I spoke with Alannah a week ago. She told me that she tends bar during the week and mostly dances on the weekends.

She's there frequently. I don't know if she actually dances there anymore. I saw her take a customer back to the VIP recently but she's always dressed in street clothes and never does a stage show.

Both the Cabaret and the Go-Go are open during the daytime. The number and quality of girls is hit and miss at both clubs but there's always fun to be had at both places. Daytime and early evening is the best time at both of these clubs if you want to spend any time with one of the dancers. Later, after 11:00 pm it gets pretty busy and the dancer that you had your eye on will likely be too busy to take for a trip to the VIP.

Kat's found a new home up at the Go-Go for anyone interested in spending some time with her.

I don't know any details about ownership, club name or management but I have been informed by a reputable source that the former Plaza Gentlemen's Club will reopen under new management on January 7th in 2016.

Great news!!! According to an article in the Whig Standard newspaper yesterday, The Plaza will reopen under new management in the future.

A lot of girls left Kingston to work in Belleville and many of their regulars followed them. The owners of the Plaza SC license don't own the building but they do own the SC license so if it's not going to open again as a SC under new management, they can sell the one and only remaining Kingston SC license to someone else. The last thing Kingston needs is another trashy nightclub filled with binge drinking Queens and St. Lawrence College students. It could use a decent strip club though.

It's no secret that the Plaza Gentleman's Club has been for sale for a while now but I just heard that it will be closing sometime in December. With some new management and a few renovations this place has great potential.

Did you see Lucky on your visit? She hasn't been around in a while. There's never a shortage of fun in the VIP at the Cabaret.

When I looked at the lineup that is now frequently in Belleville, it appears that most of the local girls are making the trip to Belleville. Candy and Kara came back to the Go-Go back in January. Recently I've seen Match, April, Brooke and Taylor in either the Go-Go or the Cabaret. Violet and Mercedes also come up but usually only on Sundays when the Plaza is closed anyway. Lucky was bouncing back and forth between the Plaza and the Cabaret but she's currently not working. Not surprisingly many of their regular customers have followed suit and make the trip to Belleville to see them since every time I'm there I bump into customers I recognize from the Plaza. Great for the girls but bad for the Plaza I would suspect since usually the dancers outnumber the customers lately in Kingston. Friday night there was 15 dancers at the Plaza and all but two of them were from out of town. The girls that I talked to were pissed about too many girls + very few customers @ $15/dance + bar/DJ fees + accommodation/travel = losing money to work that night and likely won't be back. Unhappy dancers are less than fun......just sayin!!! As a regular SC patron I like to see a healthy blend of regular dancers and fresh new faces rotating in and out of a club to keep things fresh and exciting. Customers can develop a connection and become regulars with the house girls and spice it up every now and then with the new girls that come for a short stint. In a big city club the dynamics may be different but in smaller venues like Kingston, Belleville, Cornwall and some of the smaller clubs in Ottawa like Tease Inc, it's the regular house girls that convert occasional customers into regular patrons with a pocket full of $20 bills. Oh well, it's only 45 minutes to Belleville!!!

There seems to be an exodus of girls from the Plaza in Kingston coming to work at both clubs in Belleville. Kingston's loss is Belleville's gain.

I haven't heard the topless rumor about the Cab. That said, the Cab did recently get some kind of grant to develop artistic entertainment. Is there a possible link? Either way, the Cab and the Go Go are both great places; each in their own way. The Cab has more of a local dive bar atmosphere where the Go Go seems to cater to the younger crowd and late night party goers with a big city club decor. It all depends what you're looking for in a strip club or from a dancer that will determine the outcome of your experience. Ultimately you can't go wrong in either place if you treat the girls with respect.

I was at the Cab two weeks ago and Tigress was working. It was a quiet night with only three or four of the regular girls on deck but still had a great time.

Some time ago I learned an important life lesson while spending time with a beautiful dancer. After being approached and spending about 20 minutes with this beautiful young lady she asked me "would you like to go for a dance" to which I replied "of course, I was just looking for the right moment to ask you". She let out a huge sigh and replied; "Thank you. You have no idea how nervous I was to ask you to go for a dance". I was stunned. "Why would a beautiful, sexy and intelligent woman such as yourself be nervous about asking a shy middle aged guy like me if he wanted to go for a dance"? Her reply changed me forever. She asked; "how many times in your life have you been shot down by a girl in a club, or asking her for her number.....30-40 times total in your life". Well it doesn't matter how beautiful you are, we dancers can often get turned down for dances that many times in one night. Rejection hurts and I feel it each time I approach a customer.......especially one I've never met before". I've always been highly respectful and appreciative of the times that I've spent with dancers but before that encounter I'd never given a second thought to a dancer's insecurities or vulnerabilities. That encounter changed me as a patron of SC's but more importantly it changed who I am as a man for which I'm eternally grateful.

You've got to be kidding me? Virtually every retail establishment including SC's will have a multitude of cameras strategically scattered throughout public areas. If they don't they're extremely vulnerable to liability issues on several fronts most significantly the safety and protection of their staff and assets. There are no cameras in the VIP area upstairs....and if there are, they're not reviewing them. You need not be paranoid about being on camera in any SC unless you're involved in criminal or undesirable behavior that might be reviewed during the investigation of an alleged incident. Remember, video footage is a double edge sword....it can be equally risky for a club if that video exposes inappropriate behavior such as extras in the VIP area or other criminal activity such as drugs or serving drunken patrons. Your privacy is not at risk by having zone cameras recording daily events. Any publication of the images or other information captured on video by the club would be criminal on their part.

