my first strip club ever. my boyfriend was out of town and my gay best friend and i decided to hit up sf. we end up here after a day of shopping. all i can say i wow. one of the guys was amazing hot, the others i saw, not so much. It did freak me out that after the "dancer" walked to the back of the theater (or i thought ) that all of a sudden i had his hand graping my boob and his dick right by my face. That def. freaked me out and kind of "pushed" him onto my gay friend, the reason why we were there. After that dancer was done, a gay porno came on and that was pretty awkward to watch.
weird, but a night to remember

Would give zero stars if I could. Which I could erase this experience!
Had a friend come visit from overseas and we had just come from North Beach and a female strip joint. Though we would round off the evening at Nob Hill since she was staying at the Grant Hotel next door. Since the boys had already had their fun.
Holy cow! Wish that we hadn't done that on the spur of the moment and had looked it up on Yelp first! Most of the reviews on here are true. So not a place for girls. I'm no prude but that stuff is hard core! Plus it was $30 to enter and we were barely there for 10 mins and that was 5 mins waiting for a friend to get out of the bathroom.
There was only one other person in there and old guy that the stripper was making a beeline for. He had just stepped off the stage. I thought the male strippers would have the same policies as female strippers. Nope. They were doing everything! Plus the guy wasn't even cute! Go to the Steps of Rome and tell them it's your birthday you will get a better show there!

Having worked here before at the front desk, I can tell you firsthand that most of the reviews here are correct.
(1) This is *FAR* from a Chippendales kind of show! The guys are usually average-looking, not really into the dance and usually just down on their luck and trying to make a quick buck. On the flipside, they have big packages and like being touched (in some cases, they'll initiate fellatio).
(2) The music is awful, and the management seems to think people like it. They don't!
(3) The porn star headliners are very 1990's looking, and very run of the mill. If they'd have more butch or kink stars to headline, it would be worth the ridiculous $30 entrance fee you have to pay to get into the theatre.
(4) The booths downstairs are just that: booths. Guys often just stand against the walls to avoid putting coins in them, and ever half hour someone loudly announces over the loudpseaker to keep feeding the machines with money or leave. This kind of harassment makes for a very unpleasant experience, which is why most guys there stand against the walls!
(5) It would be worth going here if the management was more selective with the guys they choose to perform. They hold an "amateur night" every week, and so basically any decent-enough guy willing to get naked is chosen. Sorry to be blunt, but there are guys I've seen perform here with faces that no mother could love.
(6) If you're into booth sex, stick with Folsom Gulch. If you like erotic male dances, I'd say try this place once and then never come back.

I had alot of misconceptions about this place. It's true, it is kinda degrading to the men who work there to be treated as objects and it's also true that I tipped one of those objects several hundred dollars one evening. But my friends and I had a hoot and a good old trashy good time

Attention girls looking for a Bachelorette party club! This is not a chip-n-dale show. Guys are fully nude and hard and let you (sometimes force you to) touch their cocks and/or suck them. Plus, it's a condition to work there having a large penis. So if you are a freaky cock sucking size-queen you'll love this place. However, it's quite boring. There is no party atmosphere. The music sucks. The shows are slow and take too much time in between and more important: they don't serve alcohol so make sure you get drunk before or bring your own booze. Also, take in account, the entrance fee is way too high and you have to tip the dancers so you'll end up spending like 50 bucks each. You can ask for group deals. Go weekend nights after 11pm, any other night is even more slow and boring.

what more can i say than: this place is absolutely FABULOUS. my first time here, i was a little bit reserved because the menus was just so diverse, i didnt know what i was going to get. i went for the pulled pork, which suffice it to say, is not really a beginners dish. but the next time around, i definitely had a bit of everything. the italian sausage tastes like it is straight out of north beach hole-in-the-wall (i especially enjoyed the sicilian salami). the jamaican jerk was enormous, and quite frankly leaves you feeling a bit messy. for those of you with a tiny appetite, i would encourage the pekinese hot links. for dessert i had the oreo cookie sandwich, a delectable treat of oh-so-yummy chocolate that was filled with a fluffy creme filling. cannolli was good as well, but the filling was so creamy i was gagging. all-in-all, a very fine establishment... but whats with all the gay dudes?

