Strip Club Reports

I made it to Baltimore and went to the block last night. Several clubs on the north side of the street (Including the 2-O'clock made famous by Paul Newman) have closed. A lot of the clubs on the south side have turned to all black dancers. I was speaking to one of the bartenders I know and he told me that several buildings in the area have been converted to condominiums, and expensive ones at that. The economics dictate that the block won't be far behind. Tears for a Baltimore (and indeed, American) institution.

The craziest thing that just happen in The Haven Palace. A dancer named Summer was called into the stage. Some hick was heckling and touched her Inappropriately. The 3rd song in, she slapped this guy so hard that you can hear it from across the room with the loud music. John (I think that is the owners name) came in to interfere and kicked the guy out of the bar. That was one hell of a Saturday night!

Also, I've notice the talent in Haven keeps bring their "boyfriends" into the bar which I find unprofessional. Not to mention you ain't getting TO from these type of dancer. However, in my opinion (this is only how I would see it), you are automatically a cuckold for making your girlfriend work the pole to make ends meet. Not to mention if you are so insecure about your girlfriend being a dancer, why would you date her to being with? Even when I was dating a dancer before, I knew what would go down at the gentleman's club. I just simply do not question it. After all, it's not really healthy to talk about work so much in a relationship. Just much unpopular opinion.

Lust has been the only one operating on the North side for quite a long time (and they're expanding from upstairs to downstairs as well). The 2 o'clock effectively closed ages ago. Also, I'm not sure which ones have "turned to" all Black dancers. Red Room is still mixed on a night by night basis. Oasis is the same Oasis it has been for the past decade. Intermittent closures and bad management not withstanding. Norma Jeans is still Norma Jeans. Chez Joey is still the same Chez Joey. Circus is still the last stop on the road (both literally and figuratively).

That said, the clubs know they've got to be on their a-game. Between the developments occurring nearby (i.e.: the building getting renovated right next to Club Lust) and the usual crap (people fighting, etc.), the Police and the Liquor Board have been cracking down hard - especially on Fridays and Saturdays. More so, the gang unit has been out there as well. They're the ones in the Green and/or Black uniforms with vests on - usually standing in front of Hustler.

Indulge and former Flamingo also all black, though they always have been. If you take away wrecks at the Circus, only RR, Pussycat and Harem have diversity in dancers.

I agree on threats to block, but I actually like the gang unit there — one thing that's hurt the block was dealers / bangers roaming out front, which keeps typical suburban white guys away (it used to be bars were full from those at Orioles game, no longer.

Having said all that, can still have good time at three mentioned abov, though:

1) PC very mixed, and just lost 3 best dancers.

2) Red Room and particularly Harem getting much better eye candy in weekend nights, but many provide only limited lap dance or no dance st all.

Agree that from years past block is nowhere near it's old splendor. But. What's up with red room becoming a new club. Bottoms up. Same owner? Rob still around?

That said, there is interesting stuff in a new Baltimore book, The Ghosts of Johns Hopkins, which also covers 1950's nightlife along Pennsylvania Avenue and Charles Street. https://books.google.com/books?id=Qw5pDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=The#v=onepage&q=The%20Block&f=false

Was trying to get to haven but its seems like they are closed; no lights on. I went to desires and Tony's but I'm not down with AA dancers (Not being racists, just not my preference).

Checked out the Golds Club and I've up with nothing. No dancers approached me and all the idel dancers that are on the floor keeps talking to the old guys. My Hispanic.

Guy friend from mill streams who just so happen to be there approach on of these girls. They tried to come up with a dumbass excuse to not dance with him saying that they got to dance with their customer first (A. K. A. The old guys).

This is so unprofessional in a dancers perspective.

Also, there was a bachelor party full of thugs and they brought in an clearly-visable AA dancer to perform whatever act they would do for the bachelor.

At thise point, I might need to go out of town to find a decent place to get lap dances.

[QUOTE=GregIsLong;4372863](Not being racists, just not my preference)[/QUOTE]And yet you immediately proceeded to type a lot of racist stuff.

There's a light skinned black woman at Ritz Cabaret with the name of Ivy, claiming to be from Hagerstown, she will try to steal your tips at the counter top, be careful.

Amateur/pornhub porn star, Nyx Baltimore showed up at the Ritz, not my up of tea though, especially with all those tats.

There's stripper at penthouse that's on SA, business kinda slow I assume. She can host, I was busy and didn't get a chance to meet. Seems pretty cool. Anyone meet her?

Her handle on SA is jinxxmoneyxx.

FWIW.

Stopped by for a couple drinks last night. I'm always afraid that I'm going to drive by one night and it's going to be closed for good. So, I try to stop in a few times a year.

Cami was tending bar. I tend to prefer her over the other one. (Kelly, I think).

I had a decent time. Four dancers.

AA Dancer. Around 30 or so. Thick.

Brunette. Mid to late 30's. Long hair with bangs. Pretty.

Bleached blond. Around 50. Body still looks good. Pretty.

