Bunch of newbie/stupid questions about Swinging Richards

[Decatur Guy]

I know my way around a sex club, and I've been hiring escorts for several years now. And I know how online pickup sites work. But I have yet to set foot into a male strip club. So, I'm wondering how it all works and how much money I would be spending.

 

If I decided to go to Swinging Richards in Atlanta tonight, can you break it down for me?

 

* I've heard lots of grumbling about parking. How much do you pay to park? (I live not so far away. I could probably take a cab if it's a lot).

 

* What's the cover to get in? (And I assume Saturday after 10 is probably the maximum price)

 

* OK, I've paid the parking and the cover. I want a mixed drink, let's say. How much is that (roughly. I know it depends on what you get)?

 

* OK. I'm in there. I've got a drink. I assume there are hot guys in various stages of undress. Are they putting on a show on a main stage or are they scattered about the club or what? Can you watch from afar? I assume one might walk up to them and put $1 and $5 bills into their shoes or g-strings, etc.? Roughly how many performers would be there?

 

* Very stupid question -- but what's a lap dance (I know generally), but specifically what do they do and how do you arrange it? How much does that cost? Is it in private or public? I'm not sure I've ever really gotten the point of those.

 

* I keep hearing about these VIP rooms. Can someone tell me about those? How do you arrange one? Is there a door or just a curtain? How long do you get in there? What can happen in there? Full nudity? Touching? Actual sex? Can you, for instance, give a blow job to a dancer in a VIP room? How much is all of that?

 

* Has anyone ever met another patron there and picked him up (for free) vs. a dancer? Or is everyone glued to the expensive hot guys to the extent average Joes don't want to play with each other? Has anyone ever hired a dancer for after-hours fun?

 

What I'm trying to figure out ultimately is this: I can hire a good escort here from $150 to $250 and get a full-on, condom-on safe fuck in a very easy, no BS manner. What can you get at Swinging Richards for $200?

 

Sorry, I know it's a lot of questions, and my thank you in advance to anyone who chooses to answer any or all of these questions. Feel free to PM me if you'd rather do that.

See answers below. All in all it's great fun with hot guys.

It's not that much. I went Wednesday and it was $3. Not sure but it could go up to $10 on weekends but that's still cheaper than a roundtrip cab.

 

 

 

* What's the cover to get in? (And I assume Saturday after 10 is probably the maximum price)

 

On Wednesday I believe it was $5.

 

* OK, I've paid the parking and the cover. I want a mixed drink, let's say. How much is that (roughly. I know it depends on what you get)?

 

My drinks were $8.25 plus tip

It seems there can be anywhere from 10 - 30+ depending on the night. Only 2-3 are on stage at one time so the rest are working the crowd for lap dances.

 

 

* Very stupid question -- but what's a lap dance (I know generally), but specifically what do they do and how do you arrange it? How much does that cost? Is it in private or public? I'm not sure I've ever really gotten the point of those.

 

There are two kinds of lapdances - one on the floor and one in the VIP room. On the floor it typically is them bumping and grinding on you while you're sitting. In the VIP room they generally take off their underwear and there's more opportunity to feel around. The VIP room admission costs $10 normally I believe. Lapdances on the floor I think are $10 and $20 in the VIP room.

 

 

* I keep hearing about these VIP rooms. Can someone tell me about those? How do you arrange one? Is there a door or just a curtain? How long do you get in there? What can happen in there? Full nudity? Touching? Actual sex? Can you, for instance, give a blow job to a dancer in a VIP room? How much is all of that?

 

I've been to the VIP room several times with a couple of dancers. Until this last time (see SR Disappointment thread), it was very interactive but no anal sex. Part of the thing with SR's is that with a VIP room lapdance you get a lot for your $20 so if you pay for a VIP room the expectations are raised. The VIP rooms are $140 for 15 minutes. I have heard of dancers being available for more after hours.

 

 

* Has anyone ever met another patron there and picked him up (for free) vs. a dancer? Or is everyone glued to the expensive hot guys to the extent average Joes don't want to play with each other? Has anyone ever hired a dancer for after-hours fun?

 

I'm usually very focused on the dancers so not sure.

For $200 you definitely get some lapdances and/or a private room that may go further than a regular lapdance. It's probably best to ask.

Hey Decatur Guy, in my opinion Swinging Richards is way over priced. First I am not going to rent a VIP room for $150 for 15 mins, then pay a dancer $100 to service him. And even if he services me, it’s too expensive. Since I have never partaken in the VIP, I’m not sure if that would happen anyway. I just assume more happens there than in the back VIP bar which you might cope a feel (haven’t said that since HS). The cover is $10,. Parking is $3, a drink $6-$10 including tip and to go back to the VIP bar is $10. There is always a good selection of Dancers and usually good looking patrons. I go because it’s a very nice club, have a couple of drinks and then move on.

I have actually had more fun at BJ’s, I was there last night. No cover, free parking, some really cute dancers, all shapes, sizes and more important to me Gay. I would say the dancers at BJ’s 80% gay and at Swinging Richard’s 80% are str8. The drinks at BJ’s are strong and about $6 and beer is $4.50. More important to me is BJ’s is like a bar, where you can strike up a conversation with other patrons; I have met many new friends there and also gotten dates by going there. By the way BJ’s is in their new location next to the Heretic on Cheshire Bridge.

Poor Bliss the other club is just withering away, sorry to say I can’t recommend there. Very cute twinks and nice staff, But I just don’t think it can make it.

It is only $140 for 15min VIP. $40 goes to club and $100 goes to dancer.

Thanks for input. I look forward to additional responses, but from what I can tell and for what I like, I'm better off with the escort route. I may still try something at some point just to say I did it. Maybe BJ's.

It's all in what u r looking for...

 

Swinging Richards Atlanta is fun....I always have a great time when I go there. As far as pricing....I have spent as little as $150 all in there (no VIP) up to $500 ( with a couple of VIPs). I probably am in there 15 to 20 times a year and have never left unhappy. I like the variety in guys the most.

I am Sorry for the misquote at $560 per hour way to expensive.

[dcoolgy]

I'm headed to Atlanta on Monday for work for the week and had similar questions. Never been to a strip club before.

 

Also not to change the topic but any escort recomendations?

Well....to be honest room rates drop as time goes on. For an hour it would only cost $525. And most nights they run specials where u get an hour for half hour rates. But I agree still way expensive.
