    Its Showgirls, and previously Boys Toys. They can't get/keep customers to save their life so they keep being resold every few years.

    Yes, I am aware it was Broadway Showgirls and Boys Toys. I worked there for a short stint years back while it was B.S. (no pun intended ). It was already a gorgeous club, even more so than Gold Club which seems to be the most socially acceptable and popular strip joint in the city right now. Joe Carouba quoted "we're throwing money into this club like a drunken sailor".... I am very excited to see how it turns out!

    I agree. It has ALWAYS been beautiful, and then do renovations like every year or two. I have NO idea why. They apparently opened the middle of the club on the second floor so you can look up... similar to Gold Club. I don't really think they could do much else to it though? Like, it was already perfect. But if the club doesn't work out as Penthouse, then they'll probably shut it down for good. But Penthouse is really promising. It'll definitely steal Hustler & Gold Club's traffic. At least for awhile.

    a non deja vu club in sf?
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Its always been Deja Vu. Its still Deja Vu. And I bet it'll have the same staff from Broadway Showgirls. Or maybe some from Gold Club. They all club hop. I'm curious as to who the manager will be.

Nobody does $20 dances here, it's ALL about the CRs so when you are getting rid of the 8 "CR" couches, you only have 4 real CRs left which is not enough for all 30+ dancers to make money. Even with the 8 couches there was still often a line to get one of them. Worst upper management decision EVER.
    WTF? They aren't going to at least have a 3 for $100 option?

    Especially because those couches circle the one couch that's completely shielded from cameras .
    I like 3 for $100, but I feel like there should be a middle ground between that and the full on CR, so I agree with you there. What are the CRs going for?

No incentives for customers upgrading to bigger blocks of time, and no incentives for dancers to sell bigger blocks of time (besides the obvious) because the price and cuts are the same. Dancers get roughly half.

    ETA: jk, dancers get a bigger cut of the $400/half hours (I think around $225-250/half hour) which makes it all the more frustrating when there's a line to get in. When I was at SG and I got a CR I was never able to get the expensive CR because they were always full. Even though every single time I had a customer who would pay for it.
    I hate $150 for 15 mins. It's usually 5 dances, and if the dancers keep $100 (which is typical with DV), it's only $6.66 a minute, versus 3 dances for $100 which is $11.11 a minute if the club goes by 3 min songs.

    Oh GOD. That would KILL me. Paying customer and nowhere to take him? That should never happen in a SC!

    ^ If a SC is ever making it harder for anyone in the club (strippers, bar staff, bouncers) to make money, then they're doing it wrong. Wtf man. I worked in dives for four years, so trust me when I say that I feel your pain!
