I came here with my college roommate and her bf one random night. She insisted we go to a "good" strip club. Â I was a bit hesitant but the gf agreed so we went to west LA to 4Play.. We arrived, payed the 20 dollar cover charge + mandatory drink crap and got seated at a small table. The strippers were definitely better looking then most. I'm not sure about the prices of the dances but it seemed to be pretty $$. That day I watched a stripper climb 20 feet into the air in a few seconds and drop down the whole way straight into a split. It was some circ-du-soleid shit. I saw her leave 20 minutes later all dressed in normal clothes. I guess when you're talented you only need to do one show? Hah. Anyway, this would be the first of many strip clubs my straight roommate would drag me to. I enjoyed it. If you have the cash to blow then go! Better then Spearmint for sure.
Review Source:My previous review was removed because apparently my language was too colorful. I will have you know that I wrote a review and was immediately private messaged threats on here from a person who works here. That being said. I did not enjoy anything inside of this establishment. The decor here was very old timey reminded me of a burlesque type of thing. I did enjoy that. However, the looks of the girls who work here were not up to my caliber. One of the dancers even asked the man I was with if he was gay because he was with me.... To me that's insulting. I believe her name was Sterling. Â The cover charge I think was $15 per person. We had 3 people and our tab was $45 to enter. The drinks were over priced and obviously they don't serve alcohol because it's full nudity. I think that it makes everything seem more creepy because the men who are actually drooling aren't doing it because they are drunk. I feel like the variety of women here is not really in tip top shape. There are just a lot of "6 year old boy" figures with huge fake boobs and flat butts. Overall my trip here was not what I was expecting and I will not be coming here again. I will find a new chamber of debauchery to frequent.
Review Source:Me becoming the duchess of this place only after two check-ins should say something.
You have to know which days to come on. Â Basically, any day ending in "Y" works. Â But, I don't always come here for the girls.... That's how you know this review is being written by a female. Â The decor is something that takes me away and brings me to a fantasy land. Â It's not your usual tacky decor. Â It's more upscale and pleasant.
The DJ is pretty good. Â He usually plays good music, a good mix of just about everything. Â His voice is not annoying over the microphone which is a big plus. Â You never want to be distracted with a loud obnoxious voice when a hot girl is grinding on you for about $9 a minute!!!! Â I swear the dances got a lot shorter, it sucks but I cope. Â It just feels like right when you are getting into it the song ends.
The back room where you get the one song dance no longer has benches. Â They replaced the benches with a chair. Â This could good and bad. Â It's good because the girls can actually sit on your lap in a comfortable position but on the other hand it's not as stable so they cannot do a lot of tricks. Â Last night I said forget the chair and I moved it aside. Â I stood up and let the girl grind up and down on me like I was the stripper pole, this was way more enticing. Â It worked out better than when I was sitting down. Â Now the 3 dance zone has they comfy couch booths that are in a little bit more of a private setting. Â This is definitely worth the extra money. Â Going upstairs is way pricier but people downstairs can see the action depending on where they are sitting because of it being a balcony area, which I don't like.
So far, I think I can only say that I have seen 3 great girls in here. Â Look for Leila, a super sexy mixed babe from the Bayou, Bella, a spicy and spunky Brazilian, and the last girl I cannot remember her name but she spanish and worth the dances. Â But if you're into showmanship find JADE. Â She puts on a real show. Â She should be performing on Broadway!!! Â Jade definitely sets herself apart from the rest of the girls. Â I'm definitely a fan!
There is ALWAYS a cover at the door, I HATE paying a cover, but the free street parking makes up for that... I guess. Â The 1 drink minimum is absurd especially since they charge you close to $10 a drink. Â That's ridiculous. Â This club definitely needs to lower their prices or I'll just have to find somewhere else to go.
Came here as part of my /going-away-to-Japan/ night with my friends and I was floored! [EVEN though I ended up paying for my friends dances']
Granted this was my first voyeur into a pleasure-sanctuary, but I had a great time!
The girls were all really hot and extremely talented, they worked the pole like acrobats and not just dancers.
It was very clean and well taken care of so that was great. Â
Girls usually wont approach you unless you're on your own, so that's a bit of a pitfall.
There were a couple of girls in particular who were amazing.
Tabitha was really and truly an acrobatic spectacle, the way she used the pole was something I'd never imagined!
Bella is their resident Brazilian who swayed like a Cobra to a piper's flute, i was enthralled with her entire performance.
