Upland closure
|
i have heard from reliable sources that SRU is closed permanantly. SR corporate had several issues with this location. 1. the liquor license was running out and they were having a hard time finding someone they could get the license renewed in. and 2. the company wanted to renovate the interior. the owner of the building refuses to give them more than a 1 year lease, and the rhino wants a long term commitment if they are going to spend 200000 on renovations of the building....

It's closed?? You losers!
|
So has SRU REALLY closed for good? What's up with the people in the Southland - no one likes a drink anymore? It is a VERY sad state of affairs: - Since I moved to SoCal in 1995, I have noted the following: - A)- that coffee houses / juice bars are usually jammed, & B)- that cocktail lounges / real bars are struggling to stay in business!! You losers! I am extremely disapointed with this generation of, well, lightweights!!!!!!! Bukowski would never have written in a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf!!!!

Calling alll SRU dancers
|
Give us your hot, your friendly, your no air-dance dancers.
I have recently read that SRU is going away. I would like to encourage all of you displaced dancers to try out Deja Vu in the City of Industry. The club looked nice and I hear the stage fees are very low and no tip-outs for dances given. I really want to see what this club would be like with some local talent and I bet there were some hotties who danced her. So hopefully when I make my return trip back to DVCOI I can see some local talent.
Just passing along some info for those who may be looking for another place to lap.
I'M OUT!

I was at SRU today. Was there around 3;30. Not many gals there. Watched the game for a while. I asked the waitress about Star and Lexi. She said they are not dancing anymore. I'm hoping that they will be farmed into a nude club soon. Both those gals were smokin hott. Specially Lexi, what a lil dish. What day and time did you see Star at DVO??

I visited this club recently and had a very good time. Though it's clearly not HM like some of the dancers at fully-nude clubs, the dances I recieved were *WELL* worth the $10, and were more enjoyable than most $25 nudes I've gotten at other Spearmint Rhinos. Just because there is no nudity, it is a mistake to assume that it will not be erotic.
I also observed that it's not uncommon for dancers to spend hours talking to the same customers. Such a practice is unheard of at the nude clubs, and constant stage calls is one of the mechanisms Management uses to discourage this sort of practice. But in Upland, this isn't a problem. So if you're one of those guys that thinks, "Hey, where'd she go?" after getting dances at a SR nude club, you will probably appreciate Upland just for this factor alone. Also can't complain about a large BEER being less expensive than a small glass of soft drink at the other clubs.
Now for the ratings:
CLUB: Has a nice, classy appearance, but it smelled like stale beer, and the restroom is indisinguishable from any fast food joint's.
DANCERS: Most girls are above average in looks, which a few exceptionally hot ones. Stage talent seems to be higher than at the nude clubs
ATTITUDE: The dancers and staff were friendly. It was refreshing that nobody rolled their eyes or grumbled when I politely declined to get a dance.
NASTY FACTOR: The lap dances are performed where everybody can see them, but the experience can still be erotic.

TR Day Shift Friday 9/3

Trip Report for the Spearmint Rhino, Upland, Day Shift Friday 9/3/2004
After work, went to the Spearmint Rhino bikini bar in Upland, which is a couple of blocks south of the Tropical Lei on Central Avenue. I haven’t been there in a long time (over a year), but decided to give it a try before heading out to the TL for some real action on the night shift. I got there about 4:30 pm, and the parking spaces were all taken close to the club, which probably meant a good crowd inside. There were four guys standing in front of the entrance, but I couldn’t tell if they were customers or employees. They ignored me as I walked up to the door, where I saw a sign saying that there is no cover charge before 6:30 pm. I didn’t expect that, so I was already put in a good mood before going in. There is a lobby inside, with some pool tables and rest rooms straight ahead, and a ramp leading down to the bar and dance area to the left. It’s dark down there, so I take a little time to get my eyes adjusted while looking around. To the left of the ramp is the bar and to the right are a lot of small tables with chairs. To the far right is the small sunken dance stage with two poles and a high bench in the back for the dancer to put her stuff while she dances. There is a gap between the stage and the tip rail, with a narrow counter to put your drinks, and room for about 10 chairs. The DJ is to the right of the stage, and also a small raised area for lap dances, with a continuous bench couch (which is normal height, so your feet touch the floor when getting dances, unlike the high benches at the Tropical Lei). There was a decent crowd inside, about 20 people, mostly guys, but also a couple of women customers.
I noticed there were a lot of dancers at the stage, so I made my way to the tip rail to get a better look. It took a little time to get there, as I had to snake my way around all the tables and chairs. There were a dozen or so girls there, with most of them very good looking. It turns out they are offering a 2 for 1 dance special, that is two bikini dances for $10. When a tall well built brunette in a black outfit asks me if I want a dance, I say yes. Her name is Kennedy, and she has great legs, a nice smile and piercing eyes. She has a knit shirt over her bikini top, which she opens up to press her small but firm breasts against me while dancing. She does a very nice grind both facing me and facing away from me, and gets me warmed up. But when I touch her leg, she says “no touching” and I stop immediately. There is another 2 for 1 immediately following, and I enjoyed the first special enough to agree to another. When it ended, I gave her $20, plus a $5 tip.
I went back to main floor, and sat in a table and got a drink from a waitress ($3 for a soft drink). It seemed like it took a long time to get my drink – when she passed my table again after about 10 minutes I reminded her I was waiting for a drink, and then had to wait another 10 minutes for it. But at least it wasn’t watered down and not all ice, and in a large glass – similar to a large drink in a fast food place. Lea from Tropical Lei recognized me and said hello. Also Kennedy gave me a friendly tug on my hair as she passed my table. Then I made my way down to the rail again, and joined about 5 guys who were already at the stage. There was a blonde dancer named Nikki who was very pretty and gave a good stage show. When she took off her top, there were pasties covering her nipples. That gave her breasts (which were small but very nice) a plastic look. She was followed by Star, a brunette who was energetic. She had larger boobs, but didn’t take off her top. Then came the best dancer I saw (whose name I have forgotten ), a very hot blonde who reminded me of Britney Spears (except she had small boobs). She not only looked sexy, she also did some great pole work (fast spinning, and taking off her top while being upside down and facing us), and did a nice full split on the floor. She also had a nice rapport with each of us at the rail, and left us wanting more. Finally Kennedy did a very nice stage dance, and I got to see her top off (again, small but nice boobs). Then I was off to get dinner, before I continued my clubbing at the Tropical Lei (see separate report). It was 6 pm, and I had spent a total of only $35 in an hour and a half.
In summary, I had a good time here. The dancers were good looking, it is not expensive, it was a relaxed atmosphere, with not a lot of pressure to get dances, and no drink hustle. On the downside was the no touching of dancers by customers, the slow service by my waitress, and the surprisingly dingy men’s room. I will probably return here next Friday to get warmed up before going to TL. Plus I need to see that blonde again, and try to get a dance from her, as well as learn her name.

