It was strip club Wednesday for me and a few friends. That doesn't mean we visit strip clubs every Wednesday, because there are plenty of days in the week you can go, right?
Really we just decided after a fun day to check out some of the action downtown and saw the pretty lights of Showgirls. Lucky us, its was "Hump Day Wednesday" at the club (excellent marketing!). As another nice marketing idea if you have a Giants ticket stub you get in free. It only saves $3 for the cover charge but it makes planning the next home game a bit more interesting.
The club is pretty nice inside. It made me think of movies that dipict a nice, upscale strip club. Not the ones with ugly girls and drunk regulars. I'm sure some of the drunk guys were regulars but the ladies were all very pretty and danced well.
I'm not sure if I was special or the two for one lap dance was just because the girls liked each other, but zero complaints on my end. Two thumbs and everything else up for this club!Listed in: Clubs, Bars, and Dives

As my second strip club experience in SF, Showgirls did the trick. The only thing I found disappointing was that since we were clearly two sets of couples, no strippers came to talk to us. I just want to talk to strippers while they sit their in their underwear like it's their job (oh right, it is their job).
People who complain about not seeing enough nudity or titties are idiots and should give two stars to SF laws, not to one particular strip club that is following the law just like the rest of them. This place is just like every other topless place...ladies take it off on song #2 only and no nudity. That's so you can get wasted, which is what you should be doing anyway especially if you con a man into taking you and then you spend all his money on the strippers you like instead of the heroin-addict looking ones that he wants to "make it rain" for.
This is a quality experience with a variety of girls, including a fatty and an oldie...if you're into that kind of thing. -

Lame. Came here for a friends bday with a big group of ppl, a good ratio of guys and girls...Good thing I didn't have to pay for it coz I checked in on yelp. The bouncer tried to make us to get bottle service and told us there weren't any tables available although we could see some empty tables...
Anyways he eventually gave us a table to sit down at.
Although some of the girls were pretty, they barely took anything off...and didn't come up to us when we sat by the stage with money out...
Strip clubs back home are so much better! No stupid rules about no alcohol if it's full nude and ridiculous cover charges -

The service here is nice and not pushy and the girls seemed genuinely sweet. The way they talked to me made me think they could pursue careers in psychology.
Bottom line, fun place. -

I was not impressed by this place at all. We migrated from Centerfold because we wanted to continue to drink and of course Centerfold was all nude= no alcohol so Showgirls here we come.
Thursday Night- 2 girls and 3 guys and we had to pay 15 dollar cover- c'mon.
The girls there were so normal looking- I just expected them to be super dime-ish because they are entertainers and I had no desire to get a lap dance from any of them.
One of the people I was with did end up buying a lap dance where the girl took him to another area and I asked him if was good and she didn't even get topless for him.. errr?
As a girl I think I have just higher than usual expectations for strip clubs. Hopefully they get better than SF than this. -

It's been a blast the last 2 times I came to this joint to hang out with the guys. Girls here are very friendly and can talk about anything! I walked into this place not expecting much...just a place to sit down and drink a bit while enjoying the girls dancing. But, they are so interactive there that you just cannot ignore them when they come over and chat with you.
I remember the first time here (it was literally the day before the landslide a few years back). The staff and the girls were awesome, they really took care of us and showed us a great time.
Same goes for my last visit here with my buddies. Just a nice get-away from reality from time to time goes a long way...mentally...in our reality! -

Now, I hear that ladies get in free., but....
this wasn't the case when my drunk Bachelorette friend told the bouncer, and I quote:
"I want to give the whores inside some money..."
He charged us. A lot. I don't think he took too kindly to his girlfriend being called a whore.
The girls inside were cute enough, but ladies beware, there are some skeezers inside ready to pounce on those of us who are simply there to partake in some harmless topless-only action.
We came, we saw, we were allowed to give a certain skinny, flat-chested stripper our own version of a lap dance, one of us fell head-first onto the floor off of said strippers lap, and then we were asked to leave.
Good times, for sure.Listed in: Places You Shouldn't Propose…

