Johnson’s Tampa Price Hike: $25/Song

[NYmuscllover]

but the dancers in Portland are soo alternative 

[+ sniper]

A 25% increase in 15 years is well under 2% per year. Consider we have all aged during that time and the commensurate drop in the quality of the guys we can get to touch us for free and you will realize it's a bargain...

You can't see a double feature for a quarter or get a Pepsi for five cents either. Get over it.

For some comparison: 

Silverado in Portland is $25 per "Dance".  A Dance is 8 minutes.  No fee to enter the private dance area.  Only a $6 cover to enter the bar on weekends.

Spunk at Monsters in New York City charges $20 per 5 minutes, plus a cover charge to enter the bar ($20 I think?).

Le Boy in Ft Lauderdale is $20 per 3 minute song.  Plus, you must pay the house ($10-$20?) each time you enter the private dance area with a new dancer.

Campus in Montreal is $20Canadian per 3 minute song , and only the cover charge at the door after a certain hour.

Puerto Vallarta clubs are around 500Pesos paid to the house for 10 minutes private with a dancer, and usually no cover charge.

You cannot blindly compare other clubs. Location can determine the price and if they have hot guys! Johnson's always has quality guys so they get to set the new standard for their club

True, but the dancers definitely expect a "tip." And it can vary wildly depending on the dancer and the services performed. Still the cheapest LITERAL bang for your buck in North America.

Hi all,

Just discovered that Johnson's Tampa recently increased per song lapdance fee from $20 to $25 per song. Is this true at the Ft Laud location as well?

Is it just me, or does the math not math? 6 songs for roughly 18 minutes is less than the 15 minute room.

I could be wrong, but the Single Song: $25 is for the lap dance cubicle with a chair, curtain open.

The Rooms listed have curtains closed.

[Poppie]

You are correct. A private room with the curtains closed sounds VERY hot.

Are there any strip clubs in America or Canada where the dancers get nude?

Johnson's Tampa Instagram says that they are open this evening during the Helena storm.  Are they kidding or crazy?  Just heard on the weather channel about a death in Ybor City but no other site has this info other than a downed traffic camera.

The math at $300. 
 

An escort is $300 for 1 hour. Full on boom chicka boom bang bang.

The same $300 is approx. 12 Songs at $25 or approx. 48 minutes if each song is 4 mins (usually a song is in the 3 min plus seconds range). And you do NOT get the full on full on. Then there are the drinks for yourself plus tips for the bois passing by. 
 

It’s ok if you want the whole strip club experience.  It is entertainment. But the two are not the same thing.

I don't go often enough to concern myself with "doing the math". I love the club. A am very comfortable there. Staff is super. LOVE the friendly dancers. I favor the strip club experience, with the occasional "Massage" mixed in when I travel. I'm very fortunate to be in a position where I can afford all that HOT fun with the boys !!

Johnson's Ft Lauderdale is still $20/song

I have a friend that typically gets private dances at Johnson's FTL.  He agrees that it is 'technically' $20 per song, but some dancers can be a bit aggressive and ask for much more.  He said last night, the dancer asked for $100, and my friend thinks he lasted for only 2-3 songs.  But my friend was satisfied with the 'service' although he complained that the dancers are really getting greedy with their price demands.  Last year, another dancer asked for $160 right away and he said no, but did end of paying him $100, but I don't how many songs he performed.   He was upset about that encounter but did enjoy the dancer.  So much, that dancer is his favorite - he terms it as a 'fatal attraction'.

As a rule, I always ask the dancer to let me know when the 1st sing has fished.  And then when he has, depending on my enjoyment, I tell him whether I'm done or whether I want to continue for 3 songs total, for example.  That has always served me well.

Sometimes tell them up front how many songs you want or make sure it is checked with the man who manages the "curtains" who knows when you went in and when you came out (of the private area!) He usually settles disputes and my experience is that there are going to be aggressive dancers (and some are the hottest) that try to get the most they can. In the end, That is why I sample a few so I know who is who - who to avoid - and if you find it hard to resist them, stand your ground with the song count!!!

Can someone clarify the room pricing?  Does it cover (a) the room, and (b) time spent with the dancer?   Or do you continue paying the dancer $25 per song, even when you're in the private room?   That could get VERY expensive fast!

Are they unionized?

Funny, I just asked about the pricing last weekend. The "VIP host" who monitors that area explained that the 15 min private room $165 ($45 House Fee) means that you pay $165, the club keeps $40 and the dancer gets the remaining $125. I haven't tried that yet, but there's a dancer or two I'm considering.

I've done the private room a couple of times. Def will repeat. Considering an upgrade for a longer session.

Agreed - it's not cheap but good privacy and the monitor doesn't bother you until your time has expired.

I mean, 20 a song was standard 15+ years ago, it's still well below the rate of inflation..

 

I've thought about this and $20 a song should have been fine. A stripper worth their weight should easily squeeze 2-3 songs out of a customer, that's $40-60 for 9 mins of work. Blows minimum wage out of the water, especially in FL.

[SirBillybob]

The punter constituency’s johnsons set the price, not Johnsons / Johnson’s … let me know when they figure out how to spell the venue. The dancers don’t set the price. Patrons’ payment of costs historically, including adjustments along the way, dictates it. I don’t go there and the currency conversion yields an absurd upcharge so I would likely try to figure out how to cum more rapidly.