[I received a private dance from her later and I came out in a daze; Â I was equal parts ecstatic, happy and satisfied. Â I seriously felt like I was walking on Sunshine, floating on air and I wasn't coming down anytime soon. Â
There was another girl, a blonde, whose name I can not remember. Â Her track list felt very 1920's and her dance complimented it very well, it was a very well performed routine; Â it almost felt like a dance that would be given by Jessica[who framed roger rabbit]
Lastly there was this dark haired fantasy whose name presently escapes me.
She was beautiful and talented and I regret not getting a dance from her too.
She was probably the most enthusiastic performer that night. Â Her movements were sensual and rhythmic.
There are 3 options available for private dances
One is 25 dollars with a 1song minimum, not very private and not really worth it. Â It will only leave you wanting more, though I guess that's true of everything at a Strip-Club.
The Second option is 30-dollars each with a 3 song minimum and offers you a lot more privacy and a little more hands on experience.
(I paid for one of these for each of my friends and they all came out in a blissful stupor that still has not faded]
The Last option is 200, it's on the second floor in your own themed room, can last either 5 or 10 songs 5 for 200, 10 for 400 and offers you the most privacy and the most...ahhhh erotic display.
I opted for this one with Bella as my dancer, we spoke Spanish and Portuguese to each other the entire time, totally sexy.
It was definitely worth it for my first time ever, it was memorable and I'll never forget it.
This is NOT A HOBBY for gentleman or ladies with a WEAK-WALLET because it will drain you. Â Definitely a once every couple-of-months adventure.
I had fun, you will too
This place is swanky. It has an old burlesque feel to it with the Victorian drapes and lamps. I went here with my hubby on a sat night, before 10pm and it was a bit slow but still I was amazed... The hottest girls in LA I've ever seen.  It is pricey tho.  $10 to get in, $6 non-alcoholic drinks ( no alcohol served with nude) and $25 lab dances, $50 for both of us with  one dance.  My hubby and I like to get couples lap dances together. Other than having to share my lap dance song, everything else was hot!! We sat at the pole area seating and tipped all the girls dancing. In my experience the dancers love couples because they get more handsy and flirty with the girls. All the dancers were super hot and one was even super model quality!!  Overall, awesome experience! Will def return!
Review Source:I always thought Gentlemen's clubs were funny, and its even more funny that they call them gentlemen's clubs.
I came here with the guys I grew up after a night out celebrating a birthday.
My friend bought me a lap dance because she thought it was funny; and indeed it was.
4Play is really spacious, and a little less grimy than your regular strip club. There are two floors, and it doesnt look like a dump compared to others I've been too.
Yes, I go to strip clubs ok, strippers arent real people anyways!
i've been here twice and each time, it's been largely disappointing.
there is little to no enthusiasm and you can almost see the vacancy in their eyes as go about their routines.
i recommend their sister establishment - Plan B. you can drink there and the girls choose their own music and really get into the dancing.
I celebrated my 23rd birthday here and it was everything I had pictured in my dirty mind! I did a bunch of research prior to settling on 4play, but this place had great reviews and was conveniently located in my West LA hood. (Don't let the sketchy Cotner location fool ya... this place is money). It was my first Cali strip club and I was definitely impressed. Please note: I'm straight, but I can appreciate a sexy lady gettin' low... rack city b****! Â Not to mention all of my guy friends were in heaven.
Anyway, I made reservation a few weeks in advance. The manager was super helpful and accommodating. We had a group of 20 people and we all arrived at the same time. We got in right away. Â They had us set up in booths right on the floor level. Obviously we did some major pre-gaming before the club so we all had a nice buzz going. I recommend getting some Red Bulls and keeping the party going. The ladies were gorgeous!!
Since I was tipsy and riding the "it's my birthday!" wave, I bought my friend and I a lap-dance from a sexy Asian. That was like $60 or something...I can't remember. Who cares, it was worth it.
Best of all, I got to go onstage for a birthday lap-dance!! Which turned into me on the floor with 4 ladies all up on me. These ladies went all out. Slightly embarrassing... but obviously I loved it... If you're into strip clubs, I can't see how you could have a bad time here.
How the hell could anyone give this place a bad review? Â Have you been to other L.A. clubs? Â If the girls aren't great looking, whats the point? Â Unfortunately, that criteria narrows this down to the ONLY strip club in L.A. Â Its weird that Dallas, amidst the bible belt, has much better clubs than L.A. (girls from other cities regularly fly into Dallas for the weekend because the money is so good). Â Most L.A. clubs are seedy with nothing worth seeing. The finest looking females work at 4Play because its under good management (also own Plan B), aimed a bit more upscale, attracting more money (have seen a few celebs).