I would love to rate the quality of the show here, but I didn't make it that far. I tried to use my $8 free drink pass to order a Sierra Nevada. The waitress kindly pointed out that Sierra Nevada is not a domestic beer. She said if I had a problem with it I could talk to the bartender. I had a problem with it. The bartender backed up her inane assertion and said I could take it up with the manager. Surely someone in management would have the 2nd grade education required to realize that a beer made in California is indeed domestic. He didn't. I got booted. The meathead in the cheap tux out front let me know that if I had a problem with paying $8 for a drink coupon that I couldn't use because nobody who works at this 2nd rate establishment has a dictionary then I could take it up with the police. The police immediately made Mr. Meathead give me back my hard earned $8.
Apparently they have my picture and I am banned for life from all Deja Vu clubs across the nation. Nice try Meathead. Don't forget that I'm the smart one, not you. Bitch. -

The girls here tend to be nice and fun to talk to, without all that hard selling expected at other places. This place is not fully nude but who cares about watching tacos and abalone anyway. IMHO this place is MUCH better than the one across the street.
Here are some money-saving tips from a loser:
* You can get in free if you have a stamp from the place across the street.
* Also, the place across the street will print out a free pass if you use their ATM ($7 charge, but if you are lucky like moi your bank will pay for this via ATM refunds =)
* Text "SHOWGIRLS" to "35350" from your cell and get a free pass.
* $3/shots on Wed nights.
* Always carry enough cash! If you run of out $ and charge on your credit card, they will ding you substantial service fees, and you will be talked into tipping the bouncers (some of you know what I'm talking about!)
* The place closes at 2AM (unless you want to get ripped off at the VIP lounge) so walk over to the Hustlers that's open until 4AM. -

One of my girlfriends asked me to come with her to "a club" to meet up with one of her old friends. She declined to mention that he was the general manager of Showgirls in North Beach. As soon as we walked in the door, I heard the unmistakable intro to one of the most strip-worthy songs of all time: Prince's "Cream" (sha-boogie-bop, y'all!). I felt a little cheesy, as if I were walking into a scene from CSI (Vegas) where Gil Grissom comes in to try and talk to one of the managers about a dude they found dead in a hotel, whose last known contact was a dancer from the Tropicana. But hey, even though I was caught a little bit off guard by spending a couple hours on a WEEKNIGHT at a strip club, it takes more than some titties and gyrating hips to phase me.
The club was actually really nice, the girls were good looking, and it wasn't at all rowdy or lecherous (for THAT type of strip club, please drive down to The Brass Rail in the South Bay). -

The stripper named Martini smells really good. $3 drafts - can't beat it. This is THE place on Broadway if you want to see naked chicks that don't have gunshot wounds. They're hot, they smell delicious (as strippers should), and they give out free T-shirts.
You always remember your first lap dance. (Thanks, Thadd!)Listed in: My Neighborhood

This place broke the cardinal rule. FOUR girls and one guy and they charged us chicks a $20 cover EACH!?! WTF! Girls should never ever pay to get into a strip club. Ever.
AND it took 20 minutes to get drinks back?
The more I thought about it, the more upset I got. Especially since it was my birfday. And there was only one cool dancer. I got ripped off.Listed in: The Big Bomb-o

Probably the nicest strip club I've ever been to
Just about all (of the many girls) were 8s or better
The nicest looking piece of eye candy there wasn't moving around enough tho, c'mon we've just dropped some coin to come in the door to see a show, so please move a little faster and not be 1/2 asleep (or drugged out)
Actually one of the more *fluffy* girls there was dancing the sexiest, (multiple, fast, drop-to-the-floor, splits) had a big smile on her face and seemed like she didn't detest being there
I think the biz is shared with Centerfolds across the street (full nude, no alcohol), pay one cover, goto 2 clubs. You still need to buy a $10 drink ticket, which only gets you 1 well drink. Big mistake, I got Segrams vanilla and something, which made me ill for days
I also agree with the other reviewer, you're going to a strip club, accept that you will spend money, and lots of it, (doesn't matter if you are m or f or none or both) don't like, then don't go
Thanks to the yelp-retired Stormi C for arranging this coed tour -

