Phoenix Area: what's there other than Dick's Cabaret?


Recommended Posts

Imagine you booked a quick trip to Phoenix. You checked some Yelp reviews for the (in)famous gay strip club Dick's Cabaret. You got a great deal on a nonrefundable plane ticket, and a good deal on a nonrefundable hotel room. 

Then, two days later, you found out Dick's had close. Perhaps for good, but even if it really is "moving," it probably won't reopen in time for your trip. 

Are there any OTHER places in Phoenix for a fan of male dancers? Are there maybe gay bars with gogo boys, or maybe a straight strip club that has men one night a week? What would you do if you were looking forward to a strip club and it closed right before your trip?

Look up Wild Men of the West Productions.  It is a group of male dancers which rotate among the gay bars in Phoenix.  You can be sure to know which days they will be dancing at which bars.

I cancelled my upcoming trip to Phoenix once I heard Dicks had closed.  But Wild Men of the West dancers were where I would have gone o before/after Dicks

Wild Men of the West perform at Cruisin' Seventh on Saturdays. It is located on Seventh Street just north of Osborn Rd. They perform at Karamba Nightclub (located on McDowell Rd east of 16th Street) on Fridays. You might also want to check out Charlie's on West Camelback Road and North Seventh Avenue. WMotW used to perform here and might still do so. 

 

Not sure where you are staying, @captainbuddy, but all three places are within a few miles of one another in Central Phoenix and a couple of miles north of Downtown. All three are a quick Lyft ride from one another.

Thank you so much! That's exactly the kind of info I needed.  When life gives you lemons...

is anybody else reminded of National Lampoon's vacation, when Wally World was closed? 

In this scenario, am I met by a security guard who looks like John Candy at the abandoned Dick's building in the industrial park, where I then, in a fit of temporary insanity, force him to let me inside the closed club and dance on the pole for me?

 

Because I feel like I shouldn't do that again.

Whatever floats your boat.

I like Phoenix. Usually, I'm there for business, but I have gone there "just because" more than once.

This turned out to be really great advice. Dancers from Wild Men of the West perform at several Phoenix clubs on different nights of the week, and at a few venues (Karamba on Thurs, Cruisin' 7th and Anvil on Sat) they did lap dances in a semiprivate area.
