To get up on stage and perform.

Not at all. A hot naked woman can do no wrong in the eyes of horny men.

 

I was more nervous about finances. Having completed 4 years of university, I was broke and I had to invest $200 in dancing (shoes, lingerie, housefee) and I was so nervous about not making it back. Needless to say, that wasn't a problem.

[bewlayb 7480]

After the dance' date=' a bunch of men came up to me and started hitting on me, which I found kind of annoying. There are so many dancers for them to enjoy, and I was there as a client.[/quote']

 

Yeah, that's a funny thing about us guys. I'll do the same. Surrounded by gorgeous half-dressed ladies; them giving me a wink and a smile, and suggesting we go play in the back room. Yet there I am, flirting with the waitress, kind of wishing I could see what's under her cute little outfit. Always wanting what I can't have.

Believe it was called "Cheeks" I had visited there a few times too

 

That was it, Cheeks! It was Rick's Place B4 it became a SC. At one time, it was called the Penthouse Discotheque!

The building is empty,but their is a city Rezoning sign in front. They want to redevelop the land into an office building/medical centre I beleive.

[PistolPete 61421]

Yes you are correct, first it was to be a Canadian Tire years back, but now the word is that new Medical Building is in the works.

Rick's Place. That was my first experience in an Ottawa SC. It was about '82 or '83, I think. I was in my early twenties and relatively new to the city. A friend at work was always going on about the great clubs in the city. When another work mate was getting married, the friend volunteered to organize a SC tour. The first place he took us was Rick's. We arrived before 6 PM, straight from work. The place was more-or-less empty and the house lights were still on. There were six of us, so we took a couple of tables near the stage. We ordered our beers, but no sign of any dancers. Eventually, someone must have let a girl know there were paying customers out front. Now as much as a few of us were looking forward to our first Ottawa stripper, she and her show didn't quite have the anticipated effect. It might have been because she was a bit old for us and not really a very good dancer; or, it could have been just because the lights were still on. Anyway, she soon lost our attention, so we resumed our conversations, only stopping to politely applause after each song. At the end of her set, she stands on the stage and starts yelling at us, "What's wrong with you guys? Don't you like women? What are you a bunch of f*ckin queers?" (it was the 80's, you could still say that) Needless to say we left shortly thereafter. I guess in hindsight, it was rude of us. But then again, who knew that just because we were the only ones in the place, we were obliged to watch the whole show from our table. The night vastly improved as we headed up Bank Street and eventually ended it at the Fax.

 

Valentino's and Habba Babba's were my favorite haunts in the late eighties. Went to Valentino's when I wanted to experience a guaranteed bevy of beauties. Went to HB's when I wanted a more relaxed and colorful atmosphere. Had a few interesting encounters at HB's. Like the time I honestly lost track of how much cash I had on hand and came up $10 short for the number of dances received. This is before the days of ATMs in the clubs. Lesson learned: Hell hath no fury like a dancer short-changed. 2nd lesson learned: Dancers are only interested in your bills... not your pocket change. :oops:

 

The Gypsy Rose. A bit of a long drive, but I liked that place too.

 

Final thought: I remember back in the day, when the girls still danced at your table, how as poor young college grads we would strategically sit as close as possible to where the businessmen sat. The larger the group of suits the better. We knew there would be plenty of ladies to admire from this locale. And, when a girl bent over to smudge a suit's eye glasses, we'd have a front row seat for her other assets (and vice-versa). Anybody else do this? Looking back now, I think that was a tougher environment for a girl to dance in than today's champagne room. In the room she only has one guy to contend with and more control of the situation and how she presents yourself. Out on the floor, especially on a busy night when the place was packed, she was in effect dancing intimately for several guys sitting very close all around her.

my first Ottawa sc was in 1988 at Barefax..back then it was located two doors down from where it is now and on the ground floor, currently Dominion Tavern I think..and it was a real dive back then too..the girls were ok tho, just a little rough around the edges..