Young dirty blond. 20's. Pretty, but heavy.

All were very nice. No major hustling. Just normal tip-walk after the dance.

Does anyone know if there are younger, hot-body girls that dance there?

[QUOTE=MetPage;4327886]It's more like a sports bar like environment. It's been a couple of years but last I remember lapdances were awkward since the bouncer watches you like a hawk as there is no touching. Can't imagine anyone getting any extras there.[/QUOTE]Got a lap dance from a girl about 10 years ago from this place and the bounce watched like I was his entertainment. I couldn't even touch the girl arm without him saying "hands to the side sir". WTF LOL that was the last time I got a lap dance there. It is funny that after 10 years this place is still like that. Literally I felt like he was the girl's bf telling me not to cross the line with his girl.

Anyone seen the new bartender at harem, daylight. With blue eyes? She's beautiful,. Wonder if she dances? Anyone with intel on her?

[QUOTE=Franchise2;4381408]Anyone seen the new bartender at harem, daylight. With blue eyes? She's beautiful,. Wonder if she dances? Anyone with intel on her?[/QUOTE]There are three possibilities:

1) if she's larger but still attractive brunet, looks vaguely Hispanic, she's never danced there and can be a little remote.

2) There's very tight slender babe with very blonde hair; danced briefly, but hated it and quit before coming back to bartend.

3) Very petite Myra, like 5'0. She had, and occasionally does dance. Will accept drinks; anything more depends on familiarity; she does VIP, but only limited basis.

The bartender in Harem with the beautiful blue eyes. Has a tattoo on the side of her body under her arm,. And has one on her arm. Is that the one that danced briefly and didn't like it?

The bartender with the beautiful blue eyes. Has tats on her right side going down. And a arm sleeve on the other. Real spinner type with nice tits. Did she dance. Also? I know she's in training to be a bartender at harem now. Just wanted to know if she dance, at the club prior to?. Any intel?

Went to the Block this past Saturday night and was surprised by how things have changed. There were more people just loitering on the street than in the clubs. Almost like a street party. A dice game going on by Pussy Cat. Must be a new policy; if enough paying customers stay away the clubs will go out of business.

That sounds like the same Friday / Saturday night block that it's been for that past ten years. Now the closing of a lot of strip clubs that were there on the other hand.

I think Lust is the only one still left on the North side of Baltimore.

Various reasons mostly beyond my control I haven't been to The Block in 5, maybe 6 years. Used to go 3 - 6 times a year, minimum. I had a few bad nights, plenty of OK nights, and a surprisingly large number of amazing nights up there.

Finally getting a little bit of my "life" back and want to make a trip, but reports here make me extremely apprehensive. If things there now are as bad as folks here make it sound, a visit now would do little but darken those older memories.

I was there this past Thursday. There were a lot of girls at the Harem and the Pussy Cat. A lot of them are younger too, (if that's your thing). Some of them don't do VIP and the ones that do aren't cheap, but that's nothing new. Red Room was pretty slow that night, but I would check it out too if you're already there.

Not saying it's as good as it was 10-15 years ago, but as good as it's been in the past year (in my opinion).

As noted, some don't do even lap dances, and for others, VIP is mainly lap dance with fewer clothes, but still good. But very uncertain— other nights is dead.

Pussycat is the same, though far fewer such girls; too often, limited to highly unattractive dancers. In both cases, usually not bad re: girls hiding in back, so you can usually tell pretty quick who is there.

Red Room other story — new owner has gotten rid of Scott and Rob, who brought girls in. Many longtime girls gone; both good and bad. Also, by far most attractive dancer, Daisy, has left the area. Still a couple of lookers (Destiny), but very uneven. Supposedly, new owner is trying to upgrade place, but given hard times for Hustler, can't see it working.

I'm pretty sure I saw both Rob and Daisy there 2 weekends ago.

Hustler has come up on hard times? Was there ever a time when Hustler was any good? It's been a couple of years since I checked it out.

There are definitely some changes going on with the block which I personally view as a good thing. Rob and Scott from the RR moved to the old Flamingo / Little Darlings during the day along with their girls. I'm not sure what that club is called now. Indulgence? Anyway. Stopped in the upstairs Jewel Box which I considered a lost cause for a while and they had a few lookers which surprised me. Bit on a lap dance with a tall blonde and while she was a 9. 5 by block standards, not much to write home about performance wise. Harem had lots of girls of varying hotness. Overall was pleasantly surprised with the quality in general compared to past visits.

I'm not so sure the new retail space will result in the demise of the block. Maybe it will just be additional peep shows or lingerie stores. Demand has dwindled due to the decline in quality performers is my opinion which has caused consolidation and the weaker clubs to fold. If you bring talent, the demand will follow.

I agree about lack of talent, though there's a chicken and egg argument re: impact of safety impacting client traffic, which then reduces income, which means fewer non-druggies willing to work, etc.