I agree with you about Alyssa. Every SC has it's share of beautiful and sexy women but Alyssa's natural understated beauty is absolutely breathtaking. I'm not exaggerating when I state that she is one of the most gorgeous women you'll ever meet in your lifetime and her demure personality immediately sets you at ease when you speak with her. I'm feeling the need to visit Belleville again very soon.

Lucky is an 5'6", 120 pound, natural 34 C's, 40 year old dancer with curly shoulder length blond hair and a loud raspy voice. She's a little rough around the edges but she's popular with the middle aged patrons and seems to have a few regulars wherever she's dancing. As long as she hasn't consumed too much tequila, she can still perform skillfully on the pole and carry on a decent conversation. If she's drinking too excess it's better to steer clear. She tends to be a little territorial with customers if you don't make it clear that you like to see other dancers once in a while. I hear she's dancing again at the Plaza in Kingston.

It seems that the Cab is pretty quiet most days until later in the evenings. After about 10:00 pm the party gets rolling and there's always enough dancers to go around. The ladies are pretty much the same regulars with a few new girls looking for a change of scenery once in a while. Lucky's gone back to the Plaza in Kingston. Haven't seen Sarah there in a while. Julie, Chloe, Tiffany and Carmen are always in a party mood. Not too sure about daytime fun? I was at the Go-Go last week...nice to see Candy and Kara back dancing there again after being away for about a year. The late night action seems to be the same at the Go-Go as the Cab. I haven't had a chance to frequent the GG enough to get to know any of the girls yet. I really enjoyed the quality of the stage shows at the GG and couldn't help notice the quantity of women customers coming and going throughout the night either as a group or with a guy. Either way, no matter what your taste in atmosphere, drinks, women and VIP room experiences...you should be able to meet or exceed expectations at either club. Enjoy!!!

It's absolutely unlike any other SC in the region and for me that's a good thing. If you go there between 4:30 to 6:00 pm you'll find that it can be hit and miss regarding the number of girls working. Many of the girls work there exclusively during the daytime hours usually leaving around 5:00 pm as the night shift straggles in between 5:00 to 6:00 pm leaving a bit of a lull in the action. I've never been disappointed when I had a couple of cool ones while I waited for the night to get rolling. I do notice that Tease customers tend to not hang around too long, instead they come in for a quick drink and a couple of dances and out they go. Whatever works for you but these guys usually miss out on the opportunity to grab a few songs with the best dancers before they get too busy. Good things come to those that wait.

Keep going back....as you get a chance to spend some time with some of the regular girls you won't be disappointed and it seems that there's always a smattering of new girls each time I visit as well.

It's a strip club, not a MP or brothel. Asking for a description of services at a SC in a public forum like CERB is inappropriate and disrespectful. At the very least your post implies that you're seeking intel on what type of extras might be available and which dancer might provide extras. I mean no disrespect whatsoever but some of the girls that work at Tease are CERB members and I'm sure that they'd appreciate being treated with the dignity and respect that they deserve. What you can expect at Tease is an opportunity to meet an eclectic mix of beauties eager to entertain you and ensure that you have a great time. No matter what your taste, you're sure to meet a girl to suit your desires. Enjoy!!!

Thanks for you're insight everyone. I will be sure to share this with her over a few drinks and chuckles next week. I was a bit suspicious but with all of the redirect and politics surrounding the new prostitution legislation not much would surprise me. I'm pretty sure based upon the girl's demeanor and our conversation that I wasn't duped by her. I've known her for a while and she was genuinely concerned about her ability to continue working as a dancer while she finished her education. I'm pretty confident now that she was fed a line of crap for someone's entertainment.

I was at an Ottawa SC this week and one the dancers was telling me of a recent visit from Service Canada employees speaking to them about the upcoming changes in the prostitution laws and how it will impact dancers and strip clubs. Some of the comments that came from the Service Canada people if accurate clearly illustrate the disturbing disconnect between our elected officials, overeducated/underachieving bureaucrats and the realities of sex workers. All the more reason to speak out against the proposed changes. I applaud Service Canada's efforts to reach out to the dancers but it's a day late and a dollar short in my opinion. In addition, they should be talking to the girls for their input not talking at them to suggest that "big brother" is now here to save them. Has any other CERB members heard or experienced anything similar to this recently?

I've been to Tease Inc a dozen or so times both in the daytime and evenings during the last six months and I've never met or seen a doorman working during any of my visits. Is it possible that you've formed your opinion based upon false assumptions? At the very least, you describe a single incident with an individual employee that may have been irresponsible. It certainly doesn't rate as a pattern of inappropriate behaviour as you've suggested. My personal observations are that Tease is different than other strip clubs....that's why I like to go there when I'm in the Capital region. I've never witnessed any inappropriate crap at Tease with management, staff or customers like I have in other SC's. The dancers that I've had the pleasure of spending some time with all echo LuxeMulvarie's observations. One sure thing about a SC is that if the dancer's are happy at work then I'm happy as a customer!!!

I was wondering if anyone else would find this as disturbing as I do? I agree with you about working while pregnant being a personal choice but there's no excuse for endangering the health of an unborn child. Wrong on so many levels.
