This place is small... Located by an industrial zone... No big deal. There is no cover charge; however, that is where it stops being affordable. All the beers are at $7 and everything else is like $10. Lap dances are $30 and they are timed, not per song since most of the nights there is no DJ... They play their own songs from a radio located in the back somewhere.
The majority of the girls are Brazilian, most are average looking but a handful if you are lucky are keepers. Not worth going for the lap dances, I recommend stopping by for a drink, looking at the ladies and then leave. There are a lot of better clubs in Providence and south shore. Not to mention prices and touch-ability on their part ;)
AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!!
Where do I begin
The drinks were expensive, the patrons were shady looking and the dancers didn't want to work.
This doesn't resemble in any shape or form the Vegas or LA clubs. Only one dancer was decent looking, and the others were ugly.
None of the dancers made any attempt to approach us or convince us to buy a lap dance. The were more interested in the local pervs.
I asked one of the dancers how much it was for a lap dance and she asked for $40 in really bad English. Her friend said that it's 30 with no touching. Are kidding me?
I asked one of the strippers why it was double Vegas and she said that these are the same prices as Vegas, and that she used to work at the Spearmint Rhino and that their prices are the same as Vegas. Yeah right...
So my friend calls me the other night, "let's hit up a strip club" he says, He made me an offer I could not refuse. We both decided to give King Arthur's Lounge a try because it was geographically convenient. After showing our ID and getting a pat down, we make our way inside, my first impressions were this place is way to dark and screams sketchy the only way I was going to relax was to get a few beers, beer I think was priced at $7.
We both sit down at pervs row to get the best angle. The girls that were there that night were mostly Brazilian. All had real boobs but out of the I dunno twelve dancers that we saw that night, six had nice boobs the others were either saggy or just looked weird. Three of the dancers that performed gave a good show, they did not leave anything to the imagination but given the poor lighting in that place, you could not really see any details only the lint on peoples shirt due to the funny black lights they got setup.
As I normally do when I go to a strip club for the first time I get a lap dance from a girl that I felt would give me a wild lap dance. I ask her if she wanted to do one for me, she said yes, she walks me to the room and I pay $30 for the dance. It's a small narrow corridor with seating booths, she escorted me to the last available booth, where she did her thing, now these dances are full contact, not the air dance shit, but don't get too excited, the dances last for exactly 5 fucking minutes. I swear the dude who I gave my money to at the entrance to this hallway has a timer. What the hell? I want my $30 back. That shit ruined my night.
In closing if you like to drink cheap beer in dark small space with black light lighting and enjoy very short expensive lap dances you might enjoy your experience.
So if you're like me you want to get to the meat of a review and not
read through a bunch of bull, I'll try my best to keep it short and
sweet and break it down into a few categories you'll be most
interested in....
Area - Everything they say is true, be careful going down that side
street, being vigilant for craters in the ground makes the difference
between driving back home in one piece and a hefty tow truck bill. The industrial/truck stop surroundings seems to make for a good spot for a strip club...to me at least.
Club - The club itself is decent, it's broken up into a few different
sections including a pool hall and hotel/motel of some sorts. I only
entered the lounge so I can't attest to how good or bad the other
sections were. The lounge is on the small side with a huge bar and one main stage taking up a majority of the space. This pretty much means you're in one of two places. The music was pretty bad as they didn't had a dj ( I was told later on that they have a dj sometimes ), the girls controled the music and that provided awkward pauses as they would hustle to put on or change a song from a back room off to the side of the stage.
Girls - The girls were decent as well, but not friendly. If I was a stripper I'd make it a point to talk to everyone that entered the club. For the duration of my, I wanna say hour, not one girl came over for a little chit chat, their loss. The line up was latina, which i liked, I'm an ass man, one girl in particular had my attention but never came to get my ones, again, her loss. Their stage presence wasn't something to hoot and holler over either, they seemed to just to the basics, I wasn't impressed.
Drinks - Drinks were average I had a Corona, when it ran out so did I.
Staff - The staff are cool, I told them it was my first time there and to give me the low down on the club and strippers. From TWO mouths I was told if I'm looking for a good time to head to Rhode Island...
All in all I wouldn't go back, I've given MA strip clubs three strikes
and their out, if you wanna find me I'll be in RI. I suggest you do
the same if you're looking for a really good time.
This review is based on my first visit, which was last night. Â It wasn't anything special but it did inspire me for my first yelp list. Â The people that run the place, the bartenders, bouncers, waitresses, and dancers, earned 3 stars. Â With the area they are in I would expect a much more overbearing attitude towards the patrons, which they are required to search upon entry, but everyone I met was cool, and even funny about it. Â The location is not great, the road to that place is a horror show. Â The area isn't very inviting. Â It is a stones throw from Mike's Roast Beef, which is a plus, but the potential stab wounds and robberies off set any of the other positive qualities this place has. Â If you do end up here I would advise you to sit at the stage. Â One dollar does the trick here and although the girls aren't Victoria Secret models it isn't nearly as bad as some of the other reviews make it sound. Â Very Shady area though, be smart when your down those ways.
Review Source:Ok MAYBE it has changed in the last 6 years but me and a group of friends just stopped out of curiosity a long time ago. Granted it was amateur night! It was awful! I felt bad! I felt like if I didn't put money out for those chicks there babies we rent getting formula for the week! There was stretch marks, scars, and marks i cant even tell u what from!!! Some of the girls looked drugged! Anyway maybe it has changed since then!