Like every strip joint, the hotties mainly work the peaks of friday or saturday nights. Â Dont expect much on a sunday or tuesday. Â Nice faux-swank interior. Â Surreal, fake applause track played after each dance. Â Saturday (maybe friday) night there are impressive feature dancers each hour, like a contortionist or the dazzling fire dancer. Â Make no mistake, the people that work there are there to make money. Â $20 cover, $10 weekday, free before 9pm, and way overpriced, 1 non-alcoholic drink min (a tiny bottled water was $6+tip). Â I've noticed that if I remain standing for awhile after first coming in, then slip into a chair they dont bother about the drink min. Â By law, no alcohol can be served where the gals are nude. Â Everyone expects to get tipped from the valet to the waitress, the bathroom attendant, the dancers and the DJ (if you inquire about a song). Â Booths cost extra, which is worth if there with two or more. Â If you sit at the stage you are expected to tip each dancer. Â There is a bit of an oppressive, all-business atmosphere with suited gorilla bouncers with ear mics lurking around. Â I've seen a patron talking to one of them who apparently said the wrong thing, was promptly grabbed by the throat and dragged into a back room (is that legal?... was he ever seen or heard from again?). Â But its all worth for some of the most gorgeous women, and they generally let the more aggressive girls get away with extremely personal contact.
Theres a $20 lap dance dungeon in the back that is too dark to see anything.  A more comfy room with better lighting has a 3-dance  minimum.  Then the $200 "bed dance" rooms (5 songs) upstairs are where the real fun begins, depending on the girl (its a little too dark, but  I assume thats so the girls dont have to look at YOU).  The girls are always nice (have wound up in long conversations with some who never even hustled me for a dance), never strung out, and many give frisky dances as they are eager to earn.  They allow friendly touching but not GROPING.  Be cool and they may let you get away with more.  Encountered a few pros offering numbers if you are looking for more.  Surprisingly decent food if you get the better chef.  Girls have told me they tend to avoid couples, and guys in suits 'cuz they are usually a-holes'.  Street parking is scarce at peak times, and you may have to park a block or two away in a dark industrial area.
Mc Lovin says:
I met some of my friends her to hash out some ideas for a project we were planning.
Needless to say we did not accomplish much, we all had boobies on our minds...litterally thrust upon us.
Resistance was futile.
I felt cheap and dirty when I left even though it was a very lovely establishment that enticed my inner neanderthal instincts.
I shall return post haste.
3 stars means A-OK on yelp.
So, valet was decent priced, the neighborhood was decent. The cover not bad, to get a table it's $20 a person and drinks are additional.
The Club was very welcoming, staff was friendly and attentive. Bathrooms were good, sports channel was on nice :)
The only downfall is that out of 20 girls working last night, 4 were decent looking. I'm attracted to a curvy women, not fat but curves! These girls look like they needed to eat and some had faces from Hell! So I would highly recommend updating the talent. Oh! Liked the climbing up the pool and dropping it like it's hot.
If the girls were more of what my ideal is then for sure, I would give 5 stars!
My Brother and I were in LA for a Laker game this weekend and after reading the reviews on yelp we decided to hit this spot... Â This spot is tha buisness! Â All the girls were 8's or better! Â A wide variety but not one fat girl in tha house. Â Coming from Vegas where we live we weren't to sure how friendly the girls would be, found out LA 4 play ladies are very friendly and everything goes. Â No alchoholic drinks but I'll be bringing a flask next time and I don't think they'll even sweat it. Â Just like all strip clubs C.R.E.A.M. so don't be sheisty and you'll be treated like a king! Â To top
It off they gave us a free ride Back to our hotel in a limo, I loved this place and will be sure to hit it again.
I got bored within the hour. Â A real shame for a $15 cover and a 2 drink minimum.
Alright, so I'll try to be nice. Â Tall, thin, tan women with perky B and C cups, long straight hair, a hypnotic swish about on stage. Â If you like this sort of stripper so, so much that you don't need any variation at all to stay entertained then sure, this place might be for you. Â I've been to almost every strip club in LA at this point and can honestly say, no one does the stepford stripper act better than 4 play.
So that's the best part of it. Â The worst I think is a tie between the awful applause track they play at the end of every 'dance', and the fact that they served me an overpriced, completely curdled drink.
The atmosphere is very dark and chic and 'loungy'. Â It has tiny little tables and solo chairs. Â Awful for me who comes with my boyfriend and want to be able to get cuddly. Â Yes, I do feel a strip club should be accomodating to date nights. Â What?
