Johnsons & LeBoy springtime dancers

[Jake]

Was thinking of a thread last night someone started about the rise of internet and demise of bars when I was making the rounds in Fort Lauderdale. The better looking guys don’t need to waste their night in bars forcing themselves to flirt with old men in hopes of a tip. They can go out with their friends and wait for their phone to buzz to make a couple hundred bucks.

 

That said, Johnson’s is holding its own. The upgrades to the stage in the main room look good. There was only one twink so I didn’t stay long. But for those of you guys who like muscle (90% of this board lol), youve got a pretty good selection. Drinks are huge. Parking is a bitch but it’s best to take an Uber anyway. Place smells nice. The guy who runs it pays attention to details like that. Although his “I wish I was on the radio” DJ voice does irritate me to be honest. What is it about strip club announcers? Could be worse. Nothing irritates me more than when drag queens are given the mic so they can carry on annoying conversations no one wants to hear with one person. LeBoy’s drag queens are notorious for this.

 

As for LeBoy, yikes. That message board thread kept popping in my mind all night long. I would load up Grindr and see plenty of really good looking guys with “generous” or “spoil me” in their profile. But the guys working the club are definitely on the lower end of the scale. Lots of C- guys with one or two B’s. Meanwhile four or five guys on Grindr that were definitely grade A were within a mile or two.

 

When LeBoy first opened, they showed promise. Guys had a unique look when they came out on stage and actually stripped. Stripping at a strip club. What a novel idea. Now they again just spend all night in the same underwear and look the same after a couple drinks. The roster was just really lackluster. No guys that make me want to drop any serious cash. And I’ve vented plenty in previous threads about the overpriced dance charges. Btw I noticed a “2 for 1 VIP” message on the screen for most of the night so maybe they are going to get more realistic about pricing. Doubt it but we’ll see.

Does anyone know if Dante still works at LeBoy or Johnsons?

[Jake]

Was surprised not to see him at either last night.

[+ tassojunior]

leBoy's prices (written on the wall broken down to taxes even!) are way too high.

 

Boardwalk has slightly better prices but then you have to pay a $10 fee each entrance plus $5 to the security and/or $5 to the entrance guy. Scam.

 

Johnson's is $10 wristband for booths all night and $20/song with no fees to help. And the guys are 10 times better looking.

[Jake]

Not all have the same taste tasso. But yeah if you like 'em muscular, Johnsons is hands down the new leader in FTL. I'm just not into the beefy gym bunnies this Easter. I like 'em thin as a carrot.

 

I wonder if it would be smart business to have nights for my type? I know most on this board and probably most customers overall aren't as into twinks. Maybe Sunday nights or Thursday nights. If he was to have a 50/50 mix every night, I'm sure it wouldn't be the positive it sounds like it'd be. Not many like both types. Stock and Taboo have their specific clientele and it's no different in Ft Lauderdale. But seems like he's tried to keep a good mix at Johnson's. While it sounds good on paper, most instantly will be turned off by half the dancers. So I don't fault the guy for overloading the roster last night with muscular dudes. I'm sure they bring in way more business. But if one night a week was given for those of us who like college age guys, maybe that'd do well.

 

But back to your point about prices and overall experience, hands down, Johnsons wins. LeBoy only gets my (limited) business since they have the monopoly on that type.

[Jake]

I don't think I've ever done a private dance at Boardwalk... maybe once or twice a long time ago. But generally the guys aren't my type. But if I remember, there are no still no curtains right? Those tack on fees are so ridiculous. Johnsons structure is smart for 2 reasons... 1 it encourages the customer to stay longer for another dance since they've already paid for a wristband. That's good for the club and customer. And 2, it's good for the dancers because they know the customer is down for fun.

[RandyC]

I'll be on a week a week of debauchery in FTL next week... Been to Boardwalk many times over the years but the price of admission to the lap dance area has discouraged my use of the area. I will try Johnsons & LeBoy this trip as well... anyplace else I should venture?

[Jake]

Does anyone know if Dante still works at LeBoy or Johnsons?

