| - came to Christie's (Tempe location) as part of plan B of a Bachelorette Party. We originally wanted to go to Dick's but found their $20 cover charge a tad ridiculous.
Price:
-cover charge was $12 on Friday night, be aware that Christie's downtown (which I called) only charges $10.
-after I offered to cover for myself and the bachelorette, the cashier notified me that the two of us would be let in for free. SWEET!
-Bachelorette Party packages were offered to us, but very few were drinking and the $200-300 bottle service didn't seem worth it.
Ambiance:
-classy joint, kinda reminds me of the Belagio what with the fresco'd ceiling, etc.
-pretty full house, but not too noisy, music was kept at a great level.
-relatively dark (duh, it's a strip club) but walkable
-nice big stage with room for plenty of crawling about and sexy strutting. Other reviewers mention "no pole" but there was definitely a pole there when I was there!
-a few ladies "roaming" the crowd, none ever approached our two tables.
-I appreciated that the ladies had their own bathroom separate from the dancers' bathroom
-smoking outside only
Service:
-our waitress was really polite and friendly despite a couple of setbacks (one of our party's card was unreadable/declined, several weren't drinking). She was very prompt and got our drink orders quickly. She also sent over the VIP hostess to offer up some specials.
-VIP hostess was really sweet, offered us a couple different options, but never pushed them. We politely declined and she didn't ask/bug us further.
-cashier was also very nice, was able to give me $40 in ones right off the bat without a complaint.
Drinks:
-we ordered a couple rounds of Fireball shots (probably $8 a shot) and then finished up with just ordering mixed drinks.
-I'd suggest paying cash as paying with credit card means you end up signing several receipts and losing track of them (as I did later in the night).
-as a note, this strip club (like many others) puts a "hold" on your card to ensure payment in case you walk out before paying for your lap dance or drinks. Don't freak out and call your bank (like my friend did) 'cuz you'll look like an amateur. This pending charge will disappear after a day or so and the card has been cleared.
Dancers:
-really wide variety of tastes to be catered to here, from your au natural to boyish/waifish frame to exotic to plastic surgery vixens. I really didn't see a single dancer who was "unattractive", most are pretty classy and only saw one with tattoos.
-I LOVED the girl who did the belly dancing; she started off a bit more covered up than most of the girls, but REALLY got the crowd going with her hypnotic moves. MOAR PLEASE!
-went stage-side for a few girls, but they hardly any paid ANY attention to me or any of the girls who also came up (it was their first time). Only ONE dancer (out of 4 or so) paid any attention to us, and thankfully, she recognized the bride-to-be and gave her extra special attention. Would love to see them really pay better attention to the ladies, as it's not just the men who shell out those dolla bills, ya'll.
