Thoughts on ATL area strip club scene in general
Just my observation but I work the major in ATL and was talking to an OG atl native who was been working at the airline 25 years and in conference planning before that. He told me the strip club scene in ATL was so lively because was an unwritten understanding that the strip club scene complimented the conference scene.
Back in the day the, mostly male conference attendee preferred ATL conferences because they could get their rocks off in the afternoon / evening. Now, with more gender diversity, and the pandemic, conference travel ain't the same anymore so these cities and counties are as lenient with extras going on. Add in the gentrification of ATL and there ain't as much going on on the Atl scene as it was 15-20 years ago.
Fast forward to last month. One of my favorite dancers said she'll be a traveling dancer full time and will mostly rock in Vegas, New York, & LA where they can get 20-50 a dance. She said volume is low in ATL and her weeks are dependent upon having a night shift baller / dope boy / scammer blowing a few racks on her at some point during the week.
As nicer communities pop up OTP on the south, west, and east sides we may even lose some old faithful spots like we had with follies, Golrdrush, Mardi Gras, Flashers, boomers (for OTC), foxy lady, 20 grand, etc.
Yes, Come In the Water is Fine
[QUOTE=EngineerGuy;5647567]Just curious if a 50 year old clean cut white guy would be welcome at the traditionally African American clubs in Atlanta? I'd really like to try one, just didn't know how appropriate it would be for me to visit one alone.[/QUOTE]I think I can answer this one as well as most. I am almost 63, very white, retired, and will say clean cut in that I dress nice and look presentable for my age. So I drive a little over 2 hours to get to the clubs in Atlanta. I have been visiting for over 6 years now. I must preface the following by saying I am 90% day shift because that's where you get the bang for the buck. So yes, I have been to most of the popular AA clubs reviewed on this site and I always travel alone. I have been the only white person in an entire club multiple times but usually there are a couple others scattered about. We are talking about hundreds of club visits. To summarize, I have never had any issues other than a couple disagreements with dancers on up counting dances. That's nothing to do with race though, just stripper hustle. You will find that most of the employees are friendly, the customers won't even notice you, and the dancers will normally only care about the green in your pocket. Inside the club you are fine. Watch your step in the tough areas that surround some of the clubs if your out at night. So, I would make a short list and visit a few. Like anything, you need to know what body type your looking for. Since I like the small framed women that takes me into the mixed clubs more than the 100% AA clubs but I do both. Also your spend. There are high end AA clubs in Atlanta that I don't visit but if money is no object then you should be fine there as well. So day shift by all means if you can. That just means shoot for around 4:00 depending on the day and the club. If you your not sure where to start then just PM with what your looking for. If you read the board the posters will tell you where to go by the treatment they receive. Some of the posters identify as AA but that's irrelevant since your dancing the same women. Beyond my limited experience there are multiple white posters that have visited all these same clubs. We get basically the same comments from them when asked. They don't have any problems either. Good luck and look forward to a report after you have sampled a few spots.
