    Default Are there ANY good gogo bars left in New Jersey?!

    I live in NJ and started doing gogo about 10 or so years ago when it was excellent AND fun. I've been out of the scene for about 3-4 years. Alot has changed! Topless and nude are not really my style so I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good gogo bars? ??? By good I mean good money and clean, friendly, fun environment. I have the looks and the body to work anywhere, I will probably cave and go to Lookers because I can't seem to get any info on where else is good. I've been avoiding going there because I know the amount of drama that comes with that place. If anyone could help me out with this I'd really appreciate it. I'm thinking about checking out Double D's, Centerfold's, Shooters, AJ's and Satin Dolls. Thanx!

    In my estimation the best bikini bars in NJ to me have to
    • Be clean (no hanky panky)
    • Have good earnings
    • Have an established name
    • Lastly be nice on the inside (no dives for me)


    The clubs that I know meet these criteria are Titallations in Bloomfield ($$$$), Shooters ($?), Lookers in Elizabeth ($$$), Lace in Wayne ($$$$), AJ's ($$$), Satin Dolls ($$$). I would included the Squeeze Lounge but it is very new.

    Double D's the lapdance prices are to high so guys don't get them (so I have heard). And there is drama there (so I have heard).

    Double D's used to be fantastic, but recently a war has started between the club and local politicians and cops. They are trying to pass a distance rule ordinance (which would ban lap dances), the club has appealed, the township is trying to get the club's liquor license suspended in return - not pretty.

    Satin Dolls used to be fantastic also, but lately they have overplayed the Sopranos connection to the point where many customers and primo dancers have moved to greener pastures.

    I agree that Lace in Wayne is probably the best bikini club in north Jersey. Gotta love those would be philandering white collar suburban husbands ! Only problem is that the same owners run other nude and topless clubs in NY and NJ and may strongly suggest that dancers work other clubs they own as well as Lace.

    Tittilations is also great $$$, but they're part of an unofficial chain and I'm not sure the owners would be content to have a new girl just work bikini at Tittilations. More likely they'll pressure a new girl to work other nights at other clubs they own (nude).

    From what I hear, the Squeeze is starting to relax some of their rules so that girls can now make serious money (they did have a no contact club rule even though the law allows it). Since this club is like 2 minutes from Manhattan in theory it should turn into a gold mine cuz it can draw NYC business away (smoking and contact permitted in NJ but not in NYC). Other NJ clubowners must also smell the gold at Squeeze cuz they have put the word out to dancers that if they go to work for Squeeze they'll be blacklisted.

    OK, I am going against my self imposed rule about posting on this sight! Melonie, the 2 brothers that own titillations have nothing to do with any nude bar! They own a roofing company in Bergen county, and they also owned a restaurant in Paramus before they sold it. No dancer that has gone to work there, has EVER had to work in any nude place whatsoever. Sorry, but I know the owners, djs, and everyone else affiliated with this bar on a personal level. So if you want to work here, just audition! You will probably just have to wait about 2 months to get a booking as they are way over booked.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    can anyone give me some detail description about the squeeze lounge in weekhawken , NJ.
    I need to know all the particulars, about this club.
    if it's a good place to work at.


    You are asking about details on the club, then a half hour later you are saying it is the best club in nj? Who are you? The owner spying on the employees hoping they make some kind of bad comment? I have been to Squeeze, and I really do not want to hear that it is the # 1 bar in NJ!
    Lette, the dancers on hear want to know the truth about things. Dont post one thing asking how this place is to work, and then a half hour later say how good the place is! That is just wrong for any dancer trying to get legit info!

    YES!!!! go to the Casbah in the Trump in Atlantic City. This is by far THE best club in South Jersey. It is high class, sexy, and the Dj plays awesome music. Dj skribble spins at the club a few times every summer. this is your best bet. good luck!!

    i forgot some important details, sorry. the casbah is a dance club, techno/trance in the main room and hip hop downstairs. there are only a few gogo dancers in the club, maybe 5, but if you are skilled and good looking you have a good chance of scoring a job there. the dancers dance in cages elevated above the floor. a good view from up there!! again, good luck.

    Actually Melonie I think you are speaking of Lace which owns Stiletto,Lace and Gogo Ramma chains. I work at AJ's and the only club that I get asked to work at is Satin Dolls and Shooters 22.

    Money and Ebony and everybody else, arrrrrrgh! Why can't these quasi-club chains in the northeast just adopt the same idea as DejaVu, so that you don't have to keep a scorecard to figure out which clubs are affiliated with which other clubs, versus which clubs are bitter rivals with other clubs, versus which clubs aren't affiliated with anybody. You'll have to forgive me, but when I've been in some of these clubs I'm only there for one week or less, and I don't always get the whole story regarding corporate structures.

