner) and another white girl with an odd voice, I think she might be a Cheater's alum but I didn't talk to her.

Lots of dancers, I'd guess maybe 20. Some of the dancers appeared to be new to dancing and workign in strip clubs (and looked young). There were two who were apparently on the buddy syustem I didn't see them apart the whole time I was there and the only time I saw either of them gi in to the LD area they both went in with 2 guys together.

Differences I noticed between WZ and Cheaters:

The Waitstaff and Bartenders are no longer the hottest women in the club (by far). You could take this to mean the dancers are hotter or the waitstaff / bartenders aren't as hot, in this case both interpretations would be correct.

The place is completely renovated so is clean, but people are already aparently pissing on the floor in the men's room so we'; ll see how long that lasts.

Dancers are much better looking, average maybe 6 instead of Cheaters average of 4. Still more than a handful of older and or high mileage dancers who would have been above average at Cheaters but are below the average curve at WZ. While Cheaters usually had one or two reasonably attractive dancers and on a good night maybe 4-5+ there at least double that many attractive dancers at WZ tonight, off the top of my head I remember a couple of hot hispanic looking dancers, one curvy asian girl and a handful of medium height to tall white spinners who were hot but muyst either be anorexic or on coke. Didn't appear to be much if any silicon or if there was it wasn't obvious.

LD areas were heavily monitored. More then once during every dance one of the bouncers walked in and looked around.

Security was serious, and maybe because they are being overly cautious to avoid any problems with LE but looks and attitude wise I was piucking up a kind of 1908's Federal Hill wise guy kind of vibe.

A half hour after I got there a couple of police officers came in, one was still there when I left 40+ minutes later.

For those who are wary of the ID scanning machines, Wild Zebra is using one.

[QUOTE=TheGame05;2432359]For those who are wary of the ID scanning machines, Wild Zebra is using one.[/QUOTE]One of the few trusted sources on the scl site said they were not using one, at least for him, last night. A lot of complaints about them may have sent a hint. I wouldn't mind checking the place out if they are not scanning.

[QUOTE=TheGame05;2432359]For those who are wary of the ID scanning machines, Wild Zebra is using one.[/QUOTE]I've been twice and wasn't carded either time so it might depend on your age / how you are dressed. Both visits were this weekend one at night (busy) one during the day (ghost town).

I am clearly not anywhere near cardable age and for attire I guess you could call what I was wearing business casual. During the day I did see them card a couple of guys who came in after me who looked to be in their 20's and were dressed more 'street'.

Making the rounds yesterday afternoon stopped by WZ and shit what a contrast between Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Saturday afternoon it was a ghost town there were less than 10 guys there, 1 bartender 2 security and I counted I think 4 dancers and I wouldn't have been surprised to see any of the dancers working at the old Cheaters. They would have been maybe a six or seven on the Cheaters scale but maybe a four on a Desire or FL scale.

I know WZ is new but I can't figure this place out yet, Friday is was testosterone goodfellas security some really hot dancers and the main stage -room was closed (on a fridayt night!) with everyone packed into the back room, and on Saturday the vibe was completely different with mellow friendly security a hot friendly bartender average-at-best dancers (unless you like them large) and only the main stage was open.

[QUOTE=TheGame05;2432359]For those who are wary of the ID scanning machines, Wild Zebra is using one.[/QUOTE]Just curious. Why is having your I'd scanned such a big deal? I can think of my own concerns but they are not that monumental, more "worst case scenario" or "paranoia" type reasons. Is there something I'm missing?
