Strip Club Reports

Let me preface by saying this is my first post AND I remember the days of Ricks. What a little slice of heaven. After I moved away and came back, I found it was shutdown. Much to my dismay. Knowing I wouldn't find a similar experience anywhere near as cool as Ricks, I still wanted to try my luck to see how desperate the girls were down at LD and Sands. I work near LD so it was an easy stroll down there. Once I got in, it seemed like most of the hotter chicks were hanging out near the bar area. As soon as I sat down, several girls came up and asked me if I wanted a dance. Of course I waited for that very special "one" to come by and when she did I accepted without hesitation. She was smokin hot. Had a great body and was all about letting my tongue wander wherever it would, though I'm not into sticking my tongue in strippers' kooters. Anyway, after inquiring about a little extra, I could tell it was a NO GO.

A few weeks later at Sands, a very young, attractive, thin girl gave me a dance worth paying for. Though, when the dance came to an end, she was very quick to ask if I wanted extra. I said yes and she said it would cost me 10 songs. Damn, sweetie, you're hot but not that hot! By the time we had been done negotiating, another song had gone by and by this time she was asking for more $. I refused and she got all huffy, hopped off me and ran to the management. I got out quickly, but WTF are they going to do? Kick my ass? Try it.

Something to look out for:

Anyone been down to Club Sin Rock

[url]http://clubsinrock.com/seattle-strip-club[/url]

Lately?

Driving past this place all the time, looks like they're always busy. Expected that this would be THE club in town with the others closing, but I thought wrong. It must be a Corporate club too, since it's all way too pricey there.

First off, unless there's a convention in town, this place will never be full. Kind of awkward too with how big it is and all the extra space. The girls were hot enough, a good enough selection when I went on a weekend night, but still not nearly as busy or exciting as I thought it would be. One reason might be the female's themselves. Some of them were friendly and cool enough, but others had some seriously crappy attitudes and chased the $$$$ worse than the most ambitious Rick's girl did. What reason is there to stay in a club after getting that "Well fuck you" look from a dancer just because you don't get a dance from them right off the bat.

Bouncers are douches, and the "manager" walking around doing absolutely nothing at least gave something to laugh at. Regretted going in there after I left, and wished I had visited Jiggles while it was open. This city doesn't really have anywhere to go anymore. Sin Rock was way better and easier on the wallet, but it's all the way down in downtown Renton. Not really a place most of us would be before or after visiting that club.

Now if they could only just build some clubs at each of the Indian casinos in the area, it would make weekends so much better and easier due to gas prices these days.

What else would be better than eating some good food, playing some table games, hitting the club, then if things don't work out, heading over to a newly built strip club at Snoqualmie?

So from various news sources, it looks like a couple news clubs will be popping up in the very near future.

Pandora's Cabaret. In Wedgewood, used to be an old Chinese restaraunt.

Black Pearl. On the Mukilteo Speedway right next to Paine field. Suppose to open in July.

Not to mention the old Ricks location is up for auction next week, and may potentially reopen as a new strip club.

Hi,

For some reason I don't see any posts here on Deja Vu on 1st Ave.

Can anyone give some details about Lily?

So I went to check out the new Pandora's club in Lake City. They still don't have their sign up outside, though it's pretty easy to spot as you drive by, it's right next to the Shanty Tavern.

Cover charge is $10 and drinks are $5. Inside they've got two stages, referred to as the "North Pole" (main stage) and "South Pole" at opposite ends of the club. The center area is full of the usual small tables and chairs, and along one wall are the VIP chairs.

The place was not extremely busy for a Saturday night, possibly because of lack of a sign or advertising, possibly also because of the Bite of Seattle. Still, business was steady, maybe 20 dancers and about the same number of customers. Dancers were pretty attractive although I didn't see any stunners, with a variety of races represented. I don't recall seeing any Asians though. Several of the girls said they had worked at Rick's but none that I remember specifically. All the dancers I talked to were friendly without being pushy. Dances started at $20, as well as $30, $40, or 3-for-$100 offered by different girls.

