2.5 Stars (rounding up thanks to Striller)…read more
Dear Stir Crazy,
So many mixed emotions that it makes it hard to write this review. Overall, I give you a 2.5... BUT you just have infinite amounts of potential! You could be a really hip Strip Club if it was just run a little differently.
Your venue itself is small, but not too small. Just intimate enough, which I always like. There's a main stage in the front, and a back bar, with tables spread in between. There are VIP rooms, which I've never seen, and what seemed to be some kind of an upstairs (?) - but that could have been VIP.
And how can I forget, you serve FOOD! Full kitchen til 5am. And it's pretty damn good. Just the other night, the bf and I were here (story to follow below) and we enjoyed some of your tasty delights. :) Quite impressed my friends. Quite impressed.
The girls for the most part are very.... voluptuous and full-figured, to keep it nice and PC. Very hit or miss... So for those reading, if you're looking to "fall in love with a stripper", try another spot.
However, there is one thing to be said about the entertainment value here. :) I have never had a bad time!! I've had all kinds of random adventures here and not once did I ever leave saying "I'm not coming back". Stir Crazy, you definitely keep me on my toes! And I like that!
Which brings me to the story I want to write about my last and most recent experience here, just a couple of Saturday Nights ago... ;-)
We will title this story - STRILLER! (Use your imagination or just keep reading!)
It was very late on a Saturday night and we were on our way home from Brickell. I was starving but pizza was not an option. As we are getting nearer to our house, the bf suggests (as we're just a couple blocks away) "hey, let's stop at Stir Crazy! Besides, they serve food". Hmmm Food at a Strip Club? We've done it at Tootsies and really enjoyed, so I thought I would give you a try.
We came in and of course were not impressed by the dancer on stage. We headed straight for the back bar - our spot. We sat down, ordered drinks and asked for a menu. We decided to split a cheeseburger and fries, so we placed the order.
The night was progressing as it should. Different girls dancing... Girls asking to be tipped for dances we didn't see... Etc. The usual strip club protocol.
But then... As the food arrived smelling so tasty (was I just that hungry and drunk?), the lights got dimmer and the familiar sounds of Michael Jackson's Thriller started creeping into my ears... Little by little the song got louder and as I continued to enjoy and devour my burger, I was immediately drawn to the commotion on the stage...
There she was. STRILLER. In all of her glory. Beautiful caramel colored skin with matching honey-colored hair... Wearing a Leopard-print leotard. Yes a full-blown dance leotard. Long sleeves and all.
And the show began.
This amazingly talented dancer proceeded to perform the entire, what I call the Theatrical, dance routine of MJ's Thriller video. For the full legnth of the song (what is it, 12 minutes?!). She did the zombie move and all. This was the BEST thing I've EVER seen!!! And for that, I give Striller 5 Stars!!! :) She should have her own headline show here. You need to have her name all up on the marquis!
I wish to God that you would not have made me return my camera to the car when you searched us upon entering (is this necessary, by the way?). I wish to God that I could have video-taped this and been the next YouTube sensation. But alas, rules are rules, and I understand the no camera policy.
So instead, I write my review... Glorifying my Striller forever.
Much Love,
SabrinaAnna*
PS. See you soon. Make sure Striller is there. Thanks!
