Without a doubt the weirdest strip club I have EVER been to. Took an Uber to the location and I thought I was in the wrong place. The front of the building is completely black. It has NO sign or lights telling you the name of the club. It looks like an abandoned warehouse. There were a group of actual police cars parked right across the street from where we were standing. I don't know if the club hired them or they were there just in case. Got in line and more weirdness ensued.
As soon as we get in line there was another guy in line telling us that we had to basically leave because it was an All-White party. I'm like "I'm literally out here on vacation. How in the hell am I supposed to know it was an All-White party tonight?" He said he was a promoter but he didn't seem to work for the club. Then I pointed out how it was another guy in line with NO white on at all. So we stayed in line.
I checked Google before we got there an it said the club opened at 10:30pm. We were there at 10:45 and the place was STILL not open. Never been to a strip club that wasn't open at least by 9:00pm. The owner's said that they would open by 11:00 so we stayed. The club didn't actually start letting people in until like 11:15pm.
More people began to come dressed in all-white. Apparently the notice was posted on the club's Instagram. But everyone doesn't check Instagram before they go out. Especially if they are from out of town. We made friends with a guy in line who said he was an up and coming rapper. He was the guy also not wearing any white. More guests begin to show. Literally some of the hottest girls you will ever see in your life came there to party. You know the L.A. girls you see on Instagram? Well they are real and look even better in person!
Then more weirdness ensued. A fat weird homeless looking guy came up to us in line and told us he could get us in the club. We thought he was some crazy vagrant but our new friend believed him so I kinda went along. Turns out he was legit! He was an actual promoter! He not only got all three of us in but he got us in even before the so-called promoter who told us we needed to be wearing white to get in!
I didn't have enough cash to get in so I went to the club's ATM. No big deal. Wait a minute. The ATM has a $100 withdrawal limit!! Are you kidding me? I tried several times to withdraw more money but the ATM won't allow anything past $100. It was $60 a person to get in so I was short. Without hesitation our new friend gave us the rest of the money to get in. We didn't even know this guy. He was really cool. So we get in and there are two more ATMs upstairs. I try to use both but they seem to be all connected to the same network. So I am at a strip club and can't take money out? I have plenty of money in my account but can't get to it because of the $100 limit.
THEN, we find out that this club is standing room only unless you buy a bottle. Only the second strip club in the whole country that I have been to that's like this. They have a really nice lobby with plenty of seating but you can't see the room with the dancers in it because there is a wall there. If they were to knock out that wall the club would have WAY more room and be PERFECT! We weren't about to stand up all night and we didn't want a bottle so we left. Was then told that we couldn't leave out the entrance. You have to exit out the BACK of the club. Go down a steep set of stairs and then walk thru an ALLEY to get back to the front of the club. Weird.
Went to a different club and went to the ATM and found out that my ATM card was LOCKED because of the failed attempts to draw money from Ace of Diamonds because of their stupid $100 limit. Also discovered that they charged me $200 for the attempts even though I didn't receive the MONEY!! Had to call my bank to dispute the charges. WEIRD club. Super hot girls, great decor. Looks like it would be a complete blast if only they had seating, better management and their ATM machines weren't so stupid.
