Megan'sTouch 23875 Report post Posted January 9, 2011 I'm considering dancing during my stay in Kingston. Does anybody have anything to say about Shaker's Lounge? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest riv***at***8 Report post Posted January 9, 2011 Great to hear you are not only coming to Kingston, but also thinking about dancing for the masses that might not be able to meet you privately. Concerning Shaker`s though, it used to be sketchy, but a new owner has been trying to make it a bit more respectable. I`m pretty sure a lady such as yourself, could do a lot for the place. It would be nice to have a respectable `Lounge`in Kingston to go with the guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rachelle Reigns 4828 Report post Posted January 9, 2011 As a dancer and feauture dancer for over 5 years I'd say don't waist your time hun...It's a dump. When I worked there ( I did'nt know better back then) I was thrown to the ground and had a gun put to my head when it was raided for drugs! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cowboy kenny 50799 Report post Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) They are trying to turn the place around, however from what I understand it is also currently in the midst of an battle over ownership, as the group who where once partners in the joint have turned against one another. Bills are piling up and some staff arent being paid. Between that and the insight Rachelle has provided I'd stay clear of the place and avoid the drama!

massman 200 Report post Posted January 9, 2011 I'd just like to provide a different point of view. I've been there about a half dozen times over yhe last 5 years. While it's not an "upscale" sc, I've always found the place to be clean, with a relaxed atmosphere. There's a range of girls, to suit everyones taste and usually 1 or 2 knockouts. The dancers have always been friendly, and low pressure (not the relentless "vannadance" that you get in many of the gta clubs) it is as far as I'm aware a "low mileage" club. The VIP is small and not very private. Overall not a bad place to chill out with a beer and some nice naked girls. I don't doubt it has some faults, and I'm vaguely aware of some of the recent issues with the change in management, but it's certainly not the worst place from my point of view.

Rachelle Reigns 4828 Report post Posted January 9, 2011 Another thing to keep in mind is you now need a license to dance there..it's at least a 100$...and you would have to be here during the week to get it from the court house. No license no dancing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ktown 100 Report post Posted January 20, 2011 I have been there many times over the years... has always pretty much been a dump, would love to go elsewhere but Kingston sucks and its the only strip club in town. Last time I was there, about a month ago I have to admit it did seem nicer, and there were more bouncers then usual. So, I dunno, maybe its cleaning up a bit.

Megan'sTouch 23875 Report post Posted January 24, 2011 I called and apparently it doesn't exist anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ktown 100 Report post Posted January 24, 2011 Huh, well thats news to me... I was there about 3 weeks, maybe a month ago. I hope its not closed as that would leave me no strippers at all :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stbus83 137 Report post Posted January 25, 2011 I`ve noticed a new sign out front: `The Plaza Gentleman`s Club`. Not Shakers anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted January 25, 2011 Dumb question, as an ex-Kingstonian, is Shakers on Montreal Street, close to Princess (actually just down from the armouries) Wondering, because back in my youth, it was the Plaza But I did my wandering at the Manor...yikes, almost got caught by the cops for drinking underage there too...but thats another story RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The manor was often more full of under age drinkers than legal age drinkers! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stbus83 137 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 Ah yes....the old Lakeview Manor! Man, how I miss that place! That`s were I got my `real` education back in my collage days! lol The girls, the bands....lots of great memories.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSanityAssassin 160 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 Wow....Manor was way before my time. Just know about it from my Dad's stories about his band playing there.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Megan'sTouch 23875 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 I called again yesterday and spoke with a much nicer woman. She told me that Shaker's is still open. The hours are 2pm-2am and you need a license to dance. I was too booked up with massage to consider dancing on this trip, but I will consider a longer trip next time. I think the last call I made was a miscommunication. She told me "Shaker's is closed" and I thought she meant permanently. I called around 1pm so I think she may have just meant they were closed at that time. I may go check it out tonight....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sl*nt*ds*x Report post Posted January 28, 2011 I don't care what they call the place... I'll always refer to it as the plazoo... always have a good time there whether alone or with friends. When Robyn was bartending I could go months before showing up again and she would remember me and what I drank. Some of the ladies there need more personality... but there have been a few diamonds in the rough. Have fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
holymoly121212 100 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 the strip club is still open i was there on the weekend it wasnt that bad of a spot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest f***ny****o*** Report post Posted February 5, 2011 I was in the Plaza once just before Christmas. It seemed alright to me, it was early afternoon and not a lot of traffic however the 3 ladies that were on all seemed pleasant enough. The private dance rooms are a quite open which helps them to easily control the no touching rule. Overall I didn't mind the place at all. I'm sure later in the evening when it's busier and there are a few more ladies on it would be an ok spot to relax. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest B**z Report post Posted September 4, 2011 I agree, the place has been cleaned up big time, it looks amazing and the staff are friendly and happy, The Plaza looks like a great place to relax and enjoy some fine ladies. It was my first time there in over 5 years and trust me it is not the same old Plaza..Check it out, huge improvements, I will be back, hopefully next time Jazy will be there :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reddog01 30280 Report post Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Yes I remember the Plaza as the only place to be if visting Kingston. Yes it is not a Pigales or Barb's but it is the best (as far as I know) for Kingston. I first went there in the early 1990's. Edited September 4, 2011 by Reddog01 Tone.

massman 200 Report post Posted September 6, 2011 I stop by here about 3-4 times a year. Last was a couple weeks ago ( caught jazy's last couple songs - she is awesome!). In contrast to the others, i notice little difference. Some minor cosmetic changes/ improvements. Staff were cool (usually were) and girls ok. Seemed to be more "bouncer presence" which gives an uptight vibe to me, but whatever. Still a good place to grab a beer and see some naked girls. Nothing more, nothing less.
