I don't know when the dancers start on Wednesday. I got there around 11 and it was pretty busy. He specifically called out wednesdays so I assume that means they are busier and have more dancers.

Wednesday was pretty busy and now I’m here on a Friday and there’s a good range of dancers too.

Maybe 10-15? This was last fall

Pretty standard $20 a song. Pretty wide range of dancers from twinks to bodybuilders to bears and muscle bears.

Overall I’d say if you’re going to come on a Sunday you can have a good time but get here at 10

Had a lovely chat with one of the dancers and he says dancers start at 9:30 on sundays and that wednesdays after midnight might as well be a weekend.

Agreed that spunk has a wider range (and quantity) of guys. Did enjoy myself at buffdaddy’s at red eye last time I was in town though. Not a lot of privacy but that didn’t hamper things much.

Okay. There is now a DJ and the dancers came out around 9:30. Probably about 7 or 8 dancers and about 15 customers now.

Someone let me know if this is a normal experience at Johnson’s: I opened a tab at the bar when I got there. Went to get a second drink, from the guy at the other end of the bar. Told him my name for the tab, he looked and said he couldn’t find it. I pointed to the other bartender and said I opened my tab with that guy and he looked super annoyed and begrudgingly went over and talked to the dude and put my drink on my tab. Are you only supposed to order drink from the specific person you opened your tab with? Made me feel like an asshole but I’ve never run into that anywhere else.

Which clubs are you thinking of in Chicago? Only one I know of is lucky horseshoe

Can’t offer any advice but wish we had opposite luck. I’m pretty much a total bottom and got a dance from this super hot muscle guy at 69 and he immediately took my dick out and sat on it. Lol

lol. I just got here at 8:45 on a Sunday, and there are 2 other customers here and no dancers. Strike that, one dancer just walked in. Guess we’ll see if it gets busier.

I’m not POC but I did just see Ben and holy wow. So friendly and so sexy. Will be hitting him up every time I’m in LA.

Yeah I went last night and had a ton of fun.

Also I didn't have any issue with communication. Very responsive via text, in person we chatted a bit at the beginning but I'm not much of a talker during massage so he followed suit.

I just saw him today, and it's hands-down the best massage I've gotten in Chicago. He is so incredibly hot, and it was an extremely relaxing, real massage that seamlessly blended into sensual. I'll be back.

I am one of the crossovers but I agree there aren't a ton. There did used to be more IML parties at bars where there'd be strippers/sex shows (e.g. Pig Daddy with Rocco Steele) but there haven't been as many of those lately.

It's hard to take you seriously when you use terms like alphabet mafia. Do you use the term feminazi too?

Never said it was. The Black community has generally come to a different decision about it than the queer community has. Doesn't mean my decision is any less valid.

Similarly, the word "homosexual" is by definition a clinical term and an accurate descriptor of who I am. But 90% of the time when I hear that word outside of the clinical setting, it is being used as a pejorative by people who hate me. Words don't literally only mean what the dictionary says they do, especially when it comes to how minority communities use those words (generally they're not the ones who get to decide the definitions).

It's weird to me that you bring up "gay" being used as an insult here and don't realize it's hurting your argument. "Gay" is both used as an insult and as a self-identification. "Queer" is both used as an insult and as a self-identification. Lots of words can be used both as an insult and as a source of pride. Or used in a spirit of defiance in the face of oppression. I have personally had the word "gay" used more to insult me than "queer," does that mean I'm allowing myself to be defined by an insult when I call myself gay? No one is being willfully ignorant of the fact that queer can be and is used as an insult. You're the one being willfully ignorant of the fact that many people are well aware of that fact and still make the well-educated decision to use that term for themselves.

That was exactly how it went. It got a bit busier as the night went on, but none of the guys were very my type. (I tend to like built or bear-adjacent dudes and they were all slim or twinky.) they advertise a drag race watch party on Fridays so I came back tonight and there were 5 people there for drag race lol. Followed by a drag show for an hour and then the same 4 guys came back out as gogos

Several years ago the NYC government made the decision to deprioritize enforcement of nudity/sexual activity laws w/r/t gay bars. Without naming any names, there are NYC gay bars that advertise having play spaces, there are events held at bars that openly advertise as play parties, and there are even gay naked happy hour events that travel around between non-gay bars.

Atmosphere has no lap dances at all. I don’t think there’s anything that could be called a “strip club” in Chicago at the moment.

I’m at Karamba half an hour before the show and there are 10 women and one other guy here. This doesn’t bode well lol.