We saw one girl who seemed to be a run off from Cirque De Solei or something similar, she did a pretty crazy set of gymnastic stuff with the pole. Â That's why they get 2 stars intead of 1. Â Other than her, the girls didn't "dance". Â They all just kind of swished around, in such a uniform manner that I blame the management, not the girls.
At the risk of lookin' like a dirty old man
I'll give my review on this place just first hand
Beauty of the dancers here are comparable to Vegas
Like from an issue of Maxim or the Playboy pages
15 for cover, no breaks, even for girls
The dancers look good, no high-heel wearing burros
Of every variety, from the fakest to toned down
In the ethnicity you are seeking from white yellow or brown
Price breakdown for dances goes 20 for the one
Then 50 for 2 backroom tunes, 2 hundred for upstairs fun
The bouncers are chill, and the stage ain't too far
It's 18+ here, so no full service bar
The drinks here are pricey, but that's to be expected
First drink is required, not just recommended
Every hour they have the two for 30 lapdance hustle
Where all girls get on stage, then go out and bustle
The dancers do their thing, but don't seem to press it
A no thank you to a lapdance won't get you arrested
But don't think it's prim proper don't go get depressed kid
Decent dances, not just air, if you feel like getting molested, lulz
Everyones reviews are pretty much on the dot! This was my first 'gentleman's club'. Came on a Thursday night for my 20th birthday. Expected cover charge to be 15 but it was 10. Bouncers were chill and nice guys but my friends ID which is real wasn't scanning for some reason so it kind of brought complications but he showed other forms of identification to clear things up. There is a 1 drink minimum and all drinks are 7 dollars. All drinks are non-alcoholic, I got a Red Bull. Â Was only there for a couple hours because we had a limo and got out late because dinner dragged on. There was a bathroom attendant who was a funny guy but I knew he was trying to make you want to tip him because he said he drove 7 hours away to get there and had a flat tire on the way.
But anyways, very cute girls here and there are definitely variety. Only 1 with small boobs. Side rooms are 25/song for a lap dance. Then upstairs for half an hour you can get a bed dance for 200. I will definitely have to try that one day. The dancers I decided to get dances from made everything very comfortable and weren't pushing for my money. Got to know them and very cool girls. I suggest bringing friends that are girls because the dancers are more 'playful' with your group. I even had a lap dance for 2 (me and my friend that's a girl) and it seemed that the dancer really enjoyed it. In terms of touching, the first girl, Jade, let me see more (got her vajay in my face), but the second girl, Nadia, let me feel more.. maybe because it was with my friend who was shy at first and she wanted her to have a good time. Â
Overall, I had a awesome time! Great girls, great place. Can't wait for the next time! Come here if you are looking for probably one of the nicest strip clubs to go to.
This club isn't as good as it used to be. The girls aren't as hot anymore. My boyfriend and I went the other night for dessert. Most of the girls are scared to approach couples. I think they feel threatened when there is another woman around. Who knows?
There were a few lookers, but I remember coming here two to three years ago and most of the dancers were drop dead gorgeous. I suppose it's still the best club in LA, but that isn't saying much.
WOW. I am now a huge fan of strip clubs without booze, or at least this one. This place markets and sells fantasy, and does an amazing job of it. I have not seen so many hot strippers in one place, ever. What a variety - girls of every ethnicity and height, even personality from sugar sweet to more well...forceful.
The dancers are very, very talented. Lots of acrobatics and beautiful movement right on beat. The staff are nice and low pressure, and the place has a very fun atmosphere. The lack of alcohol must work to keep the idiotic male behavior down to a minimum, which makes everyone more relaxed.
I second travis h's observation of this being a good place for a bachelor's party - as we were on our way out, I saw a guy get a 3-girl stage dance that had to make him think twice, or 3 times, about getting married the next day.
Number 200 !!
Why not talk about some nice #*@
Took my best friend here for his pre-married to tied down bachelors
party after getting dumb drunk in Long Beach. Then after leaving the club at 2am we had a fishing trip to the Islands at 5am.
Yeah, that boat rocking on a tummy of wiskey was hot!
As for the club it is realy one of the cleaner ones, better than the Vegas
infested greasy poles and old business men.
My goal was to embarres him, so after getting there I went to the back to find the girls and found one that does BD&SM on the side for a living. She was an atractive 40yr + that had heels to crack more than peanuts.
She did a big announcement then came off stage and grabbed him
to his strugle n surprise. Half way stripped him then made him lick her feet then bend over and whip him.
FCKK..no camera!
Some clubs have the hot, then the B girls.
