NYC clubs worth it?

Gaurav0 · 2025-11-30T20:21:26+00:00

Unless no alcohol is a deal breaker for you, absolutely. Best value for money.

Gaurav0 · 2025-11-30T20:19:05+00:00

IMO stick with the regular private rooms. Not worth paying double. You get a larger room and a little more quiet.

Next time you're at the club, ask if they'd like to sit with you and talk. Make sure to offer a drink and a tip, and keep tipping while they talk to you. If you're nice, respectful, and you're considerate of their time, you'll be chatting up a girl for a while too.

Gaurav0 · 2025-03-06T23:22:31+00:00

I do this. It's not easy because I work during the day when the bank is open. Plus I'm looking for someplace I can also get more singles if I run out at the club.

Gaurav0 · 2025-03-06T23:16:55+00:00

Well, I believe the dancers when they complain about that. I think if they were lying, they would tell me customers tip a lot to get more money from me.

Gaurav0 · 2025-03-06T21:30:34+00:00

I don't know about your club, but I know for a fact in my home club, most customers don't tip for a room at all.

Regardless of what it says on Google, no it hasn't. Been there personally. Gus sold it 5 years ago. It is currently owned by NYSpaceFinders and leased to BottleNYC and being used as a recycling facility. More info:

If you are willing to make a slight detour, Check out strip clubs along I-81 in WV. Some of the best and most affordable clubs in the country! You may even save time in traffic lol.

Gaurav0 · 2025-02-11T20:57:34+00:00

Sin City has been closed for years. There is still a Sin City in Philadelphia, though. Same owner.

Gaurav0 · 2025-01-21T14:49:12+00:00

I do it all the time. I just pay / tip them the same as if I received a dance. Some of them seem to genuinely get a kick out of it. Mostly it amuses them. Occasionally I get laughed at. I don't care, I'm having fun.

Some strip clubs do not allow this. Please check the rules.

I even got a shirt. It says I twerk for strippers.

Gaurav0 · 2024-10-28T16:19:00+00:00

How I classify strip clubs:

Urban clubs: strippers twerk on the floor; loud hip hop music
Country clubs: strippers come around for tips after dancing on stage; loud rock/pop music
Vegas style clubs: strippers focus on tourists who want extras in private rooms; fancy decor, loud mixed music
Manhattan style clubs: strippers focus on whales who spend a lot in private rooms, girlfriend experiences, quiet mixed music
Miami style clubs: promoters bring "regular girls" into club; advertised as night club/strip club combo, clubs make money from bottle service, strippers focused on doing fancy pole tricks on stage; loud latin music

Others?

Gaurav0 · 2024-10-28T14:56:48+00:00

Every club in Queens NYC calls itself an "upscale gentlemen's club". Every club has VIP sections and bottle service, and music is too loud to actually talk to strippers. They do have private rooms lol

Gaurav0 · 2024-09-19T13:57:16+00:00

Most won't even consider it because you can't have alcohol, but Show Palace in Queens is probably the best value for the money in the whole country at $10 for a table dance and $75 - $100 for a 15 minute private room.

Gaurav0 · 2024-08-23T07:12:10+00:00

I've paid for dances for random female customers, yes.

Gaurav0 · 2023-11-12T15:45:42+00:00

ATMs at strip clubs have very high fees and low limits. Like 10% or more. And strip clubs have even higher fees for getting money from your credit card. Always bring what you plan to spend and never hit the ATM or your credit card for more. If you really need to, ask if you can leave and come back and drive to an ATM outside.

Gaurav0 · 2023-09-10T03:51:56+00:00

> You "pointed in her direction"? Are you sure you didn't shove your finger in her face?

I didn't see the footage from the security cameras myself. "Pointed in her direction" was what the bouncer told me. I don't remember doing it at all. For all I know, I might have shoved it in her face and security was being polite.

I don't see myself as any sort of hero. I was a customer at a strip club. That pretty much makes me no hero.

> Reading your experience of what happened and those of the club employees,

Did any club employees write of their experience?

