Great posts so far.A few tips to have an enjoyable time at a SC:1) Treat everyone with a high level of respect. It is so rare in SCs, you will be greatly appreciated for it. Display common decency which can be interpreted through how you dress, smell, communicate, and interact with everyone in the establishment. If you are looking like you just came off an oil field, you're doing it wrong. 2) Do not think you're "better" because you're a customer. Everyone can sense it, and it will effect your experience. Just be normal.3) The dancers aren't into you which at the end of the day doesn't matter because there is a middle ground where good conversations and times can be had. Don't go into a SC thinking you'll leave with a girlfriend - won't happen. 4) Have control over your reality - be aware of all elements in the club and how that may effect your experience. Do not let your emotions, views, drinking habits effect your behaviour to the point it gets you into trouble. For example: you are in a conversation with a dancer and you feel adamant about your position. In the real world, you may aggressively argue for your position, but for the sake of the flow of the conversation, concede and go onto the next topic.5) Understand there is a flow to conversations in a club. Realize when a dancer is signaling to you they don't want to talk about a particular topic and pivot from it.6) Beware that there are scams in the club - do not reward scammers. Take note, don't cause a scene, and don't reward it in the future. 7) Don't evade the comfort zone of the dancer in the back. Comfort zones are established either verbally from the dancer (ask), or through your experience with the dancer over time. Don't assume all dancers have the same comfort zones. 8) Be upfront about your intentions when a dancer approaches your table. Don't start talking to them if you won't be taking them to the back. Or communicate that you are 1) waiting for someone else 2) just having a drink before leaving. If they choose to stay at your table, than at least your intentions have been transparent and you have not mislead them. 9) Dancers enjoy compliments, be perceptive and considerate - perhaps they have done their hair or worn something specifically because they know that you enjoy that. 10) A more general principle: I don't believe in Karma in the real world as much as I do in a SC. Your actions have reactions, and they are quite immediate. The more good you put into the environment, the more likely you will receive a good experience. Lastly, as RD has mentioned, have realistic expectations on your overall experience.

Hey all,To try to get this section a bit more active, and also after seeing a few SC newcomers around (i.e. someone PM'd me asking for recos for a club that gives free lap dances lol), thought it would be fun for us to generate a list of tips/things to consider for customers who are new to SCs. Some ideas:1) What should they know before going in?2) What should they avoid doing while at a SC?3) How can a newcomer avoid many of the trappings of a SC? Or should they? 4) What should a newcomer's mindset be going in?I also encourage dancer participation and input to this thread as well! Best,WtS

There were quite a few events in Ottawa this weekend (Ottawa Race Weekend, Glebe Garage sale, etc). This might have been the reason for the rather slow weekend evening attendance.

I am okay with any adjustments to Ottawa SC business model that will prevent it from going belly up (that is within reason). We are actually pretty lucky, there are some places I know in the States where it is $40/song in the CR.

All from Barbs.

1) Catalina - The most personable and down to earth dancer. Amazing conversationalist. Extremely beautiful and has a unique look that stands out. 2) Mila - Very sultry, fit and has the model type look. Also good conversationalist. 3) Nicole - Less personable than the above two mentioned, however her beauty is undeniable.

She works Tuesdays and Thursdays evening now.

I have a love/hate feeling when this happens to me lol.

I'm a Barbs regular and have chatted with many, many dancers there about the work environment, cameras, etc. Never have I heard that footage is being used against them. Actually, contrary to your statement, almost all the dancers enjoy being at Barbs because they prefer the management compared to the other SCs. The only negative I've heard is the foot traffic, especially since all the construction BS.

She is there every Thursday from around 7 to close.

I think the success of this will heavily depend on how well NuDen markets this because in my opinion, her name is quite known at this point. Good point about the availability of CR time. $25 would be far too much just to watch her stage dance.

Interesting, that is a steep cover charge though. I think I'd only be interested in CR time but knowing that it will be a packed house, in addition to the cover charge, sort of lessens this interest.

I reviewed her a few posts/pages back. After some additional encounters since my initial review, she has dropped a bit in my rankings. She is a bit too talkative (non-seductive) in the back for my liking. Everyone should definitely experience her once though as her body is quite good.

Review for Oct. 22: Arrived at 10:30PM, did not see much around me until I saw a fresh new face. I was graced by the presence of Mila. This girl is incredible. Tall, slim, dark hair with an absolutely beautiful face - is from croatia. I had to take her back to the CR. She is slow and seductive but knows how to switch gears. Her dance was worth every minute. You will forget about "mileage" when you have the equivalent of a runway model filling your desires. Barbs proves, once again, that they have the ability to somehow attract young, gorgeous and motivated talent. Zoey was there as well chatted with her for about an hour before taking off. Lastly one other dancer I haven't seen before, supposedly is new according to Zoey. 35 ish years old, fake boobs, lots of tattoos 130-140ish pounds with a rock look. Overall, a very good visit thanks to Mila.

