REVIEW
I
was in Louisville 2 weekends ago and found this topless
spot called "Phats",
its on the corner of Broadway and 7th next to a White Castle. It gets hopping
at around 12 midnight. Paid $10
at the door. They had about the smallest stage I ever seen in one corner
by the bar. I was getting lap dances
at my seat for $5
a song. The place was very dark inside allowing Cream
to get to get naughty with me, so I got VIP
from her for $20,
but they had a dude watching thru the curtain for most of the song, so
we got away with just as much at my barstool. They also had a upstair setting
area where the DJ is, so you can go up there for laps
starting at $30
per song. They got $100
jacuzzi sessions.
I didn't enquire about that. Drinks are about $3.
GUEST
REVIEW - April 2004
I visited a few
clubs in town, starting with Tiffany's
new location at 4th & Central on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
for "Happy Hour,"
and found only a late 40 year old bartender on duty. (she still tried to
get me to buy one of those expensive drinks -- for her)!
A stop 4 hours later had a bevy of chocolate that would please most men. Another stop was at the Green Light on 7th in Shivley. I stopped on three different occasions, but it seemed that only one sister was employed there, and she wasn't too interested in working.
Thursday night I
found the infamous Hourglass Lounge
on Schipp, most people think this place is closed, but let me tell you,
I HAD THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE THERE! They don't open the doors till 10
P.M., and then only Thursday, Friday & Saturday. I didn't leave till
4:00 A.M., and spent the whole evening with one lady. In fact I spent a
few afternoons with her too. She was the first one to set down next to
me when I arrived, and we hit it off right away. She was an Angel,
not like most dancers I've met, she wasn't "hardened" by the profession.
This lady was 25, 5' 6", a pixy face and smile, a thick body, and when
she pulled my face to her chest during a lap
dance, I had a nipple at each ear. To say
she
was "built" would
be an understatement. I've had a lot dances in these bars over the years,
but this place was off the hook.The contact was EXTREME, the grindage had
me hurting by the end of each evening. Things amost got out of hand for
us during a private dance, we both were hot and out of control to the point
were we almost did the deed right next to the D.J. booth, we finally got
things under control and decided to get together out of the club. We made
the most of what we had. I will be finding a way to get to Louisville again
real soon.
SIDENOTE:
There has been
a lot of LE crackdown
on all the clubs in Louisville,
but so far they
have left the Hourglass alone, and I figure that this
is the only club
in Louisville that you can get decent dance in. I
think because of
the 2 door entry, and pat down, it would be
difficult to infiltrate
the club. The lady that runs the club is a
jewel, and made
me, feel very comfortable in the club. The thug
factor didn't seem
to be too bad, and everyone was just there to see
these beautiful
black dancers.
DARKSIDE'S 2002 VISIT TO LOUISVILLE
Hour
Glass Lounge
651
W Shipp Ave (just off of 7th Street S)
Damn. This
spot apparently was da shiznit, but the night I went it definitely was
not hittin'. Which
was quite a disappointment,
since finding this hole in the wall can be challenging. You gotta
look
real hard or
you will roll right past this spot. Cover is $5,
I think. Once inside they got a bar and the
stage is in the
back. The place is well furnished enough considering the rundown
appearance of
the building.
They got good access to the fire escape. Anyway, the night I went
the Hour Glass
had
about 8 or 9
gals up in the spot with a sparse crowd, especially for a Saturday.
The club is darker
then a muthafucca.
It took me a while to see where the stage was at. There were some
hard-working
sistas in the joint. I decided to holla at this yella thang who called
herself
Cashmere.
Ole girl was not the best in terms of customer service. I had been
warned about her attitude, but being the optimistic baller I am, I decided
to take my chances with her in the VIP
(two songs for $20).
Needless to say, Cashmere's
dances could not make up for her stank attitude. Sad to say, she
was the tightest babe in the joint. Thus, my time spent in Hour
Glass was all of 30 minutes and I was out.
The other dancers seemed to be much friendlier. I doubt seriously
if you could get away with anything in the VIP,
but they do turn the lights out. Oh yeah, if you get change, they
give you "Hour Glass Dollars." I was like, what the fuck? But
it's all good. They cash out any you got left over once you leave.
Go check out the spot anyway if you in town. Maybe I caught it on
a bad night.
Tiffany's
319
S 3rd Street (downtown)
This piece was
a block away from my hotel and thus very convenient. My original
plan was to coax
a dancer up to
the room for a little freaky-deaky
for cash action.
I rolled in at about 9:00 pm on both nights I was in town. Both times
there were only about three girls in rotation. They were all pretty
tight, but the energy was low. I was the only customer, so I rolled.
I came back later and it was about the same, except there were a few more
playaz chillin' in the spot. The dancers were mostly young, most
likely new to the game. In fact, this one I holla'd at said she had
only been dancing for two weeks! I asked about laps - they start
at $33, and then
it's $10 per
song after that. They got a couple of semi-private booths
for laps, but
there's no way anything is going to jump off in there on the under.
At least there's no cover.
