| - Montreal is a beautiful city but can be brutal in the winter months. I recollect segments from a bachelor party weekend (March 07). This was one of the places we visited as my entourage needed to warm up.
Kingdom is an all nude gentlemen's club which serves alcohol. In NY/NJ this is unheard of. (generally, all nude = juice bar, topless = alcohol). The interior is nice, clean and gives you that city lounge feel. It's like I never left NY.
One alarming thing was that the establishment was almost always empty. There were no more than 3 girls walking around even on a Friday or Saturday night. If you counted the patrons, we made up half to 2/3 of the customers. I asked the one of the talent for an explanation; she feigned innocence. "This eez happening! This eez how it always eez." Sorry my French accent doesn't manifest itself on paper.
For 10 Canadian dollars you are fortunate to have a 'dance' in the general area (where you are currently sitting). This is weird, yet amusing to see your horny friends keep a straight face while this occurs.
I believe it was more to go into the private area, but you had to 'pay a toll'. I think this mechanism was there to make sure the dancers weren't cheating the house. So, for 2 dances in the back, it would be about 32 Canadian (like 15 each, plus the 2 dollar toll). I know, madness.
While you waited, there was a main stage and I witnessed some uninspired showcase of performers. The talent here did not know how to work the pole. That is ok, I did not expect much from the talent (2 of them were attractive college students).
Waitress service was good, and we drank many of Molson Triple X and Labatt Blue beers (we didn't feel a high markup). If you asked me if I was treated like royalty in Montreal, then call me the Burger King. This is an average gentleman's club. High mileage? Not here.
Kingdom is far from great. I will say it was not the worst place in Montreal.