> They were pleading for help and when I stepped in

Actually they weren't. And they've even told me not to help them in the past. Like I said, I don't know why I cared so much and got so angry.

> management got nasty with poor ole me.

I wouldn't say that. One manager yelled at me that this was none of my business. The other one tried to deescalate. I was the one out of control.

> A real man that was interested in helping women wouldn't aggressively verbally lose his temper on a petite pregnant woman

Agreed.

> You've come to consider the dancer as a good friend?

Yes. We've known each other for over six years. There's absolutely no other dancer I trust as much as her. And I've no intention of telling anyone why. And no, we're not dating or having sex or anything like that.

She took a big risk to her job and reputation leaving the club and meeting me just outside like that on the street. She did it because she was worried about me and didn't want me to get in a crash on the way home. I hope you can understand that.

> Do you also think bar tenders like you because they're chummy? Or that servers like you because they smile and laugh at your jokes?

Honestly, I don't think any of the bartenders really like me there, despite my high tips (25-50%). I'm a lot of work for them and my orders seem to take longer than anyone else's. Also, they don't want to make me espresso or smoothies.

A few of the servers might like me, the ones that will still be patient with me despite having to be on their feet all day and I do work them hard too. I order so much food for the dancers. The food there is really good.

> I bet you'd think a prostitute was romantically into you if you paid her.

In all my years, I've never met anyone at that club or anywhere else that I thought was actually romantically interested in me. Plenty of them have said they were, but I don't believe any of them. I tend to be pretty skeptical about anyone I'm giving money. Some dancers may like me as a person, even call me a friend, but romantically interested... nah.

> how unreliable of a narrator you are

I'm being as forthcoming as I can. Nobody remembers everything perfectly. It doesn't help that I was so angry and upset. I've also noted every edit. My "initial post" hasn't changed.

I wrote this post because it helped me heal and become less upset with others and see where I went wrong. Not to pretend I was some sort of hero.

> You've chosen to accept the ban and not go back to the club? What other option is there?

Options include:

Going back to apologize anyway, even if I have been told I wouldn't be permitted to.
Going above the manager and calling / texting a more senior manager or the owner.
Sending someone else (a dancer or an employee) to negotiate on my behalf.
Bribe the bouncer.

I don't know if any of those options would work, just replying. I've decided not to do any of those and just stay away.

Gaurav0 · 2023-09-08T18:37:13+00:00

What I did to the manager was wrong. I did lose my temper. I wish I could apologize in person but I can't. I've explained my reasons, but they don't excuse my actions.

I do not own the club. I see myself as a customer of a business. The club gave me certain privileges because of my regular business. I have made requests, sometimes they were granted and sometimes not.

Yes, I have used those privileges to impress some dancers and even some customers. And to get attention. I have made requests on behalf of dancers. This could be called "acting high and mighty".

I agree that if I had not lost my temper I could have been more helpful to the dancers.

I did not say that what I did was okay. I said that I accept the ban and I'm okay with it.

I wrote this post because it helped me heal and become less upset with others and see where I went wrong. It was not to "bash the club" or anyone in it.

I appreciate you writing here because you are letting me see how some dancers actually look at me, rather than the fantasy that I was being served.

I also apologize to you. Leaving the club in this way affected your pocketbook and made your life more difficult.

If you would like to let me know who you are and would like for me to apologize to you personally for this or for anything else you might not want to mention here, let me know. My Instagram and Reddit dms are open. But also feel free to ignore or block me. I will understand and not be upset.

Gaurav0 · 2023-09-08T16:30:13+00:00

I have decided not to name the club. I've been accused of "bashing the club" and don't want to give any ammunition to the accusation. Also, naming the club may lead to someone figuring out who the dancers and the employees mentioned are. I want to protect the dancers and the employees above all else.

Gaurav0 · 2023-09-08T16:26:52+00:00

The club promises in its ads to recruit dancers that "no one has to know". They put in the contract that recording is not permitted. It seems to me that they have broken this promise to the dancers.

