No. 5 Orange on Main is not really downtown, but downtown eastside.

Oh shit, I forgot about Brandi's downtown on Hornby.



The Drake on Powell is still around. There used to be a bikini bar at other end of the block.

Flash One at The Austin Hotel, Circus Circus, and Champagne Charlies were on Granville.

The Marble Arch was on Richards.

The Niagara Hotel was on W. Pender.

The Cobalt on Main used to have strippers.

The Blue Boy Motel and the Fraser Arms Hotel on Marine used to have them as well.

There was also the one at the hotel/motel on Kingsway near the Safeway that I can't remember the name.


I think that's all the Vancouver peeler bars that I can remember.

Heh. Vancouver really isn't known for having much in the way of strip clubs... which is surprising considering we ARE a port city.

Saw a Sin City special on Vancouver and we supposedly had some of the best strip clubs around.

The place on Kingsway was called Cheetah's if I am not mistaken.

The Cobalt still has their GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS sign at the front door but I have asked and there are 3 things wrong with that sign.

It's been the only club I've been to in Vancouver, made it up there for the Digweed and Kleinenberg show. Had a blast at both. The only thing that bugs me, and I don't know if this is the club's deal or not, is that I tried to pull out some money for some beer at the ATM by the door. It didn't let me take out any, nor did it let my sister. I'm sure other people from the US have had similar problems at that ATM, but I do praise the staff there. My sister and I were worried that we were not going to be able to have cash, so we asked the staff at the door if we could leave (you couln't leave the venue) and try the ATM at he casino. The staff was fine with it, and when we got back, we didn't have to wait in line, they just moved the gates and let us in. I felt very important

Bring earplugs. I've been there where the volume is extreme -- far past damage levels.

$5 for a bottle of water!

agreed ^

im not sure if they do it on purpose or if the sound people they hire are tools, but even with standard earplugs levels can be way above acceptable, its almost like you need industrial-issued ear plugs to go to plush

best places to escape the loudness: both sides of the stage and the second level balcony

I havent been up to that balcony since 2000
