[QUOTE=Rail Monkey; 1633572]Yep, couldn't agree more. I've also heard that Z-bone is owned and operated by Sam's Hofbrau management. They seem to be angling for a "Facebook of Strip Clubs" approach that's fallen flat.
Vengo is correct. I just called Sam's and was informed that they will resume serving alcohol on January 9, 2013.[/QUOTE]I have known Zbone going back to shortly after he started the site in the 90's. I can say that Sam's is special to him in a way I can't discuss, but Sam's is not the owner and operator unless something changed recently. That's entirely possible since the whole site changed and I agree with the commentary here that it changed drastically for the worse.
It was the SoCal website of record for the local stripclub scene and it still is. A few years ago it started to get hijacked by club managers and other shills and plenty of trolls too poisoning the reader review boards which were the heart of the site. After awhile it looks like Z just gave up the fight and decided to install this totally different format which would openly be sponsored by the clubs. IMO the sponsorships and the new format have brought the individual club coverage way way down. It had already been adulterated by the shills and trolls who are not there now, but the daily vibrant activity and veteran contributions are gone too. Seems like most of the sustaining vets who posted with candor and sharp insights have walked away or are keeping on the sidelines. However the forum is still there and that will be as good or bad as the participants make it.
Sam's btw may be the most successful strip club business in the whole L.A. metro area. No other strip club is so constantly busy day and night, and they are making huge profit on booze sales with their gigantic markups which nude clubs can't do. Believe it or not, many nude clubs would have opened or switched to being topless booze clubs if they could get a liquor license which the state licensing agency ABC has made next to impossible. Much more money to be made in a boozy titty bar than a hardcore nude lapdance club.

Alameda strip
So finally stopped and paid my first visit. Not a bad little spot all Latinas which is what I've been looking for. Most of the girls were thicker girls which I love. Spent time with 2 different women first was Venus nice a little older. Second was Emily younger thick legs and ass which I love great tits was very fun and easy to talk with. No extras and I didn't try with either since it was first visit I think I can work it with some of the ladies though. I will be going back for another visit

Understand it is a so-called "bikini club" and most chicas wear much more than skimpy bikinis. The only nudity is when there is a wardrobe malfunction which I'm convinced some chicas do on purpose. Just like Janet Jackson did. My friend calls this a "no strip" club. For me, a wardrobe malfunction which allows a slight glimpse of nipple or panocha ends up being much more exciting than a nude club with girls laying spread eagle on stage giving gyno shows. $10 lap dances are very decent but during crowded times they have a security crew of rabid dogs who behave like they'll rip you to shreds for stealing a gentle caress. It isn't easy to keep your hands to your side in the 21st century where most strip clubs openly tolerate mutual molestation. But clubs serving alcohol are under the Nazi watch of the ABC who threaten their liquor licenses for such crimes of passion.
You can socialize and buy booze for the chicas here with no commission over the price of your own drink. So the best way to "work it with some of the ladies" is to drink with them, build confianza, get the numero, and make a date on the outside. In that way the club operates as a better option than Hostess Clubs because the drinks are alcoholic, and even better than ficha bars because you don't get "ficha fucked" on the muchacha's drink price.
BTW, especially during prime time, not all the chicas are thick. Definitely some flacitas and spinners. Difficult to get quality time though during prime time because the place is packed.
Also, don't go on Saturday nights prime time if there's any kind of interesting boxing program being broadcast because they charge an extra cover and shut down the normal action (stage and lap dancing) because the crowd is there for the fight. Go early or later, keeping in mind that as a booze club, the place is shut tight by 2AM unlike no-booze nude strip clubs which stay open until dawn or close to it on weekends.
Glad to see this report from Raider because I haven't dropped into the AS for awhile and I'm reminded that I'm due to drop back in.

Both of the girls that have me dances popped out nipple during the dances and let me get some suction going. The second girl kept positioning herself so I can slide a finger in down low so that worked nice. I'm going to stick to during the week day shift because those will give a little more action than the other girls. Plus I love the thickness on them. Hips and ass is what I'm about LOL. Like I said I had fun and I will be back

Sams
[QUOTE=Fiasco26;1634169]Just left Sams. All info is correct here. Alcohol will presume on Jan 9th[/QUOTE]I got the skinny on what happened. Allegedly, one of the waitresses at Sam's was slinging dope on the side, and after a couple of warnings from the ABC, they suspended the liquor license when the gall was busted.
Now, until they start selling booze again, it's a sad little joint. Gustavo the bartender is reduced to offering NA beers and soft drinks. Not happy.
Meantime, I hear the management at Sams is firing Sam's dancers who they see working at Dames and Games down the street. Totally unfair, and like shooting yourself in the foot. The dancers need to make a living, and BTW they are why we come to Sam's in the first place. Duh.

She's scared to go work anywhere else.

Dancers are treated poorly, and the management spends some effort to discover if they are dancing at other clubs, and if they are, fires them. Makes no fucking sense. But I suspect the folks who run strip clubs aren't rocket surgeons.

Sams is a cool bar for a drink and some titties, but nothing too special IMO.
How is dames? I took a peak one day but it seemed too upscale and low mileage.

It's pretty corporate in feel, owned by the Spearmint Rhino folk. Very fancy deco. A huge and noisy place, with a very large stage room and another room that's all sports bar. And another one that's a separate private club in the same building, I'm told. No cover, and drinks were cheap. Different crowd than Sam's for sure, whiter and more upscale. I hung out with an ex-Sam's waitress for a while, didn't really stay long enough to pursue lapdances, there were few hot gals there at the time, even if the place was packed.

Dames used to be scores?
Do they serve liquor here?
I heard they lost their liquor license.
Is this a topless bar only? No nudity?

If you go early enough they have a special going on for 3-4 bucks you get a burger, fries and light beer. I've only been there around noonish and the girls haven't really started to dance but its a cool sports bar attached.

COI Comparison
I generally go to COI for strip clubs. Never really ventured into the L. A. Area much when concerning these. However, I used to go to two different strip clubs in the Monrovia area that I liked a lot. Both have closed down and now there is a topless bar there that is sort of okay. I don't mind topless bars with low mileage at times. What I love is finding girls who haven't stripped for very long. I like them a lot. I have a friend who taught me well on finding them or seeking them out and, in-turn, corrupting them a bit.
However when it comes to the comparison to COI to L. A. Strip clubs I don't have much reference. Sometimes I like to go to places where I know there is high mileage. COI during the day is a near guarantee. You nearly have to be deaf and dumb to miss it. L. A, I'm just not sure and often love reading the reports here to compare.
I do wish Monrovia's were still open but they just don't seem to stick in that area for whatever reason. Glendale has one, but it's low mileage.
