Strip Club Reports

Gentlemen, Bobby's has hit a new low. I was in the area recently & decided to make a stop in to see if there were any familiar faces. It was relatively busy with most of the seats at the bar taken & people playing pool, slots etc. That cute little Latina bartender that used to work at J's was working behind the bar shaking her can for tips (fully clothed of course). There were a few familiar faces, some of the girls that used to dance there hang out when she's tending bar. At first I thought that might be a good thing, wow was I wrong. One of them approached me & asked for a drink. She was not at all anyone I'd have wanted to spend time with but I figured maybe I could get the low down from her (MISTAKE! She went into this sob story how she can't pay rent etc etc etc. Then she started with the begging for a tip & even pretty much said that the customers need to support the former dancers. I politely pointed out that a lot of places are hiring & many of the other dancers are working regular jobs now, & she went into all kinds of double talk at that comment. I realized she wasn't about to back off so I slid her a 5 to get her off my back. She wasn't happy with that amount but realized that's all I was going to give up.

At that point I saw an empty chair further down the bar next to a cute petite AA former dancer that I recognized. I sat down & said hello (MISTAKE #2). We chatted for a bit, just basic "how have you been" etc & I bought her a drink. About 5 minutes later, the dude sitting on the other side of her sticks his nose into the conversation & tells me I need to "tip the lady". I thought he was joking & he made it VERY clear that he expected me to tip her for her time. Now keep in mind, we're talking about 5 minutes & basic "what have you been up to" type conversation. Now this dude was a very large framed thug type & I was feeling quite intimidated. At that point someone came up to him & started a conversation. I took that distraction as an opportunity to get out of there. The Irony is, I would likely have tipped her as she was one I liked to get dances from & I was hoping to see where it could go, but I don't like being strong armed.

If that's not bad enough, at one point, that train wreck Dana/Dayna walks in. Turns out, they're allowing her to hang out & hustle guys for whatever she can. For those of you that don't know her, avoid at all cost. She's a complete scam artist.

Since this happened, I've asked around & apparently the girls are doing this when they feel they can get away with it. The former J's bartender is friends with all these girls & lets them do what they want. I don't know if this is the norm, but that one time is enough to keep me out of there. Prior to this visit, I had not been there in a couple months & I don't plan to go there any time soon. What a crap hole Bobby's has become.

I am just glad you got out ok and no one tried something in the parking lot or to your car. I don't like that location because it's a big a** parking lot and the place is kinda in that little corner. Also it was reported (by you not sure?) that carl's has become a gang place. Yea dudes hanging around while I am chatting up a girl I am interested in and saying oh you need to tip her. That does not work. I would have done the same. Just get gone. Sounds like the vultures are out! They are never going to go into legit work because they are too lazy and don't want to be told what to do when. That is why they are "dancers" of sorts. So it's probably a double edged sword meaning that the girls and the club know that we don't have many if any options and they don't have as many place to hustle so they are getting very aggressive. That just does not work for me. And I have plenty of mad cash to spend on the right situation, however no a dude is not going to tell me how to spend it!! Stosh be safe fellaz summer time! Hot, hot, hot! Peace.

Plus I was hoping for a nice chair massage from Jeanie. Walked in and all there was a couple of guys playing the slot machines and one other guy sitting at the bar. There was not one girl in the place except for the bartender.

I left after one drink and headed up the street and noticed that Carl's lot was full, but after reading about gang bangers there decided just to go home. Was tempted to try All Stars but I just can't get over that whole scanning of I'd's.

More like a letting me know it was expected. I'm pretty sure he was a boyfriend / driver / manager? It just made me uncomfortable with the situation, enough so that I took the opportunity to remove myself from the situation before it got ugly. It's just such poor business practice. I went in with a couple hundred bucks in my pocket & would have parted with it for the right situation. Instead, I left after 10-15 minutes.

As far as the one "begging" for tips. She just seems lazy. Too lazy to go get a real job. In her double talk, it came across that a real job would mean no more sitting & drinking all day. I guess I can scratch Bobby's off my list of places to visit. I'm realizing that my hobbying days are pretty much over.