I've only sat on that row once, and tipped $60 cause I was so seduced. Dancer came by after thanking/hugging me. Did not receive extra attention during stage dance, however.

Went in on Friday at 6:00 ended up just spending time with Catalina. I don't usually go Fridays so I don't really know the names of who was there. I did see Zoey come in I think around 7:00. Very few patrons while I was there but picked up by the time I was leaving 9ish.

In response to some of the posts: I've never had a bad result doing this (can't remember a time the dancer said no). Also, I will never interrupt a "long" conversation, it will only be if the dancer just got out of CR/after dance and is hopping tables. The dancer has all the power in the world to say no, and continue on with the conversation (and potentially losing a guaranteed sale). They are usually quite happy with how they end up being compensated in the CR.

Just got back from Barbs, an excellent visit indeed. Had some CR time with some dancers I haven't experienced before. Zoey: A gorgeous Playboy type body with newly done breasts that look and feel amazing. They don't feel entirely natural but they also don't just feel like two rocks. She also has a very nice behind not just flat which is impressive given that she is relatively thin (125-135). Waited around 2 hours before I saw her out of the CR (all her regulars were lined up) - snagged her at the first chance I had. She is a new favourite, and will not disappoint. Heavenly: A bigger gal who may not be for everyone but we had some fun in the CR. Really great personality, beautiful face and if you like booty then you'll enjoy her company. Also spent time with Catalina as well which is always an A+ experience. All in all, a great night.

I just came back from my first ever visit to Pigale's. I must say I was very impressed with the overall layout and design of the place. Feels much more classy compared to Barbs. There were probably 2 dozen patrons and about a dozen dancers. Many more dancers compared to Barbs, however probably only 3 quality dancers. Only took one back to the CR who went by the name of Emily. She said she was new and dances in Montreal at a club named Wanda's. She was half Columbian and half Lebanese with an unbelievable body, beautiful hair and behind. The dance was very low contact, but still quite enjoyable given her overall attractiveness.

Just got back from Barbs after being there for around 3 hours. 10 minutes after my arrival Phoenix comes in. Was somewhat surprised as she is really short/petite in her civilian clothes. She approaches my table and after abit of chit chat we had to the CR. She did some new positions today that were incredible. Phoenix is such a beauty by all accounts. Other terrific beauties who were present: Stacey, Felicia, Catalina

Firstly I think you should come into a club dressed in a "smart" way. That doesn't mean in a suit, it means that you're well groomed, and perhaps look a little more sophisticated than you would if you were hanging around the house. Dancers are less likely to want to dance for you if you look broke, or "appear" to have terrible hygiene. Secondly, as some have already mentioned, eye contact is key. I like to lock eyes with the dancer to show interest and then nudge my head as a way to say "come on over". This is all that needs to be done most of the time. If I am interested in a dancer that is doing a stage show, pay attention to them, smile, and you "can" tip (however I do not unless it's simply to reward an amazing performance). Lastly, if I really just want CR time with a particular dancer, and they are with someone, I have no qualms about asking for a dance while another customer is chatting them up. The dancer is there to generate money not chat with customers, their main drive and motivation will always be a sale of time in the CR room. Remember this is not a regular club and it's not about getting them to like you or shmoozing but rather effectively being able to demonstrate interest that will lead them to a sale of CR time.

Last week I had just finished spending a boat load on my regular and was just finishing my beer....when in comes Phoenix. She sits down at my table with the biggest, infectious smile one could imagine. This was my first ever encounter with her, and even though I had reached my limit I had to take her back to the CR. Her body is so well defined, waist so small it's like she doesn't have a ribcage. She has such a seductive way, I loved every minute. Wish I could have stayed back there longer but by that point I had gone way beyond my limit. Next time :). I also stayed for her stage dance and she puts alot of effort in. Looks amazing and has a real presence when she gets on stage and does her thing. A true performer.

There is a very notable excitement during several stages of acquiring a stripper's phone number, and the later stages as well. Firstly, the asking of the number and the actual exchange. For some reason, atleast for me, the exchange is exciting in it of itself. I usually ask right after a string of dances in the CR, and the exchange happens right there. Then the next stage of the flirtatious texts with the stripper (usually to find out their schedule). Again, there is an arousal aspect of receiving a text from a stripper (most likely due to the association between her texts, and her sexual allure). In reality, I am sure these dancers get 50+ messages from regulars a day and it is just part of their job to respond a certain way to keep us on the hook. Either way, customers should not badger dancers to respond quicker, or be pushy over text.

For sure. I love reading other patron's experiences as well. I'm always astounded when I go and there is a new beauty that pops up. Would love to hear who some of your favourites r___d? I will be very active in this thread :)

First time poster here - been picking up my visits to Barb's in the last month. My favourite dancers: Catalina, Phoenix, Kimberley, Taylor, Felicia. All terrific beauties.
