Went to Jilly's with high hopes that their REVITALIZATION was going to be epically amazing.
Had I been a male in search of sexy time romance I think Jilly's would have definitely been 1 star, but I am awarding Jilly's 2 stars solely for the entertainment factor of the evening.
The "dancers" looked like they were plucked straight from the set of a Maury Povich episode (Tyeshia is back with 6 more men and she swears one of them IS the father!) I doubt a single one of these strippers was under 30. Only one had big fake tits and pole skills; the others were out of shape and had amateur-ish self-taught dance moves likely learned from watching YouTube videos.
Considering it was midnight on a Friday, the place was empty. Maybe 10-15 patrons in total - old men and 1 guy in a wheelchair who was really into it. Plus there are ghetto prostitutes everywhere (the kind that have ads in the back pages of NOW magazine). The prostitute to patron ratio was very good, I'd say 1:1.
Warning to the ladies - the strippers here apparently do not have their own dressing room facilities, so beware when entering the female washroom. When I entered, the "goth" stripper had one leg up on the sink and was wiping down her private parts with a brown paper napkin. (She looked at me and said "Don't mind me hunny, just cleaning up!")
Free entry but drinks were $8.
As far as I can tell, the "revitalization" consisted of a large flat screen tv mounted next to the stage. They were playing an old season (12) of the Ultimate Fighter. This was good because I could at least watch GSP in a speedo rolling around on the ground instead of these sad looking females on stage.
