POPE'S BAR & GRILLE (619) 327-1902
508 E INDUSTRIAL PL PALM SPRINGS CA 92264

It is completely nude. There is only one, it serves no alcohol. It is a pit! Very small, just a 10 foot by four foot stage, very dark, and you sit by the stage or at the "bar" (about eight seats. Girls chat you up in their offtime for lap dances, in the one side room. Lap dances can be dressed, topless, or nude. Cops regularly bust the girls who work there for prostitution for their offsite deals. I was there twice in a month an both times the girls opening line to sit down was "Where are you staying?" The Best Western is walking distance, so when I told them there, they went into their pitch about coming over on break for private activity. For the record, I passed.

$100 for three dances nude.

There is one new topless bar, which serves alcohol. Upscale, with VERY ugly and fat women. You get your lap dance at your seat! In front of everyone else! Disgusting.

Club Expose is a brand new club in San Diego. Its first night was 9/4/99. There are two stages, a main stage in the center and a smaller side stage in one corner. Couches are around the outside of the room for couch dances. There appear to be no private dances. Cover charge seems to be between $2.00 and $5.00 Drinks are $4.25 each with a two drink min. There is a menu of snacks available. Couch Dances are $10.00 As with all nude clubs in San Diego, there is no alcohol served, just sodas, juice and coffee. This club was supposely started by some EX employees of Deja Vu who didnt like how that club was run. This one seemed very clean and strictly enforced the california no smoking law. The DJ was very low key compared to how idiotitic they are at a Deja Vu. Dancer talent varied as the club is still being checked out by dancers from other clubs (I ran into several I know from another club). Lap dances were poor, ranging from slight contact (Teressa) to no contact at all (Mickey). (This may be due to how new they are and being overly concerned about vice). Drinks are overpriced at 4.25. It would be nice if they would issue vip cards to waive the cover like other clubs in the area (hint, hint) Until the dancer talent improves, if you are looking for high mileage dances, you should head to either little darlings or cheetas.

Next time you are Vegas, you should stop Wild J's. It is one of the best clubs in town I think. The girls on night shift are really great. The D.J. 's are crazy. The dances are 2 for 1. They are very hot and wild. So stop and see them next visit. You will enjoy the whole thing.

I was traveling in Seattle and came accross this club called "The Sands". The laps I got were out of this world. May I suggest if you are traveling in Seattle that you check this club out. The reviews I've read on this club were mixed, but the night I was there I got Millage that was out of this world. Much more intimate than most Southern California Clubs. Strange laws on tipping girls while they are dancing on stage however. You can not give a tip directly to the dancer but can leave it on stage. Also not permited to talk to them, while they are on stage. Strange Laws in Seattle. Just a suggestion if you ever get to Seattle.

As I promised earlier, I have some reviews of Vancouver's clubs. After reading some reviews on the 'net at various sites, I decided on a short list of four clubs that I thought were close to my downtown hotel: Cecil's, Penthouse, Marble Arch, and No. 5 Orange Showroom.

Upon walking around and reviewing the map quite often, I decided that No 5 Orange was too far too walk and potentially too dangerous to ride back on the bus. I didn't want to rent a car solely for this expedition.

Penthouse was the worst of the three. As soon as I walked in, I left. This place is a dive. It looks like a regular bar but with a runway down the middle of the joint. The girl dancing on stage was thin and flat. Fortunately, there was no cover so I didn't waste any money.

Afterwards, I went to Cecil's. This is an interesting location because the motel, also called Cecil's (owned by the same group?), is next door. This was the best of the three because it looked nice. The women were most attractive. However, that's not saying much compared to the other two locations.

I kept thinking that Vancouver does have plenty of attractive women. Unfortunately, very few of the beauties dance for a living.

Another negative is that the private dances are similar to New York's "lap dances." There is no contact whatsoever in Vancouver due to their health concerns. They are at least a yard away. I didn't bother to get the exact ruling as I was turned off by this law immediately.

On the following night, Saturday, I went to Marble Arch. This too has a motel next door. How convenient! This also looked like a dive, but I liked this better than Penthouse because at least they had a very attractive masseuse (Cecil had one also, but she was average-looking). The massage, neck and upper torso, cost only C$10, which is roughly US$7.

Additionally, there were quite a few streetwalkers on Seymour (Penthouse) and Richards (Marble Arch). Cecil's is only a block away on Granville. In terms of looks, they looked like the dancers.

In summary, I wouldn't visit Vancouver for the clubs. I enjoyed the other natural activities that this great city has to offer. I would rather get struck down at the average bar than go to these clubs.

De Ja Vu's Showgirls - San Diego

I have to say, this was a very FUN club. It's all nude, so there's no alcohol, but there's free refills. There's an $8 cover charge, and a one time $6 drink fee. The girls there for the most part are good looking, but nothing compared to the Bare Elegance in LA. Still, there are some very beautiful girls there, and there's Lexis, who's amazing on the pole. The club itself is small, one main stage, but it has a real cool atmosphere. The girls there are all friendly and some of the things they do are really great. For example, at one point, two of the strippers got in a little kiddy pool, and covered themselves in flourecent paint, it was beautiful. So if you're looking for a place that has some good looking girls and a real fun atmosphere, I recommend this club.

