Scruples Lounge

When choosing a strip club in a sketchy part of town, there are a few things I look for:  

1.  Funny/ironic strip club name.
2.  Parking lot attendant to make sure your car is safe.
3. Easy access to the highway in case there's a fight or you bump into your boss in the club and you need to make a speedy get-away.
4.  Reasonable cover charge.
5.  Reasonable drink prices.
6. Bar area is separate from the stage, so you can sit there if you choose to take a break from the action.
7.  The dancers are usually somewhat attractive.  

Now, there are a couple things I could do without, of course.  The girls tend to pester you for private dances.  Also, I'd like to clear up a misconception some people have about strip clubs.  The women aren't having sex with the guys there (at least not that I've seen).  You go, give them money, they dance, and then you leave.  That's pretty much it.  And, it's been years since I've been here, so things might have changed a bit.

Wow, who knew that I would have two reviews of strip clubs up here, let alone go to two strip clubs.

I went to Scruples with my wife's uncle the week before my wedding. It was a "second bachelor party" of sorts.

Scruples is the strip club that you see on movies and television. That is, depressing movies and television. Very little fanfare, lots of Eastern European girls who hate you and their life, and overpriced drinks. Plus a guy who was a dead ringer for George "Buck" Flower. (He's in just about every John Carpenter movie from the 80's as well as Back to the Future. He usually plays a hobo)

Anyway, Scruples is that place. If you walk in, you'll feel like you've seen it before, even if you've never been to a strip club.(Or had only been to your first one two weeks prior)