I just about say they were all A's for that night.
So looking to send ur buddy off smelling like vanilla
"you guys know what I mean"....just make sure he showers before
heading home to the woman.
and I make sure he showed for the wedding and couldn't get away..haha
It was one of my closest friends birthday so we all decided to take him out (aka get him trashed) and hit up a strip club afterwards, since the guys have been taking about it for months.
I took it upon to choose the strip club so I decided that we all go to 4PLAY, it had good reviews on Yelp and it was only about 5 minutes away from our friends house.
So after we had a couple of drinks (by "couple" I mean 5-7 beers and at least 5 shots) at the local bar, we make our way to 4PLAY. All of us all dressed up, suited, looking sexy as usual, we were ready to spend some hard earned money aka "donating money for a charitable cause in singles".
As we make our way inside, we're greeted by its beautiful host and her 7 foot tall punching machine. Entrance fee is $15 (from what I remember).
We were asked if we wanted a table but since we were all gentlemen, we decided to sit up close. The inside was nice, classy look, dark setting, sensual music playing, it was truly a "Gentlemen's Club".
I have to say this, and my friends that were there can all agree with this, but I have never been to a strip club with such beautiful women in my life. I felt like I died and went to heaven, you know, since heaven has beautiful women, and a pole right in the middle next to Noah's Ark, and Jesus DJing all night long.
From what I was told by my friends, the lap dances were superb, they knew what they were doing and they did it right. I for one did not get a lapdance, not because I didn't want to but because my friend Oscar had already recieved a lapdance from the girl I had in mind and I felt like he tainted her... Him and his dirty paws. So no lapdances for me. Yes I know, I almost cried.....
So overall:
Drinks at the local bar: $200+
Bday present for the bday boy: $150+
Entrance fee at the strip club: $15
The amount of money my friend Ricardo spent on lapdances: $300+
The fun we had that night and certain things I cannot disclouse due to some graphic content: Priceless
A strip club without booze? Â That's like decaf coffee or non-alcoholic beer. Â
Though I have to give 4play at least 3 stars, because it's not their fault. Â I think it's like the law or something. Â If I can see bush, or the area where bush once existed, then I can't have booze.
So, Yelpers. please, write your congressman and ask that they change the law so I can see pink and drink a vodka soda at the same time.
Okay. First things first, I'm a strip club noob. When I decided to take the bf to a strip club for his birthday, I hit up yelp to piece together a rudimentary sketch of what I should expect to see in a strip club and the etiquette i should present. Most reviews I saw consisted of the words "sketchy" or  "overrated" except this one.
I chose 4play based on reviews and Yelp delivered. The interior is plush, intimate and MILES and miles away from sketch or seedy (and I didn't walk away feeling like a pervert).
Girls are gorgeous, all 8's and above, and super friendly to lady clients. However, the girls tend to shy away from approaching couples so be ready to flag one down if you think she's hot.
I left the bf for one minute to go to the bathroom and when I returned, a smokin' hot brunette was perched upon his lap (although she was surprised to see me at first). She gave a great couple's lap dance  ($50 + $4 credit card surcharge...LAME!) and even shoved my face into her lovely coconut scented bubbies...much to the satisfaction of the birthday boy
Be ready to buy drinks-- although the waitress didn't bother us after we bought one
Even if you're not into chicks, take your dude here and I'm guaranteeing he'll thank you when you get home (or even on the way home)
I love this place. I've gone to just about every strip club in the western hemisphere, and this is one of my favorites. The club is clean, the girls are clean, and it's a guaranteed good time. The dancers don't come off as the hustling type, which is nice. Because no one wants to be bombarded for lap dances every 3 minutes; give me a break.
Cover charge is cheap, drinks are not. But there's no complaining here. If you go to a strip club, expect to spend some money. There seems to be a lot of reviews that focus on how 4Play is a scam; the 1 drink minimum, the ATM charges .. whatever! If you can't dish out a couple twenties, then you shouldn't be here anyway.
The area is a bit sketchy. We couldn't even find the place the first time we went. I wouldn't want to be one of the dancers leaving after a late shift. Scary! Speaking of the girls, most of them are gorgeous, the remaining are still quite pretty. There's a good variety of music choices, dance styles, etc. All of the girls seem to have their own little twist, and they know what they're doing. I'll be making my way to Cotner Ave next weekend. 4 stars!
Let me just start by saying- I'm a female and I WANTED to go here. Quite eager to, actually.
