What is “Charlie Pros”?
sorry, tried googling it and didn’t come up w a strip club? Is it a place or what? Lol. thanks all.
Charlie Pros did close years ago, not sure exactly when. I don't recall them ever advertising when they were open, and for the unsuspecting who drove by it looked like a corner bar on the outside.

Not too far away Dangerous Curves was a hit or miss fun spot. I haven't been there since it changed to Risque

I went once or twice since its been Risque. I knew a really hot girl that danced there and had a better than average time. Otherwise its the Risque B team and they rotate girls from the Del Ave spot on occasion.

I have been a frequent visitor to Philly Strip clubs for the past 5-6 years and after visiting many Strip clubs today I can easily say that it's almost dead. Visited like 4 clubs in a day and they had absolutely no good talent. Everything I saw was like almost close to garbage. The clubs I visited were

1) Cheerleaders
2) Club Risque
3) Lou Turks
4) Sin City

Cheerleaders used to be my go to club and they always had decent local or European talent. This time they had no European talent and local talent was so so bad. Saw a 50 (she looked like that) year old lady dancing on the pole. That was a sign that they are really struggling with finding good girls. Left the place within an hour.

Visited Club Risque next, they have increased their entrance fee to $20 The place looked like a sausage fest. The guys to girls ratio was 10:1. Again the girls weren't even close to what they used to be before. The place reeked of cigarettes and I almost had an asthma attack.

Left this place disappointed and went to Lou Turks next. Now I know this place is known to be rough and shady, but you get lucky with finding one or two diamonds in this coal mine. After entering the place I could see that I had made a mistake. My God, it felt like a low grade brothel in Columbia (please dont try them ever!). I like their fries, so ordered that and left once I was done. Also their entrance fee was $20 , so not fucking worth it!

Sin-City next and I had the worst experience there. Had to wait in line and could see that they give preference to a certain race only. The place was packed like crazy and it was really difficult to even talk to someone. I see now why they have such bad public reviews. It's a good club for one particular race. Would skip this one forever now. In my years of club hunting , havnt had this kind of experience. Shame on the fucking rude management.

I think COVID and many online platforms like onlyfans, all webcams have pushed out the good talent and made this experience really bad for me, personally. Just wanted to vent out I guess and see if anybody feels the same or not.
Well pre covid the Montreal strip club scene was dead except for one club which used to be maxed out on talent like Cheerleaders but whittled to a few. And that’s because all the girls turned to escorting because the money was better. Imagine that and escort prices in Montreal are only 220 -250 at agencies

The port took a nosedive. They got ride of the decent manager and what's left is just pathetic. Bartenders are dudes?
Who was the decent manager? Do the babes still strip and walk on top of the bar? I was friendly with the staff years ago. They would book their place for private parties and had a minimum number of guests, if the party didn't have enough I was occasionally asked if I want to chip in and attend. Va Va Voom what a party that would be...

Likely it's been closed for years? I don't know. It was in the Tacony section, not far from I-95 tucked into that areas classic residential/industrial mix.
Yeah, I remember giving 2 strippers a ride home from a bachelor party in South Philly like 20 years ago. They lived on top of Charlie Pro's!

Anyone been over to the Erotic Cafe in Pennsauken lately? I haven’t been in over a year. It was hit or miss with the talent, but I generally had a better time there than any of the Philly spots.

There’s this new place “sin city”. I was just approached by their marketing van and got two free entry cards. Not sure how good it is, but the neighborhood it’s in really doesn’t look to great. They also market themselves as a cabaret. Idk, maybe I’ll check it out one day.

The place first was Christine's, which tried to be a high end steakhouse. Then it became Vanity Grande, same owner as Cheerleaders. They had some rap acts and promotions with a $50 cover. New owners now and called Sin City. I believe they are catering to a Black clientele.

I don't know his name, but he's been there forever. Like the 70's is when I met him. Really good guy that got released. I haven't been since pre-shutdown, last Feb. It was hurting bad. I won't be returning. I'm familiar with the parties, but never went to one. I'm not really close with anyone in there, I come, I leave. I need a new place to booze.

cover charges. Anyone notice these clubs are raising covers charges?
I went one night to bucks and at the door, the gate girl said $100. Da fuk? I walked away and went to amp. Next day I found out it was a fight going on. But c’mon $100 to get in. Some clubs now charge $40 cover.
Things are getting expensive just to see tits.

Delilahs. I was not there at all during Covid. I have been away about 18 months. Not the same. At least not yet. Operations are back to normal. No masks. No need to buy food. Bar areas are opened. Ruby lounge is opened. Class of dancer is down somewhat. That might have started pre-Covid some would say. I only saw one dancer that I recognized from 18 months ago. Saturday night was not busy at 9 or 10 PM. Picked up later. That's a normal pre-Covid crowd for that night I guess? Drinks prices went up a little bit overall. Dances are still $20. Midnight showcase was done. 30 dancers? I didn't count. Two girls in sheer robes seemed hot from a far. They must have been in Champaign court because I never saw them up close. I did not see any Asian entertainers. :(

Talent is subpar everywhere. A few factors in play - travel is becoming less restrictive. Many of the hot Eastern Euro chicks are now headed back to the old country for the summer. Not sure if that’s a visa necessity. Also many of the clubs are still non-smoking when previously they were cigar friendly. So attendance is still low and the girl:guy ratio is lopsided. It’s making it tough for them to compete for a patron’s dollar so a lot of dancers that were loyal to one club are now jumping ship and moving around. Many girls also had daytime gigs that may allow them to collect the unemployment and stimulus $$ so why work? Strippers are either lazy or crazy. o_OIMO as of this past week, Risqué on Colombus had the best looking talent and also allowed smoking.