The chairs in the VIP are such that there is decent mileage to be had. I had dances with 4 different girls and all were very accommodating, and I left the club with no complaints. I hope this new club does well, I think it will make a worthy successor to Rick's.

LD: Same old same old. This place must have an extensive change room because most of the time the place is empty until there's a house dance. I thought there were < 6 dancers and then bam. 15! A cutie blonde spinner with tats was sweet but nothing extra. FYI, Briana Blair will be doing a couple shows this Fri / Sat.

Pandora's: Two Ravens summed it up nicely. The place definitely has the old Rick's / Sugar's feel; the tables, chairs, couch benches, dance booths, lighting, and even the drink glasses seemed a carbon copy. There was a good assortment of dancers but being midweek not a ton of customers which surprised me since the parking lot was full. If this place picks up on the weekends, expect to park elsewhere and walk over. I'd assume the Shanty Tavern next door will crack down on folks. I only opted for a couple of dances. The manager makes regular patrols.

Rick's: A dancer at LD mentioned that Dreamgirls is reopening the old Rick's. It's a bit sad that the place will 'go corporate' but nice to see it's going to be used for something. I saw a Dreamgirls sign on the building after my trip to Pandora's. Three clubs on Lake City Way? Quite a boom. Let's see how this works out.

During my visit, I stopped by two clubs. Little Darlings and Pandora.

Little Darlings is apparently a Deja Vu club and does look nice on the inside. Its a smaller club inside and has the one main stage, you pay 20 to get in, which includes unlimited soft drinks. You're going to get hit up for the buy a girl a drink bullshit, which gets old. I went on a Friday night, about 11pm, there was a pretty good selection of girls there, probably a dozen or so. I lucked out, I was sitting down for no more than 2 mins when they had a 'free dance' special, complete with a free couch dance in the back, not much on the mileage, but better than nothing. I did manage to get 2 dances of the paid variety, they were okay. Hands werent really free to roam and no extras were to be had. Overall, not a bad club if you like to look, but that's about it.

Pandora on the other hand was not a good experience at all. I get there, pay the 10 cover and have a seat. I made the mistake of going to get a 30 dance very early on with a black dancer named 'Exotica' who wasn't overly attractive but seemed like she'd be fun in the back. Well, get in the back and its as advertised, she does her best through the pants work, the songs kinda run together and then the trouble starts. She of course has been stroking me the whole time and she gets the job done and when she does, she starts freaking out, saying I'm going to owe her 150 total for that. Of course, that isn't happening. I spend the next few minutes fighting off the shakedown and her threats of getting the mgr blah blah. So I peaced out. Too bad, though, some of the others were pretty good looking. Either avoid Exotica or avoid the club altogether.

Anybody try the reopened Rick's? A friend told me it owned by the Vu? Hope not as then it would probably be lame. Any reports?

Went in around 9 PM on a Thurs night and there were about 5 dancers working but it quickly picked up and by 10-10:30 there were around 20 dancers with a variety of body types, ages and ethncities. 19 to 40 yo, petite and thick, white, brown and black. The place is friendly and I always feel comfortable here. The staff is friendly and casual. The place is clean. Free street parking is easy to find. I always get a pass and so the cover is a reasonable $10. There is one stage and the girls dance for two songs. Lap dance booths are in the back, and there are several champagne rooms for $150/15 min, $275/30 min. Dances are $20.

The club is relatively small with tables / cushy chairs and wall seats around the edges up against the walls. I generally take one of the wall seats because then when a girl comes to talk with me we its easier to talk / hear and a little more intimate.

When I was there this night there was a free dance where all the girls got on stage and then fanned out, picking off customers. I got one from a hot blonde named Jewels who told me "I give the best dances in this club." I was skeptical of course since that's a frequent sales line. She wasn't kidding however. I had a great time with her. The free dance was followed up quite nicely with a 2 for 3 dance. So I got 4 awesome dances from her for only $40. She's a hot blonde with a big ass and great attitude.

I also had some very enjoyable and satisfying dances from Katalina and Kylee. And also Honey and Belial.

By 11 to 11:30 the place was packed with maybe 25 to 30 girls working the small club. Quite the partay.

