Strip Club Reports

I stand corrected, please forgive my ignorance.

[QUOTE=Browsebot;1914277]It's explained on the club website: [URL]http://www.puregoldclubs.com/pgc/byob-strip-club/[/URL].

----------------------------------
From the website:

"There is a convenience store next door that sells alcohol til 2 am 7 nights a week.

There is a full service bar next door that sells liquor til 2 am 7 nights a week."
----------------------------------

One of the main requirements is that on-premise alcohol sales cannot occur in an all-nude strip club. Remove the on-premise alcohol sales, and you're on your way to an all-nude strip-club. Most clubs are simply not willing to experiment with the loss of revenue of alcohol sales, and the potential revenue increase from more traffic.

So how do you get around that?

You have an off-premise establishment close-by (next door, for example) that sells alcohol during the same hours that the club is open. Now if the club owners also own the alcohol store, then there actually is no revenue loss from not selling alcohol in the club, and you also benefit from the increased traffic attracted by the all-nude lure. But personally, the all-nude feature isn't that big of a lure...the same thing happens regardless of whether the girl is wearing a bikini or not. But boys will be boys.[/QUOTE]

You only go BYOB if you fucked up and had your liquor license revoked or you change your business model because the first one sucked.

Pure Gold's business model "rape the customer for all they're worth" sucked.

This one will be no different. It truly amazes me how they stay in business so long (the one in Garner accidently caught fire and wasn't rebuilt, why?

These assholes need to go to Dallas, Miami or Tijuana and see how to treat a customer who gives them money and then WANTS to come back and give them MORE money.

Its really not that hard. You simply have to be long term greedy, not short term greedy.

Play safe,

Got one inviting me to visit tonight to witness a new beginning with a special 10:00 pm stage show.

[QUOTE=SportsFan;1913641]I just got a message starting tomorrow Tues Oct 29 Pure Gold in Cary will be nude and BYOB. The only additional info is free pass are now $4 discount passes. Might have to make a visit to check this out.[/QUOTE] Usually the quality of the girls goes down in an all-nude club. But I will happily go to see for myself.

Pure Gold has never really done it for me so fully nude or not I doubt I'll go but it will be interesting to read a report if someone wants to TOFTT. I've been to fully nude clubs before and really found very little difference between topless clubs, depending on the management. Where management is more "liberal" the possibility of full service is there but sometime the quoted price is outrageous.

Based on past experience I'm also wondering how many of the girls will actually do dances nude as opposed to getting on stage nude. I've met more than one dancer who dances nude on stage but only topless for customers.

[QUOTE=PurpleHelmet;1914351]You only go BYOB if you fucked up and had your liquor license revoked or you change your business model because the first one sucked.[/QUOTE]You're right. Unless you're forced to do it because of a license loss, no club will voluntarily go BYOB unless there is a guaranteed increase in revenue. Greed is always the motivator.

If the club owners also fully or partially own the establishments selling alcohol off-premises (right next door / co-located), and the club is also charging people to bring that alcohol into the club, you've damn near doubled your alcohol-related revenue...the all-nude lure is just icing on the cake for advertising & marketing. It depends on the relationship the club has with the off-premise alcohol stores. But without the club having their hand in the cookie jar of the off-premises alcohol sales, it's not a good scenario.

For profit maximization, the smartest way to do it is for club owners to also own the off-premise alcohol sales.

But for the prices you'll get charged for dances at any Pure Gold club, you can find FS nearby if that is your ultimate goal. But like I said, what was going to happen, was going to happen regardless of whether the girl is wearing a bikini or not.

-------------------------------------------------
From the website FAQ:

"Q6. How much are dances?

The club has dance minimums and those minimums are $15 for table side dances & $35 for private dances. Throughout the night there will be opportunities to get discounted dances & free Pure Gold merchandise. Keep in mind that entertainers set their own prices so if one girl says a dance is $35 and the next girl says $40, she's not ripping your off or taking advantage of you. She simply values her dances at $40."