Never again.
Don't go here unless your willing to spend more than $200, otherwise, you will not have fun. To even get good seats you have to buy special drinks or something weird like that.
Terrible place to go. Straight up snobby.
My party sits at a table near the stage, the floorman says "No this table is reserved". I'm like wtf where are we supposed to go?
Too many classes in here.
No service. Only one girl came up and offered me a lap dance.
Lighting was terrible! Too dark for me to get wood. Look at their posted pics, 3 1/2 time darker than that.
I get a $30 2 song lap dance. It's out in the open where all my friends point and laugh at my expressions, no grabbing allowed. . $100 for 15 minutes in the back room, touching but come on $100! $400 for the vip room! No way is $400 okay for a normal guy. And you have to buy champagne to sit at the smaller more intimate stage.
Funny thing, saw a dancer attacking a man with her breast during a dance like her life depended on it. The girl was in cowgirl pos, pounding a man's face into the cushions.
I saw one porn star (Tori Lane)? that was dancing but she kinda looks like a man. Management booted her off stage when she wasn't getting tips and people were walking away from the front row. I threw her a few $1 and she graciously thanked me while doing a backwards crawl off stage. Sad.
Why 2 stars and not 1? Bewbies. -

Of all the strip joints in San Francisco this one disappoints the least. I have been there twice this year and have to say I have had a great time on both occasions.
Last night was no exception....
Happy hour became "lets go out all night and get tanked" when we heard that Showgirls has $3 drinks all night on Wednesdays. This fact and the 8 beers that I had drank before this point was enough to get me to pony up the cover for myself and 3 others.
I guess not too many people know about the cheap drinks because we had no problem finding seats close to the B stage. The seating was comfy and the girls were good looking.
On of the most striking things about this place is the fact that there isn't any high pressure sales going on, the girls are there if you want them and will go about their business if you say no to their offer of a lap dance. There isn't any guilt trip to it like other joints.
If you like strip clubs and live in SF, this is the best you are gonna get. -

Came here with a friend who used to work here (NOT as a dancer!) It was her birthday, we were in town and she wanted to say,"hi" to old friends.
I'll level with you, we got better treatment because of birthday girl: it was her birthday and she's an ex-employee who knew everyone.
I will say it was pretty clean for a strip club. The ones Ive been to (LA, New Orleans) are basically gross. Here, there were no rogue soda cans or beer bottles everywhere, no mysterious wadded up tissue, no sticky floor -nice!
We went on up to the "champagne stage/room/area" and got our own stage and stripper. Its sad that we were 4 girls and a guy and didnt utilize it to its fullest, but still a fun experience. The girls were pretty, not a hideous one in the bunch. They're all in pretty good shape, too, no bullet wounds or scars or anything (i have stories). They did decent pole tricks and seemed genuinely nice...not in that "dude, i think she likes me!" kind of way, just had a readiness to be...hospitable; and hospitable without pretension or reservation.
Drinks were decent. The price is what is to be expected in a strip club. Nothing stood out but birthday girl kept taking shots with everyone and actually ended up vomiting outside the club -and onto my shoes. The remarkable thing about her vomiting is that she NEVER loses it. The relevance of this to the club is that they were ok with it (again, could be skewed because of her relation)
All in all, i agree with other reviewers and say that this is a pretty classy strip joint. Might be an oxymoron to say, but im sticking with it. Also, the pizza place next door is a great place to grab a slice and sober up. -

If you are black, and not fat, and like white girls; do not come hear. You will not get any play. A ugly black chick, will come talking to you, for sure. For some reason, the Middle Eastern guys, fat or young white guys, and Asian guys, get all the play here. I guess those guys make a lot of money and pay good, I don't know. I guess the strippers are RACIST HERE. I left here extremely disappointed. If you are a black guy, and two white girls come up to you, flirting with you. I will personally wire you $30 dollars. I can bet you $30 dollars, it won't happen.