    Let me make sure I've got this straight then - AJ's, Satin Dolls and Shooters 22 are a quasi-chain, but all three are bikini alcohol. Shooters 22 is NOT affiliated with Hott 22 (which is a nude club) even though they have a similar name (which I guess comes from the fact that they're both on Route 22 ?). All the Lace clubs plus the two Stiletto clubs plus GoGoRama comprise another quasi-chain. All the Delilah's clubs form yet another chain (at least they're all called Delilah's), which happens to be a bitter rival to the Lace/Stiletto/GGR quasi-chain. Tittilations, Flamingo Centerfolds, Lookers, Double D's, Hott 22 and Squeeze are all independently owned and not affiliated with any other clubs nor with each other. And virtually every club in north Jersey, chain affiliated or not, has an axe to grind with dancers who choose to work for Squeeze ?

    It is enough to make your head spin!! Melonie don't forget Nardones and Players less know bikini bars. . Chrissie yes the Delilah's chains are affiliated. Not directly but they all are.

    Hey everybody- thanks for all the info. It is very helpful! I just hate to go out there and blindly choose a club. It is so sad that there is such a small handful of clubs that are "good" (good by today's standards anyway.) I remember when I first started dancing almost any club was good and some were even ridiculously excellent. Sigh- so much for the good old days!
    Oh yeah- btw. Lookers and Breathless are definitely affiliated and Tony who owns Dolls, AJ's and Shooters also owns The Naval Base. Don't know if it's still around but it was a nudie bar and yes, they did try to get you to work all the clubs if you worked one. I worked at Dolls and AJ's for 3&1/2 years when the money was unbelievable, I miss those days!

    I agree Chrissie that the earnings potential in NJ clubs is definitely not in the same league as it used to be 5 years ago. The way I see it, to make any serious money in this area a girl has two options. #1 audition at the famous upscale clubs (most are in Manhattan), hope that the clubowner picks you, hope that the club allows you to schedule enough hours as well as hours that you can live with (yes I know the perfect 10's get to come and go whenever they please, but it usually doesn't work that way for '8's like me). #2 is to work at one of the popular nude grind clubs and put up with the contact levels expected. With a couple of notable exceptions of upscale bikini clubs like A.J.'s and Lace in Wayne, the money just isn't there anymore in "neighborhood" clubs.

    Ok, i know this is probably one of those "duh" things...but can someone actually define go-go for me? is it just a strip club with no nudity? I didn't know those existed....is it because of liquor liscencing and stuff? curiosity killed the cat...thanks a bunch...

    New Jersey has unusual laws regarding dancing in clubs that serve alcohol i.e. nudity in any form not permitted in clubs which are licensed to sell alchohol over the bar. This has led to the development of 'bikini bars' or 'go go bars', which typically has several girls dancing at once on a stage behind a square outer bar. Majority of income comes from 'titty tips' as dancers make the rounds on the back side of the bar after their set on stage. Some clubs also allow private dances (with a fair degree of contact) although nothing is supposed to come off.

    NJ also has another peculiar "grandfather' law regarding BYOB - where it's legal for a nude club to allow customers to bring in their own alcohol but they're not permitted to sell it. These clubs are despised by local citizenry because they combine that "deadly combination" of full nudity plus alcohol plus contact to customers (although some clubs limit the contact strictly - but that's a club rule not state law). Many localities are trying to close these BYOB clubs down, and no new ones are permitted to open.

    The DWI laws have impacted the whole bar scene. Its not going to get better except with the economy. Lace dancers are NOT pressured to also dance at the other clubs. Delilah's is nude - SA & Toms River. Titillations gets a good crowd, probably better than Lace in wayne - it is hard to get bookings tho the few times I stopped by talent levels were so so. Lookers was jumping but you will go deaf if you work there. Lace in Nanuet/Nyack is pretty good, as is the Soprano bar on 17. Melonie - nice comments on the $ chat.

    A friend told me I should go in to Satin Dolls where she works. I never really got much info from her I guess. I didn't even think to ask if there was contact. Is there? Also has anyone heard of a place called Bourbon Street? (At least I think that's the name.)

    Satin Dolls in Lodi NJ is a well appointed "bikini bar". You've probably already seen it, since it is used as the set for the "Bada Bing Club" by HBO Sopranos. The club offers contact private dances with serious grindage but nothing is "legally" allowed to come off. Club standard is customer hands on, but no grabbing tits and ass. For a while the Sopranos connection really drew in extra tourist business, but from my last trip down the club appeared to be a lot slower than it used to be. The club is also under a fair amount of scrutiny by the borough of Lodi, who started an anti-dance club crusade last year and managed to permanently close a nude club about 2 blocks north of Satin Dolls. This club is also part of a quasi-chain, which may mean that dancers are required to bounce around to affiliated clubs.

    Bourbon St. is a good club from what I hear.. They also own a few other bars, Centerfolds in Asbury, and Afterdark.. and maybe one other, not too sure.. In order to work the better club(Bourbon St.), you have to also work in Afterdark which I've heard is HORRIBLE, not even worth your time. You can try to auditon though and see what happens..
