Club Alpha

[Fb87]

Can anyone explain club alpha to me? I'm not sure i get what it is...

It's like a massage parlor but not?

Also a 5 dollar fee for a lifetime membership seems odd to me.

Just as confused. We have seen the site. $5/yr, some separate fee to use space (in FAQ, not a swingers club). I still have no idea what it really is but gets some great reviews.

I plan to make the first trip to Ottawa at some point. My favorite dinner theater along with a few in Minneapolis was Oh Canada Eh which moved from Niagara Falls to Ottawa. From my Toronto, many reviews a massage fan for many decades!

Private messages are welcome on the real story if can not post them here. Don't know if Ottawa is more conservative than Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver-Victoria on C36 which has now been challenged and lost 3 times with no appeal by the Crown.

If you're asking whether it's the old use of "massage" as just another euphemism for brothel, it isn't. Spas like Alpha and CMJ offer a fairly standard service package:

• Shower for 2
• Massage
• Hand release

You should at least get that much. Each massage attendant has their own rules on extras like DFK. Some will do it, some will ask for an upcharge, etc.

If you're going in looking to get laid or for a BJ, odds are you will strike out. It's also a forbidden topic on this forum. You're better off with one of the local hybrid independents, like Madeline Klaire.

Thanks, actually all I am looking for is those basics and pricing. I am use to Toronto where nude-reverse/body slide have posted rates on websites.

I "joined" but the website timed out as not available when tried to set up pw. Got the email twice but each time the site timed out and would not connect. I will try maybe a less busy time, the server must be overwhelmed or has a problem.

Alpha is a private members clubs hence the sign up fee of $5. Once you are a member you can either pre-book one of their hostesses or do a walk-in and meet the available girls on shift and pick one.

Basic fees as listed on the sire are 160/hh 180/45min 200/hr. there are upgrades - kink fee, nuru fee, the room with the king sized bed.

As mentioned you will get SF2, massage, hand release for the basic fee. Anything is at the girls discretion and may involve an up charge by the girl.

I want to clarify some points as some misinformation is being spouted off here. Club Madellyn Jae and Brass Club aka Club Alpha are technically Not massage spas. They are licensed by City of Ottawa as Private Members Clubs hence they ask for a Membership fee for formality. In fact, CMJ used to ask members to sign a 9 page Membership form and Non disclosure agreement. I know this cause I was there for an Orientation to look at becoming a member, you watch a 15 minute video. The Non disclosure agreement is there to protect the identities of members. Ottawa being a Government city has a lot of high profile people, from business people to politicians, that would demand anonymity. Do these private clubs have to abide by same bylaws as massage studios ? I am fuzzy on that point but Jessica at Brass did tell me they have more latitude on what they offer. Nonetheless they still have to abide by the Criminal code. You can gleam from that what you wish. CMJ created their club about 20 years ago after they tried opening a massage studio near Angels Spa and Ottawa blocked them and then turned around and imposed a Moritorium on new Massage licenses (in much the same fashion as they did with strip clubs). So the CMJ people got Smart and went the way of a Private club. Nothing much the City can do to stop them, Private clubs are on the list of eligible businesses. There is also the Phoenix which is also a Private club and they share same building as an ALO Massage location. But they are two different licenses. So unless and until the City of Ottawa Closes the loophole and Bans Private members clubs from operating in much the same way massage studios do (in other words taking money to provide a service inside a room), then they can continue to operate. In fact Club Alpha has Expanded, they have a huge new location in the West end. They apparently have 120 girls on staff. This isn't the first time a licensee has gone the way of a Private Members club to evade a Moritorium. Fantasia in downtown Toronto did the same about 15 years ago so they didn't have to operate under the restrictions of a Holistic license and at the same time have to shell out the then $ 10,000 fee for a Bodyrub license and those licenses weren't even available downtown. Yes that is correct, in the GTA, a Bodyrub license costs thousands ! The current yearly fee is $ 14,000 and is restricted to 25 licenses in 3 boroughs. Fantasia eventually closed cause the owner didn't pay his rent. Another City with a private members club of this type is Chicago. But again back to Ottawa, please don't equate Club Alpha and CMJ with licensed Massage studios, they are Not the same thing. It is a fascinating story how CMJ came about, the owner has law background and worked the system beautifully. I admire her talent and fortitude.