The club is a beautiful club - it looks like an old-fashioned supper club from the 1930s or something. Roomy and classy-looking.
Unfortunately, I've never felt comfortable about coming here to hang out and drink. There has always been a very heavy-pressure vibe from the dancers to pay for lap dances. And whenever I've gone here, it's always been slow, so the dancers have nothing to do but sit around talking to each other and glare at the customers who are just enjoying their beers.
They do it right at the Hustler Club or The Condor.
I've never gotten a lap dance here since I've never felt like staying around for long enough to see who was dancing.Listed in: San Francisco strip clubs

Went here last night and they had the CBS Broadcast MMA event headlined by Kimbo and were showing it on the big screen next to the stage, I was a happy man last night. Looking around the room the other TVs also had other MMA events being shown sweet!
My friend set stuff up prior to our arrival for our friends bachelor party and we were treated very well. Once we were seated I notice the big screen and switch chairs to view the TV. I know what you're thinking, there's boobs all over the place and you're trying to look at half nekkid mens on TV "are you gay?!"....my friends told me the same thing. But I was looking at it this way...
1. The screen is bigger than ANY TV I'm planning to own.
2. As I am watching I am being served by a hot girl in a corset. (Who isn't my wife! Not that she'd walk around in a corset serving drinks)
3. Bottle serviced Crown and Cokes right in front of me being served by aforementioned Hotness...
4. Between fights I look over my shoulder and there's a new naked girl on stage, best commercial EVAR!
5. How many times in my life will I watch an MMA event and there are hot girls asking my pudgy ass, as they're draped over my shoulder, if I'd like them to rub their boobies in my face and they dance on my lap...
Pizza, beer, liquor, MMA and hot naked womens! What more can a guy ask for in one night...
The prices were pretty standard from what I've seen, $20 lap dances and there's some kinda special where you can get 3 songs for $100..I don't understand that one though cause normally it'd be $60 for 3 songs if you were sober enough to remember that right? Damn them...LOL Bottle Service was $275 for 750ml of Crown and $250 for a bottle of Tanqueray forgot the size plus mixers.
Girls were nice, not pushy at all when coming around, a few even stopped by cause you know they "liked" us and thought we were "cute"...at least that's what the Crown was telling some of my buddies LOL
I also liked the fact that they had Valet parking too so you don't have to deal with any parking problems. But if the cops close the street down then they can't get you your cars...they were able to get us the keys though so we could get the cars ourselves.
All in all it was a good time at Showgirls, I'd go back again! -

1st review and 5 stars get it.
First of all, ladies, don't be upset that you don't get it for free. You ARE in San Francisco, afterall - you know, the GAY Capital of the country!? Really, you SHOULDN'T be surprised that you have the pay the cover unless you know someone or set something up with management in advanced - and I'm talking WAYYYY in advanced.
For the record - I'm not same sex oriented or both sex oriented, I'm a heterosexual. I just like staring at naked girls and pole tricks are AMAZING.
I came here the first time in, I believe, December or January. A couple of my family member's are bouncers/bartenders there, met the GM and MOD - both awsome guys and super sweet. The waitress that helped out my friend and I was awsome as it was her first night. We charged a tab, which luckily my family saw and decided not to charge us since we ran up about 100 something dollars between the two of us. However, we still gave our waitress a tip and she was happy because the people who came in and STOLE our table were scolding her and the men that were there seemed like they had NEVER seen a naked women before - and judging by the women they were with, perhaps they've never seen an ATTRACTIVE naked woman before. We felt sorry for her and with my friend being a waitress herself, we felt she deserved a reward for her hard work on her first night.
Got a lap dance that night from someone and she was pretty - my family said she's 19, though.
They guys there are gentlemenly - I'm talking about the customers. Some made a pass at me, but one was actually starting a conversation with me and was being nice. Big plus for going to a strip club where usually guys look at all girls, customers or workers, as a piece of meat.
Second time I went there was for my birthday since my family was working the night after when I threw a club. Ordered a bottle of champagne, which was delicious, and a couple shots of patron and my family made sure to make my lemon drops super strong. I got 2 lap dances that night - both girls SUPER hot. One girl, though, a black girl, made me feel a bit uncomfortable when she was on stage. She looked drugged out and, really, probably wanted to do herself on stage. Other than that, I had a great time - they gave me a bday shout out and being the drunk ass that I was that night, I raised my champagne glass and started dancing and shouting - wooo its my birthday!
I always have a great time at this place! -

