  1. Or the Hush club at Bank and Slater area. (formerly CMJ downtown)
  2. It is the old Casino Cabaret, Tease, Cabaret Canada, Palace of Screams and whatever name it used to have. It can be good, the new owners are great but again their is the spectre of the building owner and his antics that can still cause issues there. It is at the corner of Bank and Rideau Road (not Rideau street) underneath Ottawa Best Hotel. (Whoever named that place had a sarcastic bent.)
  3. Why do we always have people posting inquiries about places that are pretty obviously legitimate massage places? Google is your friend and if you use it to find Sunny Joy Foot Massage on March road you will find a website where they list a bunch of their services including RMT massage, reflexology, hot stone and other services. No where will you find the "code words" that there may be an HE offered. This is not the massage you are looking for. If you are coming to Ottawa looking for that, then there are a wide variety of spas that do offer those services and they have multiple reviews on this and other boards. Choose one of those and avoid disappointment, or "roll the dice" spend some of your money and find out first hand. There are too many people looking for "unicorns" where they walk into a place and get a relatively inexpensive massage from a drop dead gorgeous MA who does everything they want. Those places don't exist and even if they did once the word got out they would soon cease what they are doing and change their business model.
  4. Ella (also Ella Jane) may have retired. Her twitter feed from over 6 months ago says she won't be around much. She was also part of OIC, but she is off their site now as well. You could try and DM her on Twitter.
  5. I understand from someone who has been in contact with her that she is not dancing anywhere right now, but that she anticipates Casino opening again and she would return. But again all speculation although she may know the owner better. When I drove by there last week there were dumpsters in the middle of the parking lot, and a lot of Used cars from the lot next door in the parking area. Not sure what that means.
  6. I doubt it will close permanently and you can see my previous comments why. As for the debit machine, you have to pay a fee to have one of those and knowing the owner he would probably rather not invest in a debit/CC machine. It is more of a cash-only business anyway.
  7. Read the article and you will see it is not just the Fax, he had the same issue with the downstairs place that was Zaphod's. The article also implies that other business owners are running into the same problem in the hospitality business.
  8. The article also gives the impression, unlike other posts on this board, that he is not intending to sell, and that the closing was solely due to the insurance issue. I am not sure how that will effect other bars in town. It will be interesting, but I can see the government stepping in if no bars (strip clubs or otherwise) can get affordable insurance.
  9. It may have been on city water, but trust me on this, it was definitely on septic. But as things build up in that area maybe they will run sewers down Bank?
  10. How so? George ain't going to let that place go down for a myriad of reasons. He will find another sucker to front the place, it is too valuable and useful to him.
  11. I seriously doubt it will close. The owner of the building will get someone to take it over. I suspect maybe the last person who was brought in to run it may have had enough and bailed while he had a chance. I heard he was having some difficulty with the building owner etc. and not making enough. Someone else will take it over. There are too few licensed places in town now, and that makes it attractive particularly as it is getting really built up in that area of Bank Street.
  12. It could be shit from the Motel (Ottawa Best Hotel) or the restaurant. Too much garbage all through that place. Not much to really throw out from the club itself. A lot of that was thrown out during the last renovations.
  13. I am unsure on this, because I know that the Casino Cabaret/Tease/ Palace of Screams etc, license has been reassigned more than once. I think the person writing for the paper doesn't understand the bylaw. The same with the Silver Dollar when it ran into trouble. They could have sold the property and the license (which was grandfathered to the address) to a new operator but as I understand it the owners didn't want to do that. If you read the bylaw section it specifically mentions the addresses that are allowed to have adult entertaiment licenses and some of them are long gone, like Jason's location in Kanata that is still on the books.
  14. I am trying to say this as politely as possible but have you been living under a rock this past few months? Stores and restaurants are boarded up all over the place during the pandemic to keep people out and resist the temptation for looting. Add to it the civil unrest/protest going on and that is why it has been done.
  15. I moved to Ottawa in '83 and the Barefax was open then and had been for awhile. It was located where the Dominion Tavern is now. It moved upstairs in the late 80's I believe. At that time in town there was BareFax, Playmate, Lido (on Portage strip), Gypsy Rose (aka Drummonds) Vendome/Valentino's, Silver Dollar, Habba Babbas (in Westboro), Pink Panther in Aylmer. Shortly there after there came Pigales, Fanny's (originally on Bank) The Den (across St Laurent and south of the NuDen) Barbarella's and one that lasted for a short while whose name I can't remember but it was located on Bank south of Landsdowne at the top of the hill there at Sunnyside. It was in the basement. Rumour has it there once was a small one in Richmond, there was Jason's in Kanata, and Carlsbad Springs. Not sure of the dates on those.