Just saw on the LeBoy Instagram he is apparently back.

[+ Cock Eyed Optimist]

Just saw on the LeBoy Instagram he is apparently back.

 

Yes, Facebook just posted an ad saying, "Guess Who Is Back! Dante!", along with a new pic of him.

[Jake]

He wasn't there this weekend, but tbh I wasn't disappointed. I like seeing changeover when I visit. He's a nice kid though.

 

So after a weekend of visits to all 3 bars, Johnson's is clearly the front runner. The guys generally aren't my type, but the overall bar experience is so much better than Boardwalk and LeBoy. Boardwalk just seems to be on autopilot. Same unsexy meathead dancers. As I said, Johnson's guys aren't my type, but I recognize they're good looking and defined. And as for LeBoy, besides a few fun bartenders, they're in a rebuilding season as they'd say in sports... except there doesn't seem to be much effort in rebuilding. The dancer roster is bland. Prices and fees are way too much for the kind of guys they have performing. Few had any personality. They still do the chat with their friends routine instead of working. Music is garbage rap geared towards the dancers and not the customers. I always chuckle when I see rap videos playing while most of your clientele is well into their 60s and 70s. Learn who your fucking audience is. I'm not saying you have to play Bill Haley and the Comets, but come on.

 

The only fun I had at LeBoy had nothing to do with LeBoy. I struck up a conversation with a group of dancers from a cruise ship. All gay dudes and chicks, except for one guy, who as luck would have it, was the stunner of the group. 21ish, beautiful face and abs, toned all over. He is the prototype of what a Johnny's/LeBoy dancer should be. About 140 pounds with muscle and a face that belongs on magazine covers. All I could think of was that line from the Ryan Gosling movie... "Seriously? You look like you're Photoshop'd." I'll honor his privacy but he told me about a TV show he was on and as soon as I got home I did some Googling and jeeeeeeeeezus, he showed me his abs in person but after seeing him perform shirtless on YouTube, I can see why he had tens of thousands of fans on social media, mostly teenage girls obsessing over him. He had a killer personality and appreciated that I wasn't trying to grope him like some customers apparently had. Once I realize a guy is straight, I back off the touchy feely thing. Most gay guys don't. And after an hour, he was the one with his arms around my shoulder and hugging me as we drank into oblivion. So anyway, that was my fun this weekend - and it really had little to nothing to do with the club.

 

So back to Johnson's. Even though there were only 2 or 3 guys my type, it's where I would spend the most of my time if you're planning a Fort Lauderdale visit. The cool plus of its location is you can take a break and wander around the other bars, restaurants and shops in Wilton Manors. Parking is a bitch, but take an Uber anyway. As I said in an earlier post, the guy running the place (Matt?) pays attention to details. The best example: the place smells nice. There was a little too much of the scent, but whatever it is, it's far better than the smell of cigarettes and alcohol that make your clothes reek when you get home. His staff is friendly. Only problem is the waitstaff should be dancing. While there were only 2 or 3 dancers I liked, had the twinks serving been on stage, I'd have had twice as much to look at. But again, I'm aware most like the beefy muscle guys so I get it. Dancers aren't pushy but they engage. Drink prices are crazy low for a strip club. And we've already talked about the simple fair price structure for private dances (which are actually private unlike Boardwalk). And going back to the music, Johnson's gets it. You don't have to play Nicki Minaj over and over all night. Mix it up. Play some rock. Play some 80s. Play some current dance. But play music that appeals to the customers not the kids dancing. Duh.

 

Last tip for other out of towners... I don't know if you already use Grindr and similar apps when you're at home, but download it while you're in Ft Lauderdale. There were many many options there. Many are pretty blunt in their profile about what they're looking for. They'll either say looking for their own age or that they are looking for "gen" (generous). Given the lopsided population of old guys, young guys on the apps tend to be pretty up front in their profile about whether or not they're interested in your attention.

[Jake]

I'll be on a week a week of debauchery in FTL next week... Been to Boardwalk many times over the years but the price of admission to the lap dance area has discouraged my use of the area. I will try Johnsons & LeBoy this trip as well... anyplace else I should venture?