My boyfriend and I ate at upstairs2 (check out my review) beforehand and didn't even know this club was a few steps away. The area doesn't feel grungy at all- just a bit like downtown in some of the more abandoned warehousey parts- but you're in west la! There was a new Ferrari and some other quality vehicles out front in valet and I'm the kind of person who finds some comfort in that.
Anyway- we paid a $15 cover each on a Friday night. The small tables seemed to be reserved or occupied- there were some booths open but we opted for the stage (also ample seating) Actually, we sat front and center. The ambiance reminded me of the Edison or some sort of speakeasy- I really dug it. Felt clean, no distinct smells, lots of beautiful girls walking around in classy lingerie- garters and such. The men there appeared to be a mix of your classic pretty boy, the suit, and even some scruffy hipster types.
The dancers were electric- most of them were very pretty. Good bodies, they knew what they were doing and had some sweet moves. I think I got more attention than any of the guys around the stage! One of the girls had me untie her bikini bottoms! Others just gaze into your eyes like you're the only one in the room and that maybe, just maybe, you two will run away together and make sweet love in a forest....DAMN YOU AND YOUR STRIPPER CHARM!!!
But really, it was a lot of fun, the girls seemed like they were having a good time AND they seemed to like female company! Next time, I'm going to have a little bit more to drink at Upstairs2 then head back over to 4play for a lap dance!
yeah so long story short ended up her on a friday afternoon for lunch. don't ask. the food was awful, but the ladies dancing were very pretty and quite athletic. one like scaled the poll and then cirque du soleil style shimmied around mid air. i was impressed.
basically this review is for the girls who get dragged here by their guy friends or boyfriends. its not as skeazy as most clubs, and honestly the girls are really pretty and friendly and i ended up exchanging beauty and workout tips with most of them. this one like beyond beautiful girl took a liking to the girls at our table and gave us a special dance, it was nice but her skin was softer than mine so i spent most of the dance pouting about that.
and i just reviewed a strip club. wow. what has my life come to?
Thanks for all the people who had reviewed this place before me, if it was not for them I would had never gone to this place. The place had a only a $10 cover, 90% of the women were smoking hot including the waitresses. And yeah there is a nice mix of ethnicity, just not big and black, what I promised I would get my friend. Â
I completely fell in love with the Bulgarian. A combination of her eyes, accent and body. She wasn't very good during the lap dance, but I was just happy she was in lap for a minute in my life. She said she was going to boot camp in a couple and I forgot to ask her to write to me. I would love to just keep in contact with such a lady.
My friends fell in love with a Asian number. She was your typical thin petite Asian woman with long hair, just with a hot attitude.
The only thing is some of the women have attitudes. One of the blonds would completely avoid you. And others would let you touch their breast while others would not.
And don't waste your money on water or soda, it's $9.00. You are better off buying a virgin cocktail or juice for that amount of money. We got 3 sodas and it already came out to $18.00
My lovely girlfriend and I have decided to start keeping public record of our naughty adventures. Partially for philanthropic reasons and partly to ensure neither one of us will ever be tempted to run for political office. Won't you join us on our journey? Great; hop on our magic brass pole and off we go.
I am amending my previous rating now that we go often enough that doormen, waitresses, the bathroom guy, and the dancers not only know us, but noticed that I've grown out my facial hair a bit. That is a bad sign, isn't it? Seriously, we were asked last weekend if we wanted our regular booth. Crap!
We LOVE 4Play. Hot women (Christ, they are pretty much ALL good looking) taking off their clothes to loud, often good music in a nice place - when we get tired of that I know it is time to buy a bunch of white polo shirts and move to Orlando.
First, I want to address a complaint I read in another review about female patrons being shunned; strippers are often intimidated by other women. I recently learned this from our new "friend" in Vegas. If you are female or have a female with you, attention might be a little more difficult to get without YOU expressing interest first. Do that, and you won't have any problems at all. It is true with any strip club that some of the girls have the personality of a three-toed tree sloth. But that is true about any group of people. Some are boring, some are fun. It is especially true of pretty girls who have learned they can get by on looks without having to go through the bother of developing in to an interesting person. However, there are also a lot of very cool girls here. Treat them like the people they are and you will make friends.
This is the nicest strip club I've been in, period. The lighting is perfect, it feels clean enough that you don't think twice about touching anything (stuff, not girls. Think twice about touching girls unless they invite it!). The furniture and decorations are way above the norm. There is even a restroom attendant. Tip him. He's a really nice guy and does a good job. Yes, he has taken all the paper towels out of the dispenser so you have to get them from him and yes, he expects you to tip him for that slight of hand, but he is the only one that makes sure the bathroom is in such good shape and that you don't walk in on some Darwinian throw-back "Choking Kojak". That last one alone is worth a dollar.
