Mardi Gras

Why the hell am I reviewing a strip club?

I have a long-term girlfriend, I'm very happy with her, and she gives me lap dances for free. And unlike the girls at ANY strip club, I can invite her to my bedroom, take her clothes off, and request her to touch my naughty parts, also for free...

Anyway, I was here as part of a particularly large bachelor party a few months ago, and the place was simply INSANE. This is Yelp, so I suppose I'll have to talk in riddles, but I'm sure you'll be able to follow along:

- 5 dollar entry fee. About the cheapest I've ever seen.
- The girls are just freakin' fantastic. Ripped right outta the Abercrombie catalog.
- A good "value" when you throw a few bucks on the bar, if ya know what I mean.
- You do get occasionally hounded for lap dances, but I found it to occur less often here than other gentlemen's clubs I've been to.
- Drinks are relatively cheap, as they should be.
- We got a lap dance for the bachelor... $25... not bad at all.

People actually bring their real girlfriends here... That's right, I noted several parties that night which included non-employee women. A testament to how remarkably un-slimy and unintimidating this place is...

...Well, as far as strip clubs go...

I don't enjoy strip club atmospheres, but even I was impressed by the joie-de-vivre in the Mardi Gras!

The property and building are exceptionally clean and well-manicured, with a beautiful wrought-iron encircling the property, keeping out the riff-raff. Thus, the crowd inside has been screened somewhat, and is generally more gentile than you'd expect to see.

I have been to strip clubs before, but the Mardi Gras is the most impressive of them all.

I'm not the strip club type of person, but Mardi GRAS was unbelievable. I went there on a friday night on my way to mount snow with a coupla buddies. The place is inviting and the dancers are not invasive and constantly bothering you for a dance. The drinks are ridiculously inexpensive compared to NYC standards. I ordered a belvedere on the rocks and our bartender came out with a cognac snifter filled hallway for a measly 8 bucks.  When u initially walk in, there's a regular bar with the sports game on. As you walk towards the back, the stage if littered with beautiful women and the bar littered with pervs. The stage actually wraps around the bar so if u wanna get a seat at the bar/stage get there early. Most likely you will not be able to find a spot at the bar/stage, but you can still see the show from the outer sports bar area. Next time any of you or your buddies go snowboarding or camping in Vermont, I highly recommend you stop by this place.