 

In Ft Lauderdale, those are your options. I think you'll be a Johnson's fan. Unless you're a twinks guy, your LeBoy visit will be short. But the good thing is all 3 places are within about a mile of each other. An Uber from one club to another is about $6-8.

Last month at Boardwalk, it was $20 for a wrist band on Fri. & Sat., $10 on Sun. (the only nights I stopped in) for entry to the lap dance area. With the wrist band, I only tipped dancers for their time. The cubicles are curtained, and there are 2 larger curtained spaces in the back. I think there was a higher charge for the larger spaces, but I always chat very pleasantly with the attendant in back & 3 or 4 times he said, "For you, you can go into one of those back ones if you want."

I don't do lap dances at LeBoy. I've tried in the past (drinking rum muddles my better judgement), but the space & seats are too narrow for any comfortable fun and as others have mentioned, the pricing is ridiculous.

Johnsons definitely has the best deal. $10 for a wrist band that allows unlimited trips to the lap dance area. Privacy curtains allow for as much fun as the dancer is willing to provide.

Heading down this weekend for another round of making the rounds.....

[RandyC]

Dancers at Boardwalk were very nice eye candy but as others have said they can be a little pushy. Had a few lap dances at Johnson's, hot guys, fun

[hwic04]

Anyone have recommendations for specific dancers at Johnson’s? Also would love to get names of dancers who are available to hire outside the club. Any details on what each dancer is willing to do during a lap dance session very much appreciated. PM me if you care to share 411. Thx.

Copy of comments I wrote on the other site

 

Wednesday nite (Feb 22nd) I went first To Johnsons after dinner in Thaï restaurant on the Alibi Plaza. No cover. Maybe 15 boys and a decent number of customers. Very convenient location (you do not have To drive to the place and can go have a look after dinner in the area). Maybe more problems for parking during the week end. There has been an effort in the selection of boys : most are handsome. There are a couple of twinks and the others are more muscular. I like particularly a tall blond always smiling hunk (I am not the only one liking him : he does not stop going to the back with different customers). A guy from Caracas is also great IMO : slightly hairy chest, good abs, very nice latino face, great smile. A tall Italian lad from Milano is also putting some pressure on me so that I take him to the back. My preferred is Teron (?). He is caucasian and the only one dancing in jockstrap. He loves showing his body and bending to show his ass. Only one dancer is wearing armbands. Obviously you can tip all dancers where you want and touch rapidly what you want while tipping : abs, ass or even cock. Policy on this point was much more strict in both locations of Swinging Richards.

 

A nice place, good looking boys, reasonnably priced drinks. It might become my favorite place in FLL ..

 

My Best lapdance so far was with Xavier. Xavier is from Caguas de Puerto Rico. He has a rather muscular body with a trimmed hairy chest. A nice smiling face and incredible green eyes. He is a gay top with a muscular ass and a tight asshole that he shows generously giving you will to penetrate. His uncut cock became hard very quickly during lapdances. A treat. Highly recommended. Xavier used To work at LeBoy but now moved to Johnsons.

 

I Forget to mention that if you are unable to recognized Javier from description above you can check his upper back where his full name is written. Of course you had better read cyrillic alphabet since it is written in cyrillic. If you try hard you can get his full name and find him on Facebook. I understood that he has some Bulgarian origin thence the writting.

 

Among the Best boys IMO, is Alex from Caracas. Rather short guy but Perfect proportions, slightly hairy trimmed chest, rock hard chiseled abs with lovely happy trail to be followed Down To the cock and big balls, all perfectly hairy in my opinion. Then you can discover Alex s tattoes: a rather big one on the belly and very small ones from here and there. Alex is only 20 but worked out a lot to get this Perfect body. As a gymnast he entered the stage yesterday walking on his hands and was very sexy at the pole. Lapdances with him are very sexy. He does not wait to remove everything and let you play with his dick and balls and his furry asshole and firm ass. He kisses you gently, lick your nipples ... Should I add he is very friendly. Perfect !