Per LA Law (the actual law, not the old TV show. They have no jurisdiction here, I looked it up) there is no booze served on account of the fact that you can see nipples in this fine establishment. If there is a more retarded law, please let me know. I thought the whole reason alcohol is perennially popular is because it can increase your chance to see nipples. So instead of going to any chosen boobie sanctuary sober, getting a bit sloshed, and watching boobs bounce until you sober up enough to realize you should leave, we are forced to get bombed (so you still have a good buzz 2 hours after arrival), DRIVE to the strip joint and watch boobs bounce until you sober up enough to realize you should leave. So, tipsy and looking at naked women in a safe, well regulated environment? = irresponsible. Bombed, driving and in a hurry to see naked woman? That's legislation we can get behind.
Anyway, I digress; no booze. Here is the smart option if you like a little social lubricant to go with your fruitless pining over women out of your league: grab a small bottle of The Captain and add a little (or a lot, I don't judge) to the $6.00 Cokes you are ordering. Do it subtly so they don't have to kick your dumb-ass out and make it harder for the rest of us.
The waitresses are all decent (slow, but what's your hurry, Bub?), but Stephanie (the Blondie one) is our favorite. She is a big sweetheart and definitely worth talking to. The bouncers there are very nice, as long as you use your inside-voice and act like you are old enough to be there.
Avoid the upstairs. You aren't getting anything you can't get downstairs and you are going to go broke up there.
I've always loved that they don't cut songs off. I HATE when clubs pull that lame crap. But, a little while ago, I caught them doing it. I was crestfallen. If they keep it up, I'm coming back here and pulling a star off my rating. No song-clipping club should ever get 5 stars. No matter how good everything else is. "Hey, we aren't (all) morons. We know what you are doing!!!"
4Play, you are on notice!
This is the cleanest gentlemen's club in Los Angeles.
There are huge booths where you can sit, and pay a stripper to talk to you. Â (I guess some guys are really lonely!) Â
The tip stage area is huge. Â It's a horseshoe shape, so there's not a bad angle. Â I prefer the tip stage, since, as a socialist, I believe in supporting the Stripper's College Fund. Â
Cover charge is $10, though you can get a free pass from LA Weekly - which you should be reading anyway, yo. Â It's a juice bar, so if you want a Red Bull, expect to pay $6.50. Â Parking is valet, and was $5.50, though if you're from the area, you'll be able to find street parking.
Lap dances are $25 each for the non-private area. Â The songs are not cut short (a common strip club scam). Â A private couch dance is $75 - since a private couch dance requires a 3-dance minimum. Â There is also a super-duper private area for $200 for 25 minutes. Â I guess that's where you go to get your STDs.
The women are attractive - not an ugly one in the group. Â And diverse - white, black, Asian, Latina. Â They also have a girl who must be L.A.'s tallest stripper - she must have been at least 6'3".
If you're into gentlemen's club, 4Play is the place to be. Â I'd give it 5 stars, but that would be rating it on par with the Spearmint Rhino in Las Vegas. Â And while 4Play is great, and probably the best in L.A., only the Rhino is the Rhino.
I've been to a few strip clubs and this one was amazing compared to all the other ones. Â The girls were actually really pretty and knew how to work that pole, yo. Â If I were a person to frequent these types establishments, this would be at the top of my places to check out on a regular basis.
Just make sure to pregame b/c there's no alcohol.
This was my first ever strip club that I entered, so for nastalgia reasons I give it a 4. Girls are beautiful but a lil stuck up, not 1 approached me and my hunny. I guess we should try it one more time since this was wow like 4 years ago maybe 5?
Don't like that they charge me the same amount as my man but whatever. Like the place and it feels clean.
it's really the best quality of girls i've seen in LA, and i've been to a LOT of LA strip clubs.
there is valet, but there is usually street parking if you don't mind walking a block or two.
i don't like how they charged me the same as they charged my bf and his friend. most clubs charge girls less! i guess this club is good enough that they don't need to try drawing girls to get more guys to come.
the inside is very nice. there are two staging areas. i've never ordered food here, but i can't imagine it being too bad cuz having had strip club food a few times at bare elegance, i remember it to be pretty decent cuz the girls have to eat there too if they want food. prices here are pretty standard for strip club prices for everything.
the general lap dance areas are kinda weird though. it's a circular couch thing and they have to put in coins after each song, and you can see the other patrons getting dances, so it's a bit distracting. but that's a good thing since it makes it less seedy.