I know also that generally the guys that post on here have the cash to spend, however just don't want to be hustled. Intimidating or not boyfriend, driver or not (and I have hired security guys and drivers when I was booking this type of talent back when I first started) the girl has to control this situation. If she intends to do business and why the f**k else would she be there? Some dude coming up and telling me to tip the lady or even suggesting that is more than a reason for me to leave with my money. Like you said you would have parted with a couple of benjamins for the right situation. These people are just too fu*kin dumb to realize that their actions and lack of finesse are costing them cash! Stosh thanks for this report mayor!

[QUOTE=Gurukkk12;5905259]Hey everyone,

It's been awhile since my last post. Stopped in by Carls this afternoon for the first time in a year. I'm sitting at the bar with my beer and looking at my phone, when ruby stops by asking if I want a dance. Seeing that I just got there I said come back in 15 minutes. She comes back we go for a dance, nice dance with plenty of grinding and touching. We're done I go back to the bar have a another beer and look at my phone. Couple of girls stop by and I said no to their offer.

When I first walked in I noticed a husky dude with a shirt that has security on it. There's another Hispanic sitting by the music is, another sitting at the end of the bar and a 3rd one at a table behind the bar stools. None had drinks, all sitting alone. I seen this before at Jays before the shooting. The gangs have taken over Carls. Later in the evening I get a text from an # I don't recognize. It says that he was a member of a Mexican drug cartel and that I was bothering his girls, and that I would pay with blood if I ignored his message. Says he knows where I live and information about my family. I don't know how they got to my phone, it never left my side.

Any body hear of any thing like this? Today I got a call from a no caller ID #, I did not answer. Any thoughts?

If you PM I will tell you the name of the cartel / gang. I didn't post since I figured the man would delete it. I googled it and it legit.[/QUOTE]That the entire area including many of the kid type parks have an infestation of gangs and assorted scum. One of the local "over seers" as I like to call them has several village jobs in security in melrose, unincorporated leyden and the surrounding little villages. He said they are hanging, tagging and generally being mopes all over the area. To the point that melrose just installed a brand new kids park and the garbage scumbags have already gang tagged the diaper changing beds for the moms to change their babies! It's a jungle and imo these animals want to act like they are in a zoo need to be caged! Stosh stay safe.

Thanks for the insight. It will be a while before I stop in there or even Bobby's again, not that there is much going on these days.

Maybe they got your info from you license plate on you car when you left. Especially if they have an 'in' with LE.

It's funny because I have been hoping that the activity along Mannheim was coming back. But this may put an end to it all for me.

Bill.

A lot of legit bars do it, too. It's my experience that they run a pretty tight ship at All Stars, so getting caught up in a Js type situation, although certainly possible, is unlikely, so it'll probably never come into play or be used. I'm not criticizing your opinion; just politely disagreeing.

Do a Google search for Smart Phone Spying Software. The scary things in the movies and tv shows have once again become reality. Someone can steal your phone info by just sitting next to you in a bar.

Stay safe in the area, fellaz. Dart's family is all over around the area especially very recently around the no tels (the waterbed one). There is a ton of homeless at the corners all along heim. Some of that is dart's jurisdiction. Just a lot and I mean a lot more of all colors and creeds with signs.

What a crap hole Bobby's has become.[/QUOTE]This story confirms a lot of my suspicions about the area that I posted in another thread (even mentioned Dana there as well, I'll bet hands down we are talking about the same girl. Dana "The runner" I know that bartender you are talking about as well. She's absolutely gorgeous but interacting with her is maddening because she's a money sponge for nothing in return. Just like you said. Comes up and bops up and down or shakes her (admittedly amazing) ass and expects a dollar every time. Also, the guy you are talking about who demanded you tipped sounds like this guy that used to hang out with Monica (white, middle aged red-head, very demur but hard-nosed and not desirable much at all). If it's the same guy he used to slough around with her as sort of a phony, make-shift thug. We humored him when we all hung out, but if it came down to it the guy had no right being loud to anyone outside of the fact that you know he's carrying something. He aint going to push back just with his hands.

