Long time listener, first time caller.
I read this forum, some others, before spending an evening in Washington Park. The first strip club I ever went to was here, probably either Wise Guys or C-Mowes. Like 20 years ago. At the time there was a trailer in the parking lot that was a straight up brothel. With a fantastic trick of having you "lease the room" for an hour and whatever happened happened, I guess. I signed the lease "fred flintstone". LOL.
Anyway on a recent December night, I visited Dollie's, then Wise Guys, then Scarlett's.
Dollie's was a very quick visit. No amount of research prepared me for how skanky the place is. You can barely see in the dingy lighting, there were only 4 girls or so and a lot of guys, some with actual teeth. When you all have described going to the corrals "behind the beads", I at least expected it to be a room off to the side. Nope. I could not get my mind around this environment, so I left quickly. Three AA dancers and one white girl, none of whom really did anything for me anyway.
Wise Guys was fascinating. There were five dancers and five male patrons. Taking the stage as I entered was the absolute ugliest, fattest stripper I have ever seen anywhere. She knew it too, because she never took off clothes. Only showed some ass with a thong on during three dances. I couldn't bring myself even to sympathy tip. And perhaps because of this, none of the girls approached me the whole time I was in there. Dressed nicely, decent looking guy, drinking my beer quietly. A second girl joined the stage and now two guys were throwing singles. But blocking out everyone else's view or approach. I eventually came to the stage and threw a few singles. I didn't even get a smile for it, much less the expected gratuitous contact. The lighting was too bright, the other girls never moved a muscle, there were dirty glasses on some of the empty tables. Just gross all around. Thank you, next.
Scarlett's was a much better scene. I took a girl who was clearly a 7 or so, with fake tits but not offensively so, to one of the private lapdance areas to the right of the door. They have a smoked glass privacy door for each of these. She quickly upsold me to get more comfortable and it was all good though not cheap. At this point after the two failed stops I was ready to just get the night over with so that was probably fine but not good for the local economy. I am curious what goes on in the other various rooms and areas. $350 for 30 minutes was what the bouncer quoted and I'm sure the tip is on top of that.
If I was back in the area I'd probably just go to Scarlett's and not bother with the downmarket options. Maybe it was an off night but it just was not at all worthy of the investment.