there is an upstairs area that we didn't get to see. so no comment on that.
there was this one girl that performed with FIRE. seriously, she had like fire batons and it was amazing. there was also another that did crazy pole tricks and got REALLY high on the pole (they have a high ceiling). maybe it was the same girl? i forget. but friggin-a, FIRE!
it's a pretty classy club even though surrounding places on the street may not make it look super classy. the inside is nice, and the girls are all cute-to-hot, like ALL of them.
sweet gherkins, the girls here are smoking hot and it was a monday night! that's right, i said monday.
by the way, am I the only one who feels overdressed at these places?
so, the mission: continue the theme of girls night out (even after the guys crashed the party) with some t&a and lots of it. Â
methodology: check out 4play
the guys ordered sandwiches that came with tortilla chips. $5 sodas, you get the idea. leather seats. dark red, french victorian brothel meets disco decor ...yeah, yeah like you care, cause you're going for the quality of food and great wallpaper, right?
$10 gets you in after 6pm
here, like other 18+ strip clubs, no alcohol = the whole shubangabang
results: these girls know what they're doing, so don't forget the green and no touching the girls on stage. if you're looking for some eye candy, and lotsa sizzling t&a... welcome to 4play.
mission accomplished.
Monday night. Â Last night.
It seemed appropriate to cap off the Yelpette girls night out UYE at Arsenal with more girls......haha.....
One of the GNO UYE party crashers suggested 4 Play cough Simon.
I was resistant of course, but they talked me into tagging along. Â I sat waaaay back in a far corner, away from the stage. Â I was embarrassed cuz the girls were completely nekkid.
Except for one with a landing strip, they were all bald as berries in the kitty region. Â And pretty damn gorgeous too.
One offered me a lap dance but of course I would never do that. Â cough best 60 bucks I ever spent cough
Anyways it was 10 bucks cover on a weeknight, 5 bucks during the day, one drink minimum. Â Non-alcoholic only; Â my Pellegrino was $6.50. Â Still bargain prices for what you get in the way of entertainment. Â And a great place to sober up.....works for me.
The place is huge, with different areas for private dances. Â Of course I never saw any of that.
And there is dinner served too, but my appetite was satisfied with the eye candy onstage.
So! Â When's the next UYE?!! Â I'm free tonight.....
P.S. Â It's for you to determine which parts of this review are April Fool jokes......and which are not...... Â ; )
cough
Leather chairs at a strip club? The only thing wrong with this place is the attitude of some of the dancers. Wait, now that I think about I wouldn't exactly be the happiest camper if I was stripping either.
The male employees are dicks and act way too unhappy for someone that gets to work in a room full of naked, gyrating women all day.
Oh well.
I didn't find 4play on Yelp so I figured I may as well put it up here for when boys or girls are looking for a good club to go to. It's actually nice inside, not all gross and trailer trashy like a lot of other clubs.
The girls are cute, some are hot.
The thing I like about 4Play is that they have 2 staging areas. 1 area which has a spotlight so you can see every inch of her, and then another main stage where they dance. My fave performer is there hence I am giving a good review. She showed my bi-friend and my guy friends a great time about 9 months ago? so I thought I'd put them on the Yelp map.
**********
Oh... here's another website's review/description.
4 Play features some of the hottest girls in L.A. hands down. Our gorgeous girls offer totally nude entertainment with lap dances, couch dances and bed dances. There are over 90 females to entertain you and VIP rooms for private entertainment. If you are looking for blondes or brunettes, tall or small, you will find them all here. Come for lunch, dinner or just a late night show. Our club is equipped with plasma televisions for the latest sports games which makes it perfect for everyone. Entertain an associate or treat yourself.
:)
Like Steve, I'm not huge on strip clubs (LA Strip Clubs that is). Â With the morality laws here in LA, no strip club could possibly get more than 4 stars. Â This is considered the best one on the Westside, but I was not impressed.
The City of LA, in their infinite wisdom, has decided that if an entertainer gets completely naked at a club, then the place can't serve alcohol. Â So, after paying your $10 (weekday)/$20 (weekend) cover, you have to get a two drink minimum. Â In a normal strip club, you would just get two overpriced $6 Miller Lites and be done with it. Â But, here you have to buy like a $6 O'Doulls or Red Bull, which ain't cool.
You should really only go here when your friend gets a promotion and is in a generous mood or something along those lines. Â Lap Dances are like $20, but without VIP, you ain't going to get much at any strip club. Â It's always good to know the owner or manager or go with some attractive women.