I actually haven't been to Bobby's probably since late 2019 now. Still not entirely sure what happened to J's. Back to Dana. She's actually great and sexy as all hell when she is baselined. But when she's manic or hopped up she's a nut and wants to put people in headlocks and whatnot. Crazy. Also wonder whatever happened to "Ashley / Angela" - legit pretty Italian girl. She was the Mannheim scenes best kept secret. Swore she only danced, but it was the best kept lie on the street. For enough money she'd get in a car with someone and disappear. Worth every dollar though.

The Mannheim lingerie bar scene in general is a sad state of affairs these days. The glory days seem to be so far gone now, at least 10-12 years removed. I think it's only a matter of time before Bobby's and Carl's are shut down and don't have dancers anymore as well. I long for the days of the bars like One Step Beyond on Lake St. And even Louie's which closed down. I drive thru there once every so often and it looks totally different than it used to. Almost like a ghost town. I think the seediness was a big part of the allure.

For 15+ years I loved being able to take a short drive to the strip to visit whichever bar was giving me the most attention at the time. Whether it was Bobby's, the old Bobby's, or the old old Bobby's on Lake street, along with Louie's and J's, always exciting to see who was working, who was walking in to work after you got settled, which girls surprised you with how liberal they were with their hands (and other body parts) during dances and who gave out there numbers with ease and were actually up for OTC.

It all just ended five minutes ago but for many of us it really is sad, it was a part of our lives, mine part of my work-day once ever other week. To potentially make a new friend on every trip, and many times, some really freaky friends who were not afraid to show it to the right person.

Where to now?

Now the deeper they drive the girls with government interference the more of a clip joint and rip off and violent atmosphere you get rather than fun, naked chicks and a seedy atmosphere.

Is Carl's the only bikini bar still open or did that close, too?

[QUOTE=Scott40;6055752]Is Carl's the only bikini bar still open or did that close, too?[/QUOTE]Yes, Carls is the last remnant of what used to be a very active scene. It continues to operate because it's in Stone Park as opposed to all the others that were in Melrose Park. Bobby's is still open but does not have dancers anymore due to Melrose passing the 'Dancer Ban' ordinance. A few people have hinted at some private locations popping up but I do not know of any in that area. If anyone has info on these to share, I'd appreciate a private message.

FYI. Louies is now Madusas. Open for business but no girls working the hustle.

Just wondering, has anybody been to Madusas since it opened? Is it an okay place to catch a drink or two?

I heard that was was going on for years at the bars was because of a guy named Steve / Stevie who I've heard some refer to as "the biggest loser", is that true? Is he the main reason why the bars are shut down for good now?

[BLUE]Can we not mix the never fucking ending political stupidity with the looking for pussy to smash?

I don't give a fuck what color dildo you prefer having shoved up your ass (red or blue), just keep it off the forum.

Is there a backstory I am missing? The only place I know of that's still active is All Stars in McCook and that's quite a ways from Mannheim and lake Street. I definitely miss the old days. I have hope that there will be plenty more fun to be had.

He had fallen in "love" & started stalking both in person as well as online. He was making daily posts dragging her through the mud after she rejected him. I don't think he ever posted on this site because that type stuff isn't tolerated here. He was eventually arrested & put away for a while on an unrelated matter. Out of respect, I won't mention her name & I don't think she dances anymore. It was talked about in the bars a lot but that was about 10 or more years ago if I recall.

That had nothing to do with the bars closing as it was so long ago. The shooting at J's is what lead to the dancer ban. That has been discussed at great length over the past couple years. If you'd like to read back on the topic, go back about 13 pages to Oct / Nov of 2020, starting around posts mid 950's.

The only bar in the Mannheim area with dancers is Carls (because it's in Stone Park not Melrose).

Not privy to the convo regarding this person, however "falling in love with a dancer" is the beginning of the end imo! Has anyone else seen "dumb and dumber". I have done and said some crazy things in my long life, however after dealing with the element in my professional life when I first got started in a related business, never made that mistake not even once! Thanks to all for at least picking up the thread. Been so dead around here. Stosh.

