Any thoughts on ShowPalace?

I went to ShowPalace after escaping the G2K sausage party. I didn't realize how efficient ShowPalace is at getting your money. $25 entrance, coat check immediately $3 charge, then 2 drink minimum and waitress must walk you to a table the second you enter. No way around that. $19 for 2 drinks.
$25 entrance, ask a dancer for a free weekday admission card or find them lying around cover girls desk and take one. It is $35 or $45 after 4am on weekends when SP turns into a sausage fest and regular club. So this is how you avoid a pinstripe corset overweight leach at SP from sucking your blood. When you walk in, you see the phalanx of useless corset girls, after you check in your coat, say "I am going to the bathroom", and go, this way you are never seated or assigned a waitress. Or say "I am going to the bar". If you are sitting on main floor no drink, very rarely a waitress will try the 2 drink min game, BUT remember you dont have a waitress assigned after the bathroom trick. Take an empty redbull can with straw, or goto the bartender and get a soda. Official price is $7. Bartender might demand $8. If she says its $8, she gets no tip, if she says $7, or says nothing. I give her $8 and tell her to keep the dollar. If I hear its $9 or $10 from the bartender, I tell them the price is $7 and I give a $1 tip, but this time I wont or something nasty like that. $3 coat is correct.

The wait and bar staff was very pushy about tips. $2 for every little thing they did, even if it was just taking money for a private booth ($75 for 15 mins, dancer tried to short me, and before she got started she was already asking for $50-100 tip with out even a vague idea of what she was going to give for that) and the lap dance area ($25 for a dance). In short, with out even getting to see the ladies there, this place already takes $47 from each guy walking in and then it's a mine field of forced tips.
Huh? You give $75 to a bartender, she gives a paper ticket to the dancer, dancer and you goto price room. You dont tip bouncers or waitresses to do rooms here, this isn't manhattan. Ask about DFK before a $75 room or do a $25 or floor random singles and see if you get hand grabs. There are some airdance princesses here that dont do floor dances so guys can't touch their tits. Standup dance at bar with random singles (5-15$ total spent) can also be a good test if they hand grab. I know because the rooms are 50 to girl, 25 to club, asking for tips is only way for the girl to "correct" the price to manhattan. Some of the uglier ones dont ask for tips. Start a timer on your phone when room host assigns you a room, so he and the girl can't short you at 8 or 10 mins instead of him comming 13-15 mark. Or ask him "when did we start?" and tell him to give you the time he wrote on his paper.

BTW "fully nude" aspect is completely pointless, from what I've seen the ladies only get fully nude on stage and in the private area. Private areas are so dark that you can't see a damn thing, there are cameras everywhere so don't expect to get away with anything either.
I agree the nude is pointless after going there for many years. Hey its better than manhattan, but only the ugly or max pothead girls even get on stage, and only half the ones on stage show the kitty anyways during their 3 songs. $25 area no cameras corner for a solid 4-6 minutes 1.5 songs is much better than the $75 rooms. I give a tip if the $25 dance was high mileage and try to extract a number. There is a $300 ultra VIP/30 upstairs area that supposedly is no cameras. Its new as of a year ago, only 1 or 2 girls in the whole club ever proposed it. Showpalace is a make it rain/floor dance place, the rooms are historical artifacts from its long gone wanna be Manhattan heritage. Yes the private rooms are crazy dark. Yes there are cameras, ugly or with kids girls will DFK no drama, maybe some FOV. Years ago I used to get finishes there, but I think by now my standards are too high and the girls I talk to mgake 4 digits no extras. Cameras are NOT watched IMO, no matter what the girls say. 1 or 2 told me they are unwatched. Its just a hustle to keep your dick zipped up.

Once you are in their closed environment they do everything to call all shots. I know all places do this but at least I get sense of joy from the others. This place is so efficient at it without trying to give you anything in return that you really feel shorted. I was in a private room with a girl that was at least an 8 by any standard but her immediate grab for tips killed the mood. Even her bare pussy bent over and massaged by her fingers 6 inches in front of my face could't save the situation because I couldn't see a damn thing and she made sure to block any attempt to get closer or grab anything.
DM me, I know all the girls there or have opinions of them. The peruvian shorties, all blood connected, there are trash. Watch the girls, if they never talk to other customers, you should be hesitant to do more than $25 area corner. They are stage only girls. $25 area is LEO test anyway for extras ITC or OTC. There lately is a philadelphia 100 lb blonde american shorty working there that STRAIGHT UP refuses all floor and $25. G2K on crack "wanna dance"er. She knows she can clean that club out as one of the few english girls.

"Die Happy Tonight"

Thank me later by buying me a free lapdance haha
Rosewood or the "Loft" at the secret address? 2 diff clubs.

Overall the diversity of girls is wider, so while the median conventional hotness is definitely below a Rosewood or Le Rouge, you get a lot more variety. I believe there's a little more leeway in what can happen "upstairs" vs the usual dance clubs, and some couples will leave for nearby dungeons and fetish places to continue play. Generally the girls are fine with you if you're vanilla, but I dunno, why bother going out so far then?

It is a good option if you're into or want to explore various fetishes though, foot, findom, light S&M, role-play seemed the most common.