What, this is the city's only men's strip joint??? Very disappointing, the guys are never good looking and the porn stars that perform are so 1990s. The sex shop is decent, but if they want to charge a $30 entry fee to the theatre then get some sexy performers please!

Okay... so.... maybe I had that one fluke visit in a million... but I had an incredibly memorable trip here. Granted, I was drunk as a skunk but...
When you first enter the building you go through a porn shop. This was kinda weird. You pay your admission at the cash register and they point you to another door that lets you into the club. You walk down a wide hallway with doorways that lead to a small room with a pole and banquette seating all around the perimeter of the room. Another room across the way was a window view into a shower... which was unoccupied. I started to wonder if there were any dancers anywhere.
My friend, a man, and I made our way to the theater where it was like old school movie theater seating with a short stage at the very front. Gay porn was projected onto the screen and a dancer was slowly teasing a male guest in the front row with a slow, flexing... sultry kind of dance. My friend and I were giggling our heads off and being generally obnoxious. There was a lot to take in.... the lone man to our left wearing a hat. The other lone man way in the front corner of the room.... the gay porn... the semi-nude dancer weaving his way through the isles making his way towards us.
As he got closer my friend and I started teasingly poking at each other trying to determine who was going to get the lap dance. "YOU ARE!" ... "NO, Yeeeeeww ARE!" Back and forth like little kids and all of a sudden the dancer was standing right in front of us.
Well,... I announced that because we were in a gay theater it only made sense that my friend, who's male, should get the dance. The dancer said, "Why's that?" I said, "Well, cause... duhh.... like... you're GAY."
"We're not ALL gay here...." and my friend slipped the dancer some money and next thing I know this dancer is ALLLL over me. Like... hey! I thought there was a no contact rule! Then... between my friend and this dancer.... let's just say that for the next 4 minutes we created enough of a scene to have the lone men in the theater suddenly appear RIGHT NEXT TO US.
When Prince's song was finished.... so was the "dance" and uh.... I was left breathless and disheveled. My friend tipped the guy another $50 and I sat there completely dazed. WTF just happened?! He and I looked around us to find a total of 5 lone men sitting within 4 seats from us. WTF? LOL.... We ran out there with screams of laughter. Both of us out of breath choking over what just happened.
I can't say that this incident will ever be repeated for anyone randomly going in there.... but it's fair to say that.... if you go with a friend, perhaps a lover.... it's going to be waay more fun than going alone or in a big gigantic group.

The clueless gaggle of gals that planned a hen party in this gay strip joint were shocked by what they saw. Those who know what to expect will be shocked by the price of admission, and disappointed by the no-talent, average-looking performers and porn 'star' headliners, who try to hustle the crowd with offers of 'private parties' including more than a bump-and-grind in order to supplement whatever pay they're collecting here. Once your curiosity (if nothing else) is satisfied, there's no reason to pay a second visit.

If your expecting a chipendale type show this is not the place for you. My out-of-town friends took me here for my hen night a number of years ago. Boy were they shocked - steam showers, hard core porn movies playing in the background...you get the picture. Too bad the guys weren't that hot!

The best place to purchase gift certificates for homophobic coworkers and bosses.
review from the OUT TRAVELER guides
Fun, fun, fun. The video booths are spotless and well-lit, usually populated just about any time, and actually crowded at certain times (after work, weekend afternoons). Booths are big enough for two -- a big plus. Crowd runs the gamut from older businessmen to homeless people to cute young locals to lost tourists. The attendants rarely harass you here, no matter how long you hang. But you should support this place by dropping tokens in the booths anyway. Upstairs is a theater with nude dancers and porn movies, but it's overpriced (though discounted before noon) and often rather unexciting.