The only bar in the Mannheim area with dancers is Carls (because it's in Stone Park not Melrose).[/QUOTE]I actually knew that dude and used to talk to him often at Carl's back around the 2005-2010 or so time period. He was a semi-regular there, we played pool often and he was actually fairly cool whenever I talked to him. The dancer he became obsessed with went by the name of Cindy but he was going through some serious family issues at the time and she seriously led him on to believe she was interested. He never, ever stalked her in person and only made a ton of posts online because he had a serious breakdown from all of the stress he was dealing with at the time. A lot of that was seriously blown out of proportion but I could see why with some of the posts that he made. He was locked up for a bit and learned from it. Last I heard about a year ago from a friend, he had been back in his right mind for several years and is working a regular job. He told me that Steve told him that he really regretted what he did saying he made a total fool of himself and is glad that a lot of the posts are gone now from the strip club site.

I quit the Mannheim scene after the J's shooting and after Louie's stopped having dancers. Is Carl's actually the only bar left still open with dancers? Haven't been to Carl's in at least 5 years and I much preferred it when it was the old building. I heard that the rest of the bars are gone now.

The actual strip clubs et al are all still there of course. J's tried a regular bar / restaurant and from what I saw it came and went quickly. What was the old playpen has been a mexican type place. The real issue with anyone opening up a quick in and out restaurant is that the street is very busy during the week and most all of that traffic is commercial. Now even if one had great food there is absolutely no where to pull of, grab a bite and get back on one's route with a truck of most sizes, let alone a big rig. Even that popular place at the north west corner of lake and heim I see big rigs straddle the middle lane, jump in for a bag and get back to their truck. Right now there is a lot of construction right there which makes it much worse. I understand uncle louie's is now also a restaurant or bar. So yea as reported here it's carls and from what I understand it's kind of gang banger ish so buyer beware. On another note bodies in egv at elmhurst and touhy is open and looks from the outside remodeled. Good luck and be safe all.

Haven't been to Heavenly Bodies in at least 10 years since the hot Eastern Euro girls were there. Have you ever been to the 15th Ave bookstore in Melrose? It is very hit or miss (mostly miss) but I've had a couple of good experiences there before. Recently witnessed a semi-hot chick getting gangbanged there.

Met a few really good looking ladies. One in particular was from ireland. The other I think Polish, however she did not have the documents to remain in the country and was gone. Several african american girls as well. I did run into that irish girl again. From what I see on the outside they did clean things up though. As far as 15th it has been reported if you can follow I believe their twitter feed and get there immediately things can get interesting. Mostly what I have been told there are a lot of d**k smokers lurking around, inside and in the parking lot, however also straight horn dogs that get very aggressive when a woman comes in usually accompanied by a male escort that agrees to have her lady drilled by various strangers. So yea I think it is the luck of the draw, however I have also heard that the organized parties can be good for activity.

A lot of them act like virgins who have never seen a woman nude before. Saw a "handler" bring in his girl last week and she was swarmed immediately in the room with the table. There had to have been 20 guys around her and one even started eating her ass. LOL! Crazy but I still like going there on occasion because you never know who will show up. Saw an amateur porn star there one time. I had a tranny try to grab my dick one time while I was watching a gangbang and I said "no thanks" LOL.

Chickened out. Maybe I will show one day. The organized parties seem to be at least more tame at the start I would imagine. Yea though heard the same thing. Once a female comes in it's flies on s**t and guys are bumping into you with their dicks. Ahhh no thanks. You got to give it to the women that actually walk into the place though. Knowing full well it's infested with everything. Oh I also heard the place is not exactly the most sanitary either.

I just received the word that the Village of Melrose has closed Bobby's down. I checked with a couple people I know & it is in fact true. I do not know the full story or if this is permanent. I do know that the order to close was due to violation of a city ordinance, apparently there is a sticker on the door stating so (if in the area I may check out what it says out of curiosity). I do know that a few of the former dancers would occasionally hang out doing shoulder rubs for cash. Maybe the village thought that fell within the dancer ban or its possible one of them went too far, these are just guesses though. It could also be a liquor / hours violation. Whatever it is, it will be interesting to see if they re-open.

If I don't see it from you I will cruise by and take a look at what is says. On another note that apartment complex that looks like a no tel from the past on the east side of heim say just south of that speedway (I believe or thorntons no the new place so speedway) had those orange signs on all the apartments over the weekend. Which must have meant the place was condemned. Then the next day they were gone so who knows WTF was happening there. Place is trashy with lots of abandoned cars and truck parking as it's south end view. The whole street has gone way downhill imo.