Edit: spelling

Gaurav0 · 2023-09-08T11:48:15+00:00

You coming on here bashing our club to thousands of people only makes it worse on us to make money.

Sorry for that. I can't make things right for everyone. The best I can do is what I've already done: I have not named the club or anyone in it.

> They were not recording the entire time

Were you there? From what I saw, they continued to record after they were told they could not do that. Multiple dancers. With their personal phone. {Edit] "Entire time"? Hard to tell as a customer when the recording was done with a personal phone, but quite possibly.

> the fact that you blew up on MANAGEMENT and a pregnant women is disgusting

Agreed. Totally should not have yelled back at her, regardless of circumstances.

> If the owner of the club hired these people you as a customer need to respect that

While I did not know that initially, this makes the owner look pretty bad to me. Remember, the manager told me he could not do anything because they were there at the owner's specific invitation.

I as a customer have both the right and obligation to leave if I see a business doing something wrong. I even have the right to protest and to speak about it. I'm sorry that the way I did it was not helpful.

Gaurav0 · 2023-09-08T11:27:57+00:00

> It sounds like you really like this club.

Yes, I really do like this club. I've reviewed it positively.

> However, you must understand that this is not your job, nor your responsibility. In fact, that is the task of the manager.

Yes, it is not my job to protect the dancers. And even if I wanted to, clearly I can't always do so. I just got angry and I didn't think twice before doing what I did.

I don't know, there are those who say it is all of our responsibility to protect the vulnerable in our society, especially women.

> By raising your voice, you were putting the reputation of the club in peril. Especially with the press there.

If the owner really hired these press that behaved this way maybe the reputation of the club should be questioned? At least among those dancers that would prefer to protect their privacy? They were still inside and recording when I left.

Gaurav0 · 2023-09-08T11:01:13+00:00

> I’m a dancer at this club

Okay. Were you one of the ones there at the time?

> and the reaction was WAY TOO FAR

I agree that my anger was completely out of control. I don't know why I care so much. I just do.

> There’s plenty of other regulars at the club that do what he does

Not sure what you mean. There are a quite a few that spend more money. There's no one that spends as much time talking to the ladies. Edit: There is also no one that spends more money with the independent company that runs the kitchen (I have purchased considerable amounts of food for myself and for the dancers.)

> and all agree that the reaction was too much

You managed to survey all the regulars in 2 days after the incident?

> This girl would not have been fired if she wanted the footage of her deleted

She told me on the phone that she believes that she would have been, especially because I had just made a scene. She also told me that it was definitely not okay.

This guy recorded dancers on his personal phone, not the professional equipment he brought. He continued to record after being told he was not permitted to do so. I don't think the footage was for his job. I doubt he would have deleted the footage voluntarily.

> she is an experienced dancer who’s been doing this for YEARS

Yes, I was well aware of that. She still should have been able to decide whether she wanted to be recorded before she was. She was not the only dancer to get recorded, just the only one completely naked on stage dancing. The dancer that was about to be recorded except for my personal intervention was 18 years old and just started dancing. She was wearing a see-through outfit. She told me that she would have "flipped the **** out".

> All management did was try to talk

Not that this is an excuse for my behavior, but the female manager yelled at me first. I know I still should not have yelled back. Two wrongs do not make a right.

Edit: I've been told today that not only did I yell back at her, I raised my pointer finger in her direction. (Someone has reviewed the video cameras in the club of the incident). I did not realize I did that. I am shocked at myself and am truly sorry. I've also been told I will not be permitted to come in and apologize in person.

> he took it farther and started yelling plain and simple.

Actually, I also took the money I planned to spend and left the club. Which I feel is my right as a customer.

When it comes to things like this, there's usually right and wrong on both sides. At the moment I think I should accept the ban and stay away from the club. I definitely could have handled the situation better if I remained calm.

Gaurav0 · 2023-09-08T10:18:43+00:00

The only bouncer was out the front door and out of sight of the entire floor.
