Stars Cabaret

A convenient exit off Interstate 5. Exceptionally beautiful staff. Great Service. $5 lunch specials are good. Nice decor. This upper end Gentlemens Club Stands out among others.

Salem nightlife was never my forte, but I depend on local friends to lead me in the right direction.  I came here not even realizing what I had stepped into until it was too late.

This Salem version of the Stars chain reminds me more of a posh lounge than it does an actual strip joint.  Most of the seedy adult entertainment venues in Salem have remained dodgy and fairly unpopular with the conservative Salem crowd.  But no more, it only took one visit here to see that all walks of life embraced this establishment.

Being that I'm a visitor to Salem now more than I am a resident, my group of friends never told me this was a place where clothing shed and dollar bills were rampant.  For all I knew, this was the newest hot lounge in town with a trendy vibe.

But no, once the ladies were out and about, the premise was never more obvious.  The crowd was best described as folks no more than 35 years old and plenty of couples were here enjoying the scene.  Admittedly I've seen far more sleaziness in places like this, but this was a surreal surprise where the ambiance was more young than old and more relaxing than rowdy.

There is a cover here and the last time I remember it was about $10.  VIP folks get free entry obviously, but VIP here is like buying a pre-paid gift certificate for a membership, not because they're actual VIP.  And all girls are VIP, free entry is merited here.  I'm told this is a steakhouse too, which comes as no surprise since steakhouses and strip clubs seem to go hand in hand.

right off the i-5, prettier and nicer girls, but pricey drinks.
