The Brass Pole Cabaret

I got bricked ngl. Shawty went down and never came up. All that for $10 and my damn good looks. I came in my pants. At my age I thought I'd only dream of such pleasure

I've been going to the Pole on and off probably over the past decade now. It's pretty much the go-to poor man's strip joint if those of us Lorain county folk can't make the trek out to the Brookpark road joints or to downtown Cleveland.

For starters, it's a small place. You pay a 5 to10 dollar cover at the door, and then you'll notice the bar area, which has a very homey "corner bar" feel to it, and then the main stage, which is small yet surprisingly spacious. It's pretty easy to get a good view of the stage most anywhere you sit.

The girls work the floor aggressively, and will sit down with you and size you up, as they do most places. However here, they settle in so fast it almost feels like a pressure sales tactic at a used car lot. That's a turnoff, but you act distant enough they'll get up and move to the next table.

The women themselves are fairly decent looking, most all of them are average at best, a couple maybe above. Private dances are 10 bucks, and well, let's just say depending on the girl, you get more than your money's worth.

The drinks cost 4-6 dollars, and they serve beer and liquor both. Most nights I go, I'll spend between 30-50 bucks and leave having had a good strip club experience on the cheap. Is it Christie's or the Hustler? Heck no, but the Brass Pole is fun on a budget, and much better instead of going to Bugsy's in downtown Elyria.

I have been to the Brass Pole only a couple of times. It was a decent place, given that it was for exotic dancing. The drinks were very small, so I switched to beer. I decided to try the VIP Room with one of the dancers. To my surprise, the bartender and security burst into the room in the middle of "my time". I am guessing that it in part due to complaints by one of the dancers who thought I would bring HER to the VIP. In any case, their VIP is likely to be invaded at any time. Do not pay for it, and expect privacy.
