We arrived just about opening time 4:30 -my wife and I. We sat on the edge of the stage and tipped every dancer from 4:30 until 10PM. We had several table dances and bought many drinks to the tune of about $160 bar tab and when we decided to leave, the manager actually approached me and asked why we didn't tip the waitress on the ticket. When I said we just dropped several hundred dollars in his club he said thats great, please tip my waitress. I took a pen and tipped her. As we were leaving he had the gaul to stop and say thanks for the $5 tip. I said you're welcome for the $600 I spent in your bar! The dancers were fine, most didn't try and hustle you...some always do. Topless of course, no touch...$20 table dance which the song seems like a very short song. Was a great time until the manager ruined it over a few bottles of beer and some shots for some dancers. read more

Has the best dancers and environment. However, management and the waitress are just awful. They cheated me out of $300+ and blasted me for "glancing at somebody funny" and refused to listen to my side of the story. That is not a joke/exaggeration-my stripper sided with me on this and supposedly later worked it out with management. I have not been back to see if this was settled and will not go back for years to come. I think that was the same waitress who at another time yelled at me and ruined my birthday because I stuttered when I ordered food. read more

The food was great as well as the atmosphere. Our server, Carmen, was excellent and had the perfect attitude. We felt welcomed and enjoyed our time. read more

I enjoyed myself even on a Tuesday night. I didn't get a dance but I enjoyed conversations with a few of the girls! The bartender was great, we had a good vibe that night. She kept complementing my shirt and told me it was too hard for her to look me in the eyes. Lol if I'm ever in town again I would definitely come back. One of the best looking night clubs I've ever been in. The setup was off the chain! Beautiful girls inside and out!! read more

This past weekend, we decided to go out for one of my best friends birthday and celebrate since we didn't get the opportunity to do so earlier. We met up for drinks in Uptown, then went to a roof top party, then decided to go to The Furnace..... As a group of 5 women, we went in, first to sit on the sofas in the back section. We ordered air 10 jello shots and then...... My bf decides to get $800 cashed into 800 ones... This is when the night turned extremely interesting lol. Before this time, we were not noticed. Lol! As SOON as the waitress went to cash out the 100s, the manager came over to speak to us and see how we were doing. No sooner had we gotten the ones, we were ushered to the seats right in front of the stage. Dancer after dancer came out, dancing directly in front of us. We were then brought the money gun! MAKE IT RAIN MAKE IT MAKE IT RAIN!!! Lol! And yes we had a ball shooting ones across the stage! Now as a bartender, I pride myself on knowing how to make most any drink and can tell what liquor has been used in a drink when I get it. I ordered a couple of Bob Marleys for us. When we got them, they weren't the right color, and definitely didn't taste right. They were nasty and actually hurt my stomach. All in all we had a decent night. Oh, one more thing- we would have definitely enjoyed it much more if they had had a better variety of dancers/women read more

The Furnace - Strip Clubs Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

See all

Took my husband for his birthday. This place is honestly very clean, it's classy. It's not in the ghetto and I like the fact that the parking lot is gated in. Makes you feel safer. The drinks were good my husband and I sat in VIP. They do have lots of cute girls. For every man's taste. But in my opinions them latinas got my money. They were the best looking ones. If you like a woman with ass and titts. Not just bones. I would say give the place a try. If you want to go see strippers. The girls who we talked too were very nice and our bartender was amazing. We will be going back FOR SURE! They have them in all colors boys lol not just Caucasian. Maybe they should advertise them more. Especially them LATINAS CUZ BABYYYY. Wow! But again this is my opinion. Everyone has their own taste. read more

If you haven't been to this pace yet What are you waiting for still the best club in the south!!!!!

This place got nice lookin girls but service is garbage might as well just go to hooters. This ain't a strip club

This is the only gentleman's club I've ever been to, and it was quite the experience. I was here for a friend's birthday. This place is huge and have several dancers as well as bartenders and waitresses. The dancers were very attentive, and the waitresses never had an empty tray of jello shots. People came both in groups or by themselves, usually in baseball caps and coats if they wanted to be incognito. Ha. read more

