The clubs were already in decline before the pandemic, and that accelerated things. Barbarella's used to make their money off the convention crowds coming into town for a few days and hitting the strip club on their downtime, but that's just not acceptable anymore, so they went under even before COVID. The lockdowns pushed a lot of the better strippers at places like Pigales into online services like OnlyFans, and others moved into the MA/SP scene and never went back to the clubs. Most of the remaining ones are sharks or party girls, and neither are good for business. It's no wonder places like Barefax can't even justify staying open during the day.

I think we'll see the end of this industry over the next decade or so.

The question that I ask is how low of an income are the Stripclub owners willing to accept from the clubs.


The MA/SP scene is growing and many times girls used the club as an additional income / way to meet new clients though slightly different channels, even do a form of veting...
As with any industry it changes and shifts through time. I do think the inevitable demise of stripclubs is a shame though.

Pigale spends as much time promoting the food on their Instagram as they do the women. I've never seen anyone eat there. I think they have their priorities wrong.

I agree in many ways, but they have a person being paid to cook, if no one orderes their food it's just a money loss, both on the employee, and the food that spoils.
also If I remember correctly the liquor license for places that sellfood is much less than those that don't, at least 10 years ago that was true.

Now I'm missing the Silver Dollar.. they actualy had a decent steak.

The Dollar was convenient. It was a little rough around the edges, but it was a great place to escape to, I miss the Dollar.

Speaking of Only Fans.. is there a list of the dancers that have OF on here? Getting access to some of our favourites outside the club might be fun.

As to my Pigale comment above.. I understand their need to serve food but when they only post on IG ever few weeks and it's about the food makes no sense to me. The place is open 7 days a week they should be posting all the time.

 

[strip club guy]

Bad ownership bad management uninspired women food is the only normal thing at that shit hole now,I've seen the best and worse in my 5 decades going there

i thought these places were just a money laundering front for organized crime.

no more than a restaurant or other Dance club.

Sometimes a girl working as a Dancer has a pimp.. but that is true of dance halls in Ottawa too.

Dance Hall? like in the 1950's "Dance Hall" where a guy walks in and just dances with a girl or you just mean strip club?
