Strip Club Reports

I stopped by earlier this week and no I'd scan. It was around 5-6 though. It's exactly the same as I remember it being so that is nice. Low key and not crowded at all. Only a few girls which is expected at that time. I had 4 or 5 dances with a nice Latina in pig tails but I didn't get her name. She was fun. Nothing crazy but easy going and I enjoyed it. Still keeping my fingers crossed that the good spots go back to normal one day. Wishful thinking probably.

[QUOTE=Chicagorfp;5308686]Just an FYI. The last time I went to Carl's about a month ago it was after midnight and their door security was looking to scan eveyrone's license or ID with a handheld scanner when they collected the cover charge and did the security patdown. I went back and re-read my original report from March (post 1006 in this thread) and it seems that they at least ask you before they do the scan.

Anyway, we just can't seem to escape these scanners--I don't like them one bit as it's yet another risk factor one must weigh. The first time I ever experienced that was at Kappa Kabanna down near Bloomington-Normal a few years back: the person in the security booth asked for my license and then they walked across their booth to, unbeknownst to me, scan it. Before I could object the deed was done. Oh well. Going forward in my strip club reviews I think I'll be sure to highlight whether or not they scan (in the pros and cons) for people's increased awareness.[/QUOTE]

How many of those jack shacks are still opened on Lake and North? I was on lake recently in Addison and didn't see any. Use to see a lot.

Anyone if they are sticking to their normal hours? Assuming being one of the only games in town would bring talent from the other Melrose places. Trying to visit after lunch time if they haven't changed their hours.

I don't question any of the strip club reports. I simply find it depressing. They are actually packed without any dancing? Hell, I can get a cold beer at any bar! That's not why I ever went to strip clubs or dance bars!

The answer would be NO, it was me and one dancer in the whole place. Like you said, I can drink just blocks from home and don't need to drive to Melrose for a drink.

I had a fun time on my afternoon visit: look out for Brooke, Lena, and Naima.

All it takes is a couple drinks in her and her craziness comes up. But seeing how she is working at All Stars, I will just have to wait to she heads back North.

Dropped off someone at O'Hare late this morning so since I was half way to Bobby's I decided to check it out. I have read the latest reviews but I stopped. Got there a about noon, 3 guys and that was it. Got a beer and hit 300 on the slot machine. Went to the bar dropped off my beer, left a tip. She asked how I did and I told her I lost. Sad, but what are you going to do.

I was hoping that by the next holiday this month things would change.

Hoping there has been some changes on the strip. I miss my trips, but I'm 40 minutes away, and would like some fresh intel. Before I drive out. Thanks if anyone has any updates.

They have a cover but not sure if it's only on the weekends. A lot of the girls from J's & Bobbys now dance there. Nothing stellar, just a typical lingerie bar with low mileage dances.

Bobbys has made the transition to a regular bar pretty well. Weekends get a good crowd & some of the J's dancers hang out there but just to get free drinks. No dances, maybe takeout but I have not found that to be the case.

Louie's is trying to make it as a club scene place, with VIP tables & bottle service, but no dancers or contact etc. Not to mention the bartenders have become absolutely mean. I saw one snap at a guy for pausing to decide what he wanted to drink. On one of my visits, I could not take the attitude of the bartender so I left & went to Bobbies. Saw 3 guys that did the exact same thing. I know they are losing money with the loss of the dancers, but there's still customers stopping in, don't chase them away!

Rough times for sure. I've actually been getting higher mileage at Carl's lately. The half Asian / Mexican girl is a great time. I also finally found my huge booty Latina. I guess she never left but was only working weekends and I'm always stopping in during the week. I have the # for both so will see how that plays out. I really just want Louies back. The dances and all that were great but I loved the atmosphere as well. My fingers are still crossed that something changes.