I went to this classy establishment last night for a bachelor party. I must say that this IS the place to go in San Francisco. When I was in college, I frequent these types of entertainment-- Market Street Cinema, The Regal, Crazy Horse, Mitchel Bros, Centerfolds, and other places. Yes, I've been to them all in the San Francisco area. Bradway Showgirls is a great place to see breasts. There is no full nudity because this club serves alcohol. Full nudity and alcohol is a bad combination for some reason...but it ain't in da PHILIPPINES!!! Anyway, the music & lights were great. The male bouncers/hosts/ushers were helpful and always asked us if we needed anything. The set up was great-- main stage and Champagne stage. Our party was near the Champagne stage.
The price of admission is $15.00, but we didn't pay since we were the bachelor party. A bottle of Absolut Vodka is $225.00. We had tonic water, cranberry juice, and ice to mix. I ate a ONE POUND burger for $9.00 with cheese and fries. Lap dances were the standard $20.00. Tippin a dancer on stage range from ones to fives. They do 2 songs-- Act I (clothes), Act II (topless). Fun times!
Now, the dancers. I read the previous reviews and they were right about Skye. She's is the one to see. Since she's the hottest she expects to be tipped. She's a beautiful, tall, busty, blonde. There were others as well, Alana and Lotus are cute, but no breasts. I like breasts. Most weren't pushy, but that's their job. So they must solicit the patrons. Our server was Emily. She's super cute and helpful. Her outfit was a bustier, stockings, and heels. She's hot. So bring some bucks and you'll have a good time.
It was so hot in San Francisco, avg. 85 degrees! So the ladies in this area were dressed...or I should say undressed! And then I go to this club. Being herteosexual is great! I'm bringing my lesbian and female bisexual friends to SHOWGIRLS, the place to be in SF. -

One of the City's best, nicest, cleanest, most beautifully decorated/designed gentlemen's clubs.
The service is excellent. The dancers are talented.
I don't usually go on weekend nights, but mid-week evenings are great because it's not packed with amateur spectators and they have great specials. -

Best spot in the world. I used to be a loser, but after going to showgirls, I'm a winner.
I mean, great food, great bartenders, super cocktail waitresses, and of course, the hot ladies. I no longer need my viagra prescription. All I do is think of showgirls and my tarantaran is rock solid. I'm also engaged to one of the girls now.
Do yourself a favor, get up off the coach, step off the ledge, and go to showgirls.

This is as good as they get.. ah, where do I start??
Ive actually come to this club quite often because a friend of mine used to work here, so I would go in for free food and sodas. Ive also come here for a bachelor's party and -for a DJ-convenience fee- we got the Groom-To-Be strapped to a chair on stage, being asked a series of embarrassing questions while a group of dancers were rubbing themselves all over him.. AWESOME SHOW! The good thing about them is that they have a very strict management and keep customer service as their priority. They are also extremely selective about their dancers, so the ones that make the cut are generally above average.
Weekends are definitely packed and it can get pretty chaotic, week nights are fairly mellow, except for wednesdays which can be busy because it's $3/drink night. The girls are not pushy and never have an attitude of any sort (unlike some other places). You can always spot the new ones because they barely do any pole dancing.. so go up to the stage and drop them some encouragement!!!
They are required to check every single person's ID, so if you're under 21 or don't have ID/passport, it's not gonna cut it. Aside from that, everyone has to pay $20 to get in, but if you're a nice girl and catch the doorman on a good day, they might let you in for free. If you have a coat, take advantage of the free coat checker as it will most likely not fit on the back of your plushy round chair.
Last but not least.. this is the perfect place to bring a date or someone who's never been to a gentlemen's club. It actually feels quite surprisingly classy and the food is pretty good, in case they get nervous about staring at half naked girls and need a basket of fries to bury their faces in.. -

