Strip Club Reports

[Choir Boy]

I'm usually active in the Boston. Lowell corridor, but I drive through Vernon about twice a month. What is the price for a normal lap dance at this place? Is there any semblance of privacy?

Well, since no one responded, I decided to check out the place for myself. I was driving though Vernon yesterday in the early evening. I pulled off Rt 84 and looked up Lucky's on my phone. I know Sunday is not a big strip club day, but Yelp listed Lucky's as open, closing at 2:00 AM. I plugged the address into my GPS and off I went. I arrived about 6:30 in the evening.

When I got there, there was an unusually big parking lot with exactly 2 cars parked. The signage was confusing. One sign indicated a strip club; another indicated a restaurant. There were a few lights blinking on the building, but there was no definitive indication that the place was open. That, and only 2 cars in a massive parking lot, convinced me to keep driving.

Went Friday.

It's much cleaner and more upscale looking. Dancers were okay, more AA than Hispanic like before. Maybe 8 girls working at 10 PM could be they're still looking for dancers.

$10 cover. Routinely quoted $35 dance or $180 VIP for 15-20 minutes.

The lap dance room you could read a book in it's so bright. No fun to be had there. Didn't do VIP. Was offered takeout.

It's not the Blue if VIP is standard fare, and it has work to do to be as good as other local standard club options.

How much was the takeout and did she have an in call?

Post on Instagram says they are opening Thursday 1/22 12 pm.

Here's the ad from Insta. Judging from the Insta handles mentioned in the ad, and the replies on Insta, it looks like the club may be a bit "ghetto" -- like a Providence club. I'll give it a fair shake though.

The Den has posted a video of their dancers on their Instagram page.

Saw this posted on their farcebook page.

Hello everyone, my name is Jay, and I am proud to introduce myself as the NEW owner of the plaza where The Den, formerly known as Electric Blue, is located. I recently relocated to this great town and am aware of concerns regarding the history of this location under the previous ownership.

Let me be clear, the businesses operating in this plaza, including The Den, are now under completely NEW ownership and management. The former owners and any activities previously associated with this location have no connection to the new businesses. I have zero tolerance for any illegal activity, and I am committed to ensuring that all establishments on the property operate with professionalism, integrity, and respect for the community.

I encourage everyone to judge The Den and the plaza by the new standards we are setting not by the past. This is a fresh start, and we are here to raise the bar. I am confident that our presence will be a positive reflection on the community, and I look forward to earning your trust and support.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.

Their latest posts say they have a full liquor license, an adult entertainment license and the renovations are done. They say they are hiring dancers and staff.

[Doggy Boy]

I'll believe that they are open when I see it. Renovations are taking ridiculously long. I wonder if they have all of their state and local permitting in place?

I hear from reliable sources that they are getting their balls busted by the State and the Town, and the process has been elongated by many months. Not a good omen. This is no surprise given the history at that location. Apparently, there has been a demand for cameras everywhere inside the joint, and it's unlikely to be women brought up from the 305 area code as first suggested. My sense is the hype and the risk will greatly exceed the reality, unfortunately.

I'm not holding my breath for this place to make a positive splash like EB.

The Den is posting on Instagram that they are going to have auditions soon.

They keep posting videos on Instagram and Facebook. One video on Facebook shows the the Men's Room finally has doors on the toilets.

The Den is showing open on Google maps. Has anyone been? Are the lap dances like the blues?

I stopped at the Mobil station nearby last night (Saturday Sept. 6) and saw the place was dark and the parking lot nearly empty.
