[QUOTE=Tarius Shinobi; 1887631]Greetings Gentlemen,
I would like to know the status of 3 venues in The Hood:
1. The Barbary Coast [ Gardena ]
2. King Henry The 8th [Hawthorne ]
3. Charlie's [ Florence near Crenshaw Blvd. ]
Are these clubs still open for business?
If, so, what about the quality of entertainment [ The Dancers ]?[/QUOTE]1. Barbary Coast. I haven't been to the Coast in probably 2 or 3 years now. They have always had good looking women at the Coast though, I think its because its damn near impossible to get extras there.
2. King Henry The 8th. I was there about a month ago, I plan on showing up this Sunday for the NFL games. On an average shift you will see an 8 walking around. You will also see a 4 walking around, the rest will probably be in the low 7 to high 6 range, so the average is about a 7. The ladies discreetly aim to please if they know you.
3. Charlie's. I was there about a month ago. The variation in the quality of dancers at Charlies is AMAZING! On an average shift you will see an 8 walking around. You will also usually see at least one 4 walking around (sometimes two of them) , the rest will probably be in the low 7 to high 6 range. Now Charlie's is a pasties club so sometimes you will see a solid 9 there. I usually ask these types what the hell are they doing at Charlie's and its always either one of two reasons. #1 They want to dance but they don't want to do nude or even topless. #2. They got kicked out of the Coast, Starz, KH8 or wherever for a rules violation (e. g. Too much drinking or got caught on her knees taking a facial). The dances at Charlies are $20, which is higher than any of the other clubs. They are done on little booths located at the far end of the bar.
The cool thing about Charlie's is, Charlie's is a ghetto strip club that KNOWS its a fucking GHETTO STRIP CLUB. If a dancer has been working at Charlies for longer than a month, she's willing to do extras either in the club, outside the club or both. And she will find a way to let you know. They have this little potted plant kind tree thing they move in front of the booth for privacy, that Charlies' dancer give you a hell of a ride and the cool thing is, you can look over her shoulder and still see the girl on-stage while she's doing it. Of course, like any other club, this treatment is very likely a lot easier to get if you are a semi regular like myself. Just to further illustrate the ghetto-ness of Charlie's there have been SEVERAL times I was in there at about say 11:30 at night and a dancer has complained to me that she barely made enough money to cover her shift, she would sit nest to me at the bar and and me to buy her a drink and I do. The next thing you know that hand is on my lap and she says something like. ...
"Hey, you know I'm $10 short on my stage fee. If you pay my stage fee and have an extra $100 to spend we can go have some fun." (You will note there is a no tell motel on the very next block.)
This has happened to me 7 times with 6 different dancers over the years.
