Strip Club Reports

[Alasqano]

I don't get what people are so afraid of. First of all, it's perfectly legal. Nothing illegal about fantasies. You aren't getting extras in there anyway. I mean does someone in here plan on running for office? Given "some" of the people who were just elected I think going to things like strip clubs are a non factor. I'm not exactly sure why they scan IDs but you aren't doing anything questionable by going into fantasies. If anything it ensures a better quality of dancer because most of the riff raff is afraid of getting their I'd scanned because they are paranoid someone is watching them or looking for them. It's a decent club, it's away from the block, and it's rarely overcrowded. I've even been when they have had porn stars dancing as guests and getting a private room with them has been quite a treat.

The question isn't about whether or not I'm doing anything illegal. It's a matter of privacy. You scan my I'd. What are you doing with that information? Where is it being stored? Who has access to it? Anything beyond that is completely irrelevant. Call me paranoid if you want. I really don't care. My privacy is important to me, and I treat it accordingly. I'll never understand this mentality where people are just so happy to give up their privacy for any reason so long as they "have nothing to hide" (so to speak). Other countries and even some other states have figured this out (e. G. : GDPR, VCDPA, and CCPA as a few examples).

I won't do it at a Casino. I damn sure won't do it at a random bar. I absolutely won't do it at a fucking strip club.

I asked the bouncer last night.

They scan them to keep a head count for fire dept compliance.

That's a complete load of crap from that bouncer. Do like everyone else and grab a ticker.

It also helps if someone tries to run out in a bill.

As if these places don't make people pay up front if they're using cash, or take a credit card otherwise?

We both got a laugh out of anyone being paranoid. As if somelnes girlfriend or wife was going to come ask to see if their man was there 🙄.

This is completely irrelevant to the point. The fact of the matter is that it's information collection. Ask the bouncer to tell you who has access to the information, how long it's retained for, who the vendor is for it, who their data partners are, and what their privacy policy is. Ask them what your right to opt out of collection of your personal information is. Ask them what your right to deletion is. Other places refer to this as "Right to be Forgotten". If none of these questions can be answered, then you're effectively handing over your information freely to them to do whatever the hell they want with, and since we have no federal privacy law related to this, and Maryland's data privacy law doesn't take effect until October 2025, there's nothing stopping them or their vendor from doing that for the time being.

They should also know that, if they can't answer those questions, they will be out of compliance with said law starting next October.

See you all in Rants and Raves when this gets inevitably moved there.

I'd bet on it being a condition of their insurance. Whenever an establishment has what seems like a draconian or seemingly arbitrary rule, it's probably related to liability. It's why only some specific dog breeds are banned from many apartment complexes that allow pets.

I don't see insurance companies investing resources to contact every bar there is to see if any of their members are going there.

[Dff 4580]

Regardless of that, I'm in agreement. No club should need to scan your license for any reason whatsoever. It's why my own visit there was a one-time thing. Even some regular bars are doing that now.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON a club needs to scan your license. If they are afraid you'll run out on a tab, make the person secure a tab with a credit card like every other bar does.

I'll NEEVR go into Fantasies as long as they scan licenses. There is simply too much risk that the bar gets hit with a subpoena.

Risk of what? It's a stripclub / bar. Nothing illegal going there.

Been going here for 20 yrs. Know all the girls and bartenders. Never a problem.

Stopped in last night for $1. 00 dos / $2. 00 import beer night. I was giving bar tender $1. 00 tip on each beer - 20 % would have only been twenty cents, just can not do that. I stayed few hours on $30.00 - was giving the dancers $1. 00 , as were most others.

$5. 00 cover charge and they still scan license. No big deal.

Surprised it was not crowded. Maybe a dozen guys there. Monday night game was on big screen so everyone sat on one side of bar to see it.

Lot of women dancing. All but one went full nude. Very nice selection of spinners, one or two more full figured. Looked like most were natural tits, I'm not big into the fake ones. Mix of white and black. All built nice.

Was asked about lap dances but funds were low. One dancer asked me to buy her a beer. Coors light. No sweat paying $1. 00. One dancer was drop dead pretty, blonde with hardly any make up. She danced in a teddy. Smoking hot.

It is a cool deal. Heard beer is $7. 00 on other nights. I have feeling take out might be on table. The dancers were not making much last night off tips.

[CanaPunter]

What's the deal with them? They are asking if I want to buy them a drink in the club or get a dance, but they apparently cannot enter the club by themselves.

The strip club scene is amazing but never diverse enough; it would be even better if it were. The women usually look stunning, and I enjoy studying their facial features more than their bodies to figure out their personalities. My last adventure to the strip club was solo. I go on missions by myself, but I've never gone to a strip club alone before.

I visited a place on Baltimore Street that I was familiar with but forgot how to get to the dancer's room, so I left to try another club. It was worth the walk.

Description of the Woman.

I'm not usually drawn to dark-skinned women, but the bartender had an amazing athletic shape with phat ass—everything about her was tight. I noticed that women with similar features often have curvy figures, like those I've seen in Brooklyn Park, like the one I saw on West Patapsco, and on Garrison. The women are amazing-looking women with decent height; they're striking at all times of the day.

(Common woman to find hear and there).

Of course, being at a strip club, you have to get a drink, which I did. There was an issue with my change, and that's when the confusing and amusing conversation started. The bartender looked as if she were losing her mind going insane, while I tried not to show any interest attempting to stay focused about my money. A dancer approached me for a dance, but I turned her down since I was in the middle of the conversation. The bartender was the best-looking one there.

I kept calm about the few dollars I had. There was a guard at the door, and since it was Baltimore, I remained composed. I walked out, frustrated, even though she was attractive. I drove around to see if any women were out in MP, got a happy hour HJ, and ended up getting distracted in my thoughts. I didn't even make it to a spot before I finished.

Anyone been to Jewel box in downtown B-more lately.

[Max #01]

I always leave my wallet (and phone for that matter) hidden in a non-obvious place in my vehicle. The only things in my pocket are my keys and the wad of cash I might spend that night.

They let you in without an Id?

My comment was more generic in nature. I'm not close enough to B'More to visit any of the clubs on a regular basis. It's bad enough when a government official scans your I'd, but at least there are some controls and safeguards in place. In a situation like this, there are no controls and safeguards.

[TheNewestGuy]

I used to spend hundreds of dollars a month at Fantasies. They used to let me in without scanning my I'd, then one day the bouncer said, "Sorry, EVERYBODY's I'd gets scanned. " I haven't been back there since. My money goes elsewhere.

Visited last week on entry the guy asked for my Id.

I gave it to him he scanned it into his system without asking.

I asked him what did he just do He said they keep a record.

Crazy I would never allowed him to do that.

Girls were not that great.

I would stay away from this place.