[martie 110]

Underaged I skipped school with a buddy and took a bus to Casa Nova, now "The Pink", I think, near Aylmer. Went on a Thursday and they had a free buffet. Had a table dance and was so nervous that I told the lady my age after she finished after dancing to a David Bowie song Cat People (Putting out the fire with gasoline).

 

We were heroes the with the boys in high school the next day :icon_wink:

[inti-mate 3454]

Back in 1978 it was a busy spot....for a high school kid it was heaven. First time I went to a strip club. They had a person on stage called "Vik/Vicky" was a really great to watch my first time in a club. At the end, the g-string came off and Vicky became Vic and everyone gasped. Interesting first time experience.

[Guest Bri*****e Da****]

My first time at a strip club was after I'd decided I was going to become a dancer. I went with two other girls (one I had recently met who also wanted to become a dancer and her friend) to the NuDen on a Tuesday evening. My biggest surprise was a)how empty it was (silly me thought guys were always clamoring up to the stage to tip the girls!) and b)how little the girls seemed to do on stage (again, silly me expected pole tricks and acrobatics galore).

 

We spoke to a waitress who got us a dancer (guess they preferred sitting at a table together rather than trying to talk to a group of girls) that gave us a bit of a run down of dancing in Ottawa and at the Den. She was really helpful and painted a pretty realistic picture of dancing. We tried to tip her for her time but she wouldn't let us.

 

Before leaving, we spoke with the manager on duty to ask about the hiring process and a little while later, I went back and started dancing!

[joedirt 100]

My first SC was Fannys on Bank St. I will always remember Bunny with the lights in her shoes.....such good times

[boltednut 100]

This thread brings back great memories. My favourite haunt was Valentinos. In those days dancers provided great dances on stage. They would make full use of the pole and the stage floor and were extremely creative and great dancers. It made the whole watching experience that much more enjoyable. Nowadays you do not see that much. Mostly the girl walking from one end of the stage to another and taking off a piece of clothing after each song. No connection with the crowd. Makes you wonder why they evn bother to get up on the stage.

[yak2432 1499]

Boy does this bring back memories. First for me was the original Club 61 in Aylmer. Much classier (early 80's) then now. Still had the pornos going between shows as the girls only went on about every 40 min or so. One night was ladies night and a couple, man and woman, did a simulated sex show on stage.

 

I also have fond memories of Valentino's. Used to go in the afternoons and see a busty blonde who happened to be an ex of Bobby Probert's.

 

Favorite memory has to be in the Madawaska Hotel in Arnprior, yes Arnprior in the mid 1980's. Real tiny place that sat maybe 30 with a bar running completely down one wall and a small stage in the corner for the local Stompin Tom to do his thing on amateur night. We walk in and the female bartender takes our order and we sit down. No waitress and no talent anywhere to be seen. "Are you sure this is a strip bar?" I ask my buddy. Then the bartender turns up the sound system, puts down her dish rag and heads to the little stage. 3 songs later she's naked but no blanket show as the stage was too small. She gets dressed, walks by our table on the way back to the bar and says "Youse guys want another round?"

My first OTTAWA SC, was a place on Montreal rd, just north of the Queensway at about 1984. I was on a business trip and asked the travel agent to get me a hotel near the NRC. I got a dive of room at a hotel that I cant remember the name of but the bonus was the SC. Had my first ever $5 table dance.

[THRacer 370]

Think it was called the Voyageur Inn. I certainly tried to get "in" many times.

The name rings a bell. Where was it? Was this the place at Montreal Road and the Queensway?

[spud271 47779]

Fanny's on Bank St was my first SC in Ottawa. Came to Ottawa to visit my father's family and ended up going with two of my cousins. Was a great night!!! Way better than the seedy SC's in Soho...those places are damn sketchy!!!

[THRacer 370]

Yeah Jake_cdn right where Montreal Road passes under the Queensway. They put up a Pizza Hut. Such a waste. Good times in that club.

Yeah, Fanny's! That was a great place. For a small club they had some of the hottest dancers.

[BarrhavenWoody 10776]

My first SC in Ottawa was the place in Manotick about 25 years ago. Had my first table dance with a gorgeous blond. She had on a white bikini. It still brings a smile to my face. :)