Review Source:Ahh, a strip joint not yet taken over by confident Grrrls looking for "burlesque"...
Not NEARLY as sketchy (or dangerous) as people believe despite the gangland shooting a couple of decades ago. Â The drinks ARE strip joint standard and the majority of the clientel Latin but this white boy loves nothing more then saddlin' up to the stage where $1's get you one HELLUVA show!
The girls ARE Latin and, from my couple of visits VERY hot. Â No amputees and if I read one more "c-section, gun shot wound" comment (what is this, Family Guy?)...
Years ago an uncle of mine went to King Arthur's Lounge for a buddy's 21st. Said buddy was the last of their group of friends to turn 21, so when he got his pick of any nudie bar for the whole shebang his friends were nonplussed when he chose King Arthur's. Legend has it that on that fateful evening one of the dancers was an amputee. And if that doesn't tell you about the quality of King Arthur's, nothing will.
Review Source:The other reviews have me rollin!!! Â This place is great - its sketchy and dangerous which makes it alluring. Â I'm a fruit and I still went with a straight friend to watch some bishes do some strimpin. Â Someone commented about the women being hot however all we saw were mis-aligned fake tits and c-section scars. Â
The location is awesome - its an industrial wasteland littered with old train tracks and weird pipes running from tank to tank ABOVE the street. Â If you're not careful, you will break an axel. Â The pot holes are insane!!
I would never consider getting food from the burrito trailor accross the street. Â I would never consider consider getting porn from the porn trailor accross the street either.
Nestled between the "New England Produce Distribution Center" and the "Cash and Carry" and directly across from a porn/buritto vendor this place takes up the prime real estate of downtown Scaryville. STAY AWAY. Do not go after dark. Should you chose to go during daylight hours, do not stay longer than 15 minutes. Sure the strip club is totally nude... sure its only a 10 minute drive from downtown Boston. STAY AWAY. You only have one life to live, and King Arthur's is the prime locale to lose it.
One testament to how shady this place is: some enterprising young man saw a business opportunity from the mounting body count of King Arthur's - so they built a Dunkin Donuts next door for the cops to hang out at while they wait for the next '187'. Â Business at Dunks is booming... while I was at King Arthurs there were a minimum of two police vehicles parked outside.
At King Arthur's speaking Spanish/Portugese will be to your advantage... I speak broken Italian.. which can only get you a broken arm... so I chose not to speak.
Ok. you say... ok. But what about King Arthur's Motel and Lounge.. I want more details... well here they come -
King Arthurs used to be a sketchy motel and bar in an sketchy industrial part of town... the years have not been too kind.
It is now a strip club/lounge/bar/pool room/motel... don't play pool here. Just get back in your car and drive away. As I drove by, I saw this place as a potential real diamond in the rough dive bar - boy did I underestimate it. I walked through the sidedoor and was impressed by the blaring hispanic music, poor decorations and multiple gaming  opportunities... my buddy and I sidled up for a $3.50 Bud Light (pricey) and just enjoyed taking in this dive. I decided to go exploring for the men's room... After being thoroughly impressed with how far the fake suits of armor in the 'motel lobby' had fallen into disrepair I found my way to the bathroom. In addition to fully operational indoor plumbing (a surprise) I saw some pretty wild items available for purchase in the men's room, the kind of stuff I have only seen available during my trip to Byelorussia (you will have to wait until Yelp goes international to hear those stories)  - after exiting I noticed a second bar on the far side of the motel lobby... low and behold it was a strip club... a packed strip club at 4:30 in the afternoon. After quickly surveying the surroundings I decided it was in my best interest to flee.
I have no idea what the Motel section is like. I think by the time you are asking those sorts of questions you are probably reading this on my stolen laptop as you drive to the nearest pawnshop for some crack money... I can't tell you any details, but I am guessing the rooms are rented by the hour... just like the ladies.
Should you choose to visit King Arthur's despite my warnings here is what you will need: a 4X4 vehicle (preferably something more intimidating than my girlfriend's Jeep Liberty) because Beecham Street is like navigating the Trans-African Highway through the rough part of Kenya; a flak vest - for when the natives get restless; a mounted 50mm - for cover fire during the get away; a fist full of quarters for the Men's room vending machines; and a fist full of dollars (because its not just a great movie, its how you get the ladies attention).
As a final comment. Please don't go here. I will feel terrible if someone gets shot/shived/crucified because my stupid Yelp review aroused too much curiosity from a good, albiet foolhardy soul.
This place looks like the strip club scene from any movie that takes place in a third world Latin country. If you speak English, you, the bartender, and the bouncers will be the only ones who do. There are some definite shady characters in this place and it's not too far out of the ordinary for someone to be thrown out for having a gun or knife. No joke. If you go there, be aware of your surroundings and keep in mind that this not your territory. It's always best to run from a fight in a place like this. (Or outside a place like this as the case may be.) The drinks are expensive and you cannot be in lounge without a drink in front of you. Â
On the bright side. MOST of the girls are Brazilian and MOST of them are stunning, friendly (if you can understand them) and dance enthusiastically. The ones that aren't are pretty bad.