Wild J's
2923 S. Industrial Rd., Las Vegas
(702) 892-0416
Web site: http://www.wildj.com
Cover: before 6pm - $5, after 6pm - $10 + 2 drinks
Daily 12pm-4am, Sunday 6pm-2am
Last visit: 1/99
Coupon: $5 OFF after 6pm go to LMR's website.

This year I finally got my act together and carried out my plans to attend CES. Part of my preparations included picking up a survival kit from LMR. LMR's website, the Las Vegas Strip Club Review is much like Z Bone's website and I thank you LMR for providing this resource.

It was Friday, and the evening was still young so I decided to visit Wild J's. One notable point of interest about Wild J's is that it is the only club that consistently has features every week in LV, and it is a full nude club. I'd decided to try out a Vegas full nude club as the dances at the topless clubs in LA tend to be milder than the nude clubs in general.

I arrived at around 9:00PM and presented my $5 off coupon at the door. When I was there, the gal who took my cover led me down an aisleway to the main club floor. More on this later. A juice bar is on the left and the DJ booth is on the right. There is a doorway on the right that leads to other rooms and the video store. The club itself is a long rectagular room with tall bench seats, much like Tropical Lei lining the walls. Unless you are an NBA basketball player, your legs will dangle. The stage is small, retangular and extends from the far wall of the floor. There are two poles that reach up to the ceiling. There is seating around the stage, with a couple of small tables at the very end for snacks. The two opposing walls are lined with mirrors giving the illusion of a much larger room. There are also five or six tables with comfortable looking chairs, reminiscent of Spearmint Rhino a few feet in front of the stage itself. I wanted to get a view of the entire club, and so I tried to get a seat at one of these chairs. The hostess quickly ushered me back towards the stage and told me that the tables and chairs were reserved for a private party. I took one of the bench seats instead and settled in as best I could.

On closer inspection, the bench seats were actually separated with dividers that also functioned as drink holders. While on the subject of drinks, I paid for both of my drinks up front with the cover and was not given the drink push as is the case with some of the clubs in LA. As in LMR's review, the girls range from 5's to 7's. For me, this is not necessarily a bad thing as the girls seemed more the gal next door type and this suits me just fine. The stage shows that I saw were about average with LA shows, but in all honesty, I only saw about three different dancers on stage and none of these dancers did any pole work. The room was fairly well lit, and the music level not too loud to prevent reasonable conversation.

The length of the songs was what really surprised me as they averaged 3 ½ to 4 minutes. An Asian dancer, Jade, sat next to me and we started chatting about the club and each other. Jade explained to me that dances that night were all 2 for 1 at $40 each. The songs were full length and not cut. Absolutely no touching by the customer was allowed, but Jade assured me that she would more than make up for this rule. While talking to Jade, I stole a few glances at the other patrons who were getting dances and the mileage was as high as the rules would allow. Standing was allowed and the dancers were getting very close to their patrons. The grinds looked very high mileage. The high seats were also a factor as everyone was just hanging on the seats and trying to enjoy their dances.

Since this is a club review, I will not go into details on Jade's dance for me, but suffice it to say, the mileage was as high as the rules would allow. After the dance, Jade asked if I were interested more dances or in the fantasy rooms in back, (She referred to them as jack-off rooms) but with a full schedule the next day, I had to beg off and cut the evening short.

Club	Nice and clean, but wish they had better lap dance seating.
Dancers	Above average, but not the quality you would expect from a nude club.
Attitude	More friendly than average lap factory.
Nasty Factor	YMWV (Jade, while not a 10 in looks, still knew exactly what to do)

After Dark, Newark, NJ
A lot of Russian women, some hot, some not. You get a stand-up style of grind at the bar. The nasty factor goes from mild to off the scale [redacted] you just have to pick the right girl. The bar has stools every couple of feet that put your crotch righ about level with the dancers butts. The girls come around to you looking for $1 tips. You don't pay per dance, the way it works is that you throw a single at the girl every couple of minutes while the girl grinds away on you. About 5-10 bucks will get you really high mileage by LA standards. You can pretty much touch the girl anywhere except between the legs and some grils will let you do that too. They serve alcohol.

Brown Derby, Elizabeth, NJ
[redacted: Off the scale mileage] Mostly black girls, a few latin and white thrown in for variety. Has a back room for lap dance, similar to After Dark, and a private room ($10 fee to get in for ten minutes with the dancer of your choice and a tip negotiated with the dancer before hand.)

The Palace, Passaic, NJ
Mostly black and Latin dancers with some Russians thrown in. $10 private dance (read HIGH mileage lap), tipping up to you. I go the buck every couple of minutes route with a $10-$20 at the end for exceptional service [redacted].

La Vien Rose/Baby Dolls/Moonlight Lounge, Paterson, NJ
3 bars all within 15 feet of each other. Rose - Latin and Russian dancers, BabyDolls - Latin dancers, Moonlight - Black, Latin and Russian. No laps available in the LA sense of the word, but nasty factor off the scale in a vein similar to After Dark in Newark.