The space itself was a little dingy the twice I've been, especially compared to the permanent club spaces now. But they might have moved locations.
FA and its feet fetish clone parties are the only places left where you can get an old Lido style experience. At FA you dont have to fake S&M anything, half of all girls do something that looks like an Atlanta or Detroit lapdance for 20-50 for 10 minute. At the other feet parties you have to fake a fetish for first $20 to get to know her, I do that. Then up the special requests or just kill it if you think she will say no or doesnt OTC or hand grabs so she cant complain you aren't a fetish sub. Private rooms at FA are worth it, since they can't pull the "oh they dont pay us to be in a private room with you, that is a couple $100 more" trick like they can in manhattan, or the "invisible cameras". The girl gets nothing if she does nothing. Dont do the rooms at FA if you dont know why you are doing them.

Rosewood and Le Rouge security break up songs so you spend on drinks and their no curtain private rooms. Phone police there also.

Alice party was promising but has an idiot owner who chases off all girls from ever coming back. Rules wise, it was best choice summer 2019, but most girls never came back and went back to their above ground strip club or Rosewood.

Burlesk party were the former bouncers of Lido, everyone but Steve and Joe, trying to restart Lido using dancer list from the 2018 Lido raid, but at $60 cover and 5 girls their first night, 2 from CLV, and 3 from RW, and being on thursdays, and zero privacy dance area with the cover girl directly look at you if you get a dance whole time, I never went back and they went out of biz Nov 2018. Their last event ever was a different address, MAYBE it was good, but I got the address too late and made other plans that night.

CLV has very few new girls, most girls are denied entry to Rosewood for various reasons. I go there alot since its still best place to get numbers and grab tits or atleast drink alone on your phone if its all fuglys that night.

Also only 1x ever some waitress tried "must get 2 at same time" trick. If she acting like she gonna call security to have you removed because of the drink, you get up from your seat, goto the bartender, order the drink at the correct price, and smile as you walk away bar, and tell her now I bought a drink and go back your seat. She got nothing for her rudeness cuz you cut her and her tip out of it. This aint Dream or Tao. I can do McDonalds, I can carry my own cup. Put on a bikini and go strip if you want real cash instead of being a waitress trying to find and marry Warren Buffet or Tyga, cuz a strip club waitress knows there is $ in the room, she only wants to take top 1% home without showing her tits.

Was a longtime fan of the original Flashdancers on West 54th/Broadway. Lighting was great, mix of people was great, great DJ. New management took it over from Vegas /Sapphire's and now it is awful. BRIGHT BLUE and the areas for non bottle service stink. Who came up with this plan? It is really bad.

Original SVT was great. Original Lido was great. The new "lido" seems to just be at scores?

I am intrigued to try Le Rouge.

Rosewood seems the best just now, but the short songs as some said above stink. 5 songs goes very fast. (12 minutes). Whereas you get prob 3.5 minutes at other venues

Forgive my ignorance, what is a Atlanta or Detroit style lap dance? How does it differ from a lap dance in G2k day shift or NJ Paterson area lap dance?

Jumping back on this thread, now that I've posted a couple of reviews.

I think you answered this question yourself two sentences earlier:

I believe there's a little more leeway in what can happen "upstairs" vs the usual dance clubs.
In my experience, there is a LOT more leeway, in what can happen upstairs as well as downstairs. Downstairs, in the curtained off area, I've had more than one dancer offer me HJ. And upstairs, the sky has been the limit. PM if you want more detail.

A good 60-80% of the people there are for some specific fetish.
Yeah, I think that might be true. But I've also found that 60-80% of the dancers don't care one way of the other. And 40-60% are willing to bang your brains out for a reasonable tip. (And, to be fair, 30-50% are worth doing that with... But the ones that are worth it are WORTH IT.)

The space itself was a little dingy the twice I've been, especially compared to the permanent club spaces now. But they might have moved locations.
Was the last time you went in Queens? Its held in a private party space now... Not as fancy as the strip clubs that the other "private parties" are doing their thing in these days. But not terribly dingy.

Saint Venus does not exist after the 2018? raid. Please upload a screen shot that says Saint Venus is opening. A number of different promoters use the word "Saint Venus" illegitimately since Rob cant goto federal court to enforce his trademark.

I know someone who said he was at a "Venus party" the other night. He said it was a big dimly lit lounge area with private rooms upstairs and was located in the west 30s. Unfortunately I didn't get any contact information.

Hmmm, I know an "east 30s" party. So I got an invite to a Thursday May 27, 8pm-2am, no name lapdance party, its open bar, $150 cover. Ive been before 2x, the venue has no eyes in dance area. Patagonia, plaid, BW finance suit crowd. Near ESB. Since this promoter doesn't sell bottles and doesn't sell drinks, there is nothing in the party to do but spend on women or get drinks from the bar. Its 15-25 women a night. Most women leave around 11pm to midnight unless they find a whale and stay with him front room or back room to 2am or 3am lights on. The existing guys were recruited by individual strippers from "more rules" clubs. DM me if you want an invite.

3 song minimum? I wouldn’t get a dance from her for that lie unless she was rubbing Jonson under the table at the bar. No matter how good she looked. Manhattan for you.

lol, 150 at the door, would turn away many dudes. Especially if you don’t know what the situation inside is. This now other spot is similar issue. You have to stick to 20 to 40 cover at the door. 50-100 room free and the girl negotiates the tip. Also, it sounds like he got a shitty rental deal with the venue. At those prices, is he getting a cut of the bar profits?