Doorman: Hello gentlemen, would you care to sit at a table or by the stage?
Me: (shrugging) Um...a table sounds good to me.
Doorman: EXCELLENT choice gentlemen, please follow this way...
Thus began an evening of dare I say...Elegant adult entertainment. My friend Sin (and yes, that is actually his name) knows the manager here, so we were treated like rock star politicos with muscle. The VIP bar upstairs is decadent beyond words. I even ran into a "lady" I dated when I first moved to SF. Apparently, said "lady" just returned from a stripper tour of South Florida. Who knew that existed???? Anyway, I bought her a $10 shot of patron and $25 ham sandwich to make up for lost time.
BTW - You're all invited to the John T and Misty wedding ceremony. 4 stars. -

Club: My first visit to a strip club...I was expecting a very trashy place with dirty, sticky seats and tables. However, once I came inside I realized this place was definitely not what I had visioned. The inside was actually nice looking and most areas looked clean! This is a topless club so I didn't feel as uncomfortable as I thought I would. Not bad for my first and my last time!
Service: Service here was not bad. Our waitress was really nice and attentive to us. It seems everyone here minds their own business, if you don't want a lap dance or conversion then no one will approach you, which I liked.
Price: I didn't pay for this. -

Went here with my homies for a bachelor party. Decent place. Probably the cleanest titty bar in the city, not that I'm a regular at any of these places. Girls are only topless on stage. Lap dances are a twenty-spot plus a tip if you think the girl went above and beyond your expectations. Note:: the girls are clothed when they do their lap dances, not sure if that's the case of you go to one of the private rooms, but I'm assuming so.
I'd say the "talent" was adequate, at best. Maybe I'm used to the Vegas strip clubs...but there were a few diamonds in the rough.
Jordan was nice...I'd recommend her if you go. -

Since we left SF for the 'burbs (yuk), we have to make it into the City every now and then, just to get a break from everything cookie-cutter. My wife is fond of high-end strip clubs, so by the time we made it into the City, it was past midnight and cold. As we walked by Showgirls, I couldn't help but notice that there were monitors focused on the stage, and the women looked exceptional, even on a blurry monitor. The gentleman at the door very kindly offered to let my wife in for free, if I paid the $15 cover. It looked good from here, and I'm determined to explore most of the gentlemen's clubs in town with my wife, so why not.
The first thing we noticed was the staff. As with many of the high end clubs, they were quite exceptional with their friendliness, personal attention and desire for you to genuinely have a good time (good for biz, right :) ). To my wife (and many women in her position), part of feeling comfortable in a setting such as this is how she and I are treated at the door. Top notch.
The club is very comfortable. Nice, plush and dark, yet light in all of the right places. Since we arrived a little late, most of the crowd was gone, but there were still plenty of dancers, and we both enjoyed checking them all out.
At most clubs, the women will not come up to you if you are with a woman. I hate to chase down a dancer for me and my wife. Here, they will come right up to the both of you. And I really like that about Showgirls. They have already figured out that most women who go to clubs expect the girls to approach them. The women are some of the most beautiful we have encountered in SF. I crushed out on one immediately, but always seemed to be busy. As many clubs as I have been in, I have never 'crushed out' on one of the dancers. I told my wife that I'll have to come back just for her, and she agreed.
One thing that both of us noticed was that the DJ was playing EXCELLENT house music (read: not cheesy), and no hip-hop. Finally a club NOT playing hip-hop. Being an ex-raver kiddie, this put me in a great mood. My wife didn't care for the DJ constantly hawking the club's wares and features, but he would always let plenty of good toonage play before he'd go into his ad chant. I give him props for having good records.
They have an after hours VIP party, but I had to be up early and we decided to save of on the $200 ($100 per) for two hours of after hours for a later time. Judging from the service and attention we received from both the staff and ladies, as well as the chill, relaxed atmosphere.
As we left at 2:00 a.m. (yep, they had to throw us out), my wife commented that this was her favorite club so far. And it is definitely on my top three list (Cheetah in Atlanta still my all-time fav).
We will be back.

