Strip Club Reports

[QUOTE=BbbjFanatic;5090807]It seems Bottoms Up is closed, for good. For sale sign is up.[/QUOTE]Well fuck, there goes any reason to venture over to NJ when I get back to NYC. This year, is undoubtedly, the worst.

NB.

I am not sure if this place was ever considered a "strip club" or not. I happened to walk past it yesterday and it looks like a typical dive bar on the outside, so I walked in. There was a stage area in the center indicating they probably danced or stripped here at one time. Not sure if there was no dancing because of COVID or if they stopped being a strip club years ago. The girls working were fairly attractive. There were two very dark skinned servers (they looked dominican) and one very attractive light skin Brazillian waitress. They were dressed very conservatively though. At first I thought it was still a cool place to have a beer in the company of some attractive women, but then I noticed their scam. My server was constantly asking me to buy her a drink. I was having a beer and finally agreed to buy her one too, thinking she would at least sit with me and chat for a while. Nope! She just charged me $10 for her shot, thanked me and walked away. Even when I was leaving, I nodded towards her and she totally ignored me. Therefore I won't be back.

Can anyone recommend a better strip club or bar in Ironbound area where I could get more bang for my buck?

[QUOTE=Rstro011;5182499]So where was this place?[/QUOTE]I might have spelled the name wrong. I have also seen it spelled Emmigrante. It is open and located on Wilson Avenue in Ironbound Newark.

There are other strip clubs I noticed in that area of Newark called Aprils and George and I. Not sure if they are opened though.

[QUOTE=TooLong;5183117]Its a strip club, usually has older (mid 30's) dancers.[/QUOTE]They sure as hell aren't stripping there anymore. Just a bar with female servers begging you to buy them drinks for nothing in retur.

The real question is going to be, how many of these strip clubs are going to be back after this pandemic? Most closed because they lost business because of the curfew during the pandemic and lost a lot of money during that time.

How many of these places that closed will reopen again?

We really can not say these places are reopening because towns are glad they closed because they can put something else in that area instead. To the community a strip club could be a eye sore and can not do anything about it until now. It has happened before in Harrison, NJ they had two strip bars and once they closed the town made sure not to reopen it ever again.

Any news about Vics or Paradizio in Irvington. Are they open??

[QUOTE=Mufasa1;5184583]Any news about Vics or Paradizio in Irvington. Are they open??[/QUOTE]Recent reviews on other sites indicate Vics is still open. I'd like to head over there again, but as a white guy I really stand out in that area.

I believe that Breathless is still open as well.

[QUOTE=Mufasa1;5184583]Any news about Vics or Paradizio in Irvington. Are they open??[/QUOTE]Most clubs will not open, Bottoms Up closed permanently, Paradizio is closed for now, vics is still open, overcrowded and horrible selection, I went one time and I am not planning on returning until after covid.

Rumor is that embers will reopen Friday.

[QUOTE=McKilla;5192101]Rumor is that embers will reopen Friday.[/QUOTE]That will be good at least no overcrowding in Vic's place from what I heard.

I was wondering if anyone knows if that hott bartender Geena does lap dances as well?? I've been there a few times and talked to her quick. She was always busy. I do know that she used to be a dancer back in the day. So I'm sure, actually I do know she played in the back.

Any information I appreciate.

Kay's in Irvington (visible from southbound GSP near exit 144) seems to be open. I have no idea what goes on there, it was abandoned for years. I have seen the doors open for a few weekends and yesterday there were a lot of guys going in the place. Anyone know anything? Private hall? Sports bar? I mean, the outside screams seedy strip club. Google turns up nil, besides an old Twitter that shows it was, at some point, a strip clu.
