Follies

Maaannn this place is the worst! I went here last night because a guy friend begged me to meet him here, hold on let me rephrase that, I went here but NEVER got in. To begin with, I paid $10 to park next door because I thought it would be more expensive in front like it usually is at clubs. But to my surprise it was only $5. That was my fault. BUT the rest of the night was FOLLIES' fault.

They had 3 lines...regular, VIP and another for if you were buying a table or just wanted to pay some crazy amount to get in. The regular line was a little long. I don't stand in lines, but I'm not a strip club person so I wasn't paying $40 to get in. The line I stood in should have taken 30 minutes at the most. BUT all they kept paying attention to were the other 2 lines. To make a long story short, I stood in line from 12:45am-2:20am. I almost left several times but my friend kept begging me not to because we hadn't seen each other in years. Well silly me! The men working the door would not even look at our line, we were literally invisible. By the time I was fourth in line he looked at us and said, "We're gonna let y'all in, in a minute." HA!

Well that was a lie because none of us EVER got in. At 2:20am they said, "We're done, no 1 else is getting in." Umm excuse me? What kind of bs?

I went back to my car and tried to see if the parking attendant would give me my $10 back after I explained the situation because I've had "nice" attendants do that without a problem before. Well of course he said no but was extremely rude about it. He was actually rude from the very beginning when I was parking. I definitely gave him a piece of my mind.

This night was horrible. Follies can go to hell.

Me and 3  friends went here on a Wednesday night to celebrate a friends 21st Bday...

First off there was a lot of variety and all of them were pretty cool not pushy at all...

But as time went on a girl walked up to me and asked if i wanted a dance i said NO at first because i just got there and had not even had a chance to get a drink yet. She kept insisting so i said fine the table collectively had $500 in ones and i didn't mind spending some on her. She started to dance and we threw ones at least $70 (she was the first girl of the night), I then told her thank you and while she bent over to pick up the money she tapped my leg and told me it was $30 dollars for the dances.... So on top of the $70 dollars we already tipped her i had to pay an additional $30 ($10 per dance) I'm not cheap by NO MEANS but that is ridiculous. We told her no were not giving her the $30 EXTRA...so she then got the body guard who told her to pick up her money and count it he said he understands but its policy and if we could just give her $20 extra dollars...

Not wanting to ruin my friends Bday i did.... The body guard said they had recently switched  management and that was the NEW policy. It all makes sense now because we had wondered why no one was throwing money period and that is why the girls ask if you want a dance knowing they are charging $10 a song and still expect you to tip... I don't mind at all tipping i know that is expected when going to a strip club but you should tell your patrons that for every dance there is a $10 charge EVEN IF you throw $70.... I guess i just didn't want to throw $100 on one girl.... WE THREW THAT MUCH MONEY BECAUSE WE THOUGHT SHE WOULD TAKE THE MONEY FOR THE DANCES OUT OF THE $70!!!!

I know i sound cheap but my point is i would have STILL  tipped very well if i would have known about the $10 per dance rule i just would have stopped her after one dance, we wanted to get dances from several different girls not just ONE!!!

I expected to pay for dances but i thought she would have been happy with the $70 and just walked away not demand another $30....

I can't tell you how my experience was inside BUT outside smdh, TERRIBLE. It's $5 to get in BUT the way the bouncers were acting, you would've thought, we were waiting to see the president. They kept asking us "how many people we got with us" i'm not sure why that was relevant due to the fact that its a strip club and not a restaurant but whatever we complied nicely (AT FIRST). After waiting in line for 30 minutes we became frustrated. Not only were we waiting for nothing BUT we were asked at least 10 times "how many". The bouncers were charging people $30 to cut the line, it was ridiculous. 45 minutes goes by and they're now having a full course meal outside, cackalacking, while we're waiting for them to let us in. After an hour, we left and as i turned to look back, i seen the bouncers letting people in. I dont know if i could say id never go back to this place, BUT at this point, i'm fed up
