Olympic Gardens Topless Cabaret

Description:

• Once the largest of the strip clubs, this almost feels like a family operation, thanks to the middle-age women often handling the door -- maybe they're the reason for the equal-opportunity male strippers on most nights. It also has a boutique that sells lingerie and naughty outfits. (They get a lot of couples coming in, so perhaps this is in case someone gets inspired and wants to try out what they learned here at home.) There are two rooms: one with large padded tables for the women to dance on, the other featuring a more classic strip runway. The girls all seemed really cute -- perhaps the best-looking of the major clubs. The crowd is a mix of 20s to 30s geeks and blue-collar guys. As the place fills up and the chairs are crammed in next to each other, it's hard to see how enjoyable, or intimate, a lap dance can be when the guy next to you is getting one as well. That didn't seem to stop all the guys there, who seemed appropriately blissed out. Oh, and by the way, they also have male strippers most nights of the week, so you ladies won't feel left out. Lap dances are $20, more in the VIP room. Open daily 24 hours.
