First time visitor to Whiskey a Go-Go. It was on a Friday afternoon, there were few patrons and the dances did not start till about 5:30pm. I'm not a fan of the large stage; I prefer smaller, more intimate, stages so that I can see the dancers close up and in all their glory. There was no cover charge when I entered, which was a plus given that nothing was going on at the time. The drinks were about what you'd expect to pay at a club, but the waitress was very attentive to people entering and not pushy at all when it came to re-ordering. The DJ was hilarious, and each dancer would dance for 4 songs, the first 2 were partially clothed, topless for the 3rd, and fully nude for the last song. I was surprised to see that none of the patrons were tipping the dancers on stage, so when I slapped my $5 on the stage, I was pleasantly surprised to be brought up on stage, where I lay on my back and received a very nice and intimate dance.
Definitely tip the stage dancers!
You have to pay a onetime fee of $20 for a wristband ($10 on Sundays) that grants you access to the VIP room, and $20 for each private dance. The VIP area is dimly lit, the ambience was nice, but i would have preferred seeing more of the ladies bodies. There were semi private booths arranged like small office cubicles throughout, giving a modicum of privacy unless someone walked right by the doorway. The dancers would sit and chat with you until the next song started up, which was a great way of ensuring you got your full song's worth. The first dance is usually topless only, they won't go fully nude until the second song. I guess this is their way of making you want to pay for more songs.
Four of the lovely ladies that night really impressed me, and I want to recognize them here.
Elena and Aries are two lovely Filipino ladies, who showed the most technical pole and dancing skills of all the ladies I saw that night, they were both very sweet and approachable and I had a great time chatting with them before, after, and during our private dance.
Stacy was very beautiful with a great body, she blessed me with the best lap-dance I have ever experienced. I know she does this for a living, but she felt and sounded like she was really into it, and that made the experience so much hotter and more immersive than i'm used to.
Aubrey came in late and stole my attention away from Elena and Stacy. Very open and friendly, we connected after chatting for just a few minutes, and she made good on her promise to show me a great time in the VIP room.
There was one lady who shall remain nameless, but i only mention her because it was the one time i felt really dissapointed with a private dance. My mistake was not chatting and connecting with her first. She looked absolutely gorgeous and I just walked up to her and asked her for a dance. Unlike the previous ladies, she was very cool, aloof, business-like and mechanical about the whole thing, leaving me feeling like a heel for "forcing" her to dance for me. Several times i had to ask her what was wrong.
Maybe she was having an off night, who knows? my advice to you, is to chat up the ladies for a few minutes before deciding on a private dance. The better you get to know each other, the better the dance.
I didn't give the club full marks only because i've been to a club in the U.S that deserves a perfect rating, and this club was only slightly below that. Top marks would have been awarded if the decor were upgraded to be classier with more private stages.
I will definitely be visiting again. read more