 

A few comments about other boys in Johnsons :

 

- Teron : with Javier and Alex mentionned above, Teron is among my preferred boys. From New York, learning architecture, Teron is a gay top who enjoys showing his body. He is normally wearing a jockstrap which make visible his perfect ass. He is tall, muscled with a small beard, smiling, friendly. Very sexy dances at the poles and very sexy lapdances with erection of his thick cock. Highly recommended.

 

- Eric from Cuba. Has some difficulties in English. Elvis Presley hair style. Nice body. Lapdance a bit average but I was pissed because he mentioned from the beginning that I had to pay 60$ for having him naked. I spent only one lapdance with him because of that. I think it is more linked to the average English he speaks because he has always been very friendly and sexy outside the backrooms.

 

- Tiago from Milano, Italy. Tall guy. No tattoo. Smooth and soft skin. Very young face with short and curly black hair. OK lapdance.

 

- Alberto from Madrid, Spain. Hunk with butch body and huge tattooes on his chest, including a woman on his left shoulder. Strange afro haircut. He seemed to have an erection on stage, but it is effect of a cock ring. OK lapdance.

 

- Angel. Half Spanish half Peruvian. Looks older because his baldness. Asks immediately if I am interested in escort. Tall and muscular guy. NIce chest. Average lapdance.

 

- Federico, Tall very muscular guy with shoulder length hair. I remember him from Swinging Richards. Professional lapdances. Federico is from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

 

- Nakori from Puerto Rico, tattoo of large wings across his chest. Lot of tattooes everywhere

 

- Sebastian from Colombia. Indian type. Short guy. Great abs. Rather shy

 

- Jonas from Brazil. The only Brazilian it seems. OK body. Shy guy.

 

- Damien (with name Ryan tattoed on his chest). Muscular. Gymnast. Great show at the pole. Sexy dance walking on his hands. Nice hairy chest. Blond guy with beard. I would have gone with him to a lapdance but did not manage.

 

- Marco from Madrid, Spain. Tall next door guy.

 

On Friday, there were 27 dancers. Easy to count them : while Damien-Ryan was performing on stage alone, all dancers were invited to a briefing by Matt. BTW, I only saw one black dancer (from Colombia I think).

Thanks for your detailed review Pauleiro. Do you know if Americans Chad or Travis are dancing at Johnson's?

[+ jeezopete]

Pauleiro, I thank you too. Headed to FtL tonight for a weekend of rest & fun. Hopefully more fun than rest. I appreciate your notes & will be checking out your recommendations!

[+ jeezopete]

Wow, just disregard my Boardwalk wristband info about 6 posts up.

 

When I went in Dec. it was $20 to the club for each trip to the lap dance area.

 

In March, it was $20 for the wristband that provided endless trips to the curtained area.

 

This past weekend it was, get this.... $35 for the 1st trip back and $10 for each time after that! (Though if someone were to do 3 or more dances, this rate beats the Dec. rate.)

Still... 3 different rates in the last 4 months.

 

I have to say, Victor is really ruining profits for the dancers and fun for the customers.

The fancy carpet runner in front of the bar and the cocktail tables & chairs in front of the stage are obviously very weak attempts to compete with Johnsons' much nicer environment. I still drop in to see a couple of the guys I like & to check out any new talent, but most of my time this trip was spent at Johnsons. And yeah, most of my money was spent at Johnsons.

[mikefl81]

Any update on the Ft Lauderdale spots - I’m heading there this weekend. Thanks!

[+ jeezopete]

Yeah, quick note about Johnsons: the curtains in the lap dance area now have to remain slightly open. The dancer I was with last night explained (& showed me ) it's due to the excessive cum stains on the curtains. He also kept looking back at the gap, said management occasionally checks on the activities in there.

I've always believed that the strip clubs in Montreal and Fort Lauderdale should recognize reality and provide tissues and wastebaskets in the lap dance rooms. 'nuf said.

LOL truth but I'd imagine they'd have to tell officials "Our clients often have a runny nose."