However, you will be asked to "buy the ladies a drink." Watch out
for this one. Dancer's drinks start at $12
and go up! Unless you buy the dancer a drink, you can't sit
and kick it with
her. It's a bullshit
policy that I've only found in Kentucky. The regulars don't get
hassled as much
as the unsuspecting visitors. If this spot gets some tight sistas,
it can have
great potential
as hotel rooms are right across the street, and around the corner, etc.
There's no
cover, so stick
your head in the door and see what's shakin'. If it's weak, you can
bounce with
no commitment.

7th Street S (@ Central & 7th St S)
On a tip from
a local baller, I decided to try out this mixed joint. How this muthafucca
stays open
is a mystery
to me. It's right in the middle of a residential community and across
the street from
what looks like
a damn museum. The place looked slow, few cars in the lot, but I
rolled up in
anyway.
The scene was really really slow. No girls going on stage, just a
bunch sitting at the bar.
There were about
four cute sistas and several white chicks. I think I was the only
customer at first,
and this was
at about 11:00pm on a Saturday. A few dudes rolled in behind me.
I decided to be
proactive since
it was obvious the dancers were content with just sitting on their asses.
Toni,
a
slender, caramel
hotgirl
caught my eye at first. Toni
has a very nice personality. I was quite
relieved because
the mood did not catch me as positive for a brotha at first. Within
seconds of
introducing myself
to Toni, a waitress
asked if I would "like to buy the lady a drink?" I asked how
much dancer's
drinks were, and she said they started at $14!
I was like 14 gotdam dollas???
Shit! So
I told her to come back in a minute. She came back in 30 seconds,
and I told her to chill,
and that I was
just trying to converse with that sista etc etc. Next thing I know
the manager, a
white chick who
looked like the mom off the Brady Bunch, ran up on me and was like "Are
you
going to buy
the lady a drink, or what?" Damn. So I ponied up $14
and they gave ole girl a
pop!!!
Ill shit. Ill shit. Anyway. I asked Tina
about the dances (1 lap
= $21 in the
front section,
3 laps =
$49
in a slightly more private
section, and then there's 20 minutes for $80,
30 minutes for $100,
etc etc up to $260
in the very private VIP area.
Toni
has only been dancing for 3 months, so I decided to get a lapdance
with her instead of risking a trip straight to the VIP.
Her laps were
raw, but got me interested enough to make the VIP
move. After brief "negotiations" we were led by one of the barmaids
to the private VIP
area (be sure to tip the barmaid at least $5
to insure privacy). All I'll say here is Toni
took real good care of Darkside
in the VIP.
Holla at her when you visit, you will not be sorry. Buy her a drink.
I did not see the "famous" Diamond
in the house. Must have been her week off.
Club
Cookies
3027
4th Street S (@ Central & 4th St S immediately east of Churchill Downs).
Club Cookies
is
a relatively new ebony spot in Louisville. Supposedly Thursday nights
is
pretty jumping,
but I was there on a Saturday. Cover is only $5
and you get a pat-down by
a sista.
Ole girl will grab your jewels,
so be ready. The first thing that will strike you about this
spot is how bright
it is. I mean, I usually am trying to be on the low-low when I'm
at the club.
You know what
I'm saying? I like to grab a spot in a dark corner and peep the scene,
so that if
somebody from
my day job rolls in, I can duck out undetected. But this spot is
lit up like a 7-11 on
the inside.
But it's all good. The stage is in back of the bar, so unless you
got an arm like Michael
Vick you can't
tip
the stage. The girls come down after their set and beg for ones.
Not a good policy.
Too bad they can't get love
on the stage. I kicked back in a booth and watched the rotation.
There were some pretty choice honeys shakin' it ... Showtime
and phat ass Rum
were two of the standouts. Rum
rolled up on me and asked me to buy her a cocktail....$20!!!!
They really need to stop with that shit, but on the real, in Club
Cookies, they don't sweat you if you don't
buy the dancers a drink right away. There's no "drink minimum" pressure.
I like that. A brotha can chill and watch the ass
and take his time. Rum
asked me to get a dance
with her. She quoted me $25/song,
which ain't exactly true. Watch out for the hustle!
After that, I was undecided about who to spend my money
on until Kat
and her fine chocolate ass
hit the stage. Kat
was clearly the class of the spot. At first I thought she might be
stuck up because most of the night she was chillin' at the end of the bar
and not really trying to mingle. I broke her off five
ones when she came by my table and sho' nuf
she came back to holla. Kat
has been in the game for almost five years and has sported a thong and
heels at clubs in the ATL and Nashville. She knows how to treat a
baller, and probably knows how to spot a baller who ready to drop some
mad scrilla.
Thus, I had no problem dropping a
Jefferson
for that drink for her (some kind of mixed cocktail), and then I sampled
her laps in the
VIP.
Kat
has veteran
lapdance
skills, and did not try to play me on the price.
I was so impressed by Kat
that she is Darkside's Ebony Entertainer of
the Month for April 2002! Kat
is available for private shows