The club
|
I have had nothing but pleasurable experiences at this club. Never been there at night, but dayshift is no hassle. Been frequenting this place for about 2 years now. Star and Lexi are two hotties that are there on the the weekends. The lap dances are decent for being a bikini club, if you find the right girl, but don't expect anything outragous. You'll get a nice little grind, but there's no touching at all. Drinks are a great price and food is good. This is actually one of my favorite clubs.

Spearment Rhino Review
|
I was zipping along the Zbone reviews and came across the Spearment Rhino pages, and I just simply had to leave my review of my own 'visit'. I did not like the place. There was problems getting through the door with security and it was annoying.. Once I got through the doors, the place was very nicely decorated and was probably one of the better looking clubs that I had visited. It was very clean, and well layed out for the size of the place. I did enjoy the food there and also the bar. The dancers there were somewhat decent, but I didn't like the stage. I am a person who likes to watch the stage performances before I start getting lap dances, I like to see which girls know how to dance and whatnot. The stage was shoved in the corner with not alot of stage room at all. Mostly all the girls did was walk around and pose a lot, and I don't like that. I got a lap dance there as well but did not enjoy that either. The D.J was right next to me and I felt somewhat nervious to do anything, remembering how rude the security was at the front door. I do like a little bit of flirting in my dances, even if I am being lied to, and the girl was just mechanically going through the motions like a robot that was only doing it for my money. (even if that is how it is, lie to me a little.. >>) I don't think I will be going back there.. Unless I want to just have a drink at the bar, which isn't very polite to the dancers who have to work hard for their money, I know.

TRIP REPORT - IT TOOK FIFTEEN MINUTES JUST TO GET IN THE DOOR DUE TO STRICT SECURITY. AFTER FINALLY GETTING THROUGH THE DOOR, THE LITTLE MAN WHO CALLED HIMSELF A MANAGER HELD OUR GROUP AT THE DOOR TO MAKE SURE WE MET THE "RHINO DRESS CODE STANDARDS"--AFTER WE HAD ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH THE SECURITY GUARD. ANYWAY, THIS CLUB HAS A GREAT "SPORTS BAR" ATMOSPHERE,COVER WAS $7.00, GREAT DRINK SPECIALS, AND A FEW GOOD LOOKING GIRLS. MAKAYLA, AND ROXY WERE THE BEST TWO OF THE 7. BESIDES THE LITTLE MAN, I MEAN-- MONDAY NIGHT SHIFT MANAGER WHO THINKS WEARING A CHEAP SUIT AND TIE MAKES HIM IMPORTANT, WE HAD A GREAT TIME. THERE WAS A GREAT "DENNYS TYPE" MENU, GREAT DRINKS, FUN GIRLS WITH GOOD ATTITUDES, AND POOL TABLES, AND FUN INTERACTIVE D.J'S . WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR. ITS A PLUS FOR SMOKERS AS WELL. WORDS OF ADVICE TO THE MANAGER, THE DANCERS, BAR STAFF, D.J AND SECURITY MAKE YOUR CLUB RUN. FRANKLY, THEY PAY YOUR $1600 A MONTH SALARY-- YOU SHOULD TREAT THEM A LITTLE BETTER.

HEY ANTHONY ESCARCEGA....

I have enjoyed working at the club for a long while, it's clean and everyone seems to be upbeat. But one thing that's getting the girls down is the managers and bouncers who think just because we dance that we want to be touched by them. The girls and I have been talking about this for a while but none of us have the courage to pass the info along because we feel we'd be fired some how. So with annonimity I thought we'd use z-bone. That attention should be for the paying customers not the people WE tip out. Thanx for liistening.

Spearmint Rhino Upland Visit.
|
I visited this club Thursday night. Admission is free with a 1down card and that is exactly what I used. The club is clean like other Rhino and the girls are very attractive. The waitresses and bartenders look like they should be dancers. The female staff looked hot. Drinks were fairly cheap, soft drinks were $3.00 and waters were $2.00. Domestic beer was $3.50. There were approximately 15 girls. Me and a buddy chatted and just watched the stage shows. Girls have the option of doing the show topless or fully clothed. Most did it topless. Lap dances are $10 and fully clothed and nearly out in the open. The floater stands by and makes sure no funny stuff is going on. There is NO MILEAGE at this club. They do have small pool tables which are $1.00 per game. Overall a nice place to hang out and chat, but not to spend alot of cash. I don't feel it is worth $10 admission to come here, but with the 1down card it is free and that makes it worth it. No drink hassle or dancer drink hassle which is a plus.