So went there last night as I said I would.. No nude.. Then DJ announced at 10 pm panties come off!! First off, I was walking to the door and the valet guy said.. "hey buddy, you may want to go to the store and get some beer".

So indeed at 10 pm.. Panties came off.. Some dancers refuse to take them off I guess they have the option because there contract was topless. Some dancers told me they literally found out the day before and no one seemed to know the rules. Based on this, not much planning went into it nor advertisement so I am thinking maybe they lost liq license?

Any way, really enjoyed seeing it all without having to drive to Greensboro!

[QUOTE=RaleighConnect;1915302]Some dancers told me they literally found out the day before and no one seemed to know the rules. Based on this, not much planning went into it nor advertisement so I am thinking maybe they lost liq license?[/QUOTE]Curiosity got the best of me, and I looked at the liquor license status. This is current as the time of this post. If PGC did lose their license, then it hasn't gone into effect in the ABC database yet. The club in Cary apparently still has an active license (the one in the database that reflects as cancelled is old, the active one is the renewed one). There is additional information in the database for each record, but I didn't want to post that as site rules forbid the posting of last names, etc.

My guess is the all-nude / BYOB thing is just a scheme to be able to double alcohol-related profits by not only making money off the off-premise alcohol sales, but also charging you to bring the alcohol into the club. Since the liquor license is still valid, they could, if and when they choose, go back to their original business model. But if they can maintain the same volume of customers as they had before, they stand to make more money this way double-charging the alcohol. But from talking to people, this doesn't seem to be too popular with the average customer. We'll see how it turns out soon enough.

The club claims they did not loose it's liquor license but seems odd it happened so suddenly. My understanding is girls already dancing have them option to only go topless but new girls or ones rehired must go nude. Cover for members are now $15 and membership is $20. Free passes now only get you $4 off. I'm going to try to check it out soon it's been years since I've been to a nude club.

I love to see it, anything less is a disappointment. As for customers who want topless.. There are many other options close by. But for me, I am tired of driving to GB to see it.

The 2 nude clubs that I knew of in GBO (Harpers and Executive suite) are now topless only. Is there another one that is still all nude?

[QUOTE=Jjjchar;1916549]The 2 nude clubs that I knew of in GBO (Harpers and Executive suite) are now topless only. Is there another one that is still all nude?[/QUOTE]As far as I know Southside Johnny's is still nude.

Now that Pure Gold has been nude for a while, wondering if anyone has been there and can report...

Thanks!

Thanks![/QUOTE]Okay I say this with caution, since I don't want to get word out and make things more strict there, but I went recently on a Saturday night. A very rare occassion, but I wanted to check out the full nude plus Rachael Starr was featuring. [URL]https://twitter.com/RachelStarrxxx/status/410652181449023488/photo/1[/URL].

The bring your own beer in, thing, is a little weird but it's totally worth it since the girls are incredibly hot in my opinion. Young, thin, firm, sexy, cute and friendly. I enjoyed several private dances and here's where it got interesting. The booths only have side walls, so aren't private, but it's dark and some girls are more open than others to exploration. A bouncer comes back constantly and makes guys remove their hands or whatever, but if the girl is cool, you can get a taste of some of those tits and the tight blonde I was with even invited me to get a finger inside. It was hot.

Now don't wreck it for everybody by being crazy in there and making them even more strict.

I took a "friend" from the bookstore to lunch there the other day, they were serving prime rib lunches for $1.00!! It was free to get in as a members and ladies are free. Can't beat that!

It was great because my friend is really hot with nice bolt ons so she was tipping (with my $) all the hot dancers and feeling them up and they were feeling her up. It was erotic as hell! She's really in to chicks so I was going to buy her a table dance with this one incredibly hot dancer but she was asking $25 for a stinking table dance. I passed and took my friend back to the book store for a BBBJ for just a little more than a table dance.

Can't be prime rib for $1 though.

Pleasureseeker, I'm just curious, what did it cost you for several dances?

Play safe,
