Yes, I am a female fan of "gentleman's clubs." I have been to four of 'em in Providence (Cheater's not included) and honestly enjoyed all that I have been to, though I have to say that The Cadillac Lounge and The Foxy Lady are my two favorites. It's so funny how a relatively small city in the smallest state in the nation is pretty well renowned for it's skin bars. Go figure.
The Cadillac Lounge is awesome for the most part, and I only have two small gripes about it. The cover is pretty steep after 6PM, about $15 and I want to say it goes up to $20 on the weekends (?). However, the only place I have been to in the city that does not charge an arm and a leg to get in is Desire, so it's not that big a deal. And speaking of big deals, this joint is HUGE!!! Huge I say. And really nice, I might add. As you walk in, there is a coat check room and the main stage is right in the middle of the main level, similar in shape to a barbel, it has two poles on either end, and yes, as the night goes on and the crowd gets more abundant, there are two dancers on at a time which is always fun to watch. They have a full bar (I was told that when this place first opened it was BYOB) and a menu. I almost never order food from a strip club. Not because I don't trust the quality (c'mon, it's a strip club...I don't expect them to have roast suckling duck and baked Alaska) but because, like most other patrons, I am not there to eat. However, one of the nights I came here I was starving and ordered chicken tenders, which were awesome. Though it's pretty hard to mess something like that up! The drinks are reasonably priced, typical strip club prices so nothing new there.
The lighting in this place is much brighter than the other three Providence clubs I have been to, it's not something I care a helluva lot about, just something I figured was worth mentioning in case someone else does. Also, there are "rub girls" that walk around with bottles of lotion offering.............................back rubs. I have a horrendous back, but when one of the girls came over to talk about the pricing I declined. Once again, not really there to get a back rub. Just an added bonus to this place if you do want one, however. Also on the main level are a few arcade games (hilariously enough), an ATM machine, and the all nude room which is about $5-$10 extra to get in, but it is really small and I prefer the main room. Besides, getting nude on the main stage seems to be at the dancer's own discretion.
Upstairs are the private dance booths, and some couches that I saw even have their own miniature stages with a pole. Not too shabby. The prices are what one would expect: $25 topless, $35 nude, usually lasting about 3 songs. The Champagne Room is on the main level. This place also has loads of dancers, and with loads of dancers comes loads of variety. Which is what brings me to an odd part of this review: The dancers here, in my opinion, are both a pro AND a con. I personally love sexy, somewhat coy, pale, goth girls with unique tattoos the best, and they do have a better amount of them here than at the other places I have been to thus far. And boy do they wear their crimson lipstick and black eyeliner well, just the way I like. However, they also have a larger abundance of really pushy and obnoxious Brazillians/Latinas with whom I am just not a personal fan of at all. But I do give this place credit for having something for everyone. I did notice also, that some of the dancers just sit at the bar chatting. Although that can become irritating for customers, think of it this way: more money you save, and there are so many dancers here you will find at least a few you will like.
Overall, a great time. Something for everyone. Average priced everything, huge, brightly-lit layout, good food (if you want it), abundance of dancers. read more
