The Men's Club (Dallas, TX)

Quality of Dances (10.5/20) – The Dallas clubs all seem to have a huge variation from one girl to the next, and the Men’s Club is no exception.  I’d rate a good dance here at around a 13 and a bad dance at around an 8, but you’ll mostly get some decent contact and are usually allowed to touch anywhere except the area that’s covered by their bikini bottoms.   I was told that the no-fabric rule is relaxed if you go to the VIP area, but the grinding is usually good enough during the regular dances that I wasn’t too tempted to upgrade.

Quality of Dancers (9/10) – Pretty much every woman I saw in here was either very hot or absolutely stunning.  Other than a higher than average percentage of girls with implants, I had no complaints. 

Number of Dancers (8.5/10) – I haven’t been here during the day, so I can’t speak to that, but they had a few dozen women working at night and everyone who wanted attention got it. 

Variety of Dancers (2/5) – Most of the workforce is white, but I did see a few black girls and a few Asians, and there were some slightly curvier girls who were very attractive as well.  They weren’t quite big enough to be described as thick, but they were definitely soft enough to feel great during the dances. 

Attitudes (5.5/10) – You can expect some hustle and some well-practiced lines to try to push you towards the VIP area, but most of the ladies do sit and chat and are generally pretty friendly.

Value (3/10) – The $20 cover is pretty rough and you’ll have to budget a few bucks to the valet guy, but things aren’t too bad on the inside unless you want to drop $150 to go to the VIP area.  Beers are $6.50 and dances are very reasonable at $20 each since they play fairly long songs.

Club Setup (9/10) – This is a very large, classy club with a lot of tables and the most comfortable strip club chairs ever. The two stages in the main area and the one in the back aren’t overly large and don’t have poles, but they are nice and have some impressive smoke effects.  Between the smoke and the high-backed chairs, there’s almost an illusion that the girls on stage are floating up there.  If you’re willing to spend $150 to go to the VIP area, it’s ridiculously nice, with a swimming pool and a hot tub for you to enjoy with the dancers.

Dance Setup (1/10) – Dances are given in a raised area in the back of the club on a very long bench along the wall.  There are some pillows thrown around on the bench and it’s long enough that you shouldn’t be directly next to anyone, but there are no dividers and there are a bunch of tables and chairs in that area where guys who aren’t getting dances can sit, so there’s no real privacy.

Atmosphere (8/10) – I usually don’t love places that are this classy, but the Men’s Club manages to pull of the upscale vibe while still being somewhat relaxed and a lot of fun. For a night out with business associates or your more mature friends, you really couldn’t do much better. 

Location (4/5) – The Men’s club is right beside a hotel and is within walking distance of Baby Dolls and a Waffle House, so it’s a pretty good location even though it’s fairly far to the northwest of downtown Dallas. 

Overall – The Men’s Club isn’t worth going too far out of your way for, but it is a very solid club that you should be able to have a good time at.  Whether you prefer it over the nearby Baby Dolls will come down to what kind of club you’re looking for, but they’re about equally good overall.  Baby Dolls has more dancers, lower prices and a more of a party atmosphere, but The Men’s Club has better dances, slightly hotter women and is classier.  If you don’t have a big preference either way, I recommend starting your night at The Men’s Club while you’re still sober, then heading over to Baby Dolls once you’ve had a few.   

RAW SCORE = 60.5

Baby Dolls (Dallas, TX)

Quality of Dances (9/20) – You’ll rarely find more variation from one girl to the next than at Baby Dolls.  A good dance here is very good, with most girls being fine with hands on the tits, but a bad dance here is pretty poor and I did witness several girls moving customers’ hands away if they roamed anywhere beyond the hips.  In general, you’ll get at least a weak grind, but I was a little disappointed in the dances overall.

Quality of Dancers (8/10) – The dancers here were a step down from the quality at the Men’s Club down the street, but I thought they were a little bit better than the girls at The Lodge.  If you like overdone implants, you’d probably prefer The Lodge, but either way, the ladies at Baby Dolls are generally very attractive and you shouldn’t have any problem finding a girl that you like.

Number of Dancers (10/10) – I don’t know that I’ve ever seen more girls in a club than at this place.  There were about 5 dancers on the one stage, two on the other, and a ton of girls working the crowd.  I actually may have preferred that they cut down on the number a little bit so that they could have some quality control, but I’ll never complain too much about a club having too many girls, and it’s easy enough to avoid the ones who aren’t your type. 

Variety of Dancers (2.5/5) – Most of the dancers are white, but I did see some Latinas and a few Asians, and there were some ladies with very nice curves.   

Attitudes (2/10) – Most of the girls won’t speak to unfamiliar faces other than to ask if you want a dance.  A few will sit and chat, but this definitely isn’t a place to come for conversation unless you’re a regular.  Since they have so many ladies, though, it’s actually a good thing that they don’t waste too much time chatting so that the next one will have a chance to see if you want a dance.     

Value (7/10) – The $3 cover is a bargain, $5.50 beers aren’t bad, and the $20 dances are reasonable, but the real value comes from just sitting back and watching the stage.  The floor work is decent, you can get reasonably good action at the rail for a few bucks, and there are so many women to look at that you’ll never get bored.   

Club Setup (8/10) – This place is huge.  There’s a very large main stage, 4 satellite sages on the one side and two more stages near the stairs, plus there’s an enormous bar in the center of the club and another on the second floor, and there’s plenty of seating with a mix of small tables, bar seating, and some high top tables. It’s a little rundown, the bar is way too bright and there are no poles on the stages, but the fact that you have a view of so many in-use stages more than makes up for the club’s other shortcomings.

Dance Setup (2/10) – You can get your dances on the second floor in chairs along the wall or you can sit in an area behind the stage where there a bunch of chairs and tables.  Either way, you won’t be obscured from the view of anyone near you except by the back of your chair, but people on the main floor at least won’t be able to see you, though one way glass does allow you to have a view of the main stage if you’re on the first floor. Unfortunately, dances at Baby Dolls are popular, so you’ll always have a lot of people near you while you’re getting yours. 

Atmosphere (8/10) – The DJ is obnoxious and there’s lots of country music, but overall I really liked the atmosphere here.  It’s definitely more of a party than the Men’s Club.  That’s where you go with business partners; this is where you go with your buddies when you’re planning to get rocked. 

Location (4/5) – The best strip clubs in Dallas are all in this area to the northwest of the city, so you’ll be near some other options if you stop by and don’t see any girls who interest you.   More importantly, Baby Dolls is within walking distance of several hotels and a Waffle House, both of which are necessities if you’re planning to drink anywhere near as much as I did.

Overall  - This is an excellent club overall, though the mediocre lap dances mean that I’m not going to be in a huge hurry to return.  Still, given the huge number of attractive girls and the party vibe, I don’t think anyone could have a bad time at Baby Dolls.

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.
