Players is now a strip joint?

Jumpy

Sad to see it go, but to be fair I havent set foot in the place for 2 years.
Saw in the paper that its now an "exotic dancing" venue.

Yep its now a strip club, opening night is supposedly being hosted by "models from all over the world" :rolleyes:

I have never been to an Irish strip club, I imagine them to be very poor standard, anyone know what le chic or lapellos were like?

Amazotheamazing

Pity, haven't been in Players in well over a year, but it was a good spot for a few pints.

Le Chic was great craic when it was open, Lapellos had a different clientele being situated next to the high stool and all

Berty

Now that they have changed into that type of business I wont be visiting the place at all.

Decking you say...hmmmmm. Maybe I should go to Woodies and ask the staff their opinions of this...

Just what the city needs, a new strip joint with most likely overpriced drinks and poll dances.

I reckon it will be gone before next Christmas.

Don't worry I will have murdered most of the strippers by Christmas. Don't rush me though as I consider my work to be art.

Nope, nothing wrong with 'em - even had some Irish ones back then :eek:

Ahh, fond memories of the Garda raids in there, good times when they though I was part of some illegal multinational prostitute ring :pac:

Another time they thought my girlfriend was a stripper, despite her being 5foot nothing and wearing jeans and a tshirt while all around her were tall, leggy, practically naked peroxide blonde's wearing ridiculous heels. :rolleyes:

zuroph

also, I still am in proud possession of the strip pole from Lapellos, I stole it with a cordless drill when the place shut down.

The least you could do is return the drill, some poor misfortune might be looking for it.:rolleyes:

Ha, don't bother than you prude.
I remember hitting Le Chic a few times in college. The standard of birds wasn't bad to be fair.

Im not stupid enough to give my money for some young girl to dance in front of me yet tell me after giving her upwards of €100 that I cannot touch her.

If you want to get your jollies from a girl dancing around a pole then by all means, its your money.

My self esteem is not low enough that I need this kind of attention.

Hmmm.....I s'pose in a thread about a strip club it was fairly inevitable that someone would mention something about Woodies

Mc Love

Upwards of 100 euro! The most I would pay for a dance is 20 euro!! The lapdances in England are 10 & 20 pounds and in both fees they get naked!!

zuroph

i notice it just said it was an exotic dancing bar, there was no mention of if there was private dances available.

Mc Love

aye thats a shame

zuroph

guess i'll just have to find out in person. wonder is there a door charge now.

Yeah, your self respect.

I've always been curious about what kinda' men frequent strip clubs, but not enough to make me want to go in and see for myself.

I heard that previous clubs opened here were a disappointment to punters as the establishments didnt have any of the back room antics that they were expecting (watching too many vidoes).

Wishfull thinking guys, but I'm sure you live in hope...:D

How would that work ? Surely a stripper couldn't be undercover for long ??

I'd love to tell you a story from personal experience (in a local club) that would shatter all of your illusions but I fear it would be a bit much for this forum!

And as for living in hope, I've been there, done that and got the T-shirt (well her t-shirt ). Some of us are credible players you know

RonMexico

My friend tried to go there last night and he said it is closed down

Mc Love

Maybe they didnt like the look of him!!

bazz26

Three cheers to the geniuse who thought of opening a strip club during a recession.:D

zuroph

SuperWoody101

Is there touching

zuroph

wow. have to say, those dance prices are pretty reasonable in comparison to what they used to charge in the other places. apparently.

Mc Love

Still quite expensive, what are the girls like? Classy or Scummy?
