The Lodge (Dallas, TX)

Quality of Dances (12.5/20) – As with everywhere around here, your mileage may vary big time, but most girls give a good grind and two way contact is generally fine.  I don’t know how common extras are, but at least some of the ladies are pretty direct in offering them.  Without any prompting, I got this sales pitch from one of the first girls I accepted a dance from: “Are you sure you just want a lap dance? I bet you’d like getting your cock sucked even more.”

Quality of Dancers (6/10) – There are a ton of ridiculously overdone implants and too man post-plastic surgery faces at the Lodge, but nothing about this place made me expect subtlety.  A lot of guys like comic book tits, and, if you do, you’ll love this place.  I don’t, so I didn’t, but the ladies are relatively attractive overall even though it’s a definite step down from what you’d find at Baby Dolls or the Men’s Club. 

Number of Dancers (7/10) – They have one girl on the main stage, one girl on each of two satellite stages, and another girl dancing on a stage in the back, plus many girls work the crowd at all times.  It does seem to be somewhat of a local’s place and I didn’t get a whole lot of attention, but there are definitely plenty of women to look at.

Variety of Dancers (1.5/5) – Other than a few cute black dancers, this workforce was white and thin, mostly with enhanced tits. 

Attitudes (3.5/10) – These ladies aren’t unfriendly, but you shouldn’t expect much conversation before they ask for money because they’d understandably rather spend time with regulars than take a chance on an unfamiliar face.

Value (3/10) – There’s a $10 cover, beers are $6.75, and table dances are $20, so you’re not going to burn through money, but nothing is a bargain with the possible exception of the stage show, which usually allows you to get a little contact for a few bucks.

Club Setup (6.5/10) – You’re either going to love or hate the setup at this place. The ladies enter the main stage by walking out of a fake cave that’s surrounded by a stuffed leopard and various other animals, and the whole thing really looks more like a cheesy theme restaurant than a strip club.  The chandelier made of antlers really completes the look. Like a lot of the Texas clubs, there’s no pole on the main stage, but there are at least polls on the satellite stages at the Lodge, and everyone has a decent view from the small tables that fill the main room and the nice bar off to the one side.  There’s also another room in the back with a small stage, lots of chairs and another nice bar, and there are a few more seats upstairs. Overall, I think this may be the most ridiculous looking club in the world, but I do have to give them credit for being unique. 

Dance Setup (0/10) – You get your dance at your seat on the main floor, which is as bad as it gets.  Based on the offer of a bj, I assume there’s another location available for people who are willing to pay more, but no one pointed it out to me and I wasn’t interested in finding it anyway.

Atmosphere (6/10) – The Lodge tries to walk the fine line between having a party vibe and being an upscale gentlemen’s type of place. It doesn’t fully pull off either, but it’s not an uncomfortable place to hang out for a bit and have a few beers.

Location (3.5/5) – This isn’t downtown Dallas, but you’re within an easy cab ride of The Lodge from several hotels and two of the other top strip clubs in the area, Baby Dolls and The Men’s Club.  If you’re planning to make a night of hitting the Dallas strip clubs, you’ll be staying in this area, so the location is fine. 

Overall – I have no doubt that a lot of men will love The Lodge.  It’s got flash and big titted ladies and good lap dances with some available extras, and there’s really nothing wrong with that.  It’s just not my style, so I don’t have plans to return anytime soon. 

RAW SCORE = 49.5
