Yay! All my dreams have come true. I'm finally getting to live out my life long ambition of reviewing a strip club.
For Your Eyes Only is located on the corner of King Street West and Portland and I swear, you could pass it and not even know what it is. Unlike most exotic dancing locations in Toronto, this place doesn't plaster up posters of half dressed girls all over their doors and windows. In fact the front of the place is pretty much entirely black. Who would have thought.... a strip club that understands subtly?
Anyway the place inside is your average, run of the mill rippers. Girls dance topless on stage, guys get lap dances upstairs and you can sit and enjoy a nice glass of pinot and a chat about federal politics in the 'lounge'. That is, when you aren't being harassed by your waitress to buy some unidentifiable concoction in a test tube. Or when the servers aren't screaming at each other about which chair belongs to which table and who gets to serve you and your "party". Or when all the cracked-out dancers are standing around looking for some guy to grind up against so they can allegedly "pay their way through college."
For Your Eyes Only is pretty on par with the other strip clubs in the city, and it's in a pretty decent area, which is more than I can say for most of them. You will get harassed to buy drinks, you'll pay a lot for them too and you won't stop being forced to part with your money until you walk out the door. But if you want to see some live nude girls, this is as good a place as any.