Ever read the SF Chronicle article with the blurb on the stripper who does headstands? Well, lucky me happened to have seen this exact woman at Showgirls. When I did a scan of the room for crowd response, I saw a lot of confused looks on guys' faces. Granted, I haven't tried to do a headstand in years and faintly recall that it takes some skill, it should not be a part of the act in this sort of place. Total mood killer.
That aside, Showgirls has a nice layout. It's very plush! The doorman is pretty good looking as well as much of the clientele (who get randy especially when you pass them in the hallway to the restrooms....yikes!....watch out for the hands and random grabbing of other customers). The service is great although the lineup tends to be completely random.
This is a good choice for a bachelorette party. I noticed plenty of others there for the same reason.
Oddly enough, the best looking and nicest girl there happened to be working as a guest from another fine establishment down the street....? -

I was here with a private party that had "bought out" the club so I didn't really have an opportunity to experience this business as it is on a normal nightly occurrence. What I did see of it though I liked. The staff is laid back and friendly and the dance floors are roomy. The DJs music selection was perfect to keep the mood of the night flowing. Remember what they said about the "champagne room?" Turns out that was all a lie!

For some reason, my husband and I and sometimes with friends always end up at this one. It's not my favorite. We use to go when it was Boys Toys.
This place is ok, but I think everytime we go there, it's a night where there's not that many attractive females.
I this is when I noticed that there are some dancers who do not liking dancing for other women and there are others who have no problem with it. One of the dancers did actually tell me that.
One time..it was a 2 song special, well my husband bought me a lap dance and I wasn't into it nor was he. LMAO...I had her go to him instead...he put a smile on his face, but for some reason didn't enjoy it as much. hmm...... -

Okay so on my return from Austin Texas I went here. I went to get my girly friend a new job as she could not keep working at The Crazy Horse and continue to be my friend. Friends dont let friends strip at the Crazy whore as I call it.
So we go into showgirls, now personally I dont like the set up here. Too many red lights on the floor makes the girls skin look kinda nasty. The chicks dont smile very much which to me says Im not a happy stripper who wants to sit on your lap. There are a ton of girls however, like multitudes of them lurking like sharks all around the tiny tables.
I do like the staff, I love the drinks and I like the mulitpule front and center dance stages. Congrats on the new job sweetheart Ill come visit you now at work. -

Since I'm female, I would imagine that I'm a lot more critical of strip clubs (or the girls who work in them) than a lot of guys probably are, as a rule. In San Francisco, I like Showgirls best, and I'm comparing it to the Hustler Club, Mitchell Brothers, and a couple of other places.
I think the girls are by far the most attractive here. The Hustler ones were all busted up the two times I've been there, and the ones at Mitchell Brothers were the kind that you either don't want to bother looking at or almost feel bad for. There were more brunettes at Showgirls than at Hustler (which was full of short, stocky fake blondes), and there were a couple girls who were really pretty.
I also felt like this was the most upscale club - it was cleanest-seeming, too.
I went with some guy friends and we had a few drinks and just kind of hung out here. I liked the bar area and didn't feel pressured, and I also didn't feel ignored - which was a really nice balance for a girl to find in a strip club.
I recommend this place to anybody, but especially for other females who are a little pickier about what kind of hot naked-ish chicks you want to be around! I'd go back. -

Even though this place does charge women covers too, I still go there.
I go for the poll tricks! Girls need to know how to dance and be active to get my money! And these ladies know what they're doing.
Girls are always pretty amazing looking, but if you make eye contact they think you want a dance from them. -

I really enjoy Showgirls. The girls are hot and the drinks aren't that bad. The girls are nude on stage but not a lot of tipping happens on the stages.
The dances are bikini but lots of contact. Overall probably my favorite place in the Bay Area for being sexy and classy.