As a forward we all have dreams. I have always liked strip clubs. A few of my close friends from high school became strippers, and a few of their stripper friends became my friends. So I learned to enjoy simple conversation in an environment with lewd men oogling mostly nude women who's job was to sell expensive drinks and cater to our needs in a very artistic and sympathetic manner. I always saw it as a Manson family gathering with a bar and poles. I am often surprised by the characters I meet there. The Furnace is an imposing, castle like building in a wrought iron fenced in lot surrounded by warehouses and industry on a pot hole ridden street just off the railroad tracks and freeway. A great location as far as I saw it. The flame theme lighting outside and the huge glass filled double front doors are artfully set between two lion statues I just love. I passed by the outdoor smoking coral on the way in very disappointed. Not smoking in a bar is like not having alcohol in a bar. Just bad business. I always recommend an outdoor area where strippers and patrons can relax and enjoy their time in such a situation. The door man WAS an asshole, so the internets did not lie. I expected as much so had my bag of tricks handy on my way into the door. He was very unhappy that I filled in his mandatory "membership card" with Fred Sandford as my name. It did not match my drivers license. He patted me down and found my pocket knife, and I was relieved I left my gun in the truck. So was he. When I paid my $10 entry fee, I told them to find me on the floor when my pizza arrived. The main floor was amazing. The woodwork was spectacular, with poles that jutted out of the floor about 12 foot high and twin carvings of topless maidens like on the front of a ship hovering over them. On either sides of the main stage were two identical runways with something I have never seen before. Floor to ceiling poles on bearings so they freely rotated. The effect is truly magical. To the far left from the door was the tan leather sofa section, what I referred to as the sticky sofa section, but it was very clean, and the staff is very diligent in keeping the tables empty and dry. I know, I lost my half full coffee twice. On the right side is the bar and dining area. Yes, I said dining area. The Furnace had a full menu, and the stuffed potato I saw a perfectly proportioned stripper named Lutz eating looked and smelled very well made. The ladies were high class, good looking, and well endowed. Clean, and with well controlled or non existent drug habits. There was only one girl I though may have been a bit loopy, but she could have been 100% natural. I talked a bit to a Liz, and she was impressively intelligent, seemed interested in conversation, and not pushy at all. Although she was a little too curvy for my tastes, she was mentally challenging and sarcastically witty, so I really could have sat at the bar and talked to her all night. I am far too cheap to have experienced the VIP balcony, which I hear is $100 a girl and $50 per 15 minutes, but was enticed into a $25 lap dance that was worth every half dollar. On my way out of the club I asked the doorman if my pizza ever arrived, and he told me he ate it. Oh well. All in all, I would recommend the furnace, and would like to visit again, if my wife does not pitch another fit.

The ambiance of the club is very nice. The establishment itself is very nice you can tell alot of money was put into the building but this by far the worse experience I have had in a strip club. I went on my birthday which was on a weekday and also the championship game was on so I give them a pass for that but as we walked on no one greeted you which is odd since the dancers made money on being cordial. Stood at the bar for about 10 mins it's was very cold so I decided I just wanted to leave as we walked out a waitress chased us out and said they had waitress on the floor which was her so i said ok give it another try. Came back in had a seat still no one greeted you. Ok this is the second time the dancers were standing around talking and laughing among themselves. My party and I sat they for almost an hr with one drink and no interaction from no one. When I tell you the club was abosutley empty and one I mean no one spoke looked or even came our way. Management tried to smooth it out saying someone would be on stage after the game but it was funny how others got dances and conversation except us. I have been to many strip clubs from Chicago to Maimi and I have never been so ignored in my life I was ready to tip and have a good time but this was a very aggravating and uneventful visit . It may be along time before I revisit this place of business. Very disappointing. read more

The Furnace - Front of the building - Strip Clubs Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Solid strip club. I like the setup, which lends itself to not hassling the customer. I've only encountered one dancer who actually came among the customers to sell private dances...didn't care for that much since I told her "no" seven times in 4hr. My most recent visit a couple weeks ago boasted a good group of talent...always makes the night more fun when people are engaged rather than just sitting idle. Not the best, not the worst...solid. read more

I really like The Furnace. It is a very classy environment, I went on a Monday, it was so quiet and laid back I was shocked that a strip club could be so serene. It is beautiful inside the club. The food was good. The dancers were talented, not all were great looking, but there were a few. The dancers were a mix of races and shapes which is also nice. read more

Not digging the new uniforms.... missing the individuality from each dancer! Looks very cheap #notagoodlook

Daycare was closed... They really need a kids section. Had to tell my kids to sit outside while I made it rain on Cynthia, they said the music was too loud as well. read more