It was amateur night and I got asked to judge 4 dancers. Three were quite clearly amateurs but the other appeared quite the pro with a variety of advanced pole moves.

All in all a very enjoyable night and I look forward to heading back.

The last time I was at a strip club was in May of 2011, when I wrote a review of Centerfolds which can be found on a similar site (I'd written a review of the Sands that I posted to here as well). I haven't been back to this, or any, club since and had basically "retired" from the club scene. However, some of the fellow super-pervs who know my handle from other sites started telling me that Centerfolds had really improved. I finally made it out this weekend to check things out. And, well. A few months away have seen things really improved!

First, I got extremely lucky: when I walked in to pay at the front desk, one of my old favorites from Rick's, Mason, was just leaving- but she saw me and went back so we could hook up. Hard to believe it's been a year and a half since Rick's closed; I won't go into a blow-by-blow detail, but suffice to say her dances even exceeded what I used to get back when I saw her at Rick's! It was good catching up with her, and she told me similarly to what I'd heard through the grapevine that some of the dancers from Rick's / Honey's are still around, and seem to be working here.

I went in on a Saturday afternoon around 4:30 or so, and while there were only about 4 women working, and only one I recognized (Mason) , they were okay and seemed friendly enough; I got a couple of dances from a "Kisha" (thin, dreadlocks) before taking off, but no one was high pressure or pushy. Plus, and perhaps more importantly, the facilities were not the shambles I recall. And that's what's nice about Centerfolds now compared to my last visit: the owner (Mark?) finally got his act together sometime in the last few months, because the main floor looks pretty good!

First, the back wall, opposite the stage, finally has high back booths, and likewise the dance area just to the left of when you walk in is also revamped with very high back booths. The main floor has the Deja Vu style club seats, two to a table, and the stage looks decent. There's also a big TV just to the right of the stage, which was great to watch some football on. The bathroom is still, ugh, but at least there's a door on the stall, and it wasn't unstocked. But the lack of a door on the bathroom itself is ghetto. That's really the only knock left on the place: the stage is laid out okay, the booths are plentiful, new, and high-backed, and the lighting is the right level of dim.

Mason also told me that the VIP area- where if you read my last review from the last time I was here, I snuck in with my stripper friend to get blown mightily, but where the manager kept sneaking a peek- is being redone, to be more private. She's optimistic that it'll be popular, as when it was open before most dancers would take guys back: there's more privacy apparently now.

The other big plus to Centerfolds is that the managers were not prowling, at least during the day times. It was very slow- but not necessarily in a bad way, as it seems like this club is now (like the Sands apparently is) the kind of place you go when you *know* who you want to go see. It sounds like the owner is finally figuring out how to get people to not be weirded out by the interior and thus to stay once in the door- and apparently the rent is reasonable for the dancers, and there are no nitpicky managers (on day shift). Now if we can see more dancers, and thus more customers, and thus more dancers. We can all but resurrect the Rick's of old.

Now that the facilities are much improved, I'd really like to see two things to really bump Centerfolds up to a high level:

1) The bathroom still needs work- just the one stall, it has a door, but the bathroom itself does not.

2) Something, anything, that can be done about the parking. The sad fact is there isn't really a good place to park when you come out to Centerfolds- or to the Sands- but I don't know if the owner can do much. It just makes it inconvenient, since you have to park elsewhere on the street and then walk up, sweat pants all but announcing to everyone you pass "I am a sick pervert going to a strip club!".

Yet all in all, a highly successful trip to Centerfolds: walked in and immediately saw an old friend, and was happily entertained my entire time there. I will be back soon enough.

I was able to return to the Sands 2 times over the last couple of weeks. My usual fave. Blair. Only shows when she wants to so I was looking for someone else to fit the bill. Got a fantastic set of dances from Unique. African American dancer, short, and well built (like Blair) but was best about her was her overall friendliness.

This is a nice girl who enjoys her work.

Tonight I dropped by unfortunately as Unique was leaving. I chose Marilyn, a classic tall all American blond. She was sweet but only low mileage 40 dances were on offer. She was very upfront about it and did not upsell or bait and switch. If classic gentlemen's club lapdances are your thing I recommend Marilyn highly.