Harem to me is the only spot on the block worth taking a shot! They have some hot dancers. I've done the stripper gig for yrs, though. I'm into the curly hair blonde spinner, bartender, with huge nice perfect tits. I wished she danced! Anyone knows if she did. Or is going both ways, dancing and bartending. Would love to know if anything else is available. Has anyone. Gotten lucky with this blue eyed beauty?

[QUOTE=Nudieman;4394691] Anyway. Stopped in the upstairs Jewel Box which I considered a lost cause for a while and they had a few lookers which surprised me. [/QUOTE]Went up to the Block again on Saturday night. I've read on this forum that weekdays are better, but I live fairly far away so weekend is the only time I can get there.

Checked out Harem, Red Room, Pussy Cat. My initial intention was to stay at the Harem. They recently had a decent selection of younger girls. Then I remembered a comment made by "Nudieman" on this forum about the upstairs Jewel Box. Figured what the hell, might as well check it out. Glad I did. Was pleasantly surprised.

The Upstairs Jewel Box was a struggling club for as long as I can remember. New owners took over a couple of months ago. Definitely changed for the better. Must of been about 10-15 girls of all shapes, sizes, and ethnicities. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. I got a couple of ladies drinks (the $25 variety). I was practically getting lap dances at the bar. No way I'd get away with that kind of play at the Harem.

Sat with 2 girls. One was a bubbly red head. The other was an Hawaiin looking girl. (Don't remember their names.) Apparently they were pretty new to the scene and haven't warmed up yet to the VIP area. I guess my luck had to run out eventually. Still had a great time (considering most of the times I went to the Block this year kind of sucked).

Hopefully there'll be more nights like this one.

. . .
Not saying it's as good as it was 10-15 years ago, but as good as it's been in the past year (in my opinion).[/QUOTE]Managed to carve out a evening, was a worthwhile trip. Much different, but a few places still had the old feel.

I was trying to keep the budget down for this visit, after such a long hiatus capping the expenditures would be prudent. As they say, you should never go grocery shopping when you're hungry. But that also meant I did not take every drink/dance offered, had I been feeling more flush or carrying more cash, I would have spent at least some time with at least twice as many girls, as was I turned down offers that looked quite promising.

Jewel box upstairs and down are unrecognizable apart from the sign out front, and that long narrow stairway. One of the dancers at an earlier stop said it was all black dancers now, but I saw 2 or 3 white girls in both halves. Both were too crowded for my taste, so I didn't stay long. This was the biggest disappointment of the night.
JB Upstairs use to be my last stop of the evening - almost 100% guaranteed good time. I know a lot of people complained about Misti ( the former bartender ) but she always made sure I had a good time, she'd let the girls know I was an OK guy and in turn the girls always treated me very well. Lots of mileage at the bar with a small drink, and more than few times on slow night Misti cut me a deal on bottles for the 2-3 on shift, locked the door and let me and the girls have our fun.

Harem(?) had enough good looking girls that I stopped for one drink in spite of it being on the edge of too crowded, because while there were a fair number of guys, a bunch of the girls were not occupied. During the course of a drink I determined it was because the girls had no interest in making money and would rather chat among themselves and play on the phone. On the way out I saw one of the girls with the cute face that I noticed when I walked in was pregnant, if I had noticed that sooner I might have stayed longer, if I could have gotten her attention.

Bottoms up (downstairs) my knees regretted the walk down the stairs, not crowded, but only a couple of girls, and all inferior to a lot of the girls I saw earlier.

Most of the other places were pretty much the same as Bottoms Up, either that or on the other end of the scale, a few really nice looking girls, a few more above average, and a crowd of 3+ guys per girl.

Club Pussycat was my favorite club before the Jewel Box, and one of the reasons it stopped being my favorite was because it became everyone's favorite. It was always crowded, and they were the first club to take dancer drinks from $20 to 25 (think it was $28 last night). The crowds chased me away, but last night it was a good balance - enough guys to put the girls in a good mood because they were making money but not so many that all the girls were 'taken' for the night.
Three really good ones there, MacKensie I had one drink with, and Miami was worth a drink and a lapdance. The third one I didn't get a name, but very very tall, and very slim long legs. There were a bunch of other girls that looked good, but those three caught my eye.

Circus is where I started and ended the night, as above they had three girls that caught my attention, Nina and Veronica were worth a drink, and I didn't get the name of the third good looking one. Fewer girls total at Circus than Pussycat, and if the ones beyond those three were the only ones visible, a probably wouldn't have stayed at all. One girl relly caught my attention with some of her dance moves, and we hit it off well during her drink, so that is were I returned to finish the night.

I've had better times on The Block, but this was above average. Had I arrived a couple hours earlier and and not imposed a finite budget for the evening,
I could have had a lot more fun. As was I was there until closing, and came away contented.

In the past, there were more clubs. The ratio of "too crowded to enjoy", to "too homely to enjoy", "barely attractive but aggressively raunchy", and "just right - pretty and personable" was about the same, but with twice as many (or more) clubs the same ration gave more options. But last night there were options enough and it was a good trip.