Furnace, like any other strip club, can easily be your best friend of your worst enemy. It all just depends on how well you can work "the system." Fortunately, I know how these places work on the inside so, they became my best friend. If you don't know how to work it, then Furnace will be just another clip joint trying to milk you for all you're worth. The door staff will come up with excuses as to why your cover charge is more than everyone else's...or why you even have to pay one. If you lack self control, street smarts, or aren't good with women then you will get hustled by the girls(its not that they're good hustlers, its just that most men who let themselves get hustled are stupid). On the other hand, if you're in control of yourself, you can have a great time. The girls know what most guys who go to strip clubs are like and take advantage of them, so don't be one of them. Be firm and confident, straight up tell her if she's not your type...and if she is, be funny and easy going, tip a lot but a little at a time, and odds are you'll have fun. You also don't have to spend thousands or bribe bouncers to get a seat... If you're in good with the said dancer, just have her hook it up. The girls! Thats the main thing right? Well, the ones at Furnace are Southern, and I only love Southern gals, especially from Alabama or Georgia. They are-definitely some of the best looking dancers in town overall. Although it depends on what time and what day you show up. The music policy, at least late at night... is better than what you hear at the clubs in town. Locals should never pay a cover. If they try to charge you one they're scamming you. They follow the Vegas rule. Lap dances are $20. Don't pay more than that. Some, maybe most, of the dancers will try to scam you because they're used to guys who let themselves get hustled. If they act like their sh*t doesn't stink, give you a sob story, or try to manipulate you, move on to the next one. Straight out tell them you're not a trick. There are plenty of hotties there so don't worry. While my advice may sound somewhat forward, believe me, you'll get a lot more respect when you don't have "sucker" written on your forehead. This place is a walk in the park compared to clubs in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed my time. read more

Been coming here for years & always have a good experience but I've notice the girls wearing uniforms here recently and I'm NOT a fan.. I miss the individually of each girl.. the uniforms make it feel very Corporate (Less enjoyable).. I can go to Hooters or twin peaks and see the same..but the girls are amazing, Sharlay, Emma, Garrett... they'll give a great experience even In those basic "uniforms" I have never had a single complaint when the girls were allowed to show self expression.. one of the main reasons I've always loved this place. Bring it back!!!!! read more

Very comfortable, well-decorated, modern club. The bartenders were friendly, drinks were moderately priced, the music was better than I expected...and not a single unattractive dancer. The Furnace may be one of only a few gentleman's clubs in Birmingham, but it might as well be the only one. It's so far above its competitors. My husband and I had a great time, the dancers weren't pushy, they seemed to enjoy their job, the entire atmosphere was fun and energetic...and this was from 2am-4am when we were there. We can't wait to go back, and spend more money. :-) read more

Probability the best gentlemen's club in the USA. The ribeyes fantastic! Ppl are very nice and cordial. I would highly recommend you go here if you like light life. You can but your own drinks watch girls dance naked read more

I was not too sure about this place because it was in the middle of no where but I ended up very surprised . Nice inviting r and good music . I went with my boyfriend and I liked the fact that there was a lot of couples there . Drinks are pricey though so I recommend you drinking before you go just to get get a good buzz before you go . The girls were pretty good too . You had a variety and about half were good looking . I would definitely go again with my boyfriend . read more

Actually a very nice club, friendly girls, as is expected. Was very satisfied with my experience until the check arrived. This place will charge you, without warning, for whatever the girls are drinking while they socialize/solicit. Expect your check to more than double. read more

I tell you, I have NEVER seen such an unprofessional place in all my life. It's ashamed to, because the building is SUPER nice. However, the same can not be said of the dancers. I know for a fact that there is a Furnace manual for dancers that they ALL receive a copy of when they are hired. They also sign something stating that they have read the manual and understand that violating it can result in them being dismissed. It clearly states that they MUST accommodate the customer when he asks for a dance or asks for a dancer to sit with him and he offers to get the dancer a drink. The ONLY time a dancer could refuse such would be in a RARE instance where the guy is a danger to her very safety, in which case, if it is THAT bad, then the guy has been barred from the club anyway. Unless it is one of those extremely rare instances, then a dancer refusing service is grounds for termination. It is their job to entertain the PAYING customer. I go to work every day, Monday-Friday and deal with people that I don't like. But, it's my job, and if I want to get paid, I had better find a way to do it. Same is true for dancing. If you don't "like" some guy (that you don't even know), then find a way to fake it. And at least take the time to get to know the guy before you decide that you hate him. Sheesh....And if you must hate him, then by all means, hate him, but grow up and do your job, otherwise, you aren't going to be successful in this business. But, I fault the club for hiring girls who are too immature to be professional at what they do. read more
