Cock Eyed Optimist

I'm considering loosening up the conventions and adding the two Adonis outlets......

Andy is an awesome guy!  He has been my bartended for over 20 years.  I started with him when we was at Johnny’s down on Broward

Just spent 2 nights in FLL. Both nights spent the evening at LeBoy. Pleasantly surprised and pleased to see more Twunks than Twinks. One dancer, Mauro, Brazilian was SO MUCH FUN. Brazilian man. Ohhhhhh ... those Brazilians steal my heart and make me weak. It was Andy's birthday party weekend. Still in recovery. Can't wait to return!

I've been visiting the Lucky Horseshoe every night this weekend while I'm in Chicago.  It is better than ever!  There seem to be more dancers, and better looking dancers, than in my visits in years past.  I've had exceptional lap dances with several of them.  While there is no "private" area for dances, I've had more body contact with some of these dancers during one lap dance song than I've had in private booths after several songs in other cities.  These boys are hot, and they give me the equivalent of 3 dances at other places (in terms of time and body contact) and only charge for 1, so I pay them for 2 and we are both very happy. 😊

Hey guys,
Any intel on the Real Luck Cafe (“Lucky’s”) in Pittsburgh?  I’ve scoured the forum but can only find rather vague mentions. I know the have nude dancers on the second floor multiple days of the week and it sounds like they allow smoking. That’s about it.
Is it just a bar to watch naked guys and that’s it or can you get lap or private dances? What types of guys are dancing? What kind of crowd on a weekend? How late are they open?
Planning on making my first trip out there soon and just looking to find out what to expect so I can be prepared, like if I should bring wads of cash. 😁
Thanks for any info!

Good riddance.

go spend two hours at Johnson’s Ft Lauderdale and observe -  almost all the “older” guys are drinking - and not just a little.  Then walk through Wilton Manors and observe the thirty+ bars all packed & everybody drinking.  It’s noticeable.  
there may be some regional differences in alcohol consumption among certain groups - in S Florida, the culture is drinking. 

Sorry BD, while I agree on your estimation that dancer preferences are diverse and work themselves out by whether or not they make money, I disagree about liquor consumption.  The bartenders at Johnson’s are busy serving men drinks! And I’ve been in plenty of clubs where some bachelorette parties are drinking and others are simply being tourists for the dancers - not drinking at all either because they’ve drunk in the limo or they don’t want to pay gay bar drink prices or who knows why… But it’s just factually incorrect that women drink and “us older guys don’t.”  That is definitely projection of your perception.  

If no license applications have even been submitted by Colunga, the chances of it opening in May are almost non-existent.  That should have the first thing he did.  Anything involving a liquor license in Chicago takes forever.  
Does anyone have more information on this?

The Lucky Horseshoe still is the main dancer bar in Chicago.  they have dancers every night except Monday. On any given night, they have from 10 to 15 dancers.  There are two stages, in different room, for dancers, and there is a third room with a bar that opens on weekends.
The owner of Lucky horseshoe also owns “@tmosphere” which has dancers late at night.  It is up in Andersonville.  It is much smaller with one stage.
Those are the only two places that are left in Chicago as far as I know.

I was there all winter. Left two weeks ago. I spent all my time with Bracho and Jason.
Both gorgeous and very friendly!

There are a few of us around!

A Johnson’s Tampa staff member just told me the proposed Chicago location will be at the former Berlin site.  We’ll see if it happens!

I was told that they bought the recently vacated Berlin club on Belmont. Any word on this?  I asked a bartender from Lucky Horseshoe and he said they weren’t being bought out. Confusing

I just hope they don’t buy out The Lucky Horseshoe Lounge.  That has been my favorite dancer bar in Chicago for years!
 

What is Matt’s FB page?  Thanks.   I hope this doesn’t mean that Matt is going to replace the Lucky Horseshoe, with Johnsons.

Oh, that's right. Berlin did close after 40 years.   Although there is a builder proposal to re-develop 200 W Belmont, but it does not seem to be the building that housed Berlin. This will be interesting, if true.  Montreal, meet Chicago and walk from Lucky Horseshoe to Johnson's !

Really??? Hmmm.  Probably left to fuk a girl

A Chicago page is up on the Tampa and FTL Facebook tab!  However, I don't see a location and they say it is in Boystown and will be open in May.  
 

I don't know Matt's personal page, but here's the Tampa page:
Johnsons Tampa | Tampa FL

Whatever you do, don't bring your female friends.  Your fellow gay customers will thank you.  Johnson's Ft Lauderdale allows females, but each female must be accompanied by a male in the group, they are not allowed to have private dances, and are constantly reminded by the DJ to stop "woo-hoo"-ing and screaming and to actually tip the dancers rather than just take up space near the stage.
